Discord and Telegram to me is very much a crypt-related tool than any other purposes. All sorts of crypto channels, ICO groups, airdrop chats filling up these two messenger apps. I keep telling myself not to dive too deep in the sea of new coins or project or it will be draining all my time catching up with 100 different channels a day.

Keep things minimal and only join channels that really interest me is my only strategy when it comes to adding a new chat. Nonetheless, the channel list still growing to the extent I have to mute most of the chats and only focus on those I currently working on.

Beside the above-mentioned two texting apps, some other apps I started to use more due to crypto was Steemchat, Slack, and even Wechat.

My favorite would still be Discord for the multi channels structure within a server makes it easier for user to navigate through different projects. I would use Telegram for more anonymous purpose like sending myself some crypto addresses or even mediocre private keys.

What is your favorite communication apps for crypto?

Discord 和 Telegram 都是作为 crypto 沟通上最主要的工具。唯一要小心的就是不要什么频道都加入，不然一不小心就会名单爆满，每个都关注一点就足以蚕食大量的时间。所以现在我都是静音了大多数的频道，只关注目前我关心的项目。

The trip from bottom to top, back to bottom.

It’s been one year to finally see Steem price back to the $1 level which was the entry point when I first knew this awesome space and decided to topup the SP using real cold cash.

It was around July and I remember right after that period, everything was starting to grow. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Dogecoin, shitcoins. The massive bull is having a great run. Cryptocurrency is a money printing machine for the late 2017, only if you know when to pull it off and sell for profit.

I’ve pulled some friends into Steem. Few remains, most left. I used to brag to them who listened to my advice buying some Steem while it was still cheap(around $1), because for the past year from now the price was averagely above 1 dollar.

Here we are again, back to my entry price point. I did not even once withdrawing a single Steem/SBD out fo the system so I would not claim myself as a successful investor on Steem as the capital gain back to square now.

What do I see Steem as a product as a whole now?

I felt absolutely nothing about the price dipping to be honest. Despite many drawbacks Steem is having now. Like the subpar Steemit website design, whale problem, curation<everything else, and so on(maybe I should make a list next time).

I still have a strong faith in this project for one reason. The active and intelligent crowd on Steem is something I’ve never seen before in other crypto space(or maybe I did not explore enough yet), excellent tech advantage granted by the Graphene, are the best combo to boost my confidence holding Steem. In fact, I’m in the progress of building my first Daps on Steem, more on that on when it is ready to release.

All in all, do I bother the price dipping? Not at all.

Will I still be active here? Absolutely.

Other than a few Steem meetups, I do not recall attending any crypto event like seminars, workshops or talks. Located in the crypto-friendly country like Singapore, I keep telling myself maybe I should really lift my arse up the computer chair and get a real life in the real crypto event. Did not have any idea where to look for, I proceeded to google the upcoming event in the city. Turns out the Eventbrite has things nicely organised in a list as follow:

Looking at the list, my unconscious reluctant mind keep asking questions like “Cryptocurrency masterclass? Sounds boring.” “What dahell is this? Is it even a topic?” “Do I really need to go to these events to learn or something new” “This information is everywhere on the Internet…”

Some are event teaching the topic like how to spot the 10X ICO. Okay, such claiming maybe a really efective clickbait in real life but is it the really beneficial to those who barely know what is blockchain technology?

Very not appropriate. I wouldn’t recommend my Mom to attend these events because she might be shilling the shitcoins by selling away every penny she has and probably sell away our house.

I’m not saying crypto event is bad but in fact I see more value in them if they were carried out by prominent figures like the famous Vitalik who frequently appears in Singapore. Or it could be project team which I’m interested in giving a talk in the town. That way I would greatly reduce the risk of running into some boring or even poisonous crypto seminars available all the time out there.

After all, internet feeds me with crypto information well enough. Why looking elsewhere?

Learned about the crypto the weird way

I’m a late adopter of crypto started back in the middle of last year when Bitcoin starts to get viral to all the non-crypto-geek circle. Not to say I get to know Bitxoin due to a traditional, shaddy pyramid scheme based money game, which brought me some hard times but I’m still grateful as it linked to me the most famous digital currency.

Been to the ATH

In 2017, that was some sweet old days seeing everything you’ve put in going only in on direction, up up and up! That moment you feel like making money was never so easy. After the all-time-high 800 billion dollar crypto marketcap, it starts to collapse amd dip. And still struggling today around 250B total marketcap.

From sensitive to numb.

I did not realise any paper profit(then) nor lost(now) into fiat as I planned to be a strong Holder in the first place. I still remember the day I worry about every single negative news about crypto and and smile upon good news even for the slightest one. Trading coins in and out was part of my daily activity, I knew almost all the recent price movement of famous coins. Hoping the almighty crypto would bring me out of the boring rat race of working life.

But here I am, still working the same 9-5 job and continueing the rat racing.

Crypto news bring much less impact now to my feels and I no longer trading actively. I stopped react to those news in a big way as I used to. The only thing remains the same is my confidence in the blockchain technology.

You asking for prove? Maybe because I’m still alive in Steem?

Seriously someone please tell me WTF is happening??

Opened up CMC and seeing green colors every where and all the straight lines shooting up! This is the weirdest phenomena I have ever seen in crypto space.

Global market cap is shooting all the way up to 300B as well

WTF crypto, are you drunk?

EDIT: Seems like CoinMarketCap is the one who drunk. Crypto market remains the same way as it is all over the market.
