While the market sleeps,
Late January, I stood on a field overlooking my daily charges, children roaming to and fro. I teach. My assistant wandered by and asked me how my coins were doing in his friendly way. There was one that I had just found that appealed to me. We talked about darkcoin and the possibilities. It wasn't until a few days later that I bought from Poloniex and held my first dark, I had missed out on the vertcoin pump, but I didn't understand really why something that appealed to miners and not end-users was soaring so high. I held dark, traded some every time it hit resistance at .002 and benefited from the c-cex dumper who kindly came to spread his wares on Polo. I felt more at ease holding dark than btc, so I stopped trading. It held it's value for 2 months, boring many, and yet I was sure that it didn't matter, something would come of this.
April, murmurs in the market. The move upwards was startling. I was sure that Dark belonged in the top 5 by market cap and the market came around to this view. I was restless, didn't sleep well because this rather small investment was now worth more than half my yearly salary. I was prudent, father of 3 young kids, so I sold out half my position, cleared debt, repaid savings of my initial crypto investment.
The market has been relentless with the noise. A new anom solution daily, thankfully it is slowing down now. I understand the desire to capture the magic of Dark's early rise. I appreciate the hard work of everyone involved in this project. Something the anom guru said recently caught my eye, from the mint himself, Darkcoin may surprise us because Evan is a doer instead of a talker. Thank you Dev for working so hard, it is obvious that you have been relentless in your pursuit.
Time is all mine, I am excited for the days and years to come. Long Dark and proud.
