Hi everyone,
I believe it is meaningful to take time to invest in a personal retrospective of the past, because there's lot of leaning to be taken out.
I have a long history in crypto, and I have to confess that I'm a bit techie about this topic. My professional career is built in product development in semiconductors, with a focus on hardware based security, and is probably not a wonder that I got the first contact to BTC mining back in 2010, experienced the very first days of LTC, but I skipped ETH and smart contracts, only to discover STEEM/HIVE back in August 2017, and since then to be present here on daily bases.
This year was a big surprise for me, as I have not anticipated the broad institutional adoption or the NFT Boom.
January 2021 started with mixed feelings: BTC value was oscillating around a local maximum at 36k, my friends had divergent opinions, taxi drivers were talking about great invest opportunities in cryptocurrency. I had no clue how the year will end, I set myself low targets, and I'm surprised now on the status:

And then we had the February to May period. BTC went 2x (from 32k to a max of 64k), tested with few occasions the Support and Resistance levels, and took the complete market with it.
The big fear of June was fast forgotten, and we were submerse in the amazing boom of Splinterlands which started in July.
And last, but not least, we had a nice BTC recovery, and a consolidation of the entire market on the end of the year.
Looking on my Personal Crypto Account, I'm a bit shocked of all that was possible. How could one predict a 13.65x increase year-to-year?

We are living a world of endless opportunities. But this comes with high risks and responsibilities. Are we fully ready for it? Probably not... What do you think?
My learnings from the last year? Never be afraid to dream big. Risks can be reduced with diversification. Continuous control of your investments is crucial. And you should never be afraid to cut the unhealthy ones.
Whish you all a successful 2022!

Happy New Year, Alex!
I can make no predictions for 2022. We shall live, and see...
Mood is very positive at the moment, and new projects are announced on the HIVE chain. Let's see what opportunities arise from this.
Let's see, even if the down spike in the past days, I think the year will be bullish.

Thanks!
Crypto is full of opportunity and good luck during 2022. It looks like Splinterlands is in for a correction as even the rental market has been hit hard.
