When the markets crash I like to do fun things. Grill, chill and going for a drive.

in life •  7 years ago 

When the markets crash I always like to do fun things instead of watching graphs I have no control over. I no longer trade.

But I still thought I saw a nice opportunity when the price of SBD jumped on Poloniex. I don't like exchanges that much anymore. But a small extra effort for such a nice premium looked well worth it.

But when I tried to send some SBD there I realized quickly that for whatever reason they disabled deposits. I decided to do what I like best instead. Grill and chill. I said to Bianca lets go to the shop.


Because of Bianca's diet I find myself more and more in the wrong section of the market.

I poured myself a little leftover white from when Serge came to visit

Even though with all the vegetables I love my green egg. Everything that comes from this device just tastes better.

Lol, right :)

Trevor did not have much patience. Not sure why he was so tired.

End result. Steak sandwich with a yogurt and pineapple dressing. Healthy, yet deliccious.

After dinner I saw that it will rain the rest of the week. I asked Bianca if she wanted to have a drive enjoying the sun. We do this often us two. It's relaxing. But someone wanted to join too this time.

It was still warm. I decided to let him cool off.

I live close to the Krimpernerwaard. It's a beautiful part of the Netherlands with many small roads and a lot to see. We have been touring there a lot of times and we always find something new to see.

Trevor in the back, Bianca next to me. I'm driving. Bianca took these shots to give an impression of the weather and the landscape. For me it's home.

It's really beautiful there in the Netherlands! Just getting away for a bit and surrounding yourself with nature slows things down a bit and does wonders for the mind and soul.

I know what you mean about not wanting to watch the markets. I used to be guilty of incessantly monitoring their every move, which usually resulted in me being in a bad mood. My attitude has changed quite a lot since in I've found Steemit. I can't say I don't care about the day to day Steem price, but I'm not really that concerned. I know where it's going to go in the end, so now I just try to enjoy the ride. Thank you for another great post. May you, Bianca & Trevor have a great day! :)

Focus on the positive and nothing bad will ever happen to you ;)

Looks like a perfect day, glad you are enjoying life!

have seen SBD deposits "temporarily disabled" on Poloniex quite a few times recently...

hit up Bittrex instead. they've been solid.

I lost quite some funds on poloniex. Somebody hacked me and ordered a withdrawal i never authorized. Polo never replied ( it's been a few weeks already) it was a good lesson !

Whoa. Wtf. Do you have any idea how they got ahold of your info?

Nop! I made a big mistake. I didn't know how to activate my 2 way varification. It took me 2 days to learn how to do it. Don't forget I am so new with all that stuff but now I am safe ( I guess) .....my funds gone. I am lucky because I earned it through trading, so the actual amount I lost was not that much. I transferred some Steem initially but thanks God not too much.

I'm sorry to hear that mammasitta. Glad your losses were minimal.

Not really but I got over it

You know how to party and chill well 💃

I'm sure you are good at it too!

Tuning in to @exyle s new grill n' chill channel :D That steak looked cooked to perfection so it seems the Green Egg was well worth the investment!

lol! The steak was very nice man.

I bet! Looks like a medium rare :D

That green egg does wonders, and I'm reaching the same conclusion that I should slow down on all the trading as well, its not really worth all the stress & its better to just hold for better gains.

When I read "grill and chill and drive", my mind straight away thought you where going to light up a joint. :) Looks like a great day out!

And yes , lol, at you using your bbq. In Summer my boyfriend also uses his every single day! Even to cook the smallest piece of meat for the two of us. hehe. Good times.

Sounds him and me would get along. I love grilling!

Best thing to do is relax and use the green egg ;) No flavour like meat flavour, right?
Trevor is such lucky guy, is he old because i see some white beard on him. Nice photos btw, like the feel of them.

Noooo that is the right part of the market. Go vegetarian ehehe 😉 but yeah... the markets can change for better or worst. We only can do as much when that happen. And stressing is not an option. 😉

Thanks for your post. Where the mind goes, energy flows... ;-)

I like the part where you said 'instead of watching graphs I have no control over."

muy divertido! lol

Very delicious food.. I also like your strategy.

Looks like you've got the right idea. When all else fails...cook!
