Between thirst and storm - marine adventures in the world of finance
Imagine for a moment that you are the captain of a sailing galleon that has been drifting in the calm in the middle of the ocean for several weeks.
Water and provisions are exhausted, a riot is brewing among the team, a difficult situation.
And then, suddenly, waking up in the morning, you see that the ocean current has driven your ship to the island.
You see an opportunity to resupply water and provisions, but, over the horizon, you see a storm coming.
Storm waves can throw a sailboat on reefs, smash it against sharp rocks, but you are standing between an inexorable thirst for water and a storm, both heavenly and within the ship's crew.
What choice will you make?
Similar decisions have to be made in real life, when your ocean and ship are cryptocurrency exchanges.
The human factor plays an important role in making difficult decisions.
Sometimes, it is better to lose a little than to lose everything, but cut off all bridges with a weak link.
Escape on the island, or save the ship?
I think that being thirsty, you will soon have no strength left to pray for salvation, but once you are on the island, having found water and provisions, make an effort and ask God to save the ship.
A picture drawn by me and slightly modified from the initial version will illustrate my thoughts.
Our crypto wallet, like a ship in a shipyard, lines up in a given order.
At the beginning, when we are completely new to the crypto world, it looks like this pile of bricks scattered on the roof of a thermal substation, which I photographed from my balcony.
Then, after some time, we get to know the various coins closer and the wallet begins to take the form of a ship.
It happens that from the first days storms lie in wait for you, but they subside.
Yesterday, I lost my vigilance, did not find a post from ecoinstant, which talks about the departure of the developer who controlled the DHEDGE and BRO codes and I bought over a thousand DHEDGE coins, lol.
The oversight, the loss of vigilance, cost me not very much, but this morning I sold all the coins, tore the bridges.
It was not an easy decision, I was caught between thirst and storm. In theory, I could buy the whole DHEDGE and hope for the return of the developer, but I do not want to.
I wish the guys to find ways to solve the problem, but I don’t want to lose everything, I need to save at least the boat).

There is little fun here, lol, although there is a reason to have fun, mocking yourself, because I did not take into account an important factor, the human one. Thank you!

This is very cool! I like pirates. I never understood why more people don't become pirates, but there you go, maybe when there's no work for me to do I can do this kind of thing.
The only thing is, I'm not sure I have the right tools to make them. I'm not sure what size of paper they are supposed to be printed on. The size of the paper it's printed on varies with the size of the paper itself, though, so that has a whole other factor it's dealing with.
There's some pretty complicated math involved in that. What kind of size paper do you usually buy to print these, to keep the costs down?
I love the pirate hats and their names. Especially the one with "Dr. Doolittle" and the one with "Sir Francis". Those would make for good nicknames for real-life pirates.
I would love to know how to get a copy of the code you use to make them.
My friend, this is all handmade on top of a photograph, there are no codes here, as in the construction of fractals.
I was observing your technique and it is fascinating! Reminds me of iterations of the big sleep. I notice the photograph and have it in front of me...I am really enjoying it. I am wondering if I should try it before bed. Just might.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I do everything in a free program on pixlr.com, I like it.
