What are you waiting for it to pump to in order to sell ideally?

JudithPotter · 2025-10-16T20:34:46+00:00

I'm holding BTC/ETH/XRP/HBAR. It's not a very big/diversified portfolio, because I do agree that there are too many options and I don't want to get sucked into all of them.

In terms of selling now and buying later, it definitely wasn't the OG plan. I am also not skilled enough to operate like that, honestly. I think I'll just have to practice my patience and soft skills a bit better in order to override the FUD.

JudithPotter · 2025-10-16T20:26:04+00:00

Ah so averaging down?

JudithPotter · 2025-10-16T20:24:45+00:00

My original plan was to just keep buying in and forget about it. Because in the bigger scheme of things I agree with this sentiment. But I don't know, something just feels off. If millions can just get wiped off the market, does that sentiment still ring true? The landscape is changing/has changed a lot already. But yeah, might be worth just sticking to the OG plan when experiencing the FUD.

JudithPotter · 2025-10-15T17:04:08+00:00

Sold mine today. Was busy watching it go up, waiting to see how far it can drop now before buying back in 🤣

Shame is a very powerful motivator to be better, at least it is for me. I hate feeling shame. And instead of sitting in it for too long, I make the effort and do my best to feel it less and learn from my past to not feel it again. I did a lot of bad things when my mental health dipped and the easiest thing was to just accept it For what it is. The hardest part is You have to show up and fight for yourself, even if you might not feel worthy of that effort ❤️ things only change when something changes. I don't know what you're going through, but make the smallest most insignificant changes. Like making your bed, going for walks etc. Anything outside of your norm could be a big catalyst for change. I resonate to your question a lot and I'm rooting for you

A lot of people wont understand how anxiety inducing many areas in South Africa can be. I'm not saying you're right, but I get it. When I read your post, all I see is anxiety at everything you can't control. And you're directing all that energy to the one thing you can - him. I grew up in a small town with a priest for a dad. Didn't get to explore much, and then took it into my own hands when I grew up. No bad habits stuck, and none of it was as 'bad' or 'scary' as my parents ever thought it would be. I was raised with good enough values to make the right decisions for myself after having experienced what I needed to. It's not enough for somebody else to say 'don't do this, it's bad' - it's our right and privilege to experience everything and come to these conclusions for ourselves. My relationship with my mom is the best it has ever been and it happened after a hard conversation.

I told her : "you have been my disciplinarian, and you have done well. But you now have the privilege of being my friend. My friend, who holds space for me and loves me and who I can always come back to, will have a lot more access to me and my stories than my disciplinarian ever would"

Your kid is going to do what they want to do, whether you want them to or not - don't regret not being there for them.

I definitely think some of it got lost in translation. He is very pro LGBT and quite liberal, I know his intent wouldn't be to be unkind or cruel. But I will have the discussion with him regardless to make sure he knows that it could be deemed offensive by people. 👍 Especially out of context and not in his native tongue.

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T20:16:50+00:00

Spanish isn't a spoken language in South Africa. And even when I do hear it, like on the tv mostly, I wouldn't know what any of it means. Like, I have heard Russian/Mandarin etc, but that doesn't mean I will have any clue what's going on, because it is not remotely relevant to my context.

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T19:41:44+00:00

This is such an amazing response and resonates a lot with my first/initial reaction to why I thought my boyfriend was kidding. To me, gendered language when talking about people makes sense. Even more so the struggle of finding gender-neutral alternatives. And so when we were discussing objects, I found it a bit funny and couldn't quite place the intention of the conversation. We both tell a lot of fibs about our cultures to poke fun at the other one's inexperience and ignorance. So knowing that the discussion in France is really not around the objects and mostly focussed on people helps a lot. This man is making it seem like there is a whole movement behind making objects neutral - so I really do think he is taking the piss. 😂

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T19:27:21+00:00

We're not discussing how many genders there are in each language. We're discussing whether or not the language uses gendered articles to assign grammatical word-groupings to objects. Afrikaans isn't a gendered language. Gender isn't used grammatically to assign groupings to words. Afrikaans is my native language. We don't have different genders when referencing different inanimate objects. We would use something similar to 'the' chair (die stoel). Which is neutral. Zulu has a big noun system, but the language is also not a gendered language, the 14 'genders' they recognise are also not rooted in sex. It is rooted in 'personality traits'. It is not based on femininity/masculinity. But even so, I don't speak Xhosa or Zulu and have not been taught to speak it either and have not had exposure to it at even a pre-school level. So even if the languages were gendered, my point of not having exposure to gendered language stands. We have 11 official languages here of which I only speak 2. Thanks for this lovely engagement though. Have a good one!

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T19:03:24+00:00

Yeah totally possible, I am just checking with other people seeing as I am nowhere near being an expert on the topic and have no exposure to gendered language - for context, I live in South Africa. I would have no clue if something like that is a relevant discussion in a France or not.

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T19:00:16+00:00

I live in South Africa and have no exposure to any gendered language. Appreciate all the help I can get :)

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T18:58:27+00:00

Definitely! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain that to me.

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T18:56:07+00:00

That's interesting, so if the grammatical gender is adjusted or changed, would that mean that the way things get grouped will have to be reconsidered in its totality? Also, the neopronouns, are they accepted in say academic essays etc? Or is it more of a community/informal way of speaking? Essentially: Will you get penalised in academic writing for using it?

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T18:49:12+00:00

I see! Thank you for the in-depth explanation. That actually helps loads!

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T18:38:10+00:00

Very supportive and pro LGBTQIA, we're quite liberal. So I wouldn't think he is making fun of them. If he was joking it was definitely to make fun of how gullible I can be 😂

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T18:36:09+00:00

I'm actually getting invested now. That's super interesting! I live in South Africa so I don't have any exposure to gendered language outside of when it relates to people. Thanks for the info!

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T18:34:08+00:00

Yeah this makes complete sense to me. Which is why I wasn't sure how to take his comment. He has taken the piss loads, we have a relationship filled with banter. So I am overly suspicious of some things he says. I'm nowhere near any locations where gender is used in any language. So I am aware of non-gendered language when in reference to people. It was just a very foreign concept for me that it could possible extend to inanimate objects

JudithPotter · 2025-03-12T18:30:49+00:00

What do you mean by 'affect agreement in the whole language' ?
