Is $1 Leo enough to consider retirement?

The thought of Leo getting to $1 gets me excited but also gives me a lot of anxiety. On one hand, it is obviously a very awesome thing for Leo to reach such a value and it will certainly be good for the community. On the other hand, I feel like I'm not ready.

Over the years, Leofinance community has pretty much been my source of income. It is through this community that I developed an interest in crypto content creation and was able to branch out into freelance work.

My lack of formal financial education has been a barrier but the fact that I am still here and growing my portfolio without an external source of income means that I'm doing something right. I learned whatever little I know on the job and Leofinance enables me to share it with anyone willing to look my way.

For sharing information, I earn Leo tokens and of course Hive/HBD from post rewards. Leo token, as you all know, is a second layer token on Hive and you can earn it from sharing content or curating(liking) other people's posts. Your curation earning is based on your stake while your post earning is based on your network.

The Anxiety

The idea of Leo token, in particular, getting to $1, is one that feels me with a bit of excitement and anxiety, as I mentioned earlier. We'll talk about the excitement later but the anxiety of $1 Leo is borne out of the feeling that I don't quite have enough Leo tokens yet.

At the time of writing, I'm sitting on a pile of a bit over 11k Leo tokens that are mostly staked and used for curating. I use to have more but I had to sell to cater to personal stuff. If I hadn't sold, I'd probably have around 17K Leo tokens to my name.

Knowing that there's a strong possibility for Leo to reach $1 and me not having upwards of 20K Leo by then really makes me feel like I'm not quite there yet. I feel like I'm not doing enough to get more Leo and while I can't complain about what I earn from publications, I feel like I really should be buying a bit more Leo tokens from time to time.

The Excitement

On the flipside, the idea of $1 Leo fills me with a certain level of excitement, particularly due to the growth of my curation account.

Assuming Leo hits $1 today, I'll be able to say that I raised over $1,300 from simply curating publications. This would be an incredible milestone and something that I'd be immensely proud of.

At $1, the Leo I earn daily could actually be enough to sustain life in many parts of the world. When we eventually get Leo to $1, a sustained stay at that rate will outrightly transform the lives of thousands of lives around the world.

I can't say when $1 Leo will come around but I know it is on the cards and even higher prices are a possibility. It might take a while but all we can do is keep calm, keep stacking and continue radiating positive energy to the wider crypto community.
