I did pretty much what you’re doing now anon.

It got me basically nowhere. $100 in a big cap is practically the stupidest thing you can do in a market like this. I’ve been realizing I’d probably honestly be actually better off if I put a significant sum of my poorfolio (~$3000 at this point) in one thing and wait for it to moon.

Of course though you’ve got to recognize the market conditions. I remember in late 2017 early 2018 anons were giving the exact same advice as what I said above, but that’s because that was an alt bull market, big time. It wasn’t hard to stick everything in something that hadn’t pumped and just wait.

Nowadays shit’s different. You put a big amount in a shitcoin and you’re almost 95% guaranteed to watch it just pathetically bleed out, until you either cut losses early and realize what a dumb idea that was (especially if you keep doing it multiple times.........me), or even worse, hold on to it and REALLY lose the big bucks.

That’s why I’ve unironically found better consistent success just margin trading BTC. I use fairly high leverage and I’d say more often than not I end up cutting a trade nearly right away for a $5-10 loss. But if you hold on to those 5000, 10,000-contract positions and guess right, you can ride pumps sometimes and 3, 4, 5x your account pretty easily. Which is what I’ve been doing, it’s the only thing I’ve found to make me money lately.

Even like SENT, which pumped 3x like twice now and which I thought was a genuinely promising coin, has now crept back down to my original buy-in of 21sats. So probably gonna have to cut that, just like most every other shitcoin I’ve tried my hand in. In a bear market you just have to take profits quick I think, unless you’re doing margin and are able to short.

My point is this, I think:

I had a suspicion throughout my long year+ of job hunting that my biggest problem might be, without a hint of irony, that the companies can smell my desperation. This interview felt distinctly different from all the other ones I'd done (at other, bigger, more haughty-taughty companies like Northrop Grumman etc) in that I literally didn't give a fuck what they thought about my professional weaknesses, just the fact that:
>I *did* show up
>I let myself loosen up a bit
>I made sure to emphasize what I really cared about, and what I KNEW I was good at:
>my focus on crypto
>my ability to learn any new skill/coding language relatively quickly, even though I'm not deeply experienced in any single one)
>a genuine connection to the interviewer where I'm not just sitting & listening him drone about the job. He showed me some of their old systems that he wants to upgrade, and I put some real thought into figuring out what it was he wanted to do with them, what was wrong, and what technologies we both did or didn't like [and why]


>tl;dr
The key is to move yourself and your progress in the job search forward quickly, without getting tripped up along the way worrying about all the minute unnecessary details that you THINK matter.

It really is all about the human connection I think. And I say this as a bit of a former autist myself. I still think the job-getting process should be SIGNIFICANTLY more automated. Less human involvement so we don't have to waste time making sure we like each other first (despite what I said previously making it seem like a good thing)

Employers don't fucking care about your GPA/skills/if your tie matches your shirt color.
This is THE thing you cucks.
It's literally this simple...if you can look the guy in charge in the eye, and communicate to him confidently that you can do this or that, and that you understand what causes them headaches in the business and can help fix them, that's all that matters to get you the job.
