Does anyone else feel that Munro gets OBSCENELY overpraised by literary critics? I'm not saying she isn't good, but

It is a really good book.
Stylistically not amazing, but very well written and entertaining stories.

do whatever it takes to make an extra 5K for crypto investments. not joking. lurk on biz for a few months and invest in a good project with a small market cap, good tech, good team, etc. also check plebbit and telegram. hold onto those invests for a couple years. you can easily turn 5K into 250K+ in a bull market.

i wanted to make a living as a published author too but look around and wake the fuck up. no one reads anymore and those who do are not looking to help guys like us. it's not in the cards in this lifetime, regardless of talent. you can either realize that and figure out a way to make money so that you can write for fun, or you can cry about it and make excuses. your choice. dudes over at biz are getting rich as fuck and escaping this exact sort of fate, that's not a larp.

partnerships, team, tech, use case, community, marketcap (which is why i stress combining biz with other resources because biz is full of shills, fudders, and panic sellers but unironically is the best source for undervalued projects once you learn how to sift through the fuckery)

i'm not saying it's guaranteed otherwise everyone would do it. but if you diversify into 5-6 coins including a few bluechips, some higher risks, and a couple moonshots, you have a pretty damn good chance of making legit money over time.

no, not at all. the possible returns are exponentially higher than the money you risk, and your odds are much higher than something like winning the lottery.

it'd be more like buying a lotto ticket for $1K where you have a 30% chance of losing half your money, a 50% chance of tripling your money, a 15% chance of going 10x on your initial investment, and a 5% chance of going 50x.
