Day 1

in #young7 years ago

Hey!

I'm a 20 year old trying to find he's place in life. Have you been there? So you know how it must feel. So much energy, and enthusiasm but perhaps a little too much of impatience. Everything feels like it's gotta come quick. Funny thing, I don't even consider myself that type of person but often find myself frustrated with how things are going. The hunger to escape the rat race must be real I guess...

Part of my master plan to escape it is (as most people probably got here in the first place) through trading cryptocurrencies. Given the July, August rallies of Bitcoin, I couldn't keep myself out of the action 'What is this thing? How does it work' - I asked myself later to find out it's power and how I believe it's going to replace currency as we know it. Everything is becoming digital these days, plus when considering the literal war on cash that has been happening over the past decades you don't have to be a rocket scientist (funny because I'm studying to become one) to spot this trend.

I don't know how your personal experience has been, but when I tell my friends about crypto, they seem scared of it. And I understand; change is not something that people embrace at first. I either get that, or they can't see the pattern which I explained above which provides a more logical argument to adopt this new phenomenon. Also, it's not worth their attention because no one else is doing it but we all know that it takes fucking guts to stand out in a crowd so it sort of excites me as an early adopter that I came across this new 'gold mine'. Opportunity is always there, you just have to want it bad enough.

With that thought in mind I'll end today's post. Expect more and better quality content.
Keep Over It,

Sort:  

I get you, man.

I have been there. I am a little less than twice your age, and I remember being at a Boy Scout meeting, and one of the Scoutmaster's sons comes up to me and says, "Yahoo went public today." My response was the highly intellectual, "What what did who now?"

Years later I was training up for a deployment to Afghanistan when Google was getting ready to have their IPO, and I KNEW it was going to be huge because there was not and still isn't a realistic competitor for their search engine, but my brokerage wouldn't let me invest if they didn't have a number they could reach me at.

Word of advice: You will inevitably screw up. Take your lumps and learn from them. Best of luck!

I'm more than ready to fail. It's the law of averages: the more you try, the more likely you'll find something that succeeds. But again, patience becomes key in this marathon and showing up is half of the battle.
Hope you have a good day :)
