Morning hive community, Have you guys seen the news recently? everything is in free fall, markets dumping, the world hanging on edge waiting to see if a war will break out, a war that could lead to another world war.
Think about it? Russia is ready to invade Ukraine and on the other side, we have China thinking that Taiwan would look nice on their map. It wouldn't be a leap to assume that they are currently working together, both having a communist anti-west government.
But I don't want to focus on that if I'm honest, it's a bit depressing and hopefully, the whole thing just gets averted. how would I know though? I'm just an unemployed guy with no higher education living with my parents.
That's not too bad in these troubling times, to be honest though. getting to spend time with my family and not having to worry about rent and stuff like that yet. There's no public transport here so it's hard for me to get a job without a drivers licence. I am working on getting it, though it just might take some time.
Until then I'm just going to be working on what I can with what I've got. Like this daily post. Even if nobody reads it, Thanks to 
Anyway, how's everyone's day been? have you lost money? gained? or have you disconnected from the market to focus on other things? If so what are you focusing on now? How's it going?
With this recent drop, it's looking less and less like ill be able to do my plan for outlining my trades any time soon, But as soon as I get a chunk of change in my account ill move it over and start the series. But until then I'll just use this section to share my thoughts on it. I'm not a good trader and my timing is horrible but I'm learning and getting better. I need to change my strategy and that's just the way it goes.
I need clear goals and a good idea of when to take profits and how to take them. I'm working on it and have started to form an idea. I think so far my biggest mistake has been putting too much into NFTs without actually selling any or turning a profit. Hopefully soon at least one of them will sell. I've got an airdrop from one of my mints coming up soon so let's see what I get out of it. It's just a lot of waiting with all of this.
I need to be more aggressive both in my trading and in my taking profits to grow my account. What do people think is a good starting balance and end goal for this challenge. I was originally thinking of doing a starting balance of between 500 and 1000 USD with a goal of 10x the portfolio as best as I can. I'll keep my trading account at the initial balance taking profits in 100-500 dollar batches, sending it back to my Ancor account to accumulate interest. but perhaps people here have some suggestions so please give me some feedback as it would be much appreciated.
In terms of my personal projects, I have been spending a lot of time researching theory and methodology to properly learn the basics of 3D modelling. It's such a complex thing with so many different levels especially if you're using Blender. Idk if any of you have ever used it but for those that have you know what I mean when I say there's a long learning curve. I'm also waiting for a proper PC because my piece of shit laptop is so old that it is torture to do anything that's even slightly complex. Oh well still good to practice.
My community is about to close its first vote and I'm interested to see how it turns out. So far we haven't had a ton of votes and the engagement has been low which has been a bit disappointing but I push on. I think the first airdrop and some actually visible utility will really bring people to it and get them to engage so that will be nice.
In my other project, I've been doing what I can but a lot of it is out of my control which is really annoying, there's nothing I can do but wait though. There isn't a ton of activity ether which is also a bit disappointing but I'm trying and it is what it is.
Finally, I did a longer-form piece, I'm starting to see that as I go it will get longer and longer as I build on it. I'm sure that when I start adding some images of my trades as well as covering each of them will add a lot more to it. The same once I can finally start sharing more about the projects I'm working on. Anyway, I'm sure that posts can get too long so ill be off now but enjoy your day everyone.
