So yesterday there was an NFT mint on twitter, by this guy called JACK BUTCHER, he's a big NFT guy from the US, and mint price was about $8, but you needed to do this by sending the 8$ through XMONEY on Twitter (which is only open to US citizens).
So I decided to even forget about the mint because even though I know a few Hive users from the US, I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable by asking them to help. Woke up this morning and saw that some people even made close to $2000 from this NFT mint, and just like that it killed my morale, did it make me sad? Absolutely.
I wasn't just hurt, it was literal free money that could have been made. However, if there's something I have come to learn. It's the fact that you definitely need to have some type of motion, maybe share a few fake screenshots of some fake money, and this can probably buy you attention.
I understand that attention is currency and most times you need to buy it by lying or sharing fake stuffs, and it'll be definitely hard to get it, if of course you don't have anything to actually show for it.
But honestly, I got tired of asking for help, because it's honestly not worth it anymore. I pitched a form of business idea to someone recently and to think that we were close and this would be honestly easy, but no, they just blatantly refused. I was certain we were going to make some money if what I pitched to them actually worked.
There's a 90% opportunity that we were going to make good money with that opportunity, maybe buy hundreds of thousands of Hive after that, and then make some decent money.
I'm always kind of confident, because the last person I pitched a CRAZY idea to, on twitter made over $50,000 (even though the person scammed me of most of the money), and only paid me like $9000 (which got hacked from my wallet).
I've got a lot of partnership concepts or ideas that could print good money, and honestly when I think about how I need to literally beg for someone close in our Hive Community to see what I am pitching to them, then it just straight up makes me sad. Because this is money on the table that could be made.
Again, I think, perhaps it's trust, maybe it's trust issue, but then again, it's not. I mean if there's one thing unique about Hive it's the fact that you can literally trust over 95% of people here. This is something you can never get anywhere on the internet.
I mean I've bought things from people here, tradable stuffs with them, with no issues of things like "I hope they're not gonna scam me" it's so deep that people here get married to themselves, and other stuff.
I've been here for 9 years my self, and all I'm just looking to do is to survive, build partnership that benefits any all parties, and we can win beyond the "content buddies" that Hive as a platform makes us. I mean, it shouldn't be that hard, should it? But sadly, of course it's hard.
One thing that makes it sadder is being stuck in one of the most craziest countries in the world, living with one of life's most lethal genetic conditions, and even though this is the case, I still have business ideas that can scale to multiple figures only if my internet friends (i.e Hive friends) can just lend a hand and build the dream with me.
For a while, I've decided to bottle it up and just let it go, but missing out on a mint where I could have earned anything from 100$ to 2000$ (which of course we get to share the proceeds)
was just the height of it for me. The one of a couple of days ago was even more painful: texted someone to help with something that was honestly really easy, and I don't even want to talk about the outcome.
Again, it boils down to not having enough motion, as I said earlier. Perhaps maybe if I flexed fake screenshots of figures then maybe I could get easier help.
Again, recently the cost of my medical treatments have skyrocketed lately, plus a lot of other responsibilities too, and I probably wouldn't be asking. Plus, coupled with a lot of mistakes I've made with the crypto market. So... Maybe a man with his back on his wall is always desperate, and I try to just carry my burdens alone as always, but it's become a lot lately... That I've decided to ask publicly for help.
So that's it. Rant Done!...
If maybe my rant touched you, and you're willing to help, just let me know in the comments..
It's probably shameful to always ask, but that's the point, "getting that one help, that makes sure you don't need another one ever again....
I'm currently sick at the moment..
