It has been a long week with this being the second 13-hour day and having it on a Friday sucks even more. It isn't the time that has been so hard, nor the work, it is just that there is so much happening simultaneously that it is wearing me down, minute by minute, task by task. On top of that, there are various family issues going on that provide additional things to negotiate.
I could do with a drink.
While I am okay at remote training, the are really exhausting at times as there is no room or possibility (in this case) to rely on participants - it is all just me talking. While everyone enjoys me talking, it is hard work, especially since this is technical training and there are a lot of details that are customer specific.
After the week I have had, I mam not really prepared for concentrating in this way and, looking at Bittrex doesn't help - if only I had some liquids. 5500 sats is a long way up on where I have bought, and not where I want to be trading into. But, I have no liquids after powering up everything the other day to cross the 100K marker. Oh well, I guess I can just enjoy the view. I am guessing that it will dump at some point - but I am not sure how long it will take to hit my buy points.
I missed buying by 30 sats two days ago, but that was 4000 satoshis ago. One of the crappiest things with having a job is watching these things as they happen and not having the time or space to do anything about them. Opportunities missed. Interestingly to me, with the current base feed price at 16 cents, if it were to stabilize at the 40 cent mark, my vote would go from 1 dollar to 2.50 or - 10 dollars a day to 25 dollars a day voting 10x100% - which would be kind of cool.
The curation for me would then be around 300 dollars worth a month, which while a long way to go - starts to help close the gap in what I am going to lose during layoff period. It would have to go up significantly more to cover the shortfall - but it is promising and makes one think about future potential. I am not going to get carried away with dreaming though, I have been here before several times in the past, and the waves come - and go.
But, when the world economy is collapsing, the finances from work are dwindling and the cost of life increasing, it is hard not to dream just a little bit - especially after 13-hour days. Getting a bit of an economic morale boost is kind of like planning that imaginary holiday - it provides a little bit of comfort - even though it is imaginary at this point.

The next turning point I imagine, will be some time in the future where I actually sell some crypto into fiat, as at that point, they become more than digital tokens as I will be able to buy something solid with it - something I can hold - something real. This is a psychological milestone only, but even with all I think and know about crypto, it is challenging to visualize it as something solid, something I actually own.
I know that this is one of the problems that hold many people from investing into it, as they do not see it as something at all. This is funny as the same people might by stocks in a company or paper telling them they own gold, and feel that they have ownership of it. Much of what we invest into is imaginary.
Now though, I am going to do something physical and go and choose a half decent bottle of red and invest into a glass of wine.
