I have always wanted to learn how to diversify my finances and I wish I had known about cryptocurrency earlier. I also need to constantly keep myself up to date or I will end up following the traditional footsteps of my parents where the goal is to work all my life and earn a modest living and be contented. As much as I love stability, that strategy will no longer work as my country's currency is getting worse with time. It is also worrisome that the country leaders are obviously picking sides with the recent ongoing war elsewhere. I think war is war and it is never good to encourage war by picking sides besides the ones who are suffering are the commoners. It really must be unlucky to be born into a country that is constantly at war. I try to imagine what would life be like in those countries and I shudder to think that their daily goal is to stay alive or maybe to die faster so as not to suffer? Anyway, I just hope my country can stay out of unnecessary trouble and reflect on how bad the country is becoming.
Today I learned a new term called "spot" trading. Basically, it involves buying digital currency at a lower price to sell it off at a higher price and to make a profit from the price difference. Sadly, I have missed the boat because the famous "Bitcoin" has now increased so much in price that it is not worth buying it now. There goes that feeling of "if only I had known". Actually, I have been overly protected by my dear parents that my exposure to the outside world is very limited and so is my knowledge about many things. To simplify, I am just not street-smart and would likely be eliminated from society if all my support system is being taken away from me. I never ever thought about the importance of making money until this year when I was no longer under my parents' protective wings and started my own life with my other half. I think I have been free-loading my family for so long that I have no understanding of the value of money.
Observing the people around me at work, I found that most people seemed to have a lot of knowledge of trading and cryptocurrency. I think I must have been asleep for the last decade for not knowing all this. I am also in a dilemma now with all this new knowledge as I am not sure if should I start taking action now or gain more knowledge first before I venture into new things. I am also trying my best not to be easily influenced by my better half who has no personal results to show me but has introduced me to his source of knowledge which consist of online gurus. I initially wanted to prove him wrong with his trusting nature and have spent a small sum in an "algo bot trading". Maybe I got lucky as somehow it is making a profit. I have promised myself a 6 months trial and if it doesn't work I am not going to try it out anymore. According to the guru we need at least 3 months to see results and the timing of connecting to the bots plays a role too. I am just a little jittery about making investments with risks as all my life I have been playing it very safe by keeping my income in fix deposits. The returns are really poor but at least it is guaranteed.
Anyway, I am hoping that better things will head my way as next year is a crucial year for me to pass my exams and move on with life. It is very comforting to know that next year will be a good year for those who have the following Chinese zodiacs: pig, snake, and cow in descending order. These zodiacs will have lots of luck in wealth, careers, and relationships. The pig has lucky stars to overcome all the unlucky stars, and the snake may have health issues but it can be mitigated by donating blood/ getting its blood drawn for a lab test or scheduling an elective surgery that has been long postponed and the cow needs to learn to appreciate the things it has. So these 3 zodiacs better take the opportunity to shine next year! Also, the world will become more of a virtual place with artificial intelligence, lab-generated meat, aesthetically enhanced humans, digital money, etc. Master also mentioned that packaging is important. For those doing business, never compromise on your packaging or branding, and as for individuals, we must learn to present our external appearance well. I am quite excited to learn how to package myself as I do not really care much about appearance regularly (in terms of this I think Icy will do a good job).
Okay that's all for now. I am currently hoping for a lot of strength to finish my thesis's second write-up. The first write-up had so many corrections and rejections that I felt quite dejected and was in denial. Like it or not I still need to complete it so I shall give myself some pressure to finish it by the next 7 days! I can do it!
