Wanted to create a thread to talk about some stuff that's been on my mind recently..

Maybe it's things some of you have noticed, maybe not..

If you don't want to hear personal thoughts & just want that #crypto pill.. Then move on & don't read

Not for you, my guy 👍

1/

We are all here for the opportunity to change our lives.. Whether that's investing over a long period of time to better our personal circumstances..

Or trading to try and maximize opportunities to compound those gains..

The simple fact is.. we are all here for money

2/

Some people layer in other goals on top of that..

Whether its developing their own technologies to change the world.. or growing communities to help their fellow person..

I decided to go the latter due to fact

1. I can't code for shit..
2. I have a creative itch

3/

That itch is what led me to creating content..

I genuinely enjoy it & I love the fact it helps others by simply making bitesize content that may cause them to think differently or dig a bit deeper is amazing..

Its rewarding and has been for many years now

4/

But you should only do what you enjoy & when its fun..

And that leads me to today

In all honesty, I'm losing the drive to want to continue any of this, whether it be creating content or simply be as involved in the #crypto space..

May be a shock for some, not to others

5/

Maybe that's showing in my content or tweets, I honestly don't know tbh..

But I think it's only fair to try & communicate to you guys what I've been toiling with internally

Like I said.. we are all here to better our circumstances..

And what do we all desire? Yep.. money💰

6/

We all want that sweet cheddar..

Because it allows us to change the path we are currently on

I never wanted money to simply have money.. fuck that

I wanted time.. and money buys my time back to be with my family

7/

Luckily, I've made some great investing decisions over the past few years.. which has allowed me to do so

I've ditched the soul-draining 9-5 world & managed to buy my time back through my ultimate goal.. one I feel we should all be striving for..

Passive Income ✅

8/

In the beginning, it was to acquire property..

Earn rental income & live an easier life..

Next.. it was to run an Overledger Gateway & earn passively through the traffic flowing through..

Then I noticed a huge opportunity emerging through a new project.. $ZCX

9/

After extensive research..

It became very clear just by simply acquiring as much $ZCX as I could and staking it through #DMAS.. I could live that passive dream in the best way possible through huge real-time rewards

So that's what I did.. I spent most of 2021 accumulating

10/

So, that was the goal..

To better my current situation ✅
To set up large passive income revenue streams ✅

Which meant.. I had to ask myself, what's next?

What would be the point of continuing to operate in this exciting, yet emotional & wonderful hell that is #crypto

11/

Well.. that's something I've been struggling with

I no longer wake up with that desire to jump on the PC & try to gain that edge through extensive research.

I'd rather watch a series with my wife or play a game with my daughter..

Because that was the goal all along.. Time

12/

The question I kept asking myself was.. "Should I stop?"

Just live an easier life & re-treat with my investing as a solitary pursuit

But there was one thing that's eating at me.. something I've been realizing more & more recently..

This content has not been about me..

13/

The content is for others

I honestly couldn't tell you how many incredible messages I've had from people.. thanking me for "changing their lives"

It's weird.. because I genuinely don't see it that way at all

But to others, they've gained value through this content

14/

Then you begin to realize you've been thinking selfishly..

MY situation & MY time..

Well, what about others? the people who this content is for..

Many are not fortunate enough to have reached their goals yet & are actively in the struggle..

This content matters to them

15/

If by sharing an opinion or doing some research can help others to change their lives..

Then, it's worth pursuing

As that was the initial sub-goal.. to help your fellow person out of the pits and pay it forward as life is fucking hard & it's designed that way

16/

"Influencers" .. I hate that word

Some are selfish & operate for their own gain

Others are not & genuinely help others through content or charity..

@IAMLLUCIANA for example with his wonderful messages & donations for the people of Venezuala..

He is making a difference

17/

I could name other names for days..

@vortexics82, @_RN03xx_ etc etc

These are people who do not act selfishly.. they help those who need it

And that's the whole point..

Help, guidance & education ✅

18/

There are others who are not so genuine..

Something I've been thinking a lot about recently

You can only trust people in this space as much as you can anyone on the internet..

No matter how friendly they seem..

There be predators here

19/

It pays to be extra vigilant..

I know for a fact, there are people using me for my skills.. my network.. my name

Even though, they act in your best interest.. I understand they're not..

You are a pawn to their goals and they WILL use you

20/

Why am I saying this?

"Measure twice & cut once"

Be absolutely sure what you are doing & why you are doing it.. There is no such thing as trust on the internet, so operate in that way

Even me.. How can you trust me if you don't truly know me?

You can't ❌

21/

I understand the situation & I see what they are doing..

Therefore.. it's to my advantage & there will be no surprises.

Like I said.. there be predators 🦈

No matter how much they act like your "family"

22/

Yet..

That shouldn't detract you or others from trying to pay it forward

Which is what I will be doing going forward.. just as I always have.

The week off helped me think clearly & how to operate moving forward

23/

I used to love everything about this space..

Recently, it's become a tedious, check-listing job

Now, it's time to re-kindle that love & find the fun again

Because if you're not having fun.. there is no point

24/

So I will be tweeting more sporadically..

There will be more breaks..

Content will be focused on quality than quantity..

I will be engaging more personally..

Outlets like YouTube will be used more..

I appreciate all of you.. & I needed you to know that is my own rambling way
