What's it like to be 'in it'?

What is it to be 'in it,' right? To be doing the work?

I'll tell you what it's like for me: frustrating, almost infuriatingly so.

You see me produce reports and analyze data?

Producing my daily reports takes ALL DAY. That's only so I can analyze...11 blockchains-worth of data!


"Collect data; create reports; analyze blockchains."

nbd, right?

The first two start at 8 am, sharp, and put me past 9 pm.

That's AFTER all the automation I've entailed into these workflows.

How does that show up for me?

Well, yesterday, at 2 am, I had only just completed my (overarching) Blockaverse report AND ONLY 1/11 blockchain report, ... for @Cardano.

THAT'S ONLY IF EVERYTHING IS STATUS QUO?

$arbLUNA no longer profitable? That monkey wrench sets me back a day.

So, I work all day, every day, just to fall behind by 10 blockchain reports.

Then there's today.

Today is June 1st.

That means, on top of all that, I have my monthly reports, including @TeamKujira PnL report, AND my year-to-date report.





Where does this leave me with regards to trades and pursuing opportunities? ... you know: the actual work that actually makes me money so I can actually improve my lot to dig myself out of debt and out of my dependency on my job-situation?

Unfortunately, I can't even do most.

I'd like to 

  • create protocols around each EMA20 pivot, like ETH/BTC, ADA/SNEK, AVAX/QI, OP/ETH, ATOM/OSMO, MNTA/KUJI, LUNA/ROAR, ... to name of the few of the FIFTY-ONE EMA20s I UPDATE DAILY!
  • create @warp_protocol jobs
  • execute @Manta_DAO trades via REST endpoint

but wen?

None of the above comes for free.

I must learn HOW to do those things, then I must BUIDL, TEST, then DEPLOY infrastructure to pipeline those processes.

None of that comes for free.

In a day that starts at 8 am sharp and ends after 2 am when I fall asleep at my keyboard.

... Oh, and I have a 9-to-5 full-time job, where I'm the director of research and development, so I'm submitting proposals on multi-million dollar contracts that I dream up, from scratch, then write up, in full, because nobody else understands knowledge engineering like I do.

That not only makes me unfireable while I'm useful to them, but it makes me a "geophf, can you fly to St. Louis, Missouri, this week to present your plan to an Air Force colonel?"-asset to them.

That's over and above my full-time requirement to be 100% on-work at-work to our primary customer.

"What's it like to be 'in it'?" is the question I started with.

Frustrating: infuriatingly so.

If I had myself cloned and fully-functional, today, three times over,...I wouldn't even be able to play catch-up. I'd be playing, 'keep this boat from sinking' with a bucket and swab.
