Exactly

Most people here seem to forget there are more regular people just trying to live that don't have the resources or skills to provide enough value to be able to afford to stack.

Like myself.

After having to sell my stack for the 3rd time, just to be able to pay basic bills like housing and electric, it's gotten to the point of why even bother anymore....

Add in the fact government and corporations are front running the general public on stacking while also controlling our ability to stack ourselves....

And you see that bitcoin has failed and just become another psyop.

I get what you're saying man.

It's hard to stack if you're working low salary jobs..

ภ๏รtг๏ภคยt 9mo ago

The worst part is asking for help(like i have been the whole 2.5yrs ive been on nostr), then basically getting told to watch YouTube videos, use Google, and Ai as the help offered...

All of which I've tried.

Nobody has the time to pass down and teach a skill anymore.

And I think this is why America is shit now a days with nothing but low values losers like myself.

Gave you some sats for zapping.

And I could teach you how to make soap if you want..

ภ๏รtг๏ภคยt 9mo ago

Making soap is oil, essential oils, lye and time.

I know how to do a million things...

Grow weed, sew, beekeep, fender repair, small engine repair, roofing, flooring, drywall, concrete, soap, knitting, soldering, welding, programming welding robots, budgeting, HTML, CSS, some Javascript, vibe coding, cannabis breeding, I can make my own vape juice, I know how to run a full Erickson line to make m&ms, hand panning, rolling cannabis cigars(thai sticks)... and I could go on forever...

Problem is i can't afford the supplies or afford the time to make anything actually work, and also afford to live a basic life at the same time.

I've looked for better paying jobs with what I can do, with no luck in a 65 mile radius and I can't afford to move either. I've saved over $5k in bitcoin 3 times just for something to come up that requires selling it all at once or all of it over time...

It's always 3 steps forward and 5 steps back.

I'm tired of this dance.... To the point I don't want to be here anymore because I can't even fathom what light at the end of the tunnel even looks like anymore...

If I could afford to leave the us with my g/f and son, I'd be on the next flight.

If I had enough, I'd even renounce my citizenship after setting in somewhere...

The other places are variations of the same, I've lived in a few.

My only advice is to keep generating options. Life is like Bitcoin mining, you might have to grind for years with the shitty equipment you started with before you find a block while you watch others find a block every month or year with theirs. But if you turn off your miners altogether then you stop generating possibilities.

You already found one block with your family, there's another freebie in God should you want to find it, then keep going and with one more block and you'll be in the perfect position.

ภ๏รtг๏ภคยt 9mo ago

Heard loud and clear. 🫡

God has given me many blessing thus far, and all I can tell myself is that he only gives the toughest battles to his strongest warriors, and I just need keep going with what I've got.

Hence, why I'm still here today using the tools I've got. Digging for that next block...

The rain only lasted 40days and nights, not forever. 💜🫂

Stacking Functions 9mo ago

I'm sure you're tired of getting advice from random people but I have been where you are and have a few ideas for you..

Any way possible start getting multiple streams of income coming in, not just one job. If possible don't have a job at all, just figure out how to use your numerous skills to provide value for someone else that will happily pay you.

Start small doing things that don't require a lot of up front cost. For me that was landscaping and handyman work. Give your cards to a place that sells things to that clientele and figure out what the bigger companies aren't willing to do for them.

For me that was planting one tree- the bigger companies want bigger jobs for their crews- as a result they always pass on those jobs. So people constantly call me to plant one tree, which I happily do- I do a bunch in a day and retain probably 50% of those clients for bigger future projects.

Also consider working with local farms and ranches- I've done sales at the farmers market for a few farms near me for money and barter for high quality food for the family. Plus you get to network and meet great people who may be interested in your other hustles

The biggest thing is getting clear on what you actually want your life to look like and focus on that. Think about that all day if necessary. Like you've already said, be thankful for the things you have and you'll notice those things and more will all grow.

I could say a lot more but I'll leave it at that.

Wish you well man!

ภ๏รtг๏ภคยt 9mo ago

Thank you! More advice the better. I know I'm not al9ne out here! 🫂💜

Hodl Harry 9mo ago

I feel you man. I really do.

I also know a lot of things that I could do, but I also don't have the means or time to pursue it properly..

The only thing I can recommend for now is to lower your expenses even more

(if possible) I know this is difficult if you have a gf/wife and a child..

I'm rooting for you man 💪 I can tell you're not a dumbass and I'm sure you can find some sort of solution.

ภ๏รtг๏ภคยt 9mo ago

Might change my name to Dory.

Just keep swimming.

Some drift woods gotta be around somewhere I can lean on for a bit.

But I'll never find it if I give up.
