Sharing spirit
Couple of months back I was really upset when my laptop crashed and I could not retrieve the data in my presumably still workable HDD, as the HDD enclosure which I bought through Shopee came with a faulty cable. Upon reading
Investmoatmoat's post, I came to know of the HDD adapter converter cable. So I bought it (also through Shopee for about SGD5) and tested it out today. To my pleasant surprise, it worked like a charm! The folders auto-popped up upon connection and I managed to retrieve all my precious saved photos and favourite links with only a few clicks. Phew!

Funny that it wasn't a financial post that got me fired up for this blog post. In that same instance of gratefulness, I was thinking how we may have taken for granted many valuable sharing from the blogosphere.

Pause for a moment...
Have you came across a post that saved your day?
Have you came across a post that changed one or more of your financial perspectives for the better?
Have you came across a post that has inspired you or perhaps gave you a new personal mantra?
Have you came across a post that made you find out more about what you have not known before?

Ever since I embarked on my blogging journey, I have came across many other blogs with 'selfless sharing' of wisdom and useful ideologies. I came to know of things that I didn't know, bookmarked many of the blog masterpieces that I never got sick of re-reading, internalized some of those great ideas and got inspired on some new ones. Much of the time I am just a "free-loaders" and silent reader. Sometimes I would leave a message to distill more of the bloggers' thoughts or simply as a gesture of my appreciation for their effort.
The essence of blogosphere is the sharing spirit. It may be what's fueling us bloggers years after years.
We share, we learn, we muse.
Sharing is a mutually beneficial activity. Looking from a broader perspective, with the connectivity through internet and apps, it is possible (and very convenient) for many resources to be
shared (material or not) and be
saved as well. Eg. the more sharing, the less time spent on figuring things out on our own, the less money we spend on procurement, the less material wastes get generated, the more ideas get propagated... As long as we don't get lazy.
(Erm, I am not talking communist here just in case you get mistaken.)
Ok back to the blogging community - I am not encouraging you here to swallow all the information from bloggers as the gospel truth. For instance the "dungeon masters" sharing on the other hand would be quite different (read what's dungeon masters
here), they share with agenda. I shall leave the elaboration for SMOL's further writing in his upcoming posts perhaps. Ya, so trust but remember to verify too!
If you have came across any post that got you fired up (in any positive ways like mentioned above), do post the link in the comment below.
Share! :)

I have been watching the bearish market unfold on the sideline, one that whacked almost every single asset class except for oil. Gold was not spared either as its price is sensitive to the Fed's rate hike. (Since it is mostly used as an inflation hedge in an investment portfolio, the non-yielding asset will have continued selling pressure if Fed continues its interest rate hike.) The worst of the bear-beaten lot must be cryptocurrency. Summer seems officially over and I don't know how long will this winter lasts. The massacre just got worse these few days. I was too confident and complacent last year to not harvest a fair share of profits while the sun shines. At the beginning of this year, I still DCA-ed into a few of them and thought maybe the sky was just... cloudy.. Until the hail storm comes, I have finally awoken to the fact that it is really winter now and how one catastrophe can trigger huge ripple effects. Some of my holdings with biggest price percentage decline: List
Among many great crypto articles I have read last year, I have curated three of which I felt are still relevant to date and very insightful. If you are looking to read more brain-stimulating articles, you could also check out my recommendations in the Weekend Brain Food series (mostly are non-crypto related). So here we go. Trading the metagame "Watching the winners & locating the problems in crypto can be a way of identifying potential metagames in advance." "Sometimes you can simply see that you missed the current meta and use that info to exit positions that are out of meta to preserve value , or just take a break and restore mental energy. As the meta and attention shifts to new things, capital bleeds out of previous metas. People sell the last meta they fomo’d for the next one. It’s a video game. Players want to play, they don’t want to be idle. Traders use the meta to exit/rebalance longer-term positions. If you had a big position in some token, which sudden

Quoting - "Whether it's worth taking the risks and downsides associated with FIRE comes down to your own VALUE ." My takeaway on whether FIRE is for one or not is very simple - Can FIRE bring you what you desire and enjoy in life?

What is Curve Finance? Before we dive into the tokenomic, I would recommend reading this article as a primer if you are not familiar yet with the Curve Protocol - Three minutes to take you to understand Curve Finance, the king of stablecoin trading platforms . (The article took me about 13 minutes to read instead of 3!) [I have purposely coloured the texts of various tokens such that it is easier to differentiate them as you read.] CRV is the native token of Curve Finance and distributed as reward for providing liquidity to the protocol. Now let's take a look at the brother protocol of Curve which serves a different purpose - Convex Finance. What is Convex Finance? It is a protocol that allows liquidity providers to earn trading fees and claim boosted CRV without locking up CRV themselves. Liquidity providers can receive boosted CRV and liquidity mining rewards (on Sushi) This means that one can stake their Curve LP token with ConvexFinance to get Convex LP tokens and then stake
Time bombs Everything's a time bomb when you think about it. Our life's inherently a time bomb. Stock market, crypto market are time bombs too. When we spend too much time worrying about time bombs, especially those that we have no control over, we are subjecting ourselves to unhealthy and stressful thoughts. You can make plans for the explosion time, if it makes embracing uncertainties easier. Don't live in jitters. Living the present When we don't waste time mauling the past and worrying about the future, we are present in mind for the present. We tackle the problems at hand with our best effort, then just let them roll. If something's solvable, try our hands at it again. But know when to move on. Don't go trying to lift a boulder out of the way when you can walk around it. Sometimes we delude ourselves into thinking there are no choices out there. Like you look at a tree and think it is the forest. You haven't probably haven't seen enough trees. The

That was really a saver! And cost only a small amount to fix.
ReplyDelete"We share, we learn, we muse." :))
Hi 30YearOldInvestor,
DeleteYes! Some things we thought are expensive to fix / troubleshoot actually have solutions that are simple and cheap. With some learning, now I should be able to troubleshoot whether it's ram, HDD or motherboard problem without going to an IT fixer, should a laptop crash. Hehe
Forgot to kudos the you-tubers too. These days I also learnt many things from the vloggers.
:P
Even more 1 to 1 private email messages or 1 to 1 kopi sessions sharing not known publicly. That is sharing without commercially vested ok interests
ReplyDeleteHi Uncle8888,
DeleteI will accumulate and list all my questions to 请教 then ask you out for kopi session someday ok?
Hehe
