A humorous take on the daily life of a Crypto enthusiast/Blockchain technologist

in #blockchain6 years ago (edited)

8 am - Wake up - Check CoinMarketCap - Everything in red - "I should buy today"

9 am - Start writing technical document for a client's groundbreaking, earth-shattering, never-before, highly centralized crypto exchange

9:15 am - Complete one paragraph - People around start talking about Ripple and XRP - Join conversation - Argue until victory is achieved.

10:30 am - Get back to writing - EOS price starts crashing - Time to buy - Open Binance app - Everything in red - "Not time yet" - Close Binance app - Start writing again.

11:00 am - Finished writing one page - Boss calls in for a meeting - Requirement changed! - Client wants decentralized fish token marketplace - Throws away all the work.

11:15 am - Need to research about fish tokens - Search on Google - Open CoinDesk article about "Supply chain tracking of tuna on IBM Hyperledger." - Start researching IBM Hyperledger - Too complicated - Start watching tutorial videos - Give up - Get back to writing

12 pm - LUNCH! Tuna sandwich with crypto colleagues. Discuss prices, dwindling portfolio valuations, and hail crypto, and bash traditional financial systems in a noisy restaurant full of bankers

1:30 pm - Continue writing - EOS at all time low - Time to buy - Open Binance app - "Damn not enough Bitcoin balance" - Close Binance app - Continue writing

2 pm - Finished writing one-page - Requirements changed! - Client wants Fish ICO - Throw away everything - Start figuring out token economics - Write first line of whitepaper

3 pm - Go to youtube for guidance - Get distracted - Start watching videos about Oroboros proof of stake in Cardano - Fall asleep watching video

3:15 pm - Wake up to 15 LinkedIn message invitations to the mega Blockchain event - BLOCK('insert random noun') ('insert present year') ('insert expensive slogan') where ticket prices start from $5000 for ('insert cheap metal name') sponsorship and an 80% discount with promo code SLIGHTLYSKETCHY123

5 pm - Pointlessly float through LinkedIn - Then Medium - Then Hackernoon - Then Reddit - "Blockchain is the future!" - "ICO Moons!" - "Airdrops!" - "When LAMBO?!" - "Decentralized Uber for laundry!" - "250,000 transactions per second!" - "SCAM" - "CRASH" - "HACK" - "SCALING" - "JP MORGAN" - "BUBBLE" - "Blockchain is a lie!"

7 pm - Close laptop - Topup Bitcoin in Binance - Go home

9 pm - More Youtube - More news - More fancy infographics - More LinkedIn bashing - More whitepapers, yellow papers, orange papers - Suddenly recall EOS crashing

10 pm - Open Binance - EOS goes to the MOON - 90% in last 2 hours - Go to sleep in sadness

I love it! So much of this rings true and I'm not even a developer. You nailed the crypto world, for better and for worse.

Quite funny and interesting life of blockchain enthusiast or developers.

Everything needs effort and consistency! If this is your passion, keep going forward!!!
