All my exit opps have been officially frozen until further notice 😭 this was supposed to be my year. I am beyond burnt out. All companies I see still hiring want engineers/highly technical. I’m so sad

I dream of one, bright sunny day
Upon the bench, unassigned I lay
They have a role, “are you free?” they say
Not that client, my tone so sad
The next 6 months, will be so bad

Invest by MarketCap Crypto Strategy
Ok all letme know what you think of this strategy....its sad but the top 50 S&P stocks hav outperformed every single hedge fund out there managed by impressive Ivy League Managers. (I say lets hang these useless financial wizard banksters)..Follow this same line of thinking and apply to Cryptos...I suspect some survival of the fittest theory working here. ....All you have to do is invest in the top 10 crypto currencies by Market Cap and hold your position for short to mid term. Long term ie 5 to 10 years, I feel this market will mature and all the bubbles will deflate. To see top ten either go to Cryptomarketcap or go install the Crypto Tracker app from play store...As of 12/26/17... Top Cryptos by market cap:1. BTC. 2.ETH 3.Btc cash 4. Ripple xrp 5.LTC 6.
