Learning a digital skill is the best investment. Tuesday again and here we are with our phones, grinding when we can be doing other things, but we choose to be here again, I have been seeing articles on how the crypto market is bleeding, and a lot of people aren't happy about it, including me though I don't like to look at the chart because I might just collapse at anywhere I am, haha, cryptocurrency is not for the weak at all, I recently came across a video that @Amazing-grace sent to the group chat, about a guy that was told to buy a certain coin because the coin was pumping, immediately he bought it, there was a big dip and half of his money dipped with the dip, he immediately messaged the person that told him to buy it that he's not understanding what he's seeing, is this how the coin used to rise? If the both of us don't d!e today, we won't d!e again, lol.  The same event happened to my brother last year, someone told him to buy the dip and the person did convince him to buy Shiba Inu as of then when Elon musk was promoting it, immediately he bought about 40$ worth of Shiba Inu, not up to a week, it dipped so hard and his money was remaining 4$ in his wallet, called me to ask if it is like this the cryptocurrency is, I told him yes, sometimes and he said he doesn't want to do again, haha, immediately he gave up on cryptocurrency, though he didn't sell the coin, he just kept it there until it pumps, haha.  The crypto market is red this period and it's affecting a lot of people by the day, especially some of us that do hodl and some of us that want to sell so we can use it to take care of our needs and wants, I think I will stop here since I don't know much about trading except for hodl.  The strike in a public university is still ongoing, while so many are sad about it, some are making use of the opportunity to get better in their skill so won't end up carrying their portfolio from office to office seeking jobs, someone like @Kushyzee that is always planning head and he was kind of okay with the strike though, haha, I called him the Jonah of it all because he feels like it will give him time to get better with his skills which is true.  Having a skill is very good, especially in the digital world, you can just use do it from the comfort of your home, digital skills have more benefits and the major things it requires are good gadgets, a productive brain that is creative, and of course a healthy body, especially your hands, haha.  I have been doing graphic designs for some time now and I do get better as time goes on, I didn't enroll in any class to be thought, I just needed the zeal which came in a form of hunger, haha, I guess I have shared this story so many times, well, I believe the zeal is still in me but taking a nap for now, haha and I don't think she's ready to wake up now, at least there's a reason she's still sleeping though.  There are so many benefits of having a skill and I will only talk about a few which is, you can be a freelancer by being your boss and you don't have to expect a fixed amount every month, for me I prefer being a freelancer and running gigs as my boss because it will also give me a lot of time for myself and to attended other things, not that I will just be working from Monday to Friday and be getting paid monthly. The other one is you won't have a fixed amount you will be getting monthly, you won't have to wait till month end to get a paycheck as I have stated above, because every day can be your payday and you earn what people earn for a month, you don't have to be sweating for your money every day and be working under the heat of the sun because you want to prove to yourself that you can do hard labor, life doesn't have to be hard before you eat, digital skills will change your mentality.  I was broke for like a week now, when I say completely, I mean my total networth wasn't up to 1$, I used one app to borrow money to subscribe for the main time and the payment is due, they have been disturbing me since last week, haha, though the money I am owing them is almost 10$, I promised to pay them this week, so today one of my contacts messaged me about his music and he's planning to release an EP soon, the person that did his cover art for the song he's about to drop didn't do it well (though I use to be not too good too I'm improving) so I told him that I should do it and he said he has already given the blogger to post it, it was fine by me, then now said that I should do his EP cover, we talked about price and we settle it at 20$ which he sent 10$ to me this evening and I just used it to hold body first, then when I'm done with the job, he will send the remaining 10$ and I will use it to pay the company I borrowed money from, at least now I have 10$ to lean on for the main time, haha.

This is one of the advantages of having a digital skill, now if for instance, I didn't have any digital skill, this money won't have come, I might just be at home and be saying “God when” and be hoping for a manner to fall from heaven, you don't put a corn seed in a glass without soil and water it for it to grow so you can eat the harvest, you need to put it in soil, then water it, even the God said, “I will bless the work of your hand” that alone says it all about having a digital skill.  Thanks for reading and do have a beautiful Wednesday ahead. **Lead image source** https://pixabay.com/images/id-3371153/ 10-05-2022
