A Day of Decisions and Risk
Today the 9th of April, 2025, was about writing to you about yesterday’s agenda; choices and action. I spent hours diving into research and crypto trading, trying to make sense of where I stand and where I am headed.
I woke up at 7:30am, stretched out, did simple beginner plunks on the floor for 7 minutes and sat knee high to plan my day. After my morning routine as in brushing my teeth, cleansing my face and preparing my PC area, I prepared a bit for my current 9-5 job that I start at 4pm daily. I took a shower and came straight to this laptop to document how yesterday went for me.
The Search for a New Life in Georgia
If you read my first post, I decided to spend 3 hours a day for this $1,000 to $1M journey. I started the day’s task by researching Georgia as a potential new home. I wanted to see if it could be the right fit for me, considering my work, lifestyle and future plans. I explored the job market, focusing on digital and remote opportunities which seem to be on the rise there. The country’s economy appears stable and there’s a growing community of remote workers and entrepreneurs - exactly what I need.
The Climate is manageable, with mild winters and warm summers. It is important to research on factors that matter to you when moving to a new country. Georgia’s temperate conditions look promising.
Food is another big factor, and Georgia doesn’t disappoint. The blend of Eastern European and Mediterranean flavours sounds like something I could easily get into. I also joined a Facebook group for expats, where I found an accommodation agency that could help with finding a place. It’s good to know there is support system in place for newcomers.
One surprising detail: I found that a good number of people from my nationality already live in Georgia. It looks like there are job opportunities and a community there for people like me. While I’m still weighing my options, Georgia seems like it could be a solid choice. Largely because of their digital world, freedom and climate.
Crypto Futures Trading: A Small Attempt
Next, I spent time in the crypto markets. Well, on this journey, I would like to show you how I am liberating myself after losing every dime I have worked over 20 years for, except a balance of $1,000. I have started by using what I am good at to turn this balance into a million. If you resonate, let’s do this challenge together. I love to write, have little knowledge in crypto trading, business development, public speaking and voiceovers.
back to crypto trading. This is no crypto advice and guarantee success but I risked $6 out of my $1,000 life savings to test both short and long positions while I risked a margin of $12, just so I don’t get liquidated early. If you are a newbie in trading, long means buy, because you expect prices to rise. Short means sell because you expect prices to fall. If the market works in your favour, you win both ways.
I kept things small but focused, hoping to gain insight into how the market was moving. I went short after reading a little into the analysis and wicks of the chart. 5 minutes into trading, I noticed I could lose my $6 if I hadn’t risked a little more. So I risked additional $5 making the investment $11 and margin $13. all together $24. I leveraged at 125%. Oh yes! before you leverage that high, you must have been prepared to lose your investments and still be ok losing or you must have been overly sure you’ll win. Also in times like in my situation, I have decided not to trade any new or presale cryptos. It is better for me to look into stable coins that has at least some sort of predictable behaviour. I have chose Bitcoin, Solana and Ethereum for this journey of mine in the area of crypto trading.
The above scenario almost got me giving up. At this point I had lost 50.46% from the $11 investments, but I saw potential in the 5-minute time frame so held on.
10 minutes after I made some gains of $6.01 that’s 43.37%. Don’t even imagine how much I would have made if I had invested all $1,000 since I have no time. It doesn’t work like that. Robots know when you put in more money, somehow it turns against you. Slow and steady are the pillars of this crypto journey I am embarking on. Crypto market is volatile, and these small trades help me refine my strategies.
I recorded my trades to track the process, and while I’m still getting used to the rhythm both longing and shorting, yesterday was a reminder of how easy it is to lose focus and fall into over-trading. I need to be more disciplined, as the risks are always present.
Reflecting on the Day
I spent over 3 hours researching my relocation options and trading. It wasn’t an easy day, but it was a productive one. Both decisions-relocation and trading are critical and I’m making sure to stay grounded. There’s no rush, although the clock is ticking and every move counts. This is the reality, and I’m learning from every step I take.
