Setting Up the Pipes (and Watching BTC Twitch)
It’s been a foundational week—slow on flashy wins, heavy on the backend moves.
I’ve been laying the infrastructure for the income stack I want to build quietly, efficiently, and anonymously. No fanfare. Just bricks being laid.
What I Did
Created a Stripe account – it’s essential for collecting payments if I want to sell anything in USD.
Set up Payoneer – it’s not yet linked to Stripe, but once it is, I’ll have a functional pipeline for international payouts. One more piece in place.
Started an Etsy storefront – because low startup costs matter when you’re flipping $5 into $5,000, then into $50,000. Etsy lets me test product-market fit with almost no friction. The actual store setup cost is just a few bucks.
Nothing is launched yet. But the pipes are being built.
Crypto Watch: Why I Didn’t Trade
I stared at the charts, sure. But the market whispered “wait.”
Here’s what I saw on BTC/USDT, across the micro timeframes (1min to 1h):
Price was hovering around 85,236–85,320, trying to decide whether it wanted to climb or crash. Resistance sat near 85,400–85,500, and support around 84,800–85,000.
Bollinger Bands gave a bit of a playbook:
Upper Band: ~85,372–85,406
Middle Band: ~84,750–85,277
Lower Band: ~84,094–85,182
Order book told its own story:
Heavy sell pressure: saw a 581.57K USDT sell wall at 85,236.7
Fragmented, weaker buys around 170–426 USDT
Leverage: I’m running 125x—yes, it’s insane, but that’s the experiment. Still, no reason to throw a trade into a neutral chop zone.
TL;DR on Trading:
Buy if price holds above 85,000 with momentum toward 85,400–85,500
Sell if it breaks below 84,800 with no support bounce
For now? Sit and wait. (Which is an underrated skill in trading.)
The Bigger Move: Georgia?
Didn’t dig into it this week. But the more I think about it, the more Georgia makes sense—low cost of living, business-friendly, and timezone-aligned with global opportunities.
That said, the exit fee from my current location still looms. It’s a $1,200 fine to step out and move forward. So I’m building with that in mind. Every dollar I earn right now is a brick toward mobility.
The Build Continues
This isn’t the sexy part of the journey. But this is the real part.
Accounts. Infrastructure. Thinking long.
Because when the floodgates open—I don’t want to scramble. I want to collect.
