I quit my job yesterday.
Some of you might be wondering, why would anyone quit their job in this economy? I mean, after all, they were paying me. And yes, they were,though not much, to be honest. But money wasn’t really the issue. I quit for a reason that might sound strange to some people: I was being underutilized.
When I told one of my friends about it, his reaction said it all. He said, “Wow, I’ve never heard anyone say they’re quitting because they’re underutilized.” He had heard of people quitting because they were tired, frustrated, or underpaid but never because they simply weren’t given enough to do. But that’s exactly what happened to me.
Now, let’s talk about underutilization. It’s one of those silent things that can drain you without you even realizing it. I’m someone who knows my worth. I know what I’m capable of, and I love putting my skills to work. The reason I got a job in the first place was because I can’t stand being idle; I like being useful. But imagine going to work every day and still feeling idle. Imagine sitting in front of your laptop for hours with absolutely nothing to do. It sounds like peace, but trust me, it’s not. It messes with your mind.
There were days I just sat there, staring blankly at my screen, wondering why I was even there. It wasn’t just mentally exhausting, it was also financially draining. I was spending money on transport and lunch just to go sit and do nothing. It didn’t make sense anymore. So, I decided to choose myself. I quit.
And honestly? I feel free.
I know something big is coming. Right now, I’m exploring the Web3 space, something I’ve been curious about for a while. It’s new, it’s evolving, and I can already see that it holds opportunities for people who are willing to learn and adapt.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this experience, it’s this:
Know your worth. Never stay somewhere that doesn’t challenge you or help you grow.
Listen to yourself. When something doesn’t feel right, it’s probably not.
Be brave enough to start again. Quitting isn’t failure, sometimes it’s the reset you need.
Leaving my job wasn’t an easy decision, but it was the right one. Because at the end of the day, peace of mind and growth matter.
If you read till the end, I love youu & Have a wonderful night
I wanted to post on Farcaster but I saw that my jottings were too much for a cast, and then I remembered I had a paragraph, MY OWN PARAGRAPH.
So, I can write whatever the hell I want here. Today, I’m going to educate y’all on what I learnt in my Shefi class .
Introduction to Blockchain and Cryptocurrency
The first Bitcoin transaction was called the Genesis Block; the start of blockchain history.
Bitcoin was the first successful implementation of peer-to-peer decentralized digital money.
Bitcoin has limited functionality and was the first blockchain.
The second blockchain was Ethereum, which expanded Bitcoin’s vision.
Ethereum allows many use cases and cuts out middlemen.
Other popular blockchains include: Solana, BNB, Polkadot, Avalanche, Near, Celo, and Cardano.
Properties of Blockchains That Redesign Better Systems
Decentralized – no single central authority (like a bank).
Hi my babies
I need name suggestions for y’all because “my babies” might soon turn into something even cuter 😏
Most of you already know I love reading, but what you don’t know is that I also love writing. The only problem is… I’m too lazy to actually write Like, how do I explain that my head is overflowing with ideas, but my fingers refuse to cooperate when it’s time to type them out?
Anyways that’s by the way, this isn’t one of my paragraphs (actually it is a paragraph🤔). Please don’t mind my humor; What I really came here to say is: please, pretty please, subscribe to my Paragraph! ✨
I promise it’s worth your time; fun reads, random thoughts, maybe a few deep ones too, and of course, my sense of humor that no one asked for but you’re getting anyway 😂 Tell a friend to tell a friend to tell another friend to subscribe. Let’s make it a whole thing! 💌
If you stayed till the end, I love you! <3

Transparent – all transactions can be seen by everyone, unlike banks that operate privately.
Censorship Resistant – no one can block or alter transactions.
Smart Contracts – automated, self-executing digital agreements built on the blockchain.
Tokens and Cryptocurrencies
A token is a unit of value recorded on a blockchain ledger.
All cryptocurrencies are tokens, but not all tokens are cryptocurrencies.
Differences:
Cryptocurrency:
Digital money native to its own blockchain.
Runs on its own network (e.g., Bitcoin on the Bitcoin blockchain).
Token:
Represents on-chain assets or value.
Not native to a blockchain but runs on top of another one (e.g., tokens on Ethereum).
What tokens represent:
Ownership (crypto ownership or assets).
Governance/voting rights.
Tradable digital assets with financial value.
Types of Tokens:
Fungible Tokens: identical and interchangeable (e.g., 1 ETH = 1 ETH).
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs): unique, not equal to any other (e.g., digital art NFTs).
Web3 Overview
Web3 is the internet of value, it enables direct exchange of value online.
It leverages blockchains and tokens to give power and control back to builders, creators, and users.
Web2: You are only a user.
Web3: You are both a user and an owner; you can own, earn, and buy tokens.
Blockchain and Ownership
Blockchains record ownership transparently.
Holding a token means your ownership is recorded directly on the public ledger.
Formula: Blockchain + Tokens = Ownership
Blockchains make users participants, not just consumers.
Key Concepts and Incentives
Bitcoin is a successful project without a leader; powered by code and community.
Core elements of blockchain:
Decentralization
Financial incentives
Consensus mechanisms
Purpose: to record transactions without a central authority, ensuring trust and integrity.
Centralized systems have issues like lack of transparency and single points of failure.
Blockchain networks solve this by having thousands of computers (nodes) hold copies of the same ledger.
If one node goes offline, others keep the network running, data is never lost.
Why People Join Blockchain Networks!
People join to earn rewards by securing the network and processing transactions (as validators).
Bitcoin pioneered this system, code pays people, not a company.
No single entity owns the blockchain; it’s collectively maintained and reward-driven.
Today’s class was really interesting and insightful. Thank you for reading 🙂.
