Early days

Welcome! I'm very excited to start this account with Mirror.xyz. It’s been something I have wanted to do for ages. Why do we wait so long to begin tasks or new hobbies that interest us? Motivation? Fear of failure? Laziness? Maybe a bit of all three. Maybe you are stuck in the rat race and have no time, or you're busy juggling a 9-5 job and kids. Having an outlet is very important. Learning new things, creativity, and self-expression are all great ways to cleanse the soul; to meditate. This past weekend, I told myself, "Enough is enough, I am starting this blog, and I'm sticking with it."

My goal is twofold: learn new areas within the DeFi space and help others while doing so. I also am very eager to meet people who share the same love for this space as myself. Often, I burn friends out by talking about it so often. What is even worse than that is actually meeting someone who is into it but buying/selling on centralized exchanges, not knowing why or even what they are spending their hard-earned dollars on. I see nothing at all wrong with this; it's a rite of passage almost. We all start somewhere, make mistakes, and hopefully learn from these mistakes. The problem I have with this type of participant is when asked where, what, why, etc., I do within the space. Immediately after I begin to explain, they are checking out. I'm not writing some big brain dev writing scripts or building new protocols or chains, have some intricate algos printing millions of dollars or anything of the sort. I'd say I'm in the weeds enough, though. Maybe the problem is with myself and how I go about explaining how I interact with the space. The goal is to improve in that respect as well. At any rate, I just wanted to lay the foundation for things to come.

Please give me a follow, reach out, and share anything I do that was enjoyable and helpful. Thanks for stopping by, and until next time!
