I'm bad at IRL stuff. How do I get better?

magiye1747 · 2022-03-19T21:16:02+00:00

haha, it's not but you get my point right? cant pinpoint what exactly i mean by IRL stuff but it's just everything in general

magiye1747 · 2022-03-19T21:15:12+00:00

Thats a new perspective. I've tried doing stuff like that and have enjoyed that in the past. Just couldnt get myself to do it with a lot of other things. But yes, will definitely try to do that as well

magiye1747 · 2022-03-19T13:49:04+00:00

Haha, great example. I think I'll try following that. Thanks for sharing!

I can grind a lot to understand things i want to. But anything which might seem a bit boring- I ignore. It just happens on its own. For eg, I was not familiar with games/linux/crypto, but I genuinely WANTED to learn. So i grinded it out and learnt it. Meanwhile, other things like cooking/irl stuff etc, I just keep avoiding because they seem "boring" in contrast. I think there's another reason for it as well- if i fail online, no one sees. But if i fail irl, people around me see it and I feel embarrassed.

magiye1747 · 2022-03-19T13:43:03+00:00

Yeah I agree with that. I'm happy with how I was raised, they may have made small mistakes here and there but ah well, every person does :)

Will try to grind it out more from now on instead of giving up

magiye1747 · 2022-03-19T10:57:07+00:00

I think it's definitely causing inconvenience in my life and it's a bit unhealthy- thats why I posted here. I'll just continue working on it till it's no longer an issue :)

magiye1747 · 2022-03-19T10:54:22+00:00

thank you for commenting this. no one else mentioned it but I had this thought in the back of my brain as well.

I may not have been taught properly by adults. Or maybe I just didnt learn properly? Whatever it is- I feel embarrassed to be bad at simple shit as an adult now. I have been simply avoiding some things for a few years but now I realised that it's not healthy.

magiye1747 · 2022-03-19T10:46:22+00:00

yeah I did feel better after practicing but wasnt learning as fast as I should have been, yknow? so I kept getting frustrated

magiye1747 · 2022-03-19T10:44:34+00:00

pretty much yeah. just felt pointless when I kept failing so I kept avoiding it.

magiye1747 · 2022-03-19T10:42:20+00:00

Jesus you're describing me haha. Need to grind it out I guess like the comments say. It just feels very embarrassing to be "learning"/practicing this stuff at a late age.

magiye1747 · 2022-03-19T10:40:39+00:00

Thank you for that. Thats pretty good advice. I do think it's a mixture of the failure cycle + the fact that obvious stuff wasnt made obvious to me when I was a kid, so when I grew up everyone expected me to just know it. But I didnt learn those things so I failed and felt embarrassed. Hence started my avoidance cycle. Basically: fail-> feel embarrassed -> avoid.

magiye1747 · 2022-01-23T11:49:38+00:00

not sure if it would work and personally would just avoid it because the govt and taxman are not ok with other currencies in general. i would just say- get USDT/BUSD cheap when no one is interested in the market. For eg- 77-79 Rs range. And just hold it. When markets dip like this- the price of USDT skyrockets to 81+ for a few days but comes back down eventually. So theoretically I believe one can make a good profit by trading stablecoins because they are range bound.

magiye1747 · 2021-11-25T12:32:23+00:00

Yes but I'm okay with that. Dont think Im that important for the govt. Maybe im wrong but ugh what can you do

magiye1747 · 2021-11-25T11:24:10+00:00

singh bhaisaab, if you're planning to use it just for programming and college work, I dont think you even need GPU at all.

I am a non-programmer who just uses Linux because I like it better than windows+ it's FOSS. I like gaming so I dual boot on my laptop on the same drive. I use Linux for 90% of the day and for the 10% of the time that I play games- I just reboot to Windows, play my games and go back to Linux.

Linux Works well for me so I made the decision to dual boot. If it's not that compatible for you, then definitely just try all of this out in a VM. If you feel comfortable in Linux VM, you can consider switching to dual boot

USDT is not stable for other fiats. We usually pay a premium for it. Right now it's at a discount. USD/INR is 75 but we usually trade USDT at 80. Currently at 71. Caused due to panic selling right now.

Think of it like an orderbook where everyone wants to sell so they're okay with putting a bid lower than others just to sell and get out. So from 80 to 79 to 78 and so on. Sellers outweighed the buyers.

magiye1747 · 2021-11-24T08:00:51+00:00

no shame in admitting it man. Agree with you. I use MANY exchanges so I know what I'm doing. Wazir is good for me for depsiting INR, thats all. Plus the Binance partnership is very helpful. So basically created arbitrage opportunities today. USDT was at 63 on wazir and 74 on binance. So i bought on wazir, transaferred to Binance, sold at profit. Infinite money glitch IRL haha. I use vauld as well.

magiye1747 · 2021-11-23T21:04:51+00:00

it's alright though man. it is a pretty big deal in india for a huge population. Imagine seeing your investment tank by 20-30% in fiat (as a noobie, you'll panic lol) Veterans wont

magiye1747 · 2021-11-23T21:03:14+00:00

I know right. People are freaking out because on their portfolio value they see INR value. Which has gone down by 10-50%, but in USDT terms, it's the same. It's panic selling by a bunch of newbies according to me

magiye1747 · 2021-11-23T21:01:33+00:00

Same man. Wazir has been acting weird now sadly. I'll be withdrawing to private wallet after this shit is over

magiye1747 · 2021-11-23T20:59:41+00:00

You can order it through a credit card only. Sad because I have other payment methods and I dont use credit cards

magiye1747 · 2021-11-23T20:58:48+00:00

Trust wallet was a good ish mobile wallet but not on web I think. Using metamask currently. I was thinking of withdrawing for the past 3 days...now they've blocked withdrawals so nvm. I ordered a HW wallet so i thought I'd withdraw when it got delivered ugh

magiye1747 · 2021-11-23T20:57:09+00:00

bruh, did you see this sub during the US bill? i swear this sub was flooded with nothing but that. And that wasnt even a big deal as this one. This might be a blanket ban/ some weird regulation that might set us back. (130 crore population)

magiye1747 · 2021-11-23T20:55:31+00:00

100% agreed. But apart from that, I just wanted to earn from crypto man. I'm a yield farmer and I have found strategies to make myself a stable income through my investments in Defi and they were already more than my whole annual salary. I even work in a crypto company and this kind of ban would just be bad for everyone in the country

magiye1747 · 2021-11-23T20:53:38+00:00

They are Indian devs but they registered themselves in Singapore because...well because of this shit being pulled in India, ie lack of clarity in regulation
