Earlier today I received a call from a private investment group to meet up for dinner and talk about digital assets like cryptocurrencies. A friend recommended me, somehow. It seems like bespoke investors are beginning to earmark a small portion of whatever they do for magic internet money. Now, I've tried plenty of gigs before, but I've never managed anyone else's funds, other than a stash of ethers for some friends back in 2016.. so I was left wondering - what the eth makes me qualified for the task?
The answer that I got was:-
"Looking at your writings, you seem to know your shit."
Admittedly, I felt a surge of pride hearing that compliment. Strands of ramen noodles almost slipped out of my nose. After all, my rebrand as The New World Blogger is to share all sorts ideas, stories, lifestyle-pieces, and entertaining, balanced opinions about the new world economy. But this has nothing to do with professional fund management! I like the freedom of writing and contributing whatever the eth I want without anyone telling me what to do.. that's all.
"Don't worry, we wouldn't stupidly allow you to play with the funds yourself. Just do whatever you've been doing researching on those blockchain stuff worth looking into. You'd still need to convince us with the pros and cons of anything before the money goes there."
Thanks Steemit. You've been taking good care of this nutcase since last year, and now I find myself contemplating a new freelance-y gig on new frontiers. That way I can even begin supporting blockchain projects a little more substantially. I couldn't ask for more. Anyway, do you think it's a good idea to take up the offer? It's definitely tempting for both the rewards and learning experience, but I don't think it's going to be funny when it comes to losing money for others. Could use your perspective on this matter.
