Frustrating week, need to dig deep for positivity and hope to keep fighting the good fight

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

Whew, so I made a bad investment and lost all my money (don't ask.) Just trying to raise funds to get more Bitcoin. Then I tried to move Bitcoin around from my Jaxx wallet to another opportunity and the transaction never confirmed after 48 hours so I missed it. And I made sure to pay "high fees" for the transaction, so it doesn't make any sense. That's the second Jaxx transaction in a row that timed out and never made it, despite having paid extra for transaction fees. The other one was to move my remaining funds from Jaxx to another wallet! Maybe Jaxx just won't let me leave. Now that I have Shapeshifted my ICN back to BTC and finally got my BCH out of there, there's no reason to keep using Jaxx.

Then things aren't going well at work and I have been applying to other jobs and not hearing anything.

Lastly, I tried to invest in the Bankera ICO today. I read reviews of around 20 upcoming ICOs and decided that that was the one I was going to try (well, first I picked Tron, but that sold out in 10 seconds on Binance and I didn't have a chance.) So I sent some Bitcoin to Spectrocoin.com, the host of the Bankera ICO and it cleared. They said all I had to do was login at 7:00am today to exchange my Bitcoin for Bankera. I set my alarm early, went to my computer and...the site had crashed. I shouldn't be surprised. There must be overwhelming interest and now it's too late for me to get in. But now I'm just waiting for their site to be restored so I can get my Bitcoin back. At this point I am feeling irritable and impatient, just wanting something to go well.

My advice is just keep going, things will get better, maybe tomorrow...

Thank you! I think you are right.

Did they get better? Just curious what type of linguistics are you into? Are you a writer?

Lots of stuff got better. Other things I am still struggling with but I will prevail!
Linguistics: I was mostly into historical linguistics until I dropped out of my Ph.D. program. I write, but haven't tried to get published in a long time. I need to work on that. I haven't written my novel yet. I am halfway through a play.

What is the play about?

NICE POST,

Wow, you are having a rough time. I've had my share of frustration with exchanges as well but I think you have me beat. I hope your day gets better :)

Thank you!

Sorry to hear about your irritation @clemdane. I hope things worked out well eventually, since this post is 6 days old.
let us know and good luck :)

Thanks! I've cheered up a lot since then. Got super busy and took my longest break from Steemit since I started here. Now I need to get back in the saddle and get writing again!

Happy to hear that.
Welcome back happier and fresher. Looking forward to your posts :D

Update: got through, bought some Bankera - that's what I came to do, so I went through with it.
Edited: Bandera > Bankera. Bandera is a (pretty good) restaurant chain.
