Feeling Stuck.

For the past few months, I have increased my activity in the crypto sphere and the increased activity means that you have less time for your other activities that not only include personal activities but also some deep research about the topics you are working on in your job. Our technology landscape is changing rapidly and the expectation is to keep pace with this technology landscape and keep updated with these new technologies while supporting the current work that is still on the old technologies. Actually, at current, you do not have any direct "tangible" benefits and I am not sure how much it will give in the future because I feel the technology stack will again change in the next 5 years even before we will be able to dispose of the current old technology stack.

I am just wondering about the direction that I should take for my future, should I start paying more attention to my job to excel in both current and new technology stacks and work and put myself in a rat race of finding better paying jobs, that bring more expectations and more importantly require living in the big cities, where expenditure and cost of living keep increasing, that keep diminishing the saving.

In another approach, I can devote time to crypto sphere, to keep earning and build little by little and find the gems that can give some significant gains. Frankly speaking, I am sure that in the 5 years, if everything goes as I am thinking, I will be able to make a portfolio and skills that will be able to help me retire in some small town where my expenditures will be less and I will be acting as my own boss and learning the things that I really like to learn.

The only issue is the time frame and the probability, the time frame that I am looking at i.e. 5 years is not te small one, coupled with the probability (as I cannot predict the future accurately) makes the matter worse.
I feel that one should not leave the current opportunity based on the probability of the "better" opportunity and here I am "Stuck".

Just wondering, how is life for you guys and what decisions you have to take to balance the things in your life.

I think it's tough but I would focus on your real life first. Make sure things are stable there and then spend time on crypto. I treat Hive more as as something that will likely succeed and help me achieve financial independence later on in life.

i think you need to pay attention to both. You never know what life will bring thus it's good to have options. if you focus only on one and then something unexpected happens then it will be way harder.

Tech is a big factor that you never know. For instance, if i had more money years ago and confidence in crypto tech i would have bought btc at 50$-100$ and now i would own an island or something :P. Also even though i believe in hive i honestly can't let's say invest half of my salary cause i don't know what will happen to hive in 5 years or what the witnesses or governments will decide. It's better in my mind to invest something that i don't care and ofc take less risks than yolo mode

Yeah, I am not investing anything in "YOLO" but currently it require considerable time to earn in Hive. I guess I have to cut short that time but it will impact my Hive income. I guess I need more focus on job currently and keep Hive on slow build.
