Topic: Just lost my job, new yorker here, what to do next? (Read 344 times)
Sad to read about your situation. But despite the sad moment of the market in terms of price, there are still a lot of opportunities in the sector, many exchanges and platforms expanding teams and a lot of money from VCs continues to enter the market. If you have any knowledge in the crypto-market, the chance that there are vacancies for crypto companies looking for your skill (from soft skills like marketing, art, design, communication to any other) tends to be super big.
It's hard to find a solution for you these days but you need to know what skill you owned it. What you need to do to at least try to do some side job that will give you weekly salary. Writing an article was good enough when you join into the bounty campaign with stable token payment.
I can't give you another solution and the market is also bearish, this is also reducing your investment as well. well covid and war were destroying everything
Refrain from making investments this time since you are struggling already with your funds. Instead, build more skills in freelancing so that you can land a job easily and earn a living from it. NFTs are not that profitable these days, especially that the market is actually bearish, and so less activities should be made this time. However, if you can be accepted in signature campaigns, that will also give you a decent income.

I recommend you to take a look at one interesting NFT project. I think the future is in NFT-based games because it's more useful than the art. I hope the game will be cool. The developers said that they will give some "goodies" to active members. Also, they have such a good website: https://rchronicles.org.
Now that the market has started to recover, many altcoins have turned out to be very much cheaper, a good chance to invest, but a bad chance to invest your last money. There is no telling how long the altcoin market will have to recover before prices return to good values. I would still recommend not investing in cryptocurrencies with a position like yours, because cryptocurrencies are a risky investment and very often a wait-and-see strategy, and you don't have much time with such a shaky position to wait for your investment to make a good return. Give up on this endeavor.
Just be courageous and believe you will make it. For now I suggest not to invest/buy into crypto now, because you can't tell which low is the lowest. If you buy Bitcoin now or altcoin, is it the lowest? It could still fall down more. I recommend you learn some skills online/offline - video making/Affiliate marketing skills among others. Just look around for little things you can do to make ends meet while you continue on job search and future plans. Most bounty campaigns don't pay timely, you can try it, but note that it takes time to perform - some rewards may come in weeks while others in months so note that bounty earnings are not steady and most earning are small. With prayers and focus, you will bounce back. All the best.
I am not sure if you need to be in New York. I mean is there anything that keeps you there? If there is nothing that attaches you there then leave that place as quickly as possible.
I have seen a guy who does uber and he was earning enough to live in a very comfortable place, it was like 1 room apartment place with kitchen, bathroom, living room all tidy good place, I would love to live there to be fair, not a big place, there are like 72 apartments in that condo, and each looks the same, so it may feel boring but it's in Florida and he did uber and lived comfortably that way. He said he is saving up to get better and better cars as well, so he must be putting some money aside too.

Oh my god....these charts today...I need to put in money in my alt coins before I literally lose my investment.
We're all struggling as we look at the charts. So you decide for the both of them, looking for a job and at the same time investing while the market is on a discount. I've been in that situation before where the market was too cheap and I cannot buy. Because my last money was for my needs instead of investing and I can't afford to sacrifice those needs.

Try to get into freelancing platforms like fiverr and upwork to have some gigs. Having a job there will surely help to make ends meet.
Aside from the two, there are other freelancing platforms where you can use your skills and work. I hope it helps and hopefully, you'll be able to find one and wish you to have a better situation.

Thank you, Ive used fiverr before...works very slowly..not sure what niche is popular these days on there...Ive ordered tons of traffic offers on there when I used to do affiliate marketing, too bad CPA/PPC died during the pandemic.
There are various skills to choose from and any amount you earn there can be used for your own survival and at the same time if there's any spare amount.
You could use that for investing as the market is bloody today and this is the perfect opportunity to buy. Just wishing you all the best!
I'm sorry to hear about your difficult situation, but at such a difficult time investing in NFT is a way to make things worse. Now your investments will resemble gambling, where the risk will exceed any possible profit, and buying NFT is not the best investment either, especially if you don't know about this industry. Maybe soon the market will recover and you will be able to use cryptocurrencies to improve your financial situation, but if not, then what? Then you will lose even more money.
Investing, regardless of the kind of investment, will always be risky as it is. So i won't advise you to invest for now as you only have few bucks left. Prioritize your needs first, and when you get an extra income, that's the time to invest, but never in NFTs as they will not give you long term profits. For the meantime, just wait for the market to recover, and only then you can sell the coins you are hodling.
Get another job, do not be deceived into a crypto investment right now because you can't make a living out of it, even if I advise you to learn trading its still going to be a long term strategy, to fully understand how trading works takes time too so you need money to survive.
I think and I believe you would find a job off the internet, you just have to try finding one tat suits your skills and preferences. Nowadays, a lot of people have survived through working online, and I too believe that you can do it, and get pass through this challenges you are faced right now. Aside from the mentioned websites for freelancing, there many other job offerings online, you just have to search.

Unfortunately, the market is down now, don't rely on making a living out of Cryptocurrency, there's a lot of uncertainty, I'm sure you already read or hear this, only invest money that you can afford to buy, you're already not in a stable job so don't look for projects to invest anymore, just make sure that you are healthy in this trying times, or all that you've got will vanish we are still in a pandemic, just keep looking for a day time job, I'm sure with your skills and persistence you will find one.
yes you are right,,, don't make crypto as your permanent job, especially when you don't have a job when things are unstable like now, it's best if you look for a job that can generate wages per day so you can use it for your needs, crypto is a job that can't be used as a benchmark, because sometimes you can't use it when you need it right away, I think crypto is a long-term investment, and a side job, if you expect your income from crypto then it is a very big mistake.

survival is with effort and prayer, financial gaps always have dqlam of our lives, you, me, and others, all feel, especially in the midst of pandemic, there is a lot of work termination towards employees, do not hesitate to keep trying, especially there are assets that are still valuable Doge and Shiba, curious about the situation, there are assets that are still saved, why not sold and make business capital, my advice you try to explore in Udemy and LinkedIn to work that can produce. Try focusing on making YouTube videos, or others. The choice is in your hands, you can determine now, what work you love according to your hobby.
This helped a lot ty.
Finished reading all your answers. Just one big question. Why NFTs? If you are having a bad time, don't you think it's looking for a job first before you go investing? Because NFTs are not cheap and will not give you returns in a short span of time. That means if you just have a sufficient amount of money for your necessities then you might go hungry while ROI or profits are not coming yet.Upwork is a good platform, I had a job there before that pays well. The contract is finished though so I am also like you trying to look for a job that suits my skills.
learn about NFT, join the community about NFT you can make many friends there, share information with them, occasionally dare to take risks with the capital you have. But if you are a worker before I remind you here there is no fixed income, you can get big, small, or even lose depending on how lucky you are and how you can seriously follow the project.
Feel bad for your situation, but investing last money into crypto is not the best solution. I would even say, that crypto is not a solution in your situation at all. Because it is risky and long term.
You pay attention to NFT, because it is in trend, and you have heard how people made fortune with NFT (for example by selling high price basic pixel pictures any kindergarden kid can draw) and you want to fix your situation quick. Things does not work like this. In fact, investing money in NFT now will only make your situation worse imo.
P.S. Wont government support citizens when they lose jobs?

Actually its kinda hard to risk some of your 5k savings left. Especially now that the market is volatile. Why not review yourself and find a skill work job that fits you. Its not recommendable to risk it on crypto trading or nft for now as the market is really volatile it might caught your savigns off guard and lose it. Thanks....this Lad is severly struggling, covid made my job go out of business, 5K left in savings.
In my opinion don't try your last fund and test crypto beside try to look for another source of income as the crypto right now are crashing and really volatile and if you are going to spend it all in crypto the risk you are facing is high. If you can have another job online or hidden skills maybe you can use it I think that is more better than investing to coins like Dogecoin or Shiba. I suggest that don't sell it yet and maybe just hold it than accepting that you lose.
