Who am I#
I am a web developer with ten years of experience. In the first seven years, I loved my job and constantly switched between working in big companies and startups. Now I have become an independent developer and am active in the cryptocurrency field. I will record how I complete my career transformation, balancing development with learning financial knowledge and trading techniques, and becoming a mature "speculator."
Purpose#
Writing should have a positive impact on me personally. My undergraduate university was very ordinary, but during my time there, I established my own independent blog to record and share my learning and insights. At the same time, I designed some WordPress themes related to my field of expertise. Perhaps this helped me secure offers from big companies during campus recruitment.
After starting work, I stopped my continuous output, to the point that I didn't even know how to start writing this opening paragraph. Although I have had rich personal experiences, I haven't accumulated anything of my own. I can only console myself with the knowledge in my mind.
Now that I have become an independent developer and want to make a certain career transformation, I don't have any platform to give me an "ability" boost. Although I have been dabbling in the cryptocurrency circle as a hobby for the past two years and have made some money by luck (at least the current investment capital is from previous profits), I have been unable to progress further. In order to not lose my money again without relying on luck, I need to start from scratch and learn some financial and trading knowledge. One of the best ways to learn is to restate what I understand to others. This is one of the important reasons why I am starting to output again.
I will also share some of my opinions and experiences for reference and allow others to point out and correct my viewpoints and understanding, in order to correct any biases.
In this process, my writing skills can also be improved, and overall, it seems to be a very high ROI activity. The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time is now. Let's do it.
Plan#
I don't have many long-term plans. Based on my strengths and what I am learning, future articles will cover topics such as dApp development, trading, DeFi, and data analysis.
In the short term, my plan is mainly to study the following books:
- "Principles of Economics"
- "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques"
- "Volume Price Analysis"
- "New Wyckoff Method"
I will share some notes and summaries based on these books and also share some lessons and insights from practical experience.
