Balancing Workload Stress and Cryptocurrency Speculations

Today, I didn't go to work as I was feeling a bit indisposed. I strongly believe this might be due to the numerous tasks I have been engaged in over the past couple of days. As we approach the end of the term, tasks usually pile up during this period. You can't imagine having to mark and record results for over 1,000 students. It is extremely draining and causes fatigue.

I'm not even done with recording their assessments and notes. I have to do this one by one to ascertain which students are serious and merit promotion to the next class. Some students have a habit of skipping school but still want to come in and write examinations, expecting miracles to happen. If they fail, they are quick to point fingers.

Apart from my primary assignment, I had a conversation with a friend who is a crypto enthusiast. We spoke at length about the issue of cryptocurrency manipulation. We agreed that this is perhaps the biggest manipulation to have ever happened in the history of cryptocurrency. No one is even sure whether we will witness a bull run this session, given the current state of the market. It's unfortunate that many altcoins are being created lately. Investors and insider traders are cashing out daily, and no one seems to care about maintaining a healthy marketplace for everyone. The saying, "No one really cares as long as they are making a profit," is truly worth considering.

Bitcoin's price fluctuations are affecting the market, and sadly, it's disheartening to see how badly this impacts other altcoins. The question now is: when is the true bull run coming? Have we already witnessed the bull market? What exactly is going on in the cryptocurrency space?

My friend suggested that the best time to invest in cryptocurrency is now. While I don't completely disagree, it's difficult to be sure how the market will play out. I have witnessed many notable memecoins turning to dust in the past few weeks. Coins like #BOME, #WIF, and many others have been affected. All I can say and what I told my friend is to be cautious before investing in any project that is not community-oriented.

Another friend of mine argued that cryptocurrency is advanced gambling, but I disagree. Perhaps Zoom traders and day traders might see it that way, but long-term investors would likely disagree unless they invest in a scam cryptocurrency. The market is full of scams under the guise of launching new "shitcoins." If you check CoinMarketCap, you'll realize that many altcoins are being created daily, and there's a lot of cloning of existing cryptocurrencies happening too.
