..........through the gloom and silence

The general finance and economic sentiment of the world is currently not bullish. Stock and FX aren't doing as well, crypto is completely gloomy, real estate isn't selling so good because people don't have as much money.
The war in Iran has brought some negative feeling to the market. Gold and silver and other precious metals did break their all-time highs, infact BTC is even at 74k but no one is ecstatic.
On paper everyone is championing BTC but 90% of people aren't holding it.
Sad, ironic reality
On the other hand the 90% of these people are actually the ones pushing the crypto narrative and not BTC, but since 99% of alt projects didn't pump, the crypto market is virtually drained and this is to tell you something: the crypto narrative can only sell when other projects blooms and not BTC. However I don't want to make this post about crypto price analysis.
At the moment there aren't a lot of thriving sectors and people are not even excited about anything anymore, but this is the perfect economic and financial condition to start a project, a business a partnership, an online gig or building a social media optimized platform for earning.
I know a lot of persons that has been building platforms for earning for years now and the page only got profitable for monetization.
Building is hard, but it's the only way. Whether you're building in web3 or web2 it's hard nonetheless.
Crypto bros have been building for years and yet many of us aren't even rich, while the idea of "long-term" makes people question the risk/reward thingy, there's really no way you can have a substantial amount of success if you don't begin something that can be prospectively profitable.
Other side of the coin
I recently found a place for someone that remotely employs software engineers. I found this place sometimes back when I was doing my research on how to utilize YouTube for video content, and since I wasn't a software engineer or have a tech skill I them referred someone who can.
I went ahead to do research on the viability of them making some decent money, and they had some good chance, this is going to help them raise some money to put a lot of things in order in their life and that's the fulfilment I'll get.
Finding loopholes to lift people is what I enjoy doing, while I originally see myself as a skill-less person, I like believing in willpower and going the extra mile as a skill that even skilled people do not have and this is where the essence of partnership comes in.
There's a possibility that this opportunity might not work, we intend to line up more opportunities for him to Monetize his tech skills, and this is why I put in research everyday.
It's absolutely depressing to building anything these days. Even tech employers are looking for the best, and even the pay is not as good anymore for remote workers, but this idea is to build through these difficult times and make it out for the good times.
I've done a lot of side hustle gigs on the internet and recommending places for people has not always been my problem, because I prefer doing the dirty work that a lot of people cannot do. People put in one hour of research and they're tired, I put in months of research and still don't feel I've done enough.
The internet is a goldmine and you can literally find anything you want if you're serious about that. I hope my home boy can succeed with this one, and get other external recommendations and access to other platforms as well.
In 2026, it's now more about building opportunities and waiting for them to click later, a lot of people may appear to be sleeping or hibernating, but the truth is that they're actually planning, strategizing and getting better. So. I've stuck to continuing my research work and trying new things, I guess you cannot be lucky if you don't try.
