Thinking about money makes you dizzy? - Cancun (Day 31, $14)

in #steemproof5 years ago

How fast you need how much money? How to get it? I admit I'm a little bit dizzy, still hard to focus but it gets each day clearer. Only 59 days more to the target to leave this black hole here and go to the ocean in Cancun. Second target to make $9,000 in 90 days. As you can see the days get less, but the money not really more. It is not that in 59 days I need the briefcase below.

But sure I need some money, to pay my debts here, pay the extortion money for the criminal gang of this locality because of visa overstay. I need flights and some money to live for the first time. So it is not only about to have once $9,000 but also to have a sustainable income to continue. In the last days, it becomes more and more clear to me what I need to do. Some things I'm already doing, some are done, and a lot is still to do. For more than 3 months I get good advice from my imaginary friend on twitter @billionaire_key, so I keep on and on. Okay, probably I would do it like ever anyway but it's nicer to walk not everything alone. When you never speak about your thoughts, never can synchronize it feels like to become crazy.

I am still on the WordPress hosting, now the server runs, installs automatically a new user on the system, the letsencrypt SSL certificate, creates a database and install WordPress with the provided variables. Happy that I made it till here, because before it was pretty complicated, and today the real complicated thing is all the old stuff on the network. The way to go today is in my view Apache2 with mod_proxy_fcgi and PHP-fpm, so it gets a lot simpler and faster. Simplicity is very important for security! I discarded suexec, chroot and hhvm on the way, old information cost me 6 hours of reading and researching.

Today old information cost me another 3 hours, utopian.io is down, I couldn't find out why. The information I found about utopia.io seems to be outdated. The pace nowadays is incredible. I found steem projects and steem center today, and a lot of projects are outdated and/or abandoned. Yeah, even my little project I did one year before I never maintained, and after 3 server transfers, it was not working anymore. Yeah, also because of the decision to realize it with mod_python, what I thought back in those days is like mod_php, but nope, there are better ways.

I remember still a time I thought that I can overview everything in informatics, which was round about 1990. Then suddenly it accelerated in ludicrous mode (Tesla would probably say, the company, not Nikola). There are facts in the world which don't change that much, and others when you read them, they are already the past. In 2001 when I became a freelancer in network and communication administration and developer, I was reading almost one book each day, I think there was 290 for that year. Sometimes I read 3 books at the same time, while directly applying it for my running projects. Now I have a stock of more than 2500 books I want to read, while each day there popping up at least 5 books more, and the worse part, at some things I want to read not even books out yet. But back to the point, 2001 I started to read the books in German, my native language and realized very fast that the books recently for sale were already outdated. So I switched to read all IT books only in English, and still, books were so slow and ever behind. Today often there is no other choice then read the information distributed over the whole internet to follow up. But still, there are things who came to last.

So, how to build a monster money machine to last? The funny thing is, I think it is like in science fiction movies when they want to show you the future the show you the extreme past. And I think the answer to the question lies also in the past. The classics like, "Think and Grow Rich", "Richest man of Babylon", "Memories of Giacomo Casanova" and others. Because the basics don't change, they need only get applied faster and more precise than before.

Today I opened another time a PayPal account (yes from this non-government criminal organization which causes trouble all the time). I opened the account and got blocked directly, probably because of the Bolivian mobile number. Also somehow funny that global companies get weird when the customer also global. Three years ago, PayPal, Google blocked my accounts because I was connected from my phone with an IP from the UK and from the notebook via WIFI from Spain. Suspicions activity, well, not if someone figures out that lyca mobile tunneled al traffic into the UK (probably, that was easier to surveillance for some other criminal organizations). But anyway, in times of proxies, VPN and Tor, one could expect that global companies are so flexible like there customers.

Another annoying fact, every sim card change causes trouble because companies rely on mobile numbers like it would be your grave (immutable). But the reality is that I had in Spain at least 3 sim cards per week because it took only 2.5 days to use up all the data and you could only purchase a new package after 30 days and in other countries the same thing. When I got arrested in France I had a bag full of sim cards (which I reused after 30 days or when I passed other countries again), and the fagots (the police) like the judge cannot understand why someone would do that. But Google, PayPal? What the fuck!

So, today I needed the VPN to open the PayPal account in Germany, and the mobile number from Bolivia and I belong not to one of these countries. Countries are obsolete, outdated like governments.

The last 59 days to Cancun in front, it becomes well uncomfortable at the moment. Have a great day or/and a relaxing night.

Another suggestion, earn from Youtube perhaps. Make videos. Have a nice day! It's me the mermaid. LOL

Yep, I'm also thinking about that but still not very comfortable because of the surrounding and I think it takes also a lot of time till still comes money in. Additionally, I think my content will never attract a big group of how I am very straight, direct and different. But I'm planning to do so when I'm physically arriving in Cancun :)

Thank you and have a great day!
