I'm Still Here

Hi, everyone!

I know the last few days/weeks in the markets have been bananas, and I’ve felt bad for not writing. I have a few drafts of pieces that I’ve been getting ready to send out, but I’ve also been working on anywhere from two to five pieces a day for my new job at Finder, which I absolutely love. Everyone at the company has been incredible thus far. I couldn’t be more grateful to have landed in such a place.

I shared the following photo and post about my job (and birthday) on Instagram (@frankcorva) and Facebook (none yo damn business if we aren’t personal friends).

Everyone at my new job wanted to know what I was doing for my 40th birthday today. I told them I’d see friends and family and yadda yadda yadda because it felt too weird to say that I was just so happy to be at a job that I absolutely love. I was so petrified to start this job because I felt like I couldn’t hack it. However, I’ve learned in the last two weeks that I can hack it plus some. It’s taken me 40 years and so much exploration to find employment that makes me this happy, and I truly can’t express how deeply grateful I am to be in such a place.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes today. My heart was so full as I received messages from friends and family around the world. At 40, I have everything I could ever want. Thank you all for being a part of this ride with me and for all of the love and support. I feel like the luckiest person alive today. (#rockworld)

Here’s my profile page at Finder if you’d like to follow the work I publish there.

Most of you are probably like, “Glad things are good for you, but what’s with this whole magic internet money scene falling apart?”. And that’s a valid question. You can read what I told The Street here. I’ll expand on those thoughts and also explain what happened with this whole LUNA/UST fiasco next time I write.

I know that these are tough times for many financially right now, and I don’t take that lightly. I know that some of you are new to the crypto markets and that some of these abrupt downturns can be unsettling. I hope that everyone is hanging in there (not just financially, but emotionally, too). Big hug.

Homework

Here is a link to an interview with Raoul Pal and Punk 6529. Who’s Punk 6529 you ask? Good question; it’s worth signing up for Real Vision Crypto (for free) and watching to find out.

Also, on the topic of watching videos for homework, I’ll soon be interviewing people in the crypto space for Finder, and we’ll be posting the filmed interviews on YouTube. I’ll be like a mini Papa Raoul. Best part about this new dimension to my job… the video editor in my office proposed that we call my show “Let Me Be Frank”. I’ve made the late Carl Jung very proud.

Best,

Frank
