I have a goal of writing one short sci-fi story every month. This morning I sat down at my desk to start my sci-fi story named Bird People. I spent the past weeks preparing for the final exams of the philosophy department and writing articles about finance. So it wasn't easy for me to switch to creative writing mode. I had two ideas about the story. Humans can fly without tools on a low-gravity planet and a matchmaking AI finds people's ideal life partner.

I couldn't concentrate on the story because my mind was on falling coin prices. When I checked the coin prices, I saw that the decrease continued. I can't wait to add new coins to my portfolio as prices drop. I reminded myself not to rush because I intend to wait for Bitcoin to regress to the 30-31k range for a new purchase. In fact, as in May, Bitcoin may even sag below 30 thousand. A new bull rally can then begin. At least I hope so.

I opened the Peakd application and read the articles of several Hive authors. By the way, I saw that my Hive Power lease request, which I created in Dlease, was fulfilled. With the last 20k added, I reached a Hive power of 50k. However, the value of my vote did not increase significantly, as Hive prices have fallen drastically in recent days. By the way, I also intended to increase my Leo power to 10k, but when I saw that I did not have enough Hive for this, I gave up on this plan.

Checking crypto prices hourly breaks my concentration and lowers my productivity. Especially when the market is active as it is these days, I can't help but check the prices. For some reason, it suddenly occurred to me that the money I was thinking of using to buy new coins were not liquid. After selling enough stocks and mutual funds, I checked Hive Punk sales. I can't help but check what's being bought and sold as if I'm in charge of the Hive Punk market. These are all the excuses I find for not starting my story called Bird People.

When I gave up on writing the story, I decided to write about coin projects about artificial intelligence and big data. I thought that I will write the article in about two hours since these are areas that I have been working on for years. I opened the link https://coinmarketcap.com/view/ai-big-data/ and started to review the projects. Later, I examined the artificial intelligence trends of 2022 through the searches I made on Google. Thus, I concluded that Web 2.0 companies such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon are much more successful in the field of artificial intelligence compared to the crypto projects. I didn't feel like writing any artificial intelligence post. I opened Coingecko and checked the crypto prices again. There was no notable change.

I had lunch around 15:00, went to the market with my wife, and went for a walk. During the walk, I decided that my story would be about a man who, under the guidance of an artificial intelligence matchmaker, sets out from the world to meet a bird-women. When I returned home, I carefully read the sections on relationships and love in the social psychology lesson's book. The colors of love and the theory of social exchange were the topics that caught my attention the most. Then I opened the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Hive price charts and examined the evolution of the MACD and RSI indicators over time. In the evening, my daughter and I studied mathematics for about two hours. I think the questions were very difficult for a middle school student.

While trying to focus my daughter's attention on the number line, it occurred to me to write down what happened to me today. Even though I couldn't write anything during the day, I could very well tell the story of my inability to write anything.

When I checked the Turkish stock market in the evening, I saw that the prices dropped by 5 percent. I was pleased to see that I was spared a significant amount of damage due to the sale I made during the day. In recent days, the correlation between Nasdaq 100 shares and cryptocurrencies has become more evident. I checked the Nasdaq 100 index and saw that the prices were also down 5 percent. It means that our team wasn't the only one that was beaten. At that time, I remembered the sentence "Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration” in the Dune novel. Prices go up and down, articles are written.

Thank you for reading.
