#and they're hiring full and part time so possibly multiple positions?

[guinevereslancelot]

actually applied for a job im a bit optimistic abt 🙏

[mermazeablaze]

I have worked in the service industry - mainly hotel. & it's not just California (though I am glad for them striking). The service/hospitality industry is where people feel the most justified in treating you like shit. Because it's the 'most basic labor' that most people can do.

But they don't realize. When they can't cook or don't know how or don't want to - they have someone do it for them. Cleaning? You can have someone do it for you. Lawn care? Hire someone. Some place to sleep? A place is prepared & maintained for you.

Do you know what the pay is for *most* FOH (front of house) restaurant workers? $3-7/hr. Because they expect you to make the difference up with tips. Tips aren't wages. I'm going to say it again - tips aren't wages! There are days when business is slow & you still have bills. Or the fact most of the work is part time. & you have to overwork yourself with multiple shifts - if you're even able to get multiple shifts because places overstaff. Some places make you share tips. Or don't let you keep tips at all (it happens).

BOH (back of house) workers get paid $5-13/hr. & they're lucky if FOH shares tips with them (some places do. But again, tips are not wages). & again, most of those positions are part time & overstaffed.

In hotel, even the 5 Star ones. I have worked at a few 5 Stars - the pay is abysmal: $7.25-13/hr. A handful of hotels can go as high as $13.75-14/hr (if you're lucky). Most of those positions are part time, but due to Covid there's an employee shortage. So you'll get full time plus overtime, but at what cost?

FOH at hotel (desk clerk & concierge) typically don't get tips & most hotels frown on it. Meanwhile, BOH (bellhops, housekeeping & room service) get tips (if you're lucky). Some hotels have laundry as a separate department from housekeeping & they don't get tips at all. Spas are a separate entity even if they belong to the hotel & aren't a third party.

People also pay & treat service workers like shit because they believe it's work menial enough for young people to gain experience. Which also adds a layer of bias, "Young people are dumb & don't deserve nice things. They have to earn the right to be treated like a full fledged person by doing this "crappy job" first."

But then it feeds into, "That person is no longer young & still working that crappy job as an adult. Something MUST be wrong with them - dumb, lazy, drug addict, alcoholic, immature, etc."

((& more times than I can count. I have engaged with people who view service people outside of their place of work with as much fear & vitriol as they do homeless people. They flinch & eye you & keep their distance & won't make eye contact. You can almost see their skin crawl. Because in their mind - they're the same thing - people who don't deserve respect.))

& then it comes full circle to, "Ah, you're elderly & need money? Here's this easy job that anyone can do & it's respectable enough for you to do. It doesn't pay a lot. But you're old. What could you possibly need a whole lot of money for? You have a house right? Transportation? Surely, you're collecting SSI or something as your main income? Because you're old & should have your life figured out. Because we should only pay you enough for you to have petty cash - for bingo or something."

So, yes. hospitality workers in Cali SHOULD unionize. & continue to demand better pay & treatment. But so should hospitality & service workers everywhere.

& if you enjoy having hospitality & service workers to make your life easier - treat them with kindness. I don't care if they forgot to act chipper & smile. I don't care if they accidentally got your order wrong. I don't care if the front desk didn't state you're a double platinum rewards member & didn't offer you turn-down service.

TREAT. THEM. WITH. KINDNESS. & TIP THEM.

because i've not seen a lot of coverage on it, hotel workers in LA are on strike right now, too:

The Ultimate Checklist: 8 Things Your Property Damage Claim Lawyer Will Need

Experiencing property damage can be overwhelming, and filing an insurance claim is often just as stressful. To ensure you receive the compensation you deserve, hiring a property damage claim lawyer can make all the difference. Lawyers who specialize in property damage claims know how to navigate the process, communicate with insurance companies, and help you avoid common pitfalls. But before you dive in, it's crucial to know what your lawyer will need from you.

Here’s an ultimate checklist of eight things your property damage claim lawyer will need to handle your case effectively:

1. Detailed Incident Report

One of the first things your lawyer will ask for is a detailed report of the incident that caused the property damage. Whether it's from a storm, fire, flood, or other unforeseen event, your lawyer needs specifics about what happened. Be sure to include dates, times, locations, and a summary of how the damage occurred. This information helps your lawyer build a strong case and argue for the full compensation you're entitled to.

2. Insurance Policy

Your property damage claim lawyer will also need a copy of your insurance policy. Understanding the terms, coverage limits, and exclusions is essential for determining what compensation you're eligible for. Make sure you provide a full copy of the policy, not just the declaration page, so your lawyer can thoroughly review your coverage. This will help in negotiations with the insurance company.

3. Photographs and Videos

Visual evidence is key when filing property damage claims. Your lawyer will need photos and videos of the damaged property to present to the insurance company. Take pictures from multiple angles and ensure that the extent of the damage is clear. If possible, provide photos of the property before the damage occurred for comparison.

4. Repair Estimates

Your lawyer will need quotes or estimates from licensed contractors for repairing or replacing the damaged property. These estimates serve as the baseline for the amount you should be compensated. Be sure to get multiple estimates if possible to give your property damage claim lawyer a strong foundation for negotiations with the insurance company.

5. Receipts and Invoices

If you've already made temporary repairs or incurred other costs related to the damage, such as staying in a hotel while your home is being fixed, your lawyer will need receipts or invoices. These expenses may be reimbursed by your insurance, but only if they're documented. Keep all receipts organized and ready to hand over to your lawyer.

6. Communication Records with the Insurance Company

A crucial part of the process is proving that you’ve communicated with your insurance company in a timely and responsible manner. Your property damage claim lawyer will need copies of emails, letters, and notes from phone conversations with the insurer. These records help establish that you’ve fulfilled your obligations and that the insurance company is aware of the claim.

7. Property Appraisals

If available, past appraisals or assessments of your property’s value can be useful. They help your lawyer argue for a fair settlement by showing the property's worth before the damage occurred. While appraisals aren't always necessary, they can be an added advantage in complex cases or where the value of the property is disputed.

8. Public Adjuster Reports

If you've hired a public adjuster in Florida to assist with your claim, their report is essential. Public adjusters specialize in evaluating property damage and advocating for a fair settlement from your insurance company. A public adjuster in Florida can provide a comprehensive report of the damage and estimate the costs for repairs, which will be invaluable for your lawyer when building a strong case. These reports are highly detailed and can bolster your position during negotiations.

Why Time Matters: Don’t Delay!

Property damage claims come with deadlines, and time is of the essence. If you wait too long to file a claim or hire a lawyer, you risk losing the compensation you deserve. Insurance companies are known for delaying tactics, but your property damage claim lawyer can push to move the process forward quickly. Acting swiftly can also ensure that evidence is preserved and that you stay within the time limits set by your policy or state law.

If you're considering hiring a public adjuster in Florida, don’t hesitate to do so. A public adjuster can handle the evaluation process, allowing your lawyer to focus on negotiations and legal strategy.

Final Thoughts

When dealing with property damage, it’s essential to have the right support on your side. A property damage claim lawyer will streamline the claims process and maximize your chances of getting full compensation. By gathering these eight essential items—an incident report, insurance policy, photos, repair estimates, receipts, communication records, property appraisals, and public adjuster reports—you’ll give your lawyer the tools they need to fight for you.

Don't let time slip away. Reach out to a property damage claim lawyer and, if necessary, a public adjuster in Florida, to get started on your claim immediately.

[rut-ro]

... 9 years later

I realized today that Tumblr still exists (!!) and that I started a hand-full of short lived blogs. Reading those old posts, I'm kind of impressed with myself. (Is that allowed?) Who wrote this, it's not half bad!

This one is my fav. Rut Ro! I was in a rut after moving to Amsterdam, struggling to look for a job in 2014. This blog helped me stay motivated and now 9 years later (in spongebob voice) I'm in a rut again.

Somehow writing my thoughts down in a blog feels so different than writing in my journal. My journals are filled with wild rants and negative thoughts in my worst moments. Maybe because they're on pages of paper that no one will ever read, I feel safe to unleash my worst self. A blog has that possibility of being read. Even if it's read by only one person, a stranger who doesn't know me, I want to be on my best written behavior(?) But I still want to be authentic and maybe impress that one person with my wit and obvious intelligence. ;)

I guess a rut every 9 years isn't too bad.

This is how I ended up here and what's happened since the last post.

Work:

Left that job I found 9 years ago because of a visa issue. The HR person was not interested in helping me and wouldn't permit me to go back to the office after I left one Friday and never returned (not even to collect my things). Hired an immigration lawyer and we won the appeal 1 year later. Probably the best career move to happen to me that I didn't do for myself.

After panicking about being unemployed again, I got a job freelancing for Philips and never left. Started as a UX designer and moved up to UX lead. Joined as a fulltime employee to build out the digital design team when the domestic appliance division split off, becoming Versuni 2 years ago.

Now on burnout leave after simultaneously building, then rebuilding the digital design team, helping educate the global design team on digital/UX design, leading multiple app projects, and taking part in the company's digital transformation projects. It was a lot. I'm now just starting to return to work, carefully.

Thus my current rut but I have a therapist this time!

Friends:

Made lots of friends in the last years. Some stayed, some didn't. Some became very close. Burnout has affected the social events and people I hangout with now. I also think getting older and more settled within myself also made me appreciate the ones who have been there for me when I really needed it (and didn't know it).

I'm not good at asking for help. Wasn't taught to do it and wasn't encouraged to need help when I was young. Still learning how to do it. So when people called and brought me food and kept me company during the difficult times, its surprising to me. I'm a lucky person to have these friends (you know who you are).

Family:

My mom remarried and my sister has grown up. My dad's health steadily declines at a medium pace but he remains positive about life. I was running from them when I moved away and now I'm starting to open up to them more.

I'm seeing a lot more social media and media in general about the immigrant experience. Especially about Asians growing up in western communities. It's so crazy to think that we were all having similar experiences at the same time in the 80s and 90s. And now that we're the "adults" who rebelled/fought/suffered/lived through it, we can create content about it. I guess when it comes to this topic, I still don't feel like an adult. I'm still the Chinese kid growing up in LA confused about her identity. And to add to that now living in the Netherlands for 11 years. Who am I and where do I really belong? Still working on that one too.

Romance:

This one is hard to write about. Had a couple bad breakups. Very dramatic ones that I won't go into details about. I learned from each one. Codependency was a hard but incredibly valuable lesson to learn. Interdependency, that's what I've been working on. Lots of habits to change, unlearn and relearn. Communication and being vulnerable are difficult and important things to do in a relationship (romantic or not). I learned that you don't have to do them well all the time, it's more of a practice.

My new relationship is the healthiest one I've ever had. We both have a learner's mind and actually want to learn from and understand each other. What a concept!

Inner peace:

I think I lost my way a little bit on this one. When I started freelancing, it was also when I became single after a long time, I decided to study yoga seriously. Went almost everyday for many years. Learned that it's more than physical movement and stretching my body into impressive looking poses. Stepped into the spiritual stories, meditation, and ayurvedic lifestyle a little bit. With that, learning how to create/communicate boundaries for myself, and living on my own (again) in a foreign country, I felt like I ate a mushroom and leveled up my life.

I felt so free and confident. I prioritised traveling and visiting with friends. I got my yoga teaching certification. I started studying yoga therapy and other forms of yoga.

Where did I lose myself? I think when I decided to put all that aside to focus on my so called career.

What now:

I guess I feel quite negatively about that decision because of how it's turned out. I might feel differently in another 9 years. It was part of a bigger plan. I wanted to accomplish a few things.

Own a home

Level up my position (difficult to do while freelancing, you end up getting the same positions/projects most of the time)

Get paid to learn new things instead of paying for my own training and struggle to get experience

After that go back to freelancing and focusing on my inner peace, gain experience teaching yoga, and eventually exit corporate world to become a yoga teacher/therapist of some sort.

I did do all three! But it doesn't feel like I succeeded.

Dammit!

If this isn't the biggest example/lesson in "it's about the journey, not the destination" then I don't know what is.

Not saying my way here was all terrible. It wasn't. But it did cost me my inner peace and mental health.

I'm lucky to have friends and a partner who support me with hugs, food, their time, kind words, and love.

Now I'm trying to retrace what I did back then when I felt free and confident (only a few years ago). After writing this, I see it. I need to bring back my inner peace practices while focusing on work. Maybe focus even more on my personal practices because work will happen anyway.

My practices:

Yoga with a touch of spiritual mindfulness

Meditation

Breaks to see friends near and far

Learning both for my career and for myself

Nurture my friendships while also having boundaries

Approaching work with less attachment and more boundaries

Ask for help and ask loudly (new)

Onward and upward. Thanks for reading.

you ever think about how they hired twins to play the triplets that dean and crowley have sex with. I feel like that right there is proof that they're not queerbaiting, because no one could possibly be baited by that because 99 percent of everyone didn't even notice it. They just put it in there cause dean's bi and they write him as bi.

It’s funny, for whatever reason I was thinking last night about how my own personal definition of the way the show may or may not queerbait has changed over the seasons, and it’s not just to do with personal growth but the way the show is written and the way they are handling things. 

My impression of how it all felt in the start of season 10 was utter disbelief that they were so on the nose about Dean and Crowley, and I know not everyone wants to/does think that they hooked up, but there’s some stuff the show pushed there that in some ways it would have no other excuse to do and I went cold on Drowley several times after feeling like the handling was sweeping it under the rug, writing it off as villainous queerness or other ways to distance Dean from it like suggesting he wasn’t in control or roofied by being a demon, that thankfully at least was not how Crowley died on the show, with 12x15 giving us the last example of how that dynamic had matured, and it WAS matured, and at least in terms of respecting that Dean n Crowley had once eloped, was about as good as it could get. And I think owning that the dynamic wasn’t a sense of that time being abusive was important given how much Dean and Crowley interacted and behaved towards each other AFTER, as well as exactly how we were supposed to read whether Dean should feel violated or smug or nostalgic about it all (and he did flash between them depending on the season or episode in the time after). But at the start of season 10 this whole journey was really only just beginning. 

Obviously people had written about the queercoding and Crowley’s seduction before then, but in very careful metaphorical terms, and as much as it was suggestive in season 9, the fact is that without season 10 it could easily remain a metaphorical ~seduction to evil~ where this was written in terms of romantic seduction - except for where it was fatherly or brotherly - but 10x01 smashed that and made it really really clear that you could read that Dean and Crowley had been hooking up, even independent of the twins/triplets subtext. Specifically when Crowley is annoyed Dean and Ann-Marie hooked up in his bed, and Ann-Marie tells him and Dean to get a room, and he’s like, we had one. Of course you can pretend that not everything Crowley says is innuendo (and room = specifically the bed), but that exchange had a lot of jealousy and a lot about his and Dean’s *personal* relationship, as much as the other stuff was about the more wild stuff they shared with others while howling at the moon. Which was part of the longer term emotional game Crowley was playing about their business relationship and Dean being his scary consort and them sort of going exclusive >.> 

And in that context, Crowley mentions they’d done some memorable stuff to triplets together, and on rewatching you catch they’re hanging out with twins in the bar before that, but the wider context was this absolute explosion of queer subtext and borderline text and a dynamic that needed concentrated work to not come to the conclusion they’d been fucking all summer, with and without buddies of whatever gender with them. Focusing on the male twins in the background as a hint that Dean had had sex with men is ignoring where Crowley directly implies they’d been hooking up and now he wanted to go exclusive with Dean as the hugest neon sign that, yes, Dean has been having sex with at least one man, regardless of the gender of the triplets. Like, I know people were like hurr blurr the triplets could have been women, #no homo, sometimes men sleep with triplets together like bros. Which traps us into hyperfocusing on what the triplets were and using them as the definitive proof, when in fact the reason triplets were being banged in the first place was because Dean and Crowley were banging all the time everywhere up and down seedy bars in America, and Dean didn’t want the good times to end, while Crowley wanted the d all for himself now pls. 

And considering that’s the thing under the paper thin surface that you can remotely pretend that Dean only slept with women and he and Crowley were just hanging out the entire time, regardless of no matter how much more subtext the show piled on later, less close to the surface but with more confidence that everyone knew Dean had banged Crowley and the only way any of this worked any more was that that had happened, even just when we only had 10x01 to work with, the whole Dean n Crowley thing was so enormous that you can’t just speculate on what the twins were to approach to what degree was this queerbaiting or not. The twins are a detail that you can pick up on and speculate on if you look deeper, as they know we sometimes do. I’m not saying they’re NOT an aspect of this, but they’re a relatively buried easter egg of subtext compared to, say, Crowley sobbing over his flickr albums in the next episode :P

To what degree Drowley was queerbaiting is the real question, and since Crowley is now consigned to the show’s history books, we have the full story in a way. In the context of what we have now, I don’t think overall, all comments included, the show ever pretended, even when distancing Dean from it, even when painting it as abusive or Dean having diminished responsibility, that Dean and Crowley did *not* bang. I think there are multiple comments which as long as you are permissive that Dean would have could have probably did, that in seasons 11 and 12 pretty clearly indicate a memory of having slept together one point or another, especially 11x23 and 12x15 with overt references to sexual things from Crowley to Dean, or 11x07 and the implication that over a year later Dean still has Crowley’s answerphone messages from howling at the moon, and knows and remembers details of his personal life fondly. (I don’t think that’s the only time Bobo wrote them like that but that’s the one that springs to mind :P)

Buuut they never showed them on screen in such a way that could be seen from the moon as them together, like actually showing them IN a sexual relationship while Dean was a demon, or having Dean confirm Crowley’s innuendo with more than the usual reactions where he gets plausible deniability to any gay stuff going on. And SOME of that I think MAY be to do with the problems with the villainous queerness slant, and the way it was at times framed as abusive/Dean lacking control. Because they would not commit to exploring the aftermath of that relationship SERIOUSLY, i.e. making it clear they had slept together when Dean was a demon, and him on-screen dealing with how that made him feel and how he felt about Crowley, and even, god forbid, his own sexuality, the best they could do to resolve it was to establish eventually a sort of civil exes dynamic, both aware of their history, but not harping on it, even if Crowley remained somewhat to entirely besotted by Dean for the rest of his time on the show. The lack of handling it seriously means it stays as a somewhat jokey subtext later on, and they can play it off as no harm no foul by the end of season 11 and through season 12. 

I think in that vein it also eventually contributed to Crowley being sidelined and eventual downfall, because he was trapped in the subtext of being Dean’s ex and all the enormous complications that made between them and for his personal life, again without being able to explore it or leave a lasting, openly discussed impact on him. He no longer directly antagonised them, but he couldn’t cross any lines which made him human or part of the team for more than passing moments because the longer he was around Dean the more awkward it got and the more it would beg them to explore what, exactly, were Dean and Crowley now, and the obvious issues that would have/could have arisen if we discussed this like adults and we were allowed to just textually state in a frank and open way that Dean had been seduced by Crowley that one time. 

And I think in terms of where that puts us, it means that Drowley was very much a stifled relationship, officially over and no chance of getting it back, which in some ways is as large as or larger then Destiel in the weight it puts on the show when it comes to answering queerbaiting charges, because it could never be addressed openly while Crowley was alive, still ISN’T acknowledged, and Dean is as closeted as he was before, despite in his actual living human memory, knowing what it’s like to bang Crowley on the side for 3 months of his life with no direct personal growth (that is: now banging Cas, happily, or even banging other random guys, no angst, just for fun hook ups, equivalent to the textual times he picks up women) to show for this wild college experimentation metaphor phase of his life. 

At this point you really can only change the final judgement on it by making Dean canonically bi and then giving him the character growth, acknowledging the role Crowley had played in it, and allowing him to live what had just been subtext as a textual part of his character. In all other respects, I think the fact that Dean subtextually has hooked up with Crowley, and presumably other men probably other than the male implied triplets we saw on screen as well, but it’s relegated to this one particular part of his story and locked up in the subtext box, is going to look absolutely like one of the show’s worst sins of queerbaiting if we get to the end and that box is never opened again. And not to say it all looks rosy while we wait until the hypothetical what if of textualising Dean’s bisexuality and trying to live a positive life of hoping that will happen. As it stands, the handling in the text is depressing, and speaks of how far the show will currently allow any queer relationship for Dean to go. Meaning a worst case scenario is that his borderline subtextual marriage to Cas may never move beyond a similar point if this remains the high water mark of the show’s willingness to show Dean in a genuine, sexual relationship with a man. And that’s something you have to at least think about, in terms of how it looks now, and how it might look one day, no matter how positive you are about the endgame of the show, when it comes to being realistic about the show’s queerbaiting, or at least perceived queerbaiting if you don’t believe they are. That’s what other people are seeing, both with Drowley and Destiel. 

I mean, that deleted scene in 10x14 says it best: Cas and Crowley trapped together, frustrated and living in angry despair in their competition over Dean, where he is busy not picking either of them, while they vie for his attention and consider each other his boyfriend in all but name, and yet he will not commit to either of them in the way they desire. And this is the same frustrated wall that Cas is still stuck bouncing up against, even when his romantic rival is *utterly* vanquished and removed from the narrative, and hadn’t even really been competing for Dean for like 2 seasons before that.

Doing EVERYTHING different - TuneTrade skips ICO, asks for nothing from community. Now as public beta begins - they're set to break 100K token holders!

This isn't your typical story of a blockchain startup, in every way imaginable. The path usually taken clearly hasn’t led to enough positive results to make the case that it’s a mistake to go another way - with that in mind, they threw out all the rules when it comes to launching a new token, and the project behind it. For example you probably immediately thought 'ICO' upon reading the words ‘startup’ and 'token’.. but no, there will be no ICO. Then surely, it's safe to assume they must be making the rounds pitching their concept to VC's, doing a standard 'series A' round of investments... but no, everyone on the team is too busy building to be distracted with that right now. Okay, then this must just be something that's so early in its development it's nothing more than a "concept" and a bunch of hype, with a 50/50 chance of ever even happening… but wait... it’s already here! Public beta testing has already began - anyone can try it right now! INTRODUCING TUNETRADE! When I say they've thrown out all the rules I wasn't kidding, and that doesn't stop with how TuneTrade planned their launch - it continues into what TuneTrade actually is. TuneTrade's platform is rich with powerful tools, and they’re putting them into the hands of anyone who wants them. This isn't an exaggeration, we're talking about something that can fundamentally change the entire landscape of the cryptocurrency and blockchain world. Until now, even the vast majority of people who would consider themselves ‘expert cryptocurrency traders’ wouldn't know where to begin if you asked them how to create a cryptocurrency token themselves. The day TuneTrade launches, that changes forever. TuneTrade transforms the process of creating a token into something so easy that any brand, artist, start-up, or individual that wants one of their own can do it in minutes! If you believe the future is tokenized, TuneTrade is a massive leap towards this theory becoming reality. CREATION TO DISTRIBUTION, POWERED BY TUNETRADE. To the TuneTrade user, all that power is hidden behind a sleek and easy to use interface.  The complex process of writing a smart contract and creating a token becomes as simple as naming it, deciding how many to create, and filling out the additional metadata like the author and website to associate it with. Then, with the push of a button TuneTrade works it's magic, seconds later, you've created your own cryptocurrency! Don't let the simplicity fool you, this is the real deal - an ERC20 token on the Ethereum blockchain! The creator also maintains full ownership and control over all of their tokens. YOU ARE NOW THE FOUNDER OF A CRYPTOCURRENCY, THE NEXT STEP IS GETTING IT OUT THERE! TuneTrade could have stopped at the token creation tool and still launched with plenty of excitement. But like we said, TuneTrade isn't a normal startup. Imagine how much easier managing a new cryptocurrency would be if you had the ability to automate parts of the distribution process. Need to issue a set amount of tokens to someone on a specific date in the future? Maybe a long term partner you need to send 1000 tokens to per month for the next 12 months?  TuneTrade users have the ability to schedule it all, and consider it done! Last but not least is that big question that can make or break a token - “how can I get my token on an exchange?” Well, TuneTrade IS also an exchange  -  all you need to do is list it! DON'T LET THE NAME FOOL YOU: TuneTrade can be used by literally anyone - the music world just presents the first and most obvious use case. Today's modern musicians, record labels, and their management are no strangers to digital/virtual goods. Implementing cryptocurrency into a business and culture that's been selling MP3 files instead of CDs for quite some time is a natural evolutionary step. From the cool-factor of fans owning and trading official artist coins, to marketing purposes such as artists offering token based rewards for purchasing their music or merchandise, along with ways to then spend those tokens, and enjoy special benefits for being a token holder. This is the superfan of the future. But music is just the beginning - TuneTrade is available for anyone to use!   Anyone who can come up with a way to use a cryptocurrency token can have one. Retail stores, Restaurants, online storefronts, tech startups, nonprofits - the possibilities are endless. The most exciting part may be finding out what the public will build once given the tools. OFF TO AN UNSTOPPABLE START: Beginning with a rock solid foundation that is  TuneTrade's team, and community. The TuneTrade team came together in a variety of ways, from meeting years ago working at previous jobs in tech, to standing in line next to each other at blockchain conferences. Here you find TuneTrade’s secret - a self sufficient team with every skill needed from coding and engineering, to marketing and logistics - TuneTrade’s core leadership is comprised of experts in their respective fields. This means all bases covered - without hiring a single outsider. As the project grew it was often as simple as identifying what needs to be done next, and someone saying 'I know the perfect person to do it' - one phone call later, the team would have a new member! While everyone involved has some past successes of their own and necessary expenses can be covered with private funding, TuneTrade’s real funding is the same currency that built Silicon Valley - blood, sweat and tears. Think back to the early days of our modern tech revolutionaries, powered by coffee and food delivery, grinding away until the sun began to rise the next morning.  The same determined and focused mindset can be found within TuneTrade. TUNETRADE’S ROADMAP LEADS STRAIGHT TO THE HIGHWAY… For a project that hasn’t even officially launched yet, TuneTrade’s growth is downright incredible. They have been (and continue to) reward users who help give the beta platform a test run and spread the word, with small airdrops of their native TXT token - here’s what’s been accomplished so far: TuneTrade TXT Token held in 75,000+ wallets. Over 90,000+ users in their telegram channel. Nearly 8000 Twitter Follows. UP NEXT: Official Launch as the site goes live and the platform moves over to the main Ethereum blockchain! Token listing - The excitement in the cryptocurrency world has TuneTrade already in talks with multiple exchanges interested in listing their token - including some of the top ones that rarely would consider a project this new - have reached out! New outreach focused on the Korean market. Official TuneTrade anthem song by the Coin Bros.
