Believe me, you _don't_ feel the same way.
People that get theses symptoms have to stay in bed all day, for months. Some can't even cut carrots without needing a 15-30 minutes break.

That might not be what you want to hear, but 70k in NYC is a bad salary..
Why wuld you want a side hustles when you can double your salary ? That may not be easy, but it's doable. Side hustles: improves; so you can get a good salary.

I have the exact same experience.
It took about 100 days before my wife could start working again, and she is still experiencing chest pain, breathlessness and fatigue (at first symptoms + 115 days).
She was told to endure and rest. What a great plan.

It does not mean you have sacrificed happiness. You can (I hope) be happy without drinking.

I though the 300$ price was already taking future profitability into account. It was the explanation for that high price at the time.

> It meant random data from the same domain - simulated price/volume data within a reasonable range
How do you know what is a reasonable range without hypothesis on the price distribution ?
Where does these hypothesis comes from ? historical data ?
So.. is that really valid ?
