Dear Ordinal Enjoyoor,

I am inscribing this message to humbly admit defeat, and ask that you may find the kindness in your heart to HELP me in my time of need. As I write this I'm deeply troubled that I've allowed this problem to fester and grow cancerous in the darkness. That ends now, consider this my "Coinfession".

Allow me to cut to the chase -- I've just been served a 14 days notice from my Landlord's attorney to pay my past due rent balance, in total of $21,855 USD, or face eviction (See Inscription ID: 880894f0907f4876eea3bcb2a5efe3bd9b2c3c8b2b27f5b3025c0be422f9c024i0). My older brother is the guarantor on my lease, as he is the only person in my entire family with the qualifying credit & income to get an apartment in New York City, and if I don't find a way to pay off this balance by the end of September, the debt will be sent to collections under his name, he will take a massive credit strike, have debt collectors come after him and I will ruin my relationship with the only family member I have that can in any way help support me. I've lived in NYC since 2009 and I've never faced any issues with eviction / rent nonpayment, I work in media and have been full-time self-employed since 2013 with my small scale production company. Even during COVID I was able to survive and make ends meet, however in 2021 I slowed down my "Web2" operations, distanced myself from those clients and became immersed full-time in Web3, making a sustainable income by trading NFTs and selling digital art. Unfortunately my luck in the space didn't last as long as I'd hoped, and as the bear market hit, I found myself devoid of work in web2 as well as sustainable income / work in web3. As of right now I have roughly $1000 to my name and I have $1700 in freelance income coming to me before the end of the month (~$2700 total).

The worst part of this story is that had I not touched NFTs or crypto trading this past bear market, I'd have exactly the amount to pay the full balance. I lost about $8,000 on bad NFT plays over the past year on Solana, I lost about ~$2000 buying the top of $OXBT and just shy of $15,000 attempting to learn how to leverage trade crypto on exchanges like ByBit and MEXC (which I failed miserably at).

During the bull market of 2021 I developed a full blown case of gambling addiction with NFTs and crypto, but didn't realize it until the bear market hit and I began to watch myself make poor financial decisions over and over again, chasing that high from the kind of gains only imaginable during the first "Solana Summer". At one point, at my lowest, I was burning free & spam NFTs to scrape together a few cents to try and get lucky playing Solcrash, overall sinking 300 SOL into the game.

I'm not attempting to blame web3 for my problems, I take 100% full responsibility & accountability for what were clearly terrible decisions in hindsight, having been blinded by greed and temptation. I realize this is probably the lamest, most pathetic broke-boy type shit to ever happen on Bitcoin, I am not proud of that. I'm an artist in the space who some of you may know, though most of you likely don't. I wasn't chosen for the first round of the Gamma Partner Program :/ although I am certainly on their radar. I don't want to rush a low effort project to raise funds, I don't want to shill you my "Alpha keys", this is not some elaborate hoax or scam, I have never and will never create a shitcoin, instead I decided to simply ask you for help, if you happen to have the luxury to do so.

If you made it this far & care to donate to support, it would be literally life changing for me, as I fear otherwise I may end up without a home. Part of me just wishes it all would end, as I'm struggling to find any scrap of light in my current darkness, but that is not an option either because I could never bear the weight of imposing that harm onto my family in this or any potential afterlife. If you've ever wanted to help save a life, or donate to a charitable cause for those in need, now would be quite the opportune moment for both of us. Love you Ordinals community.
