Welcome to Steemit!
Thanks for sharing part of your story with your introduction post. I just started trading crypto about a month ago. I've seen quite a bit of success in that short time. I hope to continue, as I also feel stuck where I am.
If you haven't already, I recommend that you experiment with the Bitshare Decentralized Exchange. http://OpenLedger.io is a good place to start.
There are a lot of people here on Steemit who are into Bitshares. There are some good article here, too. I'd be great to connect with you more.
I wish you success here!
