"My crypto portfolio is down...What do I do?" Investing in crypto markets requires discipline and patience. Through my near 10 year foray into crypto, I've experienced and tried all of the methods out there. In the very beginning when all of the Crypto Noobs were swarming into the building like cockroaches, all of the so-called "gurus" would tell you "invest what you can afford to lose." There would be others who were self-proclaimed "maximalists" who had hands of steel: "hodl or die!" I…
What happens when you self-tax yourself 30% of your income, while chipping away at your debts, and living below your means? The results are not surprising, but difficult to implement! Robert Kiyosaki often says to "pay yourself first." Among everything out of his book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," that parable was one that stayed with me the most. It often drives me to continue along with the process, which I will get into later on in this article. Personal Finance is something that is never taught in school until you are either…
Finally Over $5,000! It Finally happened...My M1Finance Portfolio grew to over $5,000 — all from just investing 10% of my income bi-weekly into it. I haven't had any referral income from any of my M1Finance links but regardless, I finally broke the $5k mark. It's always fun hitting milestones, especially 1k at a time; even though I know that it is an overheated market and that the whole portfolio may come down at any point. Nevertheless. I'm ecstatic to continue with my disciplined approach of dollar-cost averaging into shares and…
Since last month's Asset Report found on my other blog at Divi Monopoly (rebranded), I have had a steady increase in NAV all across the board. Today we are going to be taking a look into my Crypto Portfolio, some winning trades I've made, and the pivot towards Alpha as opposed to Staking. February's Month End Crypto Portfolio: Since then, my portfolio has steadily increased as a result of some winning trades, cash accrual, and unrealized capital gains. Here is a snapshot of some of my winning trades. What I'm looking for i…
Hustling is scrappy. It requires grit, and sometimes it also requires you to get out of your comfort zone and do things that no one else wants to do. Collecting coins is something that I picked up, and adopted, from Dividend Investing forums. In these forums I found that many dividend investors had similar types of hobbies which included collecting and saving coins from wherever they can find, then investing the collections quarterly or by the end of the year. These investors then pool their coins together, bring them to the bank, and cash ou…
This past week, I received my second win on Yotta Savings! For those in the know, I wrote a blog post talking about my first Yotta win; you can read that here . Yotta is a new savings type of account with a lower risk-free way of winning rewards based on a lottery ticket system. You get a ticket for every deposit you put into the account, or when you refer new members. As you get new tickets, the higher the chances you have of winning. This past week, I joined a large pool where everyone pools their tickets and shares the prize pool with their…
I got started with Yotta Savings towards the end of 2020 and I wished I had started earlier! If you don't know, Yotta Savings is a new savings vehicle with a twist! It is a Y-Combinator engined startup where it mirrors the safety of FDIC-Insured Savings depository accounts with the adrenaline of gambling (with limited risk). Click here to read more ! Month-end January of this year 2021, I got my first win! Although it was just $0.10, I was ecstatic because I love the idea of dividends and the principle of compounding interest. I love h…
The future sounds bright for Crypto enthusiasts out there. On an asset level, a lot of institutions are opening up to the idea of investing or trading in cryptocurrency, and is slowly enmeshing with the inner workings of the stock market as well. Within the last 4 days, Blackrock, one of the largest asset managers in the world with assets in excess of $18 Trillion, has decided to enter into the Bitcoin Futures market . Two of their funds: Blackrock Strategic Income Opportunities and Blackrock Global Allocation will be greenlit to participate …
I got mail from one of my banking platforms today, and upon opening it, found a prequalification letter about how I may be eligible for a low rate total student loan consolidation at an APR of 2.99% variable. I knew better than to entertain this sort of offer and I succinctly threw it in the trash, but it had me wondering whether the math stacks up? If the math works out, I may end up picking the piece of letter out of the trash and giving them a try. But if it doesn't, I will continue to dump it further in the trash and give you the scoop…
