Just very recently on April 28, one of my favorite writer/blogger on this platform, ate @Eirolfeam2, published an article entitled "My Plan B When It's Time to Say Goodbye to Rusty ". She stated there her the estimations of the time that the read.cash or Rusty the generous bot will run out of funds. You can read her article for more thorough explanations. But to sum it up, we, read.cash writers will got to enjoy writing and publishing in this amazing platform until May or June 2024, 2.37 years away.
She added that maybe, the funds will run out earlier than expected which is ~2 years remaining because the value of Bitcoin Cash has been really low and continues to be low even until now and no one really knows when it'll go back to the price where it usually used to (~$500).
With that being said, she shared her plans if ever Rusty will kiss goodbye.
Because of her article, I was able to do some reflections and realizations. And it inspired me to plan for myself as well if ever this platform will not run anymore like it used to.
As a mere student, this platform has been one of my main source of income for many months now. So I think it's really nice if I have a plan B and what will be
Let's say that after 2 years, April 2024, this runs out of funds already... By that time, I think I am going to be in my 4th year of college. Here are some of my plans if that time comes...
Find other Blogging Platforms where I could earn
It doesn't matter if I'll earn crypto or fiat currency. What matters is that I'll be able to have another platform wherein I will have another outlet again to share my creativity and thoughts through the form of writing.
One platform that I know is Hive. I've already created an account there months ago but the website seems to overwhelm me so I didn't get to continue writing there. But maybe someday I'll try again.
Continue with my other Side Hustles
Since I have started my read.cash & noise.cash journey, I somehow lose my focus on my other side hustles because I treated read.cash & noise.cash to be my side hustle priority. But if ever read.cash is gone, maybe I will try to focus on those side hustles of mine again.
Focus on my academics and building my skills
This is my third option... to not think about side hustles for a while, instead, I will focus on my academic and building skills related to my course such as doing Photoshop, AutoCAD, rendering architectural projects, and so on. I believe that investing in those skills is going to be worth it in the future. I could apply to freelance sites like Fiverr, Upwork, etc. with a first-world country salary.
Sometimes, I think about what would it feels like to be like other students who only focus on their studies and do not have to think about side hustles... š¤ I got used to having a side hustle already since I was 17 and I don't think I could go back to the time when I wasn't earning. I love the feeling of having an income even just a little.
Closing Thought
Those are my plan A, B, and C if ever read.cash is gone or if ever Rusty the bot will no longer shower tips because it already runs out of funds.
This is not about being a pessimist, but just being ready for the possibility. I still hope that read.cash will go on for many more years because it is such a huge help for every user.
How about you, guys? Have you already thought about what to do if ever those things will happen? Let me know through the comment section.
