The Crypto.com Drama Continues I wanted to offer a follow up to last week's article, Crypto.com's New "Instant Deposit" Program - Not So Instant. After combing through the fine print that you don't get from their marketing emails or from any direct links on the website, I found out that you can access your funds in no more than seven business days. This fine print is located in some blog that covers their new products that one of their customer service reps so kindly sent me…
Three Months In Crypto - Our Little Secret It all started innocently enough right before Thanksgiving. With some free time on my hands, I decided to fire up an old laptop and see if I could mine any crypto with it. After doing some research I had found a software miner to download and install, that however came with a few challenges thanks to Windows defender and antivirus software. After navigating those minefields I did some more research on coins and decided to mine some…
Pig Slaughter - Disaster Launch of The Piggy Bank The Animal Farm was my first dive into Yield Farming. It was launched last month by ForexShark, a developer well known and trusted for projects such as The Drip Network. My first investment in the platform was in one of the Liquidity Pools that paired Binance Coin (BNB) with their native token DOGS. From this pool you earn their governance token PIGS which you can stake for the stable coin BUSD.…
Master Nodes - My Next Passive Income Adventure? I'm still relatively new into my crypo journey and my passion in the space lies in finding different ways to earn passive income. In mid-January I got into staking, a fairly easy way to earn some extra income on your crypto. In mid-February, I got into yield farming and quite honestly I still have a lot to figure out here with so many different platforms out there. Now in mid-March, I'm turning my attention to master nodes and…

Two "Safe" Passive Crypto Income Investments I Made Today To be honest, I like being somewhat risky with my crypto investments. I own a decent sized stock portfolio so my crypto holdings equate to about a third of one percent of my overall net worth. The bulk of my crypto investments are split between Bitcoin and Ethereum, however, I also have some yield farming investments and own a small amount in various altcoins. Now I'm wanting to increase my exposure to crypto,…
I've Been Plagiarized on Read.cash I logged into Read.cash yesterday to write a follow up to the article I wrote on Wednesday and there it was... On the main page, I saw a familiar article, it was my article from Wednesday except it wasn't.

Yield Farming Basics and Ten Platforms to Consider Yield Farming, at first, was the most overwhelming thing in crypto I have gotten involved with. Honestly, the concepts are relatively simple but my mind needed to go over the concepts many times to fully grasp them and for me to be somewhat comfortable jumping in. In reality, I'm not sure if it is any more difficult than mining crypto or dealing with nodes, perhaps those high APYs made it seem just to scary. At its most…
Crypto Diversification is Pointless As my bag of cryptocurrencies continues to grow, my morning routine of updating all the prices each day gets longer. One thing is pretty clear, every morning almost all of my holding tend to be either green or red. There are, of course, exceptions but about 90% are always the same color. If this is the case, what is the point of holding all these different coins? I didn't set out to hold so many different coins and tokens, it just kind of…
My Passive Income Crypto Portfolio Allocation Strategy Four months into my crypto journey and my overall strategy is finally starting to become clear. The first few months felt like I was navigating a ship through a thick fog until it became murky at best, with just hints of land on the horizon. It was really just about learning crypto, absorbing as much as I could and there is a lot to absorb as most of the readers will already know, before the sun started to peek through…

As Bitcoin goes, so does other crypto coin and tokens so it has been a positive few days all around for most cryptocurrency investors.

My Next Crypto Venture - Getting a Job With my early retirement one-year anniversary approaching in May I'm now wondering - is it time to unretire? Retiring early was a dream and I'm happy to have done so, no complaints in getting out of the "rat race". The first three months in retirement allowed me to spend all summer with my wife and kids. The next three months turned to taking care of my mom and mother-in-law, not how I envisioned retirement to go. At the six-month mark,…
