This was supposed to be published on the 6th of April, but I was not feeling well so that's why I was kinda late.

Eight months have passed, and here I am, still writing and sharing my stuff on this platform. Do you want to know what it means? Well, it simply means that I am still super in love with everything on this platform. That even after 8 long months, the struggles of being unnoticed by my boyfie, every girl's boyfie, the bot, I'm still doing my thing here, as well as trying out new things that I never thought I would be doing.

Eight months ago, I only came here for the love of writing. Of course, I also came here to earn. But after eight months, I don't just write random stuff anymore, I also learned to explore other things aside from sharing my typical day-to-day stories in life. From being a frustrated writer, I also learned how to trade (just the basics, though), do spot trading, own my first-ever charity box, collect NFTs and create some, as well as making more connections aka friends.

Learned to trade

I never thought I could trade, but I did. Although my trading skills are still the worst of the worst, I would still say that my experience taught me something, and that is never to be impulsive in everything I do.

I learned to trade a few months back when a friend of mine introduced to me the trading app, Stormgain. I would say this is a great training ground because aside from its demo account, you can also mine every 4 hours and use that for your first live trading.

I almost made it to $50 profit, but then due to my poor decision-making, I lost everything in just a snap. So if you guys want to be a successful trader, I suggest you do a lot of research first. Learn the basics, the chart, etc because if you only rely on your guts, that would make you lose everything.

Spot trading

My first few attempts on spot trading were epic failed. LOL. But thanks to @Eybyoung, she wrote an article specifically for spot trading and that helped me fully understand everything. Since then, I started earning on spot trading. It's not much but at least I'm gaining something.

If you guys want to learn spot trading, check Eybyoung's profile, and you'll find her article there.

Charity Box

I am proud to say that I am the first to start a charity on noise.cash. This charity that I first started on January 16 has already helped 10 beneficiaries and will continue to help more. Although I stopped promoting my charity box on noise, this is still active and still saving BCH for this cause.

NFTs

From being a collector, now, I'm minting my own NFTs and already sold a few. The WAX I earned was also used to sell RAM to my friends. In fact, I have sold 15 WAX already to my friends for just a few BCH.

Connections

Aside from my Kiki and Club1BCH fam, I also have my NFT fam who have always been there to support me. No idea what I did to deserve all this support, but it's really shocking to know that they are willing to share their knowledge with a stranger like me. Some of my connections who are now my friends would even send me some of their cool stuff for free.

Closing thoughts

In my eight months, I don't just earn BCH, I learned quite lot, meet awesome people from the different side of the world, and make good memories with them. I hope to spend more months and even years on this platform. I also hope my friends will soon find these platforms worth a try so they too could earn and learn something.
