Good morning.

Well it is hard to not know what is going on at the moment with all the SEC news (although there are a few on Reddit!) but it has made me wonder if it has made you change your opinion on crypto at all? Are you going to ride the storm? Or are you going to bail out?

For me personally it has not, we are both still enthusiastic about crypto, although the number of expletives used in our house when talking about Mr Gensler is way higher than normal.  

What it has done is strengthen my Bitcoin position, yes I went on a buying spree. Revolut tried to stop me, well it would not let my transaction go through but where there is a will, there is a way. I did speak to Revolut but they would not divulge much information on the subject but did say they had no intention of stopping you earn crypto with your spare change.

Also when Binance stopped their simple earn we swapped out most of our crypto that we had on there into either BTC or ETH and moved it. Some to the Ledger and some to Kucoin, all that is on Binance now is a few dollars of free bits. 

But back to Bitcoin, we have more than doubled our holdings, and some, and I do believe we have done the right thing, the ISA money that the bank finally found went into BTC too. The plan is to put more of the Bitcoin on to the Ledger as it unlocks from the earn programme it is currently in.

This is how our portfolio looks now.

Now I can hear some people saying already 'don't put all your eggs in one basket' but it does look to be the best basket at the moment.

This is what our portfolio looked like back in November 2022.

Now we are still earning IOT (that was HNT with Helium) but it is now so bad it does not even get put on the portfolio chart, I have 25 HNT staked for 6 months and the rest just gets converted to BTC as and when it builds up to a few dollars. The halving is in August for HNT and I can't see anything much happening with that. Someone on Reddit has said that HNT will go up after the halving 'just like BTC' does. If that happens I will eat my hat and post pictures! To put IOT/HNT into perspective I earn just over $1 a day with my free faucet/sites and $1.20 with IOT (No outlay with free stuff lol).

So that is where we are at the moment, but it is crypto so that could all change in an instant. I would love to hear your thoughts, even if you want to hit the thumbs down do so but tell me what you think.

As always, thank you for reading and feel free to comment.
