Well before I want to say anything else I want to say thank you to all you guys: thank you for the crazy resonance, thank you for nearly 10k views and thank you for 60 subscribers. I didn't expected this when I started blogging a month ago just out of interest and to publish my thoughts somewhere.
But for now let's move on.
Down the Rabbit Hole
Some weeks ago just before the big crash I realised that I have some BTC on freebitco.in. I got them years ago from faucets and totally forgot about them. When I found them they where worth about 150$ and I cashed them out. My interest in crypto was re-sparked (sadly I don't kept farming faucets back in 2016 haha) and I started researching assets, market places, faucets, ...
I lost the 150$ but learnt a lot and decided to invest some money every week into crypto. I will write a post on how I've lost my initial free crypto and what lessons I've learned during my first steps into crypto in the near future - so be sure to stay tuned and hit this like button.
After some days of investing hours of hours on faucets, research and trading I basically decided to stop most of my activity because it was just scam or not worth the time. Right now I'm only using freebitcoin, BetFury boxes and publish0x tips to generate some free crypto and play Splinterlands because I'm in love with TCG (yes I was one of these Magic nerds back in school haha) and really like the idea of owning your cards and being able to sell or even rent them.
What I concentrate on is mainly long-term investing. I've chosen some assets which I think are good bets in the crypto world and stake them with the plan to hodl. On the side I'm playing around with DeFi especially on Polygon, but it's more an experiment and out of curiosity. Polycat is a great address for Yield Farming in my opinion.
One really important point I want to highlight here: despite my interest and belief in crypto I got only some percents of my net worth in crypto. I've always got money for 1-3 months on my bank savings account if some unexpected happens. Around 90% of my net worth are invested in MSCI based ETFs and only 5-10% are invested in crypto!
Nevertheless I would say I'm down the rabbit hole and won't get out that fast haha. It's just a too fascinating, fast evolving industry!
Earnings Report
After some weeks of exploration I started to blog and not only tip on publish0x to share my thoughts on assets, news or earning opportunities. Pretty exactly one month ago I've published my first article. Since then I wrote 13 articles which were clicked nearly 10,000 times. I'm still completely overwhelmed! Of course some posts performed better, others worse. At some days I've time to write two articles, on many other days I haven't got time at all. But that's okay, because it's for fun and to get in touch with the crypto community.
What I want to show is that if you're interesting in writing and publishing: just do it! You mostly get good advices and comments on your posts which sometimes help out a lot. Of course it is also fun to see these numbers getting higher:

Thank you!
So again: thank you for your interest, all those likes and tips. I really appreciate this. I would love to get in touch with you - so if you have any questions to any of my articles or to me - just ask.
I'm looking forward to a second exciting month here,
