I published my first article on Publish0x on 25 June 2021. While this month hasn’t been as exhilarating as a certain billionaire shooting off into outer space, it was kind to me in an unprecedented way. Here’s my first month at Publish0x explained in figures:

- 27 posts, including 2 competition entries for Upland City and SwapSpace 

- Got myself a KuCoin account

- Won $20 worth of ETH from the Upland City competition 

- Together with my earnings from AMPL tokens, I made enough to accumulate 0.0143 ETH 

- Got myself a Gemini account

- Figured out how to transfer 0.0143 ETH from KuCoin to Gemini

- Cheered boisterously when 0.0103 ETH arrived safely at my Gemini account

- Converted 0.01 ETH successfully to SGD $27.89

- Withdrew this $27.89 to my local bank account

- Had the broadest grin on my face when this fiat currency arrived for me to transfer it to a tax-deferred account

Moving forward, I will be sure to keep ETH longer in my KuCoin and Gemini accounts to save on transaction fees. I just wanted to learn the ropes of converting AMPL tokens to cold, hard cash I could withdraw from my neighbourhood ATM machine.

The learning process was arduous for me, but I made it! I learnt so much about crypto in the process; I honed my resourcefulness and resilience; and I had a whale of a time.

My heart is full. Grateful to the max. Thanks to all of you out there who tipped and followed me. Your kindness and support are much appreciated.

How has your July been, everyone?
