Yesterday marked the last day that I planned to drive to the Abbott factory, meaning that now I will have a lot more time to do other stuff besides paste a little stick of chromatograph paper on a cardboard shell for 12 hours a day so that some people can know with 90-some percent certainty whether or not they have COVID.

Yeah!

I had been putting it off for too long, but I wasted no time finally getting my DeFi game on when I read a post from our good friend PVMihalache, who recommended this platform called Pool by Cake DeFi. It seemed a little daunting over the summer, as that is when I dove into cryptospace, but this service makes it pretty much as easy as transferring your funds to an address. The default options automatically compound everything for you so you can pretty much just leave it alone after that. Just don't forget about it 😂

They offer plain interest, 30-day locked compounding interest (called Lapis) with rates better than Celsius (~7.5% on BTC, I mean), asset staking, liquidity mining, and as if that weren't enough, they incentivise you to use the platform by airdropping you $30 USD in DeFiChain tokens if you use my referral link and deposit something (anything) into the protocol. I get $10 worth, too 😄

The coin appears to be doing well. Mine is worth more than $32 USD now.

I dumped some BTC into the pool when I found the opportune moment with a 261 sat transaction fee (or something) from Coinbase... 

Still kind of steep for my faucet-feeding ass, but appears to be well worth it 😌

The DFI you get is locked in a staking pool for 180 days, so you wouldn't be able to use it for yield farming until July-ish, but it's getting 37% APY the whole time, so that's cool. You can buy some more if you want to yield farm with it. This type of thing would normally sketch me out, but the site got good TrustPilot reviews and a recommendation from a trustworthy Publish0x author. Makes sense, anyway -- they're not trying to give you a token just so you can dump it into something else.

Remember that PivX you got from Pipeflare? You can stake it here. I just emptied my Coinomi wallet -- all 0.49 $PIVX of it 😂

Even if you don't trust hodling some BTC or ETH here, you probably don't have a ton to lose by sticking your PIVX here and getting 4.1% APY on it.

You do have to complete the KYC before you can use Cake's services, but their services do appear to be very solid. Check it out for yourself and don't forget to use my referral link 😄

Happy baking!
