I am cooking dinner atm, so this is just going to be a quick one. If we all survive the eating process, I may have to post this recipe somewhere, as it smells absolutely fantastic!
What do you all HODL?
What does it do for you?
Does it remain interesting?
We thought those things not too long ago, and it really shook us up some.
We had funds sitting and doing nothing, some mismanaged tokens, and scares of high fees.
We operate a crypto miner. Nothing flash, new technology, or impressive.
In fact, it is a single GPU, an 8GB RX580 (underclocked and undervolted) to be specific, and it is the foundation of our crypto.
We used to mine VTC, but that ship has long since sailed. General interest just waned for the whole project, and it seemed like nothing exciting ever happened with it.
We went back to mining our original adventure - ETC.
People might have a good groan about this particular setup, and that is OK.
To date, we have not invested a single fiat dollar to our holdings.
Here in QLD Australia, we utilise solar quite extensively.
Our miner, which pulls a bit over 135W at the wall with it in operation, is quite energy efficient for what it does.
It seriously achieved a lesser hashrate, higher power consumption, and the need for extra cooling to keep on top of it when flogging it at full tilt.
It is not going to make us millionaires, but it does fund everything else we do.
Anyway, back to the story..
We were looking at our portfolio, in which we had some BTC, some LTC, and a few other bits and pieces of the ecosystem.
We now hold no BTC, a couple of dollars worth of LTC, and our portfolio now is scattered across numerous tokens that earn interest.
All of our crypto is spread across multiple wallets.
We have been locked into ATOM for a small while now. With our current amount, we look at 23.7% APY.
We currently have a little under 100 ATOM.
We hold around $30 of KAVA, at 9.3% APY.
Our ADA, around $40, at 2.5%.
And our SOL, around $10, at 6.8%.
We also have all of our lint of numerous other currencies, which are not really worth mentioning.
At the heart of it all, is the ETC. We have about $15 of that, which is just sitting there, awaiting the next payout from our mining pool. We do not solo mine.
We earn from advertising, which is payouts on the lightning network these days.
We play a select few games where we can earn on the lightning network.
We earn crypto by utilising a few select ecosystems, accumulating enough, and then withdrawing to our wallets.
We do tasks to earn fiat currency too. Each month, we get our payouts automatically. It is in USD, which is about 1USD = 1.53 AUD on average.
On top of all this craziness, we also work, and we care for our family, inclusive of 4 children.
Life is busy. Life is hectic. Life is diverse. Just as our funds are.
I could go and post a whole heap of referral links, but I will not.
If you are interested though, drop us a line - we are more than happy to share what we do, when, and why.
We by far have not always made the right decisions, at the right time, or anything supernatural like that. Yet we have still managed to withdraw out around 12K of fiat to help us in the real world.
I guess the moral of the story is: Don't be afraid to change it up a little. Diversify.

We did not include the miner setup details, but can add it if requested.
