Hi everyone - this is my first post

Most people are into crypto to make some money. I used to mine Ether and still hold a position in BTC that hasn't been doing very well lately. 

At the time of writing BTC is down 9.8% on the week but my stock portfolio is up 9.2% in the same week.

I'm not coming to a crypto site to evangelise for stocks but its obvious to me that the key thing is diversification. A diversified portfolio spreads the risk across multiple asset classes and categories within each class. That's increasingly difficult to do when most coins worth their salt effectively track with BTC if you're lucky.

I'm steering away from the magnificent seven as I'm fairly certain there's a market correction right around the corner. I intend to hold for a number of years so I'm gravitating towards stocks that should grow in an increasingly uncertain future (some might see a dystopian thread to my choices) and also some stocks that will pay me a passive income for the rest of my life.

I'm going to use this blog to record my thoughts on where various economies are going, how world events shape my investment choices, share some stuff that I learn along the way and hopefully provide a perspective on asset accumulation and investment that I can't see strongly represented elsewhere.
