I must confess, at the beginning of this post, that at times I have been a bit hit and miss with my crypto approach but I am tightening up and educating myself as I go and it is beginning to yield some results even though I still have to pay the price for the legacy of bad decisions - such as, and most notoriously investing in BAND as an ALT that seemed to hold some promise - when in fact LINK was a better option (not to mention BitCoin or Ethereum of course).

Previously, I had been occasionally trading, but predominantly hodling and siphoning off profits in staking StableCoin; namely USDC. Maybe my main influence has been a lot of FUD after being burnt by Celsius, but just as equally it was probably Coinbase's withdrawal of USDC staking that forced me to review my approach.

With this has come a woolly sense of what i am aiming to achieve but in recent months this has changed with the setting of specific targets which has brought a greater, laser-like, focus and this has been highlighted in something I posted recently about freebitco.in. I won't bore you with the specifics of what I have already written, but basically when I hit 28,500(ish) BitCoin sats I set myself what I thought was a realistic target for hitting 30,000 sats when their internal interest payments of 5% APY kick in. A quick calculation, made just before Christmas showed that if I can average 5 faucet rolls a day (with a minimum - and significantly most likely - payout of 1 sat per roll) I would achieve my target on 8th August this year 2026).

There it was - I had set a specific target!

And then the most incredible thing happened. Somehow the target permeated into my consciousness and where I had previously been rolling sporadically during the day and often forgot what changed was that when I am on my computer I have the page open and I am aware of the timer and invariably I rarely miss a roll. I work mainly on my computer and online so it is a simple matter just to click while working, no pop ups no BS just two clicks, which can be done almost simultaneously  and done. 

And what I have found is that I am often achieving at least 2x my daily target - with my current record being 14 rolls in a single day.

This has had the net effect in less than a month of reducing my target by more than a month (or approximately 12%). Here is the current state of play (please forgive the rough copy and paste).

So all in all, as evidenced above, we can see that by setting a specific target and a clear goal I am actually overachieving.

In anticipation of a question that might be asking yourself, you might find yourself asking if I set my target too low and while the evidence seems to suggest that I don't think it is the case because I based everything on my previous behaviours. Let's be honest, freebitco,in is not the end of the rainbow; it won't make you rich, but as with all free crypto everything helps - and especially if you are doing it during downtime or as part of your daily routine (and especially if you are not using your own electricity eg in a coffee shop :D ).

I have actually been surprised by how signficantly I have improved my performance, but it is a nice demonstration of how specific targets are beginning to yield specific results and tomorrow I will post on another specific target that I have set - and even turned into a race between LiteCoin and Solana.

Sounds like fun?

As always stay safe and well my friends.
