Why I Keep My Aave Health Factor Above 2.0 (Instead of Maximizing Leverage)

7 Jul 2026 3 minute read 1 comment BrandyCrypto

Everyone loves talking about APY. Borrow at 3%. Earn 30%. Repeat. On paper, it looks almost too easy. The most important number on the Aave dashboard isn't the borrow rate. It's the Health Factor. And surprisingly, I don't try to maximize it—or minim...

25 Jun 2026 1 minute read 5 comments BrandyCrypto

Most people think about Bitcoin in terms of price. Will it reach $100,000? $250,000? $1 million? Personally, I think there is a more interesting question: How rare will owning 0.1 Bitcoin become? Looking at the numbers Bitcoin has a fixed supply. The...

There was a time when crowdlending was one of the largest parts of my investment portfolio. Between 2018 and 2020, I invested across multiple crowdlending platforms and enjoyed watching interest payments arrive month after month. Compared to dividend...

Why Small Passive Income Streams Add Up Faster Than You Think

3 Jun 2026 1 minute read 2 comments BrandyCrypto

I didn’t think small amounts would ever make a difference. A few dollars here, a bit of yield there — it didn’t feel like anything meaningful. But after testing different things over time, I realized I was looking at it the wrong way. It adds up fast...

The Coin Pumped Hard — But Nobody Could Actually Sell

26 May 2026 2 minute read 1 comment BrandyCrypto

Sometimes crypto teaches you valuable lessons. And sometimes crypto just slaps you directly in the face. This was one of those times. A while ago, I bought a small speculative position in a coin called BDAG. Not because I thought it was fundamentally...

I Ignored DOGE at First — And That Might Have Been My Biggest Crypto Mistake

17 May 2026 2 minute read 3 comments BrandyCrypto

Most people think DOGE is dead. That’s usually when things get interesting. Funny thing is… I actually looked at DOGE much earlier.Back when almost nobody took it seriously. But honestly? At the time, I thought it was complete nonsense. A meme.A joke...

8 May 2026 2 minute read 6 comments BrandyCrypto

I’ve been in crypto since 2017.I’ve seen cycles, narratives, fear, and hype come and go. But one question keeps coming back: What actually has to happen for crypto to die? And more importantly: If it dies… what does that say about the system it was t...
