Next Step Strategies
I have a light coming up. I've targeted $9,900 per month in income. During my detainment, I had to deal with 6 months of credit interest, locked down, and no internet for close to 6 months kind of like the hob goblin going back to formula if you know what I mean. This is how I plan to take down nearly $10,000 every 30 days.
So far bottom line from the previous post ranges from $2,500 - $3,000 per month. Next steps include upgrading Stepn to 3 lvl 6 Comforts, 9 uncommon sneak NFTs, taking income to $25-$40/ Day from walking, Defit to $25,000 Highest Package generating $800-$1600 monthly from biking and walking.
I'll spend twice as much time playing poker as this was my sweet spot for income last year. My PayPal balance screenshot can be found below.

I don't like having that balance positive so high from just poker. It works but doesn't provide exactly what I'm looking for in my main source of income.
It's something I tried, liked, and improved at with practice. I feel I'm an average player, I've seen some high-IQ guys playing, and they do perform at a higher level.
Just today I'm up another 40 and two days ago was up $22. It doesn't take very large wins with support from poker skills. It takes consistently small wins but has major benefits if sustained over longer periods of time.
Below is where I plan on finding some of the funding for the projects above.
Pi Network
I've run nodes, and hiring campaigns, invited some friends and family to join, and used both Utility Bonus and Lock-up for higher mining rates.

I've mined over 23,000 Pi Network coins, I was an early adopter in 2019. I'll explain my side of why IOU might be closer than we think.
So Dr. Nicholas from the Pi Core Team hinted at Amazon using Pi Network as a payment source. This would increase the amount of Pi Network users and convert some Amazon customers into Pi Network Users. As more users join from Amazon's user base, more users, mine, use the Fireside browser, and transaction fees are collected increasing Pi Network's Value to the Marketplace.
I ran a calculation on whether Fireside rolls out advertising and has 36,000,000 (Current KYC Member Total ** two page views) ad impressions, and per day is close to $1,000,000 in possible advertising revenue. It will probably at some point get more than that. I feel this is the most realistic guesstimate using the assumed statistics. With the lock-up bonus, a small number of users want that lock-up bonus for top points which may create scarcity during the starting listing price. I see a low Pi Network mining rate compared to 2019, the 2029 Pi Network mining rate will look way smaller than today.
I do feel it will be less volatile than usual cryptocurrencies, maybe in the beginning for the wait of users to finish their 1st lock-ups maturities. Moving forward to avoid losing massive amounts keep an eye on pi metrics. If too many aren't locked up, they would have a higher chance of a crash. This will be a key component of measuring possible market disruption.

On Pi Metrics At the current unlocked mining amounts, we can see it won't drop lower than 30% if everyone sold all at the same time which is unlikely.
Current Market Cap, I think is from previous mined advertisements from 5 years ago all stacked up at once. As for raising funds from venture capitalists, I see this having a minor positive impact on the initial listing. Who knows maybe I'm wrong, maybe the information I saw about the Pi Network raising $8 billion is true. I just usually hear about venture capitalists cashing out in the billions, not usually investing with billions.
I think 5%-20% of the IOU Photo below is reasonable at listing, but anything higher is a blessing.

What I've learned from older smarter individuals, everyone knows what to do when you're up 1.6 million. Get a place with a 25-year roof and put away enough to cover the taxes.
I feel I've average intelligence, I had no problem with pre-calculus in high school, but it's not that complicated of a set of skills I need to perform these tasks each day.
Thankful to not be in the rat race. I don't yet feel content with the amount I have. When I know there are millionaires and a thousand + billionaires who have done it. I've watched their videos online and learned as much as I can from them.
Information that's gotten me out of that dark place was from Tony Robbins, Eric Thomas, Alux, Billy Alsbrooks, plus some finance tips in YouTube videos from Warren Buffet.
