There is was - a message that filled me with pride and no small amount of embarrassment:
Congratulations! You've been active for 100 days in a row.
100 is a special number.
It is a square 10x10. Not too shabby.
It is the root of the metric system. I am an American so we are legally obliged to be instantly confused by the metric system and instead we like to have ounces (sometimes weight, sometimes volume, heck yeah!), feet, various spoon sizes, and a whole range of "gulp" portions (big, mega, diabetes, and coma Gulps!).
American Presidents like to talk about their first 100 days in office and all they will accomplish.
But for me, this milestone - 100 days in Cointiply - is perhaps the true measure of my time in Cryptoworld. Cointiply was one of the first things that I tried in Cryptoworld that actually seems to have worked. I won't bore you with the details, but Cointiply has been around for awhile, offers many, many ways to earn crypto, and has some hidden secrets and advantages that should keep it in a privileged position in the arsenal of any Faucet Fanatic. I have written posts on how I have tried to use Cointiply here and here if you would like a guide or two.
This article is a reflection on 100 days of journeying through Cryptoworld, and a cold-eyed look at what my 100 days earned me.
100 days ago, I signed up for Cointiply. I had just stopped "buying" BitCoin and Ethereum on PayPal and was about to start earning interest on stablecoin using some centralized exchanges. I did not have a wallet. I knew that I was supposed to get a wallet so that I could feature in a news article someday about how I had $322 million dollars on a USB drive that I lost the password for. Beyond that, my knowledge of Cryptoworld was, in its entirety, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple (because they were getting pwned by the SEC). And Elon Effing Musk and Grimes and their bay-bay named $HP(FH@OEA^*GCGOFB*#@$*^EFG.
That's it.
If we fast forward 100 days, I have a miniscule portfolio of about 12 cryptocurrencies, I have what seems like 4000 wallets and exchange accounts, I write a blog on actual cryptocurrency, I sort of understand blockchains, I am in a mining pool, I have a godforsaken Discord account so that I never miss a DM scam, I am staking CAKE and CUB, I play blockchain games, I have attained 2.3% understanding of whateverthehell HIVE does, I can explain why you need CPU and RAM on EOS and WAX (still no clue about NET), I have dozens and dozens of NFTs and even stake some of them to earn some kind of thing or other, and I have a tiny share in 4 Liquidity Pools.
My achievements are modest by nearly any standards, but honestly, I cannot believe what I have learned and gotten my incompetent fingers into!
Some fields have learning curves. Cryptoworld has a frigging giant Learning Flywheel spinning at 40 million RPMs that whirls you around so fast the skin of your face moooshes all over to one side and you look like a Halloween mask from the dollar store discards bin.
I have achieved so much and gotten my incompetent fingers into so many parts of Cryptoworld that I finally can start losing serious money haha! Like, missing the AMPL thing. 100 days ago, I would never have been in a position to have 45 AMPL and still manage to do everything wrong and miss out on thousands of dollars in the FORTH airdrop. That takes experience to mess up that badly! It's funny because I am crying on the inside haha! But at least I know why I got AMPLForked where the sun don't shine, and I can sort of explain the difference between AMPL and FORTH. I riding the Cryptoworld Learning Flywheel baby yeehaw!
I hope that my journey sounds familiar to you. Anyone's first 100 days in Cryptoworld are bound to be at least as thrilling, rewarding, baffling, maddening, and flipping awesome as mine.
Over these past 100 days I have tried several dozen faucets and free crypto sites and the one that keeps on giving - at least for me - is Cointiply.
In the beginning, I was download apps and making achievements, trying every survey under the sun, and pretty much anything else I could qualify for. Now, I hit that faucet and get after the PTC ads, but other than that, I am not as obsessive as I used to be. And still, Cointiply is the gift that keeps on giving.
In my 100 days on Cointiply, I have made 8 withdrawals. The first few I made as soon as I had enough to transfer, but after that, I started to get a little more strategic. Cointiply pays you in coins that are pegged to the US dollar. That means that when BTC prices go up, your coins are worth less, but when BTC prices drop, you can use your coins to "buy the dip" - for free! Most of my more recent withdrawals have been aimed at these dips in BTC prices.
My withdrawals have ranged from 50,000 coins ($5.00) to 370,000 coins ($37.00). In total, the initial value of those withdrawals was 1,268,733 coins, worth $126.87. Because BTC prices have been so solid in 2021, and the fact that you can "buy the dips" with Cointiply, those coins bought me a bit more than .004 BTC, worth $230.45 as I write.
...those coins bought me a bit more than .004 BTC, worth $230.45 as I write
I don't think that's too bad! I started with nothing more than an internet connection and a protonmail address and ended up with $230 of the most coveted store of value in the whole magical internet money machine!
I know you can't put a price on all the lessons I have learned and the true potential for life-changing wealth creation and protection that Cryptoworld offers us the chance at. But you can put a price on 100 days in the Faucet Forest of Cointiply, and that price is .004 BTC BiTChes!
Sign me up for another 100 days!
