How Lucky We Are!

Ever since I've registered to the platform, I'm constantly learning, thinking, looking for ways to make my life easier long term. I'm not a huge fan (ok, I'm not a fan at all) of motivational speeches as I think one should learn what works for them and try to find the best way to achieve their goals and not copy or implement what others say or do.

However, the other day I came across a tweet, that made me think of how lucky we are and also made me reevaluate my strategy on the platform.

Three and a half years ago I started out with nothing but my ambition and my bad Rnglish. My only investment has been my time and skills. Since then I've invested a small amount of cash mostly to stake on CUB DeFi. Other than that, all I have is from blogging. As much as I love blogging, I'm also looking for investment opportunities, to make my money work for me.

How Lucky We Are!

I still can't believe how lucky we are, to have so many investment opportunities here on our platform.

These investment opportunities started a long time ago, on the old platform with SPI, which is still ongoing and doing very well and we have almost the same project based on LEO, the Leo Backed Investment.

Then we've got CUB DeFi, with a wide range of opportunities, vaults, kingdoms, bridges, allowing us to pick the best earning option for our assets.

About two weeks ago empoderat came up with a new investment idea and since then we already have the SEED token. You can learn more about the concept and the tokenomics here:

It's a pretty new project, but there are already around 37 investors, myself included and I'm pretty sure more are going to join in the upcoming period.

The gaming sector is also offering some nice investment opportunities. Not long ago a lot of users got richer due to the Splinterland airdrop. There are some nice earning opportunities there and I'm sure this is just the beginning.

Staking your HIVE tokens can also bring you some nice benefits. You can earn approximately 3.26% APY just by powering up your HIVE tokens, not to mention the curation rewards that come with using your Hive Power.

Staking your Hive Backed Dollars (HBD) in savings can get you even more, as 10% APY is what you get for saving your HBD. For now I'm using my HBD to buy SEED tokens, but after that, I'm planning to stake them in savings. 10% is not something to neglect.

How Hard Should You Work?

The tweet I mentioned at the beginning of my post came from @EmperorBTC, who I respect for his activity on Twitter. He's making some good points in his tweet.

No. 1 is for everyone to decide, based on their situation, but the next two is quite interesting.

No. 2 and 3 are something to consider. Emperor says if you're working to learn, work as much as possible and if you're working for yourself, work harder than anyone else.

What we do here it's basically working to learn and also working for ourselves as there's no boss here. By working I don't just mean blogging, but also learning DeFi, investing and quite many are learning trading, myself included.

There are many crypto platforms out there and I don't know all of them, but I'm pretty sure none of the platforms is as complex as ours.

So back to the question, how hard you should work, the answer is different based on who is answering it. Some are happy with making a few cents every day by blogging. There's nothing wrong with that. However, if you make an effort, you can put your money to work for some nice returns, that can be reinvested.

Unlike the obsolete fiat based economical system, that is encouraging spending what you don't have, making you a slave of banks, crypto teaches you to save, to make investments and enjoy the benefits, if you're doing it right. It's true, a new mindset is needed, therefore, learning is a must, but the benefits are not something you can neglect.

Investing in different projects that bring passive income is not something we can neglect. We have a lot of opportunities here, it would be a shame not to profit from them. If things go south, this could be the place to earn a living, or help you make ends meet. How many are living off this platform?!

So, what projects are you investing and what's your plan for the second half of the year?
