DeFi or P2E? It's very difficult to pick between the two, but thankfully I don't have to, so why not go for both? One thing is certain: there's a lot of money to be made, so better get down to business and pick your strategy. I know you eat, sleep and breathe crypto, but trust me when I say that it's still early in the game. The world hasn't realized yet what's happening right here.

Both concepts are relatively new in a space that is still in its infancy, so it goes without saying that there will be many more amazing opportunities to take advantage of as the years go by. The space is evolving like a living organism, new technologies emerge, more complicated mechanisms are being developed as we move forward. Attracting the best talent was only a matter of time.

This should be one of the top talking points when it comes to the crypto revolution of our time and the ways in which the blockchain technology has enabled us to monetize information and transfer value anywhere, instantly, in a censorship-resistant manner. It is now easier than ever for people from all walks of life to monetize their skills and make ends meet without having to work lousy jobs that put their unique capabilities to waste.

Conducting extensive research in order to come up with solutions to some of the most important problems we are faced with can now be a profitable hobby, provided that you are willing to share your work on platforms like Hive. This is a win-win situation and goes to show that the advancement of our time will act as a catalyst for further advancement.

Personally, I'm convinced that the crypto game is here to stay and reshape the way we communicate value to each other on a global scale. That's how I can sleep comfortably with a portfolio of 90% crypto and 10% fiat. Call me crazy for that, but the fact that you are here collecting magic internet tokens and reading these lines makes two of us.

I've been roaming around here for almost five years now and it's been a blast, not gonna lie. The truth is that I haven't learned my lessons and am still always late to the party, but it's so easy to make money in DeFi that it doesn't really matter in the end. However, P2E is a different story; that's where the early bird does get the worm.

I missed the train with both Axie Infinity and Splinterlands, and it truly hurts as I was actively engaged with this business when these projects came into existence. As a matter of fact, I had people in my circle promoting them in blog posts and discord servers, but I only started paying attention when it was too late.

To be fair, one can still earn decent money grinding these games even at current prices, however I'm looking for explosive growth and I just don't think there's room for that. I will happily admit I was wrong and wipe my tears with my gains if we do get another massive spike. I promise.

That said, even though Splinterlands and Axie early investors have made a shit ton of money and saturation may be a real thing, the P2E realm will keep expanding the way I see it. A lot of value is going to be recycled from one project into another, and I bet there are way too many crypto addicts out there on the lookout for the next big thing.

One of these lunatics is yours truly, and I have already discovered the next P2E miracle that has the potential to grant me 100x gains if the team behind it manage to fix all bugs and issues, and we get the full rollout with all features working properly. It's still a high-risk investment so I'm not going to say names this time around, even though convincing people to buy the game tokens would work well for me.

I bought me a nice stack of the governance token after a massive dip, and now I have some decisions to make. I can choose to lock my stake for 14, 30 or 90 days and earn +300%, +400% or +500% APR respectively. Yields are insane but there's the risk of missing out on a massive spike, and since I'm one of the early adopters, that's where the real fun lies.

However, I just can't turn down such big APRs, so I will probably stake 80% of my stack in two different farms and keep the other 20% in liquid form in case things get spicy. Will probably go for the first two farms as I do not really entertain the idea of locking up funds for 90 days since we're dealing with a tiny cap token here. There's significant upside potential.

Risk is always part of the equation, so I'm not playing around with funds I care about. Even if the token never sees price appreciation, it will take me less than 15 weeks to hit 100% ROI at current price levels. The thing is, do I dump my yield, keep a massive stake for free and wait for the fireworks, or do I compound it all like there's no tomorrow while APRs remain that high?

I guess I will take the safe route in the end, but I can't promise. Ironically enough, the more options to choose from, the harder I find it to make up my mind and find satisfaction in my final decision. I guess this is a good problem to have when we're talking about capital gains and passive income. Damn you, crypto.

That sums it all up for now.
