A Week Of Passive Income

Greetings, fellow sentient beings!

It has been an unusual week...speaking after some casual, usual months, no? No. I agree that for some time all the previous months were part of an unusual time but that's been also marked by my blockchain activity

...or passivity ;)...

all over. I've been around. Active or not. Still observing, reading, following up-to-date-ish stuff. And last week was different.

I was away with minimum internet connectivity. That is to say for short periods of time not daily...but once per a few days.

I stayed in touch, kind of, thanks to activity reports but that was not the same, still.

I saw Passive. I was passive.

And I kind of experienced a week of unplanned, not relied on...week of passive income. Truly passive in that regard since I took no steps to regulate anything, exchange anything, protect anything...

Darn, it's hard to be passive when you care about it!

There are those project that would make you comfortable with being passive for a while and many people like their staking, liquidity providing, trading, trail participation, etc.

I did remain on my manual curation plan for the Hive blockchain, for instance and that lead to simply not being around to cast votes from time to time, effectively wasting my stake such as it is. That would probably change were it for a longer period and more...planned.

In this case...I was kind of reduced to the more passive passive kind of...let's say passivity.

Aye, that was my dCity NFT asset collection. The simulation of real asset management that I have been taking part in for during the past year.

Plans have been wrecked, changed, ignored, etc. Mostly, they changed. There were times I thought it was more stable and I would go forward with the momentum...

Ah, the momentum...

...that was...

Let's take this last October snapshot. So different than nowadays. Analyze that one I would...some other time.

All right, a bit of rant about nominal values...not being as important as intrinsic values. You can see the 7777 number in the middle of the black circle. Income back then was nominally less in USD value per unit, higher in terms of untaxed percentage and higher in terms of Hive value (comparing the SIM token here). Still, after taxes going up another 50 % or so, SIM is hard to mine now.

Still I dig more than what you can see on the shot but that's a low percentage of what I would normally expect now.

Oh, correction. I should expect funny high taxes.

Still, passively mined approximate value remains. And what's done is done. Let's get back to the point...

SSo far, I had to stay active in order to still get the same passive. When assets themselves sell for lower prices, though...

For now, I'd simply like to say thank you Hive projects for the opportunity to grow along with your experiments.

It has been a thrilling year. A week of rest. And gratitude.

Oh, yeah, thank you, Hive, for being around for a year now! May Leo and the Cubs grow as well.

Hodl on and forge your future, Hive people :)

All that compensated

Cheers!

Yours,

Manol
