My investment in crypto is not financial. It is only the time and work invested first in Steemit and now Hive. I'd consider a second job, but my health basically limits me to the one part-time job I have now. Thank goodness opportunities like this exist instead.
Absolutely. It has been life changing for me, even though financially I haven't benefited in real life. The financial condition I was in when starting was quite bad and I was desperate to help my family. It never really panned out that way here, but what it did do was open me up to changing my work ethic and taking opportunities (like a second job) that altered our position. If I hadn't corona would have killed my business with no back up and now, I have done well enough at the second job, that it is more like my main job now. It is a lot of work, but I see my activity on chain as my investment strategy into an industry I might be too afraid to enter otherwise.
Thank goodness....
I think diversifying into crypto is one of the better long-term prospects when the US dollar, the Euro, etc. are destabilizing. I don't guarantee any of them, not even Bitcoin, will be the cure to monetary mismanagement, but like silver, gold, stocks, real estate, and tools, it has potential for a payoff. I trust crypto more than I trust Social Security or my measly library pension plan, for example.
