I think the whole 'passive income' mindset is the worst one to ever hold.
It's a nice thought, but it creates a defensive, (losing?) mindset.
Moreover, in the new state of affairs in the world, it's more akin to 'old fashioned thinking'.
Being 'passive' in anything in life is (in my opinion), a losing strategy, and has nothing to do with money.
I'm more of a 'take what you can, when you can' kind of guy.
(my steem tokens now value at around $12 per steem -ish- from taking them and working them. ie not hodling, but working the money through other routes)
Passive is just too fucking.....er....passive..lol
EDIT : this is not financial advice,just a perspective from someone who likes the feeling of being alive. lol
