I am trying to sell some projects where I have small amounts of crypto, as it is too much trouble to check them all, and I will focus on the few 2-3 that are the best. The rule of 80/20, where 20% of the work is bringing 80% of the profit. I am going for that 20% only, ignoring anything else. Got a plan for the rest of the year to buy more HBD and Hive, more liquidity on Harvest protocol and all the available Gem events on Kucoin, as they brought some decent profits for me in the past 12 months (you need KCS tokens to participate on these events, there are 3-4 of them every month).

​

Blogging/writing/video

Publish0x - $5.57 in USDC this month.

Hive blog and Hive portfolio and layer2 blogs (Leofinance, SPT, UTOPIS, LENM, LBI, BRO, POB, DHEDGE, ARCHONM) - I got $130.91 in HIVE and HBD.

TOTAL - $136.48 (gained HIVE Layer 2 tokens not included)

​

Play2Earn - blockchain games

Splinterlands main account - $46 from all sources: SPS Airdrop (finished now), DEC, CREDITS and Vouchers, (paid by the licence node), from playing games too.

Axie Infinity - 5 RON and 1 AXS - $4.75 (as I spent a bit testing Axie game on Ronin- not worth my time)

Risingstar, Golem Overlord and other Hive games - STARBITS and Golem native tokens sold - 0 Hive - $0 as I save it for a 3 month VIP payment

Wombat Dungeon Master - NFT staking game - 0 WOMBAT - $0

TOTAL - $50.75

​

Staking/Lending/Masternodes

BSC blockchain - $17.75 as 7 Cake on PancakeSwap

Kucoin - Interest KCS and monthly rewards on Gems - $58

Binance - $0 this month, as most of its events are now not available in UK.

Crypto.com - 23 CRO - $6.21

Maiar (Elrond staking) - sold 99% and stopped - 1 EGLD left on staking with 9% APR and no impermanent loss involved, mostly bought. They just launched a new improved all-in-one app. Check it out. - $0.2

I am also quite active on Discord, assisting the UMA and ACROSS teams, check them in there if you want to learn a bit more, and if you like to spot hidden gems long before they become well known. (This is one of my well guarded secrets).

Dappradar staking - RADAR - $0

Harvest protocol (my choice instead of Across) paying a decent almost 9% interest, compounding daily - $332 in profit for now, curious to see how much for a whole month.

Contests: $5800 as I sold some Layer 2 tokens on Hive, buying more Hive and some stablecoins with it.

TOTAL - $6213.96

​

TOTAL crypto income in August - $6401.19 (£4737)

​

A simple strategy done for 2025:

Increase my Hive portfolio to 200K Power up, then until it will generate $50 daily via curation, which I will delegate in order to save time. Focusing on Hive next, for 2025, in order to get a big enough retirement pot, as I can completely automatize everything on Hive Blockchain to do the hard work without my involvement, so I can just write about what I like, when I like. Save more stablecoins in order to reach the final emergency sum of 100K in stablecoins, before my retirement, I hope, 10 years from now. Get 1000 CAKE staked on Pancake Swap, I did got some extra CAKE, so I almost got half of it. Buy some of the spare crypto from my list (I need a lot of DEC tokens to stake cards on the Splinterlands lands - $1100). Double my emergency cash fund. Start a new wallet with a crypto emergency fund as a long term project, adding a small amount of staking tokens every month.

​

Projects to follow up in 2025:

Hive - 24.36 % completed

DEFI -36.10 % completed

Shares Account no.1 - 21.05 % completed

Shares Account no.2 - 24.10 % completed

Cash emergency fund -80.00 % completed

Crypto emergency fund - 2.08 % completed

​

​

Projects that I tested in the past:

Mobox.io (BSC) - blockchain nft game - stopped

Crypto.com - I keep using the card for the freebies (free airport lounge)

Read.cash/Noise.cash blog - stopped

Torum (some kind of crypto twitter) - stopped

Presearch Node - crypto rewards search engine, sold and stopped.

Coinbase - some free crypto quests, high fees, sold and stopped

Polkamon - Polychain Monsters similar with Axie - stopped

Cryptobrewmaster - game in Hive blockchain, stopped playing it.

Maiar (Elrond staking) - all-in-one app - sold 99% of it as it is not UK friendly.

ACROSS protocol - they stop paying interest, still a very good bridge.

​

All the best,

George

Why not...

...have fun and win rewards on my favourite blockchain games (Splinterlands- Hearthstone-like card game) (Golemancer - GamiFI NFT platform, great to accumulate more Hive) (Upland - real-life virtual land) (Holozing - Pokemon-like game)and (Rising Star - Music creators game).

...get crypto while writing on the Publish0x blog, using the Presearch search engine to maximize your income with PRE tokens. Use Torum instead of Twitter. I am also writing for crypto on Hive.
