RE: Only Crypto In The Wallet: How We Managed To Live Years On The Blockchain
I probably should have put in there the living situation lol. But we aren't home owners here, just renters. Goal for the long run is to continue our work in Crypto and hopefully by saving we can get to a place to own a home. We live really simple and that probably helps the situation as well to survive and save.
We also had a side dream to eventually get an RV or something to travel off crypto, came close a few times to pushing towards that direction but as you know the markets can make saving take longer.
When I say we are cashless, I mean in way of we always been receiving our earnings in Cryptos since 2016. We been doing marketing for projects in the space so the norm been to usually get paid in their cryptocurrency. The necessary evil of things though is that we have to usually load up a debit card off that, so we mainly use Bitpay for that conversion after sometimes moving things around with exchanges and so on.
Far as the powerdown goes, don't feel bad about thinking of doing so, remember the wallet on here is yours and you have free reign to utilize that anytime you wish as a side income. I actually held a nice chunk on here myself in 2017 but powered down because I was just not getting any activity and bots started running crazy back then. Took a breather from Steemit during that time to focus on work with marketing so I cleaned out my wallet. Have some regrets but I come to the conclusion you can always reup your holdings. Actually I am thinking of returning here a little more often, kind of miss just blogging for the heck of it.
So I guess in ways living like this is gonna be different for everyone. Some people travel and live on crypto, others try to push for long term goals and buy homes. Its about using it on a daily basis in a way that suits yourself and your family I believe.
In my eyes of the world renting is actually the better way, but only because I do strongly believe that in the fututre the governments will claim back all the land for themselves, and that contracts on paper will be void.
Im lucky not to have even paid rent the last decade, and practice alot of freganism, recycling and dumpsterdiving so life cost for me is very very very minumum, and consists of just things like tobacco fresh milk and eggs hahahahha. I definatly suggest the RV thing! Rent free, thats a lot of crypto everyday!!!!!!
I get paid well in a commision based job when I work when I want to and also ts tax free, its like the egg from the golden goose hahahahha! Only shit thing is though that when its raining like now, I cant be bothered to go to work hahah.
The last 2 years im spending all on crypto, and admit that I wish I was a btc maximalist from the start because I spent soooooo much cash on crypo and have not much in regards to what I spent. But anyway, before there is no more cash to earn to buy crypto with (I use local bitcoins and meet a seller in person to buy with cash) then I will just keep on as I am I guess. Got absoulutely no desire to pay anyone to live, rent/clothes or food and I'm not big on consume much since travelling.
Do you also collect silver or gold?
I actually at one time was big on saving in Gold and Silver. Not so much now a days but mainly because I been all up in crypto's business the last couple years. I should hold back some actually, good real world buffer to have in place.
Me and my girl, we both are in our 40's here, kids are all about grown up soon and we kind of are free spirited and thought maybe the RV life is for us one day. Travel, meet people, see the world and with our work we can literally do that on the road. So that might be on the horizon if we save up and crypto fires back off lol.
I do lately have to figure side gigs out, been a little tight because our recent work put me into a potion of being a partner to the project BLOCKCARDS. Thats a new project BTCKYLE is doing. So till its live its not a profit maker but definitely sticking with it because I feel its a project worth the work till its done. Figure maybe we will take on smaller projects in crypto till that is out there. Thats the trick working like this, your kind of freelance so small short term gigs tend to pay in the moment and the good ones that you get more involved in give you the rewards when things are moving and public.
Me, I tell you this. I came into crypto with only $20 left to my name. Had a crap job working in construction with a boss I couldn't stand. Ended up quitting and between jobs I found this. Really amazed I went from that to finding my calling in Crypto. That to me is the best part, makes up for the moments that finances maybe causing ramen noodle nights. I think sometimes wealth is more just being able to control your own destiny and doing what you love for a living. But eventually I hope money comes more into play too lol. Can't hurt right? lol
I will also start buying silver again, and actually maybe instead this time buy gold instead just for storage size to be easy to hide, and loose? hahaha
Really cool to follow you on here, I am not online 24 7 but I'm all in on crypto! I hope you suddenly get offered an RV from nowhere hahaha that would be so dam funny!!
lol. I tell you, with the way the world is, having a little Silver and Gold is not a bad idea. Plus, hey...its to me a real world investment, something always tangible.
Really good to meet you as well @movingman ....I tend to be off and on here and there too lol. Sorry it took 3 days to get back to you, we had a bunch of kids at the house all weekend so I was not finding a moment at all to get online.
Hey if I find a RV just parked at the house one day out of nowhere, I am not gonna be unhappy about lol....be going for a long ride!!
