Welcome to the sixty (#60) dividend income report, covering earnings I've made from dividend-paying stocks in June 2023.  Last month we spent both in Georgia and Latvia. In mid-June, the preschool for our daughter finished at QSI Tbilisi, and just shortly we left for Latvia, where we are building a frame house from scratch. The last days of June were quite fruitful and I did most of the framing for our holiday house in Latvia.  From the perspective of dividend income - Last June is nothing to…

I remember the excitement I had a few years ago when I bought my first ETH coin investing 50 EUR and buying about 0.2 ETH. What a thrill, what an adrenaline. Back then I was investing about EUR 50/mo in ETH, BTC, and LTC. My investment was worth about EUR 150/mo. In just a couple of months, I more than doubled my total investment and it seemed the way to go, slow and steady, buy and hold, dollar cost averaging. Fast forward to 2023, I have decided to invest 50 USD daily in buying ETH. Nope, I…

My crypto portfolio took a hit of about 17% last night after it was announced that SEC has sued Binance and its CEO CZ. Bitcoin price dropped from about $27,150 to $25,500. At the time of writing, I was holding about 0.1 BTC long futures, with my average buy price at $27,125. Trading with leverage is like a double-sided sword, it can make huge returns and it can also blow up your account easily. With my BTC estimated liquidation price (ELP) just under $25,000 I started to feel quite…
