Investments

Originally I planned to publish a brief recap of dollar cost averaging in bitcoins and altcoins at the start of January, as it marked 6 months since I've been using this approach for investments in cryptocurrencies. Time flies, and I forgot about this article, now, with cryptomarkets tanked with the start of 2018 I decided it still matters to come out with such article. A brief background - I'm quite new to crypto investments, I bought my first Ethereum back in July 2017, see First Investment…

The other evening I received a promotional e-mail from Mintos.com marketplace informing about investment opportunities in Kazakhstan - Kredit24 joins the Mintos marketplace and offers Kazakhstan-issued loans As the so-called Former Soviet Union investment area has been on my radar for a while, and I've been actively investing in the Baltics and Georgia, the idea of investing in Kazakhstan sounds appealing to me.  Do you want to invest in Kazakhstan loans? For the first time on Mintos, now…

Welcome to the ninth (#9) dividend income report, covering earnings I've made from dividend-paying stocks, peer to peer lending (both fiat and cryptocurrencies) in January 2018.  Surprisingly, but January 2018 turned out much better I thought before, an unexpected dividend payment from Silvano Fashion Group boosted total earnings in January, and I was able to generate $100.95 income in a very passive way. Silvano Fashion Group have been in my portfolio since the July of 2017, I literally…

Hmm, this is not nice, but that what happened to me, Siacoins I had mined using GPU mining rig,got lost somewhere in Poloniex.com A brief background - since I started to experiment with gpu mining rig, I opted for Claymore's dual mining Ethereum and Siacoin, mining Siacoin didn't seem very profitable (see: Is It Profitable Mining Siacoin (SC) in 2018? ), but I decided to keep mining just in case Siacoin goes to the moon (like many other altcoins) and maybe someday my Siacoins would be worth…

I've been investing in Mintos.com peer to peer lending marketplace since the beginning of 2017, or it has been already 12 months or one year since I've been exposing my funds to this Latvian fintech platform.  In the past 12 months I've made a nice revenue of EUR 311.42 (before tax) and in today's article, I decided to share a quick overview for the past 2017 and also make a quick glimpse for my plans for 2018. Both individuals and entities can invest through Mintos. Individual investors must…

Each time I add some new graphics card to my existing gpu mining rig or some other major happenings happens I make a quick update into the blog.  There are two major updates since my latest post from cryptocurrency mining experiments - I have installed another gpu card (in total there are  already 4, giving a hash power of about 53 MH/s) and second, Ethereum price has dropped by about 40% in the last days (from $1,430 in January 13, 2018, to $1,007.41 in January 23). Both things heavily affect…

A month ago (on December 21, 2017) I decided to explore bitcoin cloud mining contracts and decided to give it a try for HashFlare.io HashFlare.io (Affiliate link here - if you will click, register and decide to invest, I might earn 10% commission from that) - Estonia based cloud mining company Please note - I'm not a financial advisor, services mentioned in this article use at your own risk and remember your capital is at risk, you could lose some or all of your money. At the start it took…

I got a phone call from a friend, pretty strange phone call - friend was asking what would I do if I had spare $2,000, where would I invest them to make about $300/mo After the $300/monthly figure for me, it was clear - a friend is most probably talking about cryptos, and more probably about crypto mining. As I've been covering many articles on cryptocurrency investment lately, the phone call didn't come as a surprise. See: Should You Invest in Hashflare Ethereum Cloud Mining Contract or…

The idea and inspiration for this article come out since after about a month ago I started to invest both in cloud mining and building my very own GPU mining rig. I decided to compare - what's more profitable - doing all by yourself or just throwing money into cloud mining contracts. Make sure to read out my previous article on similar topic: To Mine or Buy Ethereum/Zcash/Monero in 2018 For a prelude, back in December 2017, I decided to build up to 12 GPU mining rig, using kind of dollar cost…

Each time I add some new graphics card to my existing gpu mining rig or some other major happenings happens I make a quick update into the blog.  There are two major updates since my latest post from cryptocurrency mining experiments - I have installed another gpu card (in total there are 3, with a hash power of about 40 MH/s) and second, in the past day's price for Ethereum are reaching new ATH (All Time High) been set at $1,430 as of writing this (January 13, 2018).
