Disclaimer: not every week, sometimes I feel like working/coding and work way above 40 hour weeks.

My tasks to keep money flowing however come down to maybe 3 hours a week.

I've worked years to get there, but the majority of my income today comes from:

- 'creative' affiliate sites

- random crypto investments

- a local e-commerce project

I've had AdSense sites and a 'small' SAAS too. But I've sold those. The e-commerce is so that I avoid imposter syndrome (or so), because it's the only income I can actually touch that is more than a few files on a harddrive.

However, I am not rich. I am able to pay back dept from years of trying and life a enjoyable life, which is all I ever targetted for.

Freelanced for 5 years to build enough capital, poured every cent of it in crypto since 2017, and can now live off my savings for ~15 years.

I am still coding and learning, but not fulltime. Maybe 2-3 hours a day.

Will go back to work at some point but probably part time.

Just out of curiosity when you say crypto, are you mining or buying Bitcoin with USD ?

Buying other coins than BTC. If BTC does 10%, ETH did 25% and other shitcoins went up 50-80%. So I distributed among different coins and just sat out and waited.

I don't think it's over. Take the current dip (which might go until 30k for BTC), buy in, and wait another year. This space is not done yet. And it's mostly used by professional traders to squeeze out some beta in their portfolios. So be a little fish swimming with the whales.

What "strategy" do you use for crypto? Just "buy the dip" or??
