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 - $3.21 in USDC this month.
Hive blog and Hive portfolio and layer2 blogs (Leofinance, SPT, UTOPIS, LENM, LBI, BRO, POB, DHEDGE, ARCHONM) - I got $54.68 in HIVE and 0 HBD.
TOTAL - $57.89 (gained HIVE Layer 2 tokens not included)
Play2Earn - blockchain games
Splinterlands main account - $22.40 from all sources: SPS Airdrop (finished now), DEC, CREDITS and Vouchers, (paid by the licence node), from playing games too.
Axie Infinity -0 RON and 1 AXS - $0.90
Risingstar, Golem Overlord and other Hive games - STARBITS and Golem native tokens sold - 0 Hive - $0
TOTAL - $23.30
Staking/Lending/Masternodes
BSC blockchain - $6 as profit on PancakeSwap, I will get the profits again in 30 days.
Kucoin - Interest KCS and monthly rewards on Gems - $172
Binance - $0 this month, as most of its events are now not available in UK.
Crypto.com - 28 CRO - $1.62
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
Staking wallet - 0.42 SOL and 0.0007 ETH - $45.76
Harvest protocol (my choice instead of Across) paying a decent almost 6% interest, compounding daily - $1.07 in profit for now as I used the stablecoins to do some ETH trading
Extra: $6560 from various airdrops, rewards and trading.
TOTAL - $6741
TOTAL crypto income in August - $6822 (£5033.80)
A simple strategy done for 2026:
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 in stablecoins, before my retirement, I hope, 10 years from now. Got my 1000 CAKE on Pancake Swap to generate profits. 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 down 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 2026:
Hive - 28.74 % completed
DEFI -0.27 % completed
Shares Account no.1 - 25.35 % completed
Shares Account no.2 - 36.00 % completed
Cash emergency fund -70.71 % completed
Crypto emergency fund - 12.44 % completed
Reclaimed Hive 2026: $107
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
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
