I just dug deeper into the crypto rabbit hole

<pic from google images>

I just dug deeper into the crypto rabbit hole.

I started the journey just in Feb this year, starting off with Gemini where I earned free US$10 in BTC lol.

It took me 6 months to pump in more money in Aug and decided to generate interest on my coins via Hodlnaut and received a US$20 signup bonus.

Thereafter, within the month, I set up another staking account with Celsius where I gained 8.88% APY on stablecoins and received US$50 BTC reward on US$400 staked.

In the same month, I signed up for Cakedefi because I was lured by the 88.9% APY. 
In Sep, I registered for the Crypto.com account given it's attractive promotion of SGD100 in CRO coins. Psst, it's recent run-up has been giving me quite a good % gain 😊

Now in Nov, within just these few days, I ventured beyond buying coins from the CEXs.

I transferred, swapped/bought new coins sitting in my crypto wallet.

I gambled and got my first meme coin.

I participated in my first liquidity pool at 377% APY currently.

With money that I hope not to lose, but can afford to. In return, other than hoping for good gains down the road, I gained guts and experiences to venture more! 

It's mind blowing. Plus scary with every transaction - each transfers make me worry that the addresses are keyed in wrongly, or somehow something screws up mid-way and I don't know what's wrong. After all, if there's a mis-step, I'd incur hefty fees or lose my money.

Speaking of hefty fees, I made a stupid mistake. In order to buy new coins, I keh kiang and transferred USD from Gemini to DBS hoping to transfer elsewhere again. Stupiak! I was charged a $10 transaction fee. I was too reckless. 

I was upset for a while, but no point crying over spilt milk. Hopefully whatever I bought can recoup back the fees many times in years to come....

Allow me to share more on what I bought only when I feel ready. Because right now, I'm just whacking and trying out stuff to understand what's going on 🤭

*pats my own back*

    DeFI's APYs are just a whole new ballgame. Take a look at Olympus DAO and its forks such as Wonderland

SGD$1,000,000 networth unlocked 🎉

Image
As of 8 Dec 2024, I have officially unlocked the milestone of $1m networth 🎉 This is all thanks to the increased in value of my crypto holdings as well as my US stocks. My HK/CN stocks are still in bad shape. On stocks front, truthfully, my overall investments is still in the red. I had made mistakes in stock picking and has not taken the opportunity to cut losses. I had the view to hold and pray those stocks in deep red would go up - after all, I told myself I don't need the money right now. On crypto, given that BTC has bounced back, I'm sitting on decent profits. I've been cashing out bit by bit. The last I spoke in Mar , I cashed out a rather sizeable amount of BTC at 50% profit. On hindsight, if I had waited till now, I could have cash out 3000 SGD more. Anyway, this time round in Nov, I cashed out 2 times, at a 70%-80% profit. Not bad considering the rest of my investments. As long as there are no major global events impacting the markets negatively, I believe I woul...

🤞On track to hitting $950k networth by end 2024🤞

Another blink, another year ending soon. How have you guys been? I wonder who else is still monitoring my blog despite my lack of updates. Again, so much has happened, but not much have changed. I travelled well, continued with a 3rd round of IVF egg retrieval (result was extremely poor), and went through uncertainty at work due to restructuring but was thankfully able to keep my job. I still haven't fulfil my dream of being a mother. Though honestly, it now feels more like a checkbox to be unchecked than the actual fulfilment of wanting to nurture and grow a child. I think the weariness is getting too much. I will embark on my final transfer within these few months. This would be my 7th transfer. If it fails, I'm likely going to stop further treatments. I have already done the best at my "peak".  I am telling myself that my life is still amazing despite these hiccups. Anyway, onto my financial goals. Back on 31 Dec 2024, I posted my goal to achieve $950k networth by ...
