Part 5 - Happy news on CRO and Crypto.com Ruby Card

Ever since WFH, I haven't been suffering from Monday blues as much.
I guess I only hate Mondays because I need to step into the office.

Anyway, happy news to share.


Firstly, congrats to those who signed up for crypto.com account when I posted about it (search my blog for crypto.com tags). Back then, I shared about their amazing sign-up promotion where you'd get SGD$100 CRO coins back with SGD$100 deposited. If you've signed up when I spoked about them in Part 1-Part 4 of my posts, you'd have seen good % increase on your CRO token!

Personally, my CRO coins have now > doubled! As of writing, the price has reached ATH. However, because these are staked, I can't cash any profits out, but it feels good to see the price appreciation!😬


Secondly, belated news but I've gotten my Crypto.com Ruby Metal Card!
This is actually my 2nd metal card, the first being SCB X card that I signed 2 years back.

As of now, I've only used my card for transport to get back 2% cashback in CRO coins. Very puny returns given my MRT costs less than $2 to and fro lol....

That said, I've been on a credit card spring cleaning spree/cancelling my cards. I only hold Amex cashback, DBS Taka and Crypto.com cards. That's a far cry from the past! In fact, I hold none of these 10 cards now! I'd aim to apply new cards only if they dangle good sign-up bonus :)

As I cut back on my cards, I'm also cutting back on my spendings. Actually I haven't been spending much, hence decided to cut back my cards as it gets difficult to track my bills - chicken and egg. For now, if crypto.com comes up with attractive grocery rebates like the past, I'd use it to maximise the returns.

US$25 referral bonus

If you are keen to sign up for crypto.com account and card as well and dont have friends' link, you may use my referral link or the code below :) Currently, their referral is at US$25. Pls refer to more details from their official site here.

Alternatively, you may wish to wait for upcoming referral promotion and hopefully, crypto.com will dangle new promos soon! I'll share if I come across those.

SGD$1,000,000 networth unlocked 🎉

As of 8 Dec 2024, I have officially unlocked the milestone of $1m networth ðŸŽ‰ 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 ...

Cashing partial BTC out at 50%+ profit

My first foray into crypto was during the hype. Back in Feb 2021 During Feb 2021 to Jun 2022, I added in bit by bit - DCA as what they say. BTC, ETH, MATIC, SOL and even the horror LUNA. Thereafter, as crypto crashed, I stopped, praying one day it will rise back. And today, as I found that BTC is now at ATH, I decided to cash out 1/4 of my BTC for some profits. It's still a far cry from the amount I've lost, but I'm glad I could recoup some losses. Just to detail for my future reference, I transferred my BTC from ledger to coinbase. And sold my BTC on coinbase to SGD, incurring an atrocious fee of $130 and GST of $12. Gone are the days of cheap transaction fees.  Please let me know if there are wiser/cost effective options. In total, what I took back was a profit of 50%.  May BTC rise up more so I can cash out at 100% profit next. -dated 9 Mar 2024-
