A losing year in Crypto
With the end of the year tomorrow I decided to make one last CRO to HIVE purchase for the year and make a post about how things have gone.
Feel free to read if you like but the quick version is that between Crypto.com (CRO) tokens and Hive tokens I've lost about $6,000. Yes, I've got some interest and yes I've made some HIVE rewards but with the current price of CRO and HIVE I'm certainly down for the year. I've kept records so I can file my taxes properly but overall a less than stellar year. On the plus side: I won't have to pay any taxes on crypto earnings this year :)
