Heeeyho Readers! How about simplifying life this year?
2022 is all about maximizing crypto while minimizing possessions.
A couple of months ago we rented out my room at my brother's apartment. I didn't have much stored there other than some stuff I won't get rid of: guitars, vinyl records, small memorabilia, etc. Most of what I still hoard are items that tend to store value over time, so it's fine to keep them.
Other stuff are past impulsive purchases from long ago, that I transported from my old apartment, to this new home, and are now stored in my mom's house. Nonsense. Wasted time and energy carrying up and down the state things that I don't use.
We don't have things; we keep it for a certain time
In the spirit of less is more, as the minimalists say, I've decided to unbox a bunch of objects to sell online — five each month. It's better to have someone make use of them than to hope I'll ever decide to use them myself.

I'd advertise for crypto, but mail costs are exorbitant so I'll stay in our local market place. {shame}. Anyways. The goal of this post is to highlight how we can generate cash easly by decluttering.
Item n° 1
Don't even ask. One summer I decided to skateboard. Huge mistake. I remember spending a day or two bombing down the street until getting totally bored of the sport and the skateboard ended up spending most of the time behind the door. Time to go fella.
Item n° 2 - 3
Oh, gifts. It feels like the more we avoid hoarding stuff, the more gifts we get. I used to like this collector's items, but they don't make sense anymore. Why are we keeping CDs in times of streaming platforms? Just to gather dust on the shelves.
Item n° 4+
My mom's impulsive buys here. When I was living alone in the capital, my apartment looked like a pub: stuff on the walls, vinyl playing, beer. I was a guitar player at the time, and so this lifestyle made sense. Then I started traveling and everything changed. Boots and jeans gave place to easy-to-wash / easy-to-dry clothes and the whole minimalism lifestyle began to make sense.
Item n° 5
This one is not all that useless. It's always cool to learn a new instrument, and instruments don't tend to lose that much value over time. However, this Ukulele falls into the cathegory of: "If I don't use it in a year, I won't use it ever." Time to go and make someone else excited.
Alrighty, these were five items I plan to get rid in January. Are you willing to follow me on this journey? Drop a message in the comments if you plan to simplify life this year. Let 2022 begin. And let's maximize crypto whyle minimizing... stuff.
Peace.
