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 - $2.80 in USDC this month.
Hive blog and Hive portfolio and layer2 blogs (Leofinance, SPT, UTOPIS, LENM, LBI, BRO, POB, DHEDGE, ARCHONM) - I got $65.59 in HIVE and HBD.
TOTAL - $68.39 (gained HIVE Layer 2 tokens not included)
Play2Earn - blockchain games
Splinterlands main account - $34.77 from all sources: SPS Airdrop (finished now), DEC, CREDITS and Vouchers, (paid by the licence node), from playing games too.
Axie Infinity - 7 RON and 0 AXS - $0.65 (as I spent a bit testing Axie game on Ronin- not worth my time)
Risingstar, Golem Overlord and other Hive games - STARBITS and Golem native tokens sold - 2.5 Hive - $0.17
Wombat Dungeon Master - NFT staking game - 0 WOMBAT - $0
TOTAL - $35.59
Staking/Lending/Masternodes
BSC blockchain - $2.71 as profit on PancakeSwap, I will get the profits again in 30 days.
Kucoin - Interest KCS and monthly rewards on Gems - $161
Binance - $0 this month, as most of its events are now not available in UK.
Crypto.com - 58 CRO - $4.46
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
I am also quite active on Discord, assisting the UMA and ACROSS teams, check them in there if you want to learn a bit more, and if you like to spot hidden gems long before they become well known. (This is one of my well guarded secrets).
Dappradar staking - project halted
Harvest protocol (my choice instead of Across) paying a decent almost 6% interest, compounding daily - $226 in profit for now.
Extra: 0
Reclaimed Hive 2026: 30 - $2.1
TOTAL - $394.17
TOTAL crypto income in February - $498 (£370)
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 1000 CAKE staked on Pancake Swap. 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 - 26.58 % completed
DEFI -0 % completed
Shares Account no.1 - 24.32 % completed
Shares Account no.2 - 30.61 % completed
Cash emergency fund -65.00 % completed
Crypto emergency fund - 9.71 % completed
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
