Passive Income in 2022

Finally starting to read about crypto and put in my research each night (20-30 mins) to understand where the opportunities are. I am still in on Catgirl coin for the long-term (3-5 years) and in on Link for the next 2-3 years as well. The market is dropping so its a good time to buy and lower your average cost down if possible. In addition, I bought GBTC for some Bitcoin, Ethereum, ATOM, and Link exposure through the stock market. The vast majority of money remains in Apple, Target, and bank accounts.

This led me to another goal of mine in 2022: develop passive income streams. I blog for my own enjoyment rather than income, and a podcast or YouTube channel would be for the same reasons. So where does that leave me? The goal should be simple: make $5-10 a day and reinvest into a stock / crypto / fund and generate more income on that. I am attempting to learn about farming and compounding interest opportunities within the crypto world. In addition, I am taking $30 a month from my paycheck to invest into Link (may change in future) to ensure my money is not sitting around.

The reality is with this era of inflation that money sitting is money lost. There is no debate. The money in your account is worth less every second. It must be using itself to make money or develop new revenue streams. Here's to 2022 and income growth.

The Pendulum Always Sways... or Does It?

The belief in the United States is the balance of political power will always be present. Throughout our history, the opposing party has never been "wiped out" so bad in an election that their party's future is destroyed. Just take a look at my lifetime: 1. Republicans won solid majorities in the early 2000's and the White House in 2004 2. Democrats won supermajorities in both chambers and the White House in 2008 3. Republicans won majorities in the House in 2010, Senate in 2014, and held all 3 in 2016 4. Democrats won back the House in 2018 and hold a narrow majority in 2020 5. Early indicators on the 2022 midterms seem to have Republicans roaring back to power in 2 of the 3 chambers This trend is not unusual. Despite the most popular Presidents in the US's history helping their party for sometimes 10-12 years (think FDR, Kennedy, Reagan), the opposing party comes back strong.  I heard the phrase "don't worry, the pendulum always sways back." But wi...

We Are the Product

There were two interesting topics I wanted to talk about but one will wait for Monday. I settled for us being the product in a new AI world. This concept has been a sci-fi thriller for decades but always seen as "in the distant future with flying cars and alien travel." That reality is now here, or scratching the surface of it. And it has been here for a decade, if you realized it or not. The mid to late 2000's saw two products change the way we interacted with the world: social media and the touchscreen smartphone. Both of these concepts used us, the user, as the product. Social media had no product except the user posting information to other users. The touchscreen allowed us to use our fingers to control the product with apps tailored for us with information about us (photos, contacts, texts). At the time, these two remained separate from each other due to limited capabilities of the mobile phone (first iPhone had no app store, limited web functions, no 3G, etc.) Socia...

There's a Crash Coming...

The market dropped yesterday and that trend will not change. Stocks and Cryptos are both down due to one decision: the Fed raising rates. Why? Well, when the Government spends trillions without adjusting for debt you get rampant inflation. Combine this with the Fed injecting trillions through quantitative easing and you get the worst inflation in 50 years. By raising the rate and buying back some of their debt they injected, inflation will crash. The issue is so will 401k's and investments. If they do not raise rates, inflation continues to increase but your 401k is saved. What is more frustrating is this was predicted to happen by anyone who has take a high school economics class. Our economy is hanging on by a thread for some and others are ready to scoop it all up. Just make sure you're buying.
