Staring at the pc as I do. I wonder what could I do to earn something today. Apart from the obvious.
I have a tough time thinking of things as worthwhile because I tend to find given enough time and a little bit of soliloquy everything is pretty much useless. Mainly because of effort... and a short attention span.
Bitcoins Rise
I read somewhere that Bitcoins current rise causes very little movement in alt coins. This makes a lot of sense and is maybe the one thing that triggered the itch to add something new to my holdings.Rune has been doing very well but the problem with that is how expensive it is getting and will definitely be something I can spoil myself with when I have more substantial gains in other markets.
Currently, I don't hold much of anything and apart from Staked Hive, Eth and random ERC20 tokens there is not much in earning potential.
I am still extremely wary of Ethereum staking options and the 1UP I do stake is only because I wanted to test Uniswap.
My reasoning
I bought only $20 worth of Zilliqa to start, with the intention of staking and hopefully gaining. I bought it because @Chekohler mentioned Zil and I always liked "Invader Zim".
Visting their website today, I further concluded that once all these big investors realise how trashy bitcoin is they will sure peel off a bit and start looking for better options.
Hence I am hoping the bitcoin rise will invariably give sloppy seconds to the alts.
I also like Zilliqa because apart from pushing the stupid sharding tech they actually have a big focus on community projects which pay in the currency giving it minimum utility already.
They also have a button called Useful Stuff.
In contrast, I have visited the XRP and Tron sites before and did not last even a few minutes before leaving. That for me indicates a project that is not trying to blow smoke up my ass.
Although none of my reasoning is technical or even well researched, I like the idea of owning 1000 tokens of something for $20. With staking included I can most likely only gain and in the end I want my cake and eat it.
Also, it is set up as a better bitcoin, you just know it is getting some sloppy seconds. Eth on the other hand... Who the fuck knows.
