Congratulations, you have just found the real person hiding under the old username travailleur2007.

Crazy about surfing, completely addicted to the TE, in 2017 I left this circle.
Life opened my eyes and I made the following decision: I will no longer work to earn money, I will make money work for me.

Warning: This is something very difficult and tedious with more downs than ups. Then, one day, I find my balance, my methodology, self-confidence and everything starts to go better but I remain vigilant because NOTHING is ever acquired.

Everything that follows just reflects what I did in a specific area, at a specific time, and which resulted in a specific result.

Bartering and mutual aid are not enough, you also need a little amount of money.

Everything that has been written below is only about money.
However, from my point of view, the best investments made are: the vegetable garden, fruit trees and chickens. (soon in another social profile somewhere on another TE)

I don't know your inflation rates, but here it becomes complicated for many people.

Mining
Once I was really interested in cryptos, I decided to start mining ETH.
Purchase of computer equipment, furniture, cables, ... and there it was. Obviously I made this decision in 2018, just before the end of the bubble😂. As I am very stubborn, it did not stop me, however the increase in electricity prices stopped me 4 years later.

From that moment on, change to start staking.
My rule is that I must be able to control my cryptos at any time. (if I don't have the keys, then I don't own them)
I made several choices based on the news:
-TRX because Dominica Selects TRON as its National Blockchain to Issue the Country's Official Coin (article here)
-Tezos because French CBDC tests: SocGen uses Tezos blockchain (article here)
-SOL by conviction
-ETH because it is the origin of almost all cryptos

The future will tell me if I made the right choices.

Firstly, not having yet reached the legal retirement age in my country, I still have a few years to face.
I have been contributing to a supplementary pension fund for 2 decades. Always aiming for no middleman, in addition to that, I created my own ETF account to capitalize in which I copied Ray Dalio's "All Weather" portfolio.

Once a year, I rebalance the assets to keep the original percentages.
I do not withdraw anything, all profits/losses remain and serve as cumulative interest until my retirement.

No middlemen, just hold it.
I chose several: Gold, Silver, BTC
I accumulate, a little more, then a little more ...
In this case, I seek to preserve the monetary value over time.

Silver: 2017-2025 (fev) +100%

Gold: 2017-2025(fev) +125%


BTC: 2017-2025(fev) +1250%
