So i picked up StormX today. Going to sit on it for a while. The projections are that it should go up 500-1000% in the next couple years. What I'm betting on is the Blazers have a deal for the next 5 years with that logo. All they need to do is keep playing and come up with a great season. Enough people will see that Logo and enough will buy in.
This person transferred or sold about half of their portfolio. Crashed $SHIB due to the influx, only temporary. I hope.
Crypto. You can build a system and run it at home. Similar to building a home PC just heavy on the GPUs. They use a lot of power but seem to be fairly profitable and scale well as long as you have power. I'm still researching the details but it seems easy enough, just a little expensive to get rolling on anything worthwhile. You can mine some crypto on your home PC but it won't end up being much. Perfect geek project.
You have to be careful about what you mine. As a project, yes, it's fun. But it's hard to turn a profit from what I've read. I've heard of some people mining shit coins and when they peak exchanging for etherium or bitcoin to pay for the power. I'm not sure how much of a profit they're making though. I should have a rig at work... They'd never notice the power draw... Probably wouldn't even care.
That's where Im at in my research. Some crypto pays out in bits and some pays out like a lottery system, where someone wins the block. That prices out home guys on the big ones. Also eth is converted and won't be able to use current GPUs for some reason and different crypto isnt compatible with some hardware. There are also super miners called ASICs that are really powerful but specialized for certain crypto and some crypto is ASIC resistant. It's all quite the rabbit hole. I'm thinking the best way to dip my toes in is go build a 6 GPU system of 2090s, then either work on upgrading or expanding go 30xx. That's seems to be the most casual way to go with the most options. There are some hashrate calculators that show how much you will profit per coin and electricity costs, but that's assuming a stable price.
