Believe it or not, we made it through another week. It felt a bit dodgy there at times, but here we are, it's Friday and we have the whole weekend ahead of us! I see this morning that BTC is sitting around the $67,000 mark, which is up from the $65,000 we were seeing before, but still down from those amazing all time highs. made a post the other day and mentioned something about the bear market. I hadn't really considered the fact that we might finally be in the bear, but it is kind of starting to feel like it.
Of course, 2026 likely has a lot in store for us, and who knows what is going to actually happen. I'm still not going to be shocked if we see a dip down to the $55,000 mark with BTC. Some people are calling for a much lower low than that. I have a BTC buy that happens every month, I don't plan on changing that. If we get down below $55,000 I told that we might need to take a home equity loan out on the house to buy some more.
I might have already shared that before though...
In the world of Bozz, I am just trying to slog through the rest of Winter and make it to Spring. I have a lot of stuff on the agenda starting in a month or two and I have a feeling this Summer is going to fly by in record time. It's a bit humbling how quickly we grow old. It just seems to speed up after a certain point.
If you are keeping track, the price of silver has seemed to settle around the $80 mark at least for the time being. A lot of people are pointing to the scarcity of silver and how there could be a continued run on it. I likely won't be looking at buying any more in the near future. Perhaps if we see a drop back down to the $60 mark, but for now I am just going to continue holding and see what happens. I'm still of the opinion that if we get up to the $200 or $300 mark per ounce I might need to find some pieces that I don't care as much about and try to liquidate them. Even if I can't get spot price, I will still be up from where I purchased them at.
The majority of my pieces were bought at the $20 to $30 mark, so I figure if silver gets to $300 per ounce and the local dealer will only give me $250 to $275 per ounce, it might still be worth it. I know that's a huge hit, but it's still profit. I think the biggest issue will be the refineries being overwhelmed by the way it sounds and it might be difficult to move anything at that point.
One of the tokens I have been investing in for a while is COTI. They have been building for a long time and even now they are still developing and innovating. Where other projects have all but given up or completely crumbled, COTI continues to move forward. I once saw this token as a lottery ticket hoping it would suddenly jump up in price and give me insta-wealth. I don't see it that way anymore. Given the fact that it is several cycles old now, it has become pretty clear the moon is out of reach.
That being said, I have some tokens locked up and I have continued to buy more over the past few years. I earn a pretty decent return on my investment and I think even if this token did a 5x or 10x and held steady there it would be a nice source of passive income for me. The all time high of the token was something around 65 cents. I don't expect it to get back up to that level, but even ten cents or twenty cents would be pretty cool when I am bringing in a couple hundred tokens per day in interest.
Heck, 31% is pretty dang good, and and extra $140 a week is nothing to scoff at. That basically covers my Internet bill for the month. Obviously, higher would be better, but oh well.
I posted a while ago about how I started moving some of my HBD off chain and into a Bitcoin Mining program called GoMining. This isn't a get rich quick sort of thing, but more of a long term investment in a token that I think we can all agree is going to be around and dominant for quite some time.
I plan on continuing to move some of my rewards each month or so into upgrading my miner on the platform.
Similar to the way I have hedged my bets and diversified my traditional portfolio by investing in crypto, I see this investment as a way to diversify my crypto portfolio.
Plus, even if you just invest in the native token, GMT and stake it, you can earn a fairly nice interest rate higher than the current HBD savings rate. If you are interested in getting started with GoMining, you can use my referral link here.
I recently pulled my delegation to because I want to move that delegation to some other areas. It was only earning me a small amount of income in the ZING token anyway. It appears I am getting something like 400 less ZING per day after pulling that delegation. I can easily make that up by putting some more in the pool and earning the higher interest there. I just need to worry about a bit of impermanent loss. No big deal.
That HP I pulled back will likely go to a couple other projects I have been curious about supporting. I haven't made a final decision yet. At the very least, after my post yesterday, you should rest assured, I won't be delegating away 90+% of my HP!
It's actually kind of depressing how low my vote is these days, but I don't want to get you all down heading into the weekend, so let's not talk about that now.
