The Gem Of Fire Experiment - How A 9-years Old Built A Crypto Portf...

It was a hot sunny Thursday afternoon in the creepy kingdom of Doomland. The sun was shining a warm, orange light over the castle. There were two 11-years old children living in the castle, and their father was the king. One of the children was Rob. He was blonde and really tall. He also always wore a mischievous grin. The other, however, was a girl, and her name was Emily. Emily was unusually short for her age, and she never dared to get into any trouble. Unlike Rob! Exactly that unsuspecting afternoon, something happened, that shocked the whole of Doomland. The world-known wizard escaped from prison: Jarmok!

I didn't started writing bedtime stories, even if I could easily shift into folklore and legends. Rob's and Emily adventure was written by my son, and I published his story part of my birthday gift for him! He turned 9 today and making his story live forever on the blockchain was my way to show how proud I am of him and his achievements!

The plan was simple! Mint one of the AI generated images as NFT, then add the link to the story and extra content specially for the holders. This way they can go back and read it whenever they want, and fuel my son's affinity towards blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies!

I published the story and minted the NFT that will make it accessible to the holders through one single click! The impact was high and “The Gem Of Fire” adventure had over 20k views across my blogs.

The standard price on all EVM chains was 0.00025 $ETH and 0.009$ SOL on Solarplex. The 0.027 $SOL was $3.85 at the time of writing but the big result was on Ethereum layer2s.

One NFT was minted on Blast, Mode, Avalanche, zkSync and Mantle, with higher numbers on the other chains. The “Gem Of Fire” was minted three times on Optimism, four times on Base, five times on Arbitrum, and an amazing ten on Linea!

People’s favorite chain was Scroll, where 19 NFTs where minted. Maybe the high activity was done for ticking boxes and making transactions for a future airdrop, but who cares!

The amount of $ETH obtained from the NFTs minted across all available chains reached 0.0115, approximately $33 worth of crypto. This will go into DGM’s wallet, along with his other assets!

What’s the best savings account in the Crypoverse? PoolTogether has years of amazing rewards and zero loss for it’s users, so this was the obvious choice! The wETH comes with chances for prizes and $OP rewards!

Go bigger or go home! This is how I roll! After a chat in the Across discord, I decided to make the birthday celebration bigger and better! I said I will add in the pot 9 ACX for each minted NFT, my son’s newly achieved age!

We had three mints on Solana, and forty-six on EVM chains, which raised the tally at 441 $ACX tokens. I am sure more NFTs will be minted after this article so I round it up to 500 tokens!

Let’s say this is the start of his college fund, as the tokens were staked and started earning rewards. The APR on Across starts at 5% and will grow linear for 100 days up to 2x boost! There are 9 years of farming until he will turn 18, and enough time for $ACX to go parabolic!
