Trading was pretty risky, I did however make a decent profit each time I traded, approximately a 7-10% if I am not mistaken. On the other hand, it was really taking a toll on me mentally, it was driving me anxious, nervous and irritated. I would constantly sit on my phone or computer, observing the prices and charts on Bitstamp.
On top of that, I wouldn't stop thinking, what if I had done X Y or whatever differently, I would have made more money and so on. Investing on LP Vaults on Beefy is quite profitable, while I get to choose how risky my investment will be.
That's why I do not trade, it is just way too much for me mentally, it is really not that great to keep doing this when you are not great at trading but it is even worse when you are mentally not fine while trading, even if you are profiting it is not something you should be doing. I mean I get it, money is very important in life and people are fine with being going insane for making more money, I do not understand why but I get that it is all about money.
So, if you are making like 10% or more weekly then many people say that is worthy of their mentality going bad, which I do not agree with. I do not trade as much as I used to, I quit it like 2 years ago during early 2019 periods, because I felt that it was affecting me very badly even though I was making a very good amount of money, in the end it doesn't matter if you make money or not if you are constantly stressed.
That's the reason I stopped, a 10% profit might be a great sum of money, depending on how you're trading with, however, it was really upsetting me and was getting in the way of my everyday life (Would often cause me anxiousness which could turn into a cause for a fight with my partner).
My last source of online income is signature campaigns, I've been in one for quite a while and I wish I had more time to post more, but I do not, I'll prefer to not post crap all around the forum just to get my post count up.
I wish everyone had the same mentality and the forum would have been a nice place as it was a few years ago. People for some reason consider signature campaigns as the main source of income rather than a side income and means of spending money on crypto services. I am sure if the current trend of trash posting goes for a few more years, we might see lesser sites interested in promoting their service/product via signatures, so ultimately people are killing their own income.
Coming back to earning online, I earn quite a lot by working online and that also includes the work-from-home job that I am currently involved in. There are numerous ways I earn and trading is slowly becoming a prominent one.
Anyone who wishes to earn online now days can easily do so because there are so many bounties and giveaways in crypto that with minimal work you can earn some free coins and any of them may skyrocket at any time.
I'm trying to make constructive posts/threads in order to have a proper discussion, it's always interesting to see how other people's views and opinions, in a variety of subjects, from financial to political and many more.
I was inactive on the forum since 2018, if I remember correctly, back then, there were a lot more signature campaigns and were paying decent amounts in terms of BTC. Likewise, I also believe that a large portion of users here depended too much on them for their source of income, which isn't supposed to be your main one. That potentially lead to fewer signature campaigns and stricter rules in order to participate in one.
Along with my regular job, my internship, the smart contracts/Vaults I've invested into and the signature campaign, I'm averaging a decent income per month.
