Sorry, I am late on this update. I spent the weekend looking for graphic cards to buy. I noticed this portfolio value in US dollars was enough to buy a GPU and thought maybe that would be a better solution to grow faster. Given that this portfolio size is so small. Unfortunately, I didn’t find any available GPUs and I looked for both AMD and Nvidia.
This is why the portfolio is still there. I wanted to make sure the GPU worth buying was available before selling any of the crypto. Also, given that the ethereum fees are so high. I thought it would benefit the portfolio more if I waited until end of the month to split the mining income to the portfolio vs moving the first weeks mining income to the portfolio.
I believe the month’s average will be over the first weeks’ income. However, don’t expect this to be really huge since I am not a full-time miner. I just use my personal gaming pc to mine 24/7 given the fact I haven’t been in the mood to play anything in months. That’s why I thought adding another GPU would be a smart move for this portfolio. But scalpers know both gamers and miners are looking for new graphic cards. They bought them all and up the price.
Personally, I don’t believe in paying scalpers. So I won’t be paying $900 for a 3060ti, when the price is suppose to be $400. Now onto the current holdings and value of the wholesome portfolio after today’s pullback in the crypto market.

Looking at the value after today’s pullback, we couldn’t afford the graphics card anyway. No need for me to feel a bit pissed off about the scalpers but still pissed off about the scalpers. I will keep my eye on the GPU market because I do believe we could make some serious gains for this portfolio if we did a combo of mining income and yield farming.
Maybe build out a full 6 to 8 card mining rig, yield farm with the income, and that way we could make nice size monthly payments to projects helping people or moving this world towards a better life for everyone. One step at a time.
