Donations

Are you enjoying my photography? Would you like to see more?

I have come to a point where an upgrade of most of my equipment is in dire need, but due to the last two years restrictions and lack of concerts and other events rendering me unable to work the funds are depleted. This is your chance to help out, all donations small and large are most welcome and every little bit helps.

The one part of the equipment that is really outdated is the actual camera and the one needed is far from cheap, the retail price is almost 80,000 Swedish kronor (approximately 8,000 euro).

If you’re in Sweden you can donate using Swish (QR code below), everyone else are welcome to use PayPal info@metalphoto.se or send crypto to:

No more excuses!

A lot of people are feeling poor these days, poor as in not having money, and time and time again I have suggested they should start doing crypto to earn a little extra. The common view on crypto is that it is all fakes scams, which is not true. Sure, there are a lot of crooks out there trying to scam you out of your money, you just have to choose carefully after doing some research into the various programs. The most used arguement for not engaging in crypto is that there is no way to get your money back into the real world which is just baloney and I have just proven this.

Free of charge you can obtain a no fees MasterCard from Wirex, all you need is to have €10 in your account with them. Your can use the card to withdraw from any ATM and you can use it to make purchases both online and with local merchants.

When I got my card in the mail I promptly activated it and made a small purchase at the local convenience store just to verify that it actually works, so I bought a candy bar paying for it with Bitcoin (BTC).

There are a few perks with the Wirex account and their MasterCard:

You get a 2% kickback on all purchases into your account.

There are no exchange fee when using your card.

You can stake both crypto and fiat currencies, on crypto you get a 10% annual interest and on fiat (Euro and USD) you get 16%.

Elon Musk is a hypocrite

The last couple of days the crypto market took a nose dive, especially Bitcoin lost, and it’s all because of that so called business man that goes by the name Elon Musk. Earlier this year he invested a shitload of money in Bitcoin and also announced that his Tesla cars would purchasable using this crypto.

Suddenly this week he announced that this wouldn’t happen and that it would be because of fossil fuels being used for mining and transactions. It’s not like the Bitcoins are dug up from the ground, the mining is digital and is run by electricity. The same electricity people driving his Teslas use to charge the batteries. Will they also begin vetting people buying those cars to make certain the only use “green” electricity? Does he understand that all banking systems are run on the very same electricity?

As a business man Musk should have done his research already before purchasing Bitcoin instead of rushing ahead creating a surge. To be honest I’m convinced he purposely have done this to get a nice little tax write-off without considering all the small investors he’s screwing over when destabilizing the market. It must be nice to have the means to do this, but most us don’t and are losing money because of that crook.

Looking at the very graph Mr Musk himself have published on Twitter you can clearly see that there is a massive rise in power consumption beginning at the same time as he himself bought all those BTC’s creating a buzz luring a lot of people to begin mining and trading. In fact, the root cause for this increase is none other than Mr Musk.

Now he’s pushing Dogecoin instead. Honestly, doesn’t those mining rigs run on the same electricity? Or do they siphon the juice out of thin air? Give it a month or two and he’ll most likely do the same thing all over.

Musk should be concerned over the impact his Spacex operations have on the environment rather than crypto mining. Those rockets sent up surely aren’t giving 100% clean exhaust fumes. Where’s the concern over the impact the mining for metals for his cars has? Or the strip mining for lithium for the batteries? Or the impact the cars batteries will have once they’re unusable in the future?

Elon Musk is a hypocrite.

Elon Musk as the crook he really is…

Bite Me!

Betfury looked like a nice setup, a chance to earn some satoshis without too much effort. Right!

They have a box option to claim free satoshis every 20 minutes and until yesterday the amount available to claim was 10 satoshi. They also have boxes available to invest and earn from, among others one that appears to be available for free members to invest in where you can earn 7% in 7 days or 10% in 30 days from 7,500 satoshi.

So I went about claiming to get those 7,500 without making any deposit, that’s 750 claims. Then came the day when I had the funds gathered in my account and now came the first cold shower. To purchase a box you first have to stake 80,000 satoshi in the games at the site!

I’m not a gambling man, so I figured that I’d withdraw the funds as they have a minimum withdrawal of 5,000 satoshi just to find out they have a withdrawal fee of 7,500 satoshi which I think is an obscene amount to charge for withdrawing. However I thought to myself that I’ll keep claiming and by the time I had made another 250 claims they suddenly changed the claim amount to 5 satoshi, they cut it in half.

By now I am rather fed up with this site and go to withdraw, with all the effort put in I do want something in return, just to learn that I have to have the minimum amount to withdraw plus the withdrawal fee in my account. That’s 12,500 satoshis that has to be there which means another 500 claims after they’ve cut the claim amount in half!

At this point I would like to say “blow me”, but they have already screwed me sideways so instead it will be:

BITE ME!!!

10 free bux

Which bank will give you a daily interest of 5.5% on funds deposited in your account? DeFiHold will do just that and better yet, they give you $10 USD for free on signup to get you started. At this low level the interest is 1.1% daily which even that is way better than any bank.

Join DeFiHold today, it’s free

Now that you have joined you can choose to not deposit, you still have your 10 bux earning interest, or you can deposit more to earn more. Just remember, never invest money you can’t afford to loose. There are no guarantees with these online sites that they stay online indefinitely, to be on the safe side also withdraw your principal as soon as it’s possible.

Questionnaire

Sometimes you want to earn a little more a whole lot faster like I did this weekend. I needed to get an additional 15 bucks to use for an investment so I took a few surveys, some of the faucets and PTC sites have offerwalls with extra ways of earning money like taking surveys. It took a little work to get the funds, but it was quite doable. Surveys pay a whole lot more than tapping the faucet or clicking ads.

The two sites/programs I used for this purpose and withdrew the funds to FaucetPay at https://faucetpay.io/?r=674056 were:

Cointiply at http://cointiply.com/r/yyjAo and CoinPayU at https://www.coinpayu.com/?r=MetalPhoto

Now, for what investment did I need those 15 bucks? Well, we’re back to Big.Byte.Block (BBB) where it will buy me 5 more node blocks and when they reach maturity two things will happen, I will have turned $15 into $60 and also have 5 BBB coins ready at Waves Exchange. A quarter of those $60 I will withdraw, you should always get your principal back at the earliest possible time, and the rest I will re-invest.

With a 400% return on investment (ROI) $45 will become $180 which I also will put back into new node blocks which then will return $720 which will return $2,880 at which point it’s time to start withdrawing some profit, half will find it’s way into my wallet and half will be re-invested. That’s $1,440 that will become $5,760. You get the picture.

Big.Byte.Block https://bigbyteblock.com/index/cHAy24lU2

All this will of course take some time, but I’m in no rush. The original $15 I will invest in another opportunity, which one remains to be seen. You can’t put all your eggs in one basket, you need to diversify and spread the risk.

Now, all those BBB coins this wall generate may be a good idea to let sit in the wallet at Waves Exchange until they have more value than today. Just imagine if you had the forsight to do this back in 2009 when Bitcoin (BTC) arrived on the scene, a BTC is today worth approximately $16,000 USD.

Hair of the doge

Bitcoin is at it’s strongest ever, worth more than $15,000 USD, and it may be tempting to invest in Bitcoin (BTC). However this is the absolutely wrong time to begin investing in BTC, you should aim your focus at some other crypto currency that is not as strong and build a solid foundation with this one instead. Later when BTC has dropped, and it will in time, you can use the funds from the other currency to invest and await the next rise.

One crypto currency that has caught my attention lately is Dogecoin (DOGE), 1 DOGE equals $0.002 USD and is easily obtained. Since you should never invest money you can’t afford to lose and as I am in the process of finding ways for those who are without funds to get going with crypto I have located some sites where you can earn free DOGE rather quickly.

First though, you will need a wallet or two to hold your funds and also to have them withdrawn to so you can use them to invest. Most free earning sites give you the possibility to withdraw to micro wallets, most of them either FaucetPay and ExpressCrypto or even both, so these kind of wallets are needed. Then you will need an actual wallet as well, myself I’m using StakeCube.

FaucetPay

ExpressCrypto

StakeCube

Now for the actual earning sites, these are the ones I have been using. The first one gives you the possibility to choose between 20 different currencies for withdrawal and DOGE is one of them. All except the last two also have a very low minimum for withdrawal.

Faucet Crypto

Coinles

DogeToMe
https://dogeto.me/?r=18323

DogeBitsFree
https://doge-bitsfree.net/?ref=72347

CoinPayU
https://www.coinpayu.com/?r=MetalPhoto

When you have all those DOGE in your wallet it’s time to begin investing and I have chosen to so in mining operations as they are low maintenance, they just sit there and tick away, they are long term investments and you can even join for free and start earning before depositing funds to purchase additional hash power. With some miners your investment runs over a set time period and with others it is lifetime, you will need to check each one thouroughly to know if and when to reinvest.

DefMine

Cryptofarmine
https://cryptofarmine.com/r/11630

Dogecoinminer
https://dogecoinminer.space/r/941751

Make a note to yourself to always withdraw your principal as soon as possible from the earnings, there is no guarantees that these sites will remain indefinitely. With withdrawn profits you can either reinvest to boost your earnings in these programs or invest in other programs to spread the risk and also get multiple income streams. In time you will have a substantial monetary foundation for the future.

Doghouse

Back to putting the free money to work. At FaucetPay I had since the last withdrawal amassed just over 16,000 satoshis when I decided to take advantage of Bitcoin being as strong as it is, 1 bitcoin is worth almost $13,400 USD, and swap for a slightly weaker currency. Since I was doing Dogecoin already I went with this one and landed me 820 Doge in the swap.

These 820 I divided between 2 mining operations. I put 500 Doge into the same as the one before, DefMine, and 300 Doge went into Cryptofarmine which isn’t really a miner but rather a HYIP where these 300 Doge will earn 2.4% daily. This isn’t much really, but it’s a lot better than a savings account in a bank and I will re-invest the earnings continually to increase my capital.

DefMine however is a proper miner and here I now have 64 GH/s hash power instead of the 10 GH/s you get for free on signup. As soon as I have earned my principal back (515 Doge) I will retrieve it and let the account fill up on it’s own while the retrieved funds will be put to use in yet another program. The same naturally goes for Cryptoframine, you should always get your principal out as soon as possible so it won’t be lost if the investment site goes belly up.

FaucetPay https://faucetpay.io/?r=674056

Just think about it, less than a month ago I started doing this crypto adventure with no money out of pocket and am now investing the earned funds from sites like the ones in the post Wallets (& Paying Sites). I’m deterrmined to prove that you can earn crypto without funds to invest off your own to give less fortunate people some direction on how to build their own financial future.
