Cryptocurrency, blockchain, and De-Fi are the fastest growing technology in all of human history and have created more wealth faster than any investment strategy.
However, it’s speculative and not right for everyone. For those seeking a relatively lower risk way to profit from the crypto gold rush, there are two strategies that I personally use.
High-yield crypto savings accounts, using stable coins backed 100% with US dollars, can be a reasonable alternative to junk bonds, and offer an 8.25% yield.
Combining crypto with high-yield blue-chips like BTI, can pay you up to 4.1% yield that grows over time, and pays you generous and safe yield today while waiting for potentially life-changing returns tomorrow.
A modest 1% to 10% allocation to crypto, including yield farming stable coins, can significantly increase your retirement portfolio’s returns, with only modestly higher volatility. Using appropriate asset allocation and risk management, through semi-annual or annual portfolio rebalancing, is how you can minimize risk to what you can personally stand, and potentially achieve the rich retirement of your dreams.
