Alice: “How long is forever?”
White Rabbit: "Sometimes, just a second."

(Lewis Carrol)

Today, due to the flu, I stayed at home and didn't go to work.

I confess that I needed it, I think the feverish state was due to fatigue!

Staying at home allowed me to relax and rest a little more and I also took advantage of it to clean the hobby room, the kitchen that I use for my experiments and the studio.
Naturally, while they are mopping and sweeping, the mind wanders and, even mine, does not work differently.

Going crazy, I thought a little about when we arrived at this little house; It's been more than two years now.

We actually just recently celebrated our life anniversary at "Ventura/Minniti Manor"!

I was also reflecting a bit on past projects, such as my mining business for example; you must know that I have an L3+ at home which currently allows me to mine about 50 euros of bitcoins per month, of course I would be able to get this gain only by virtue of the fact that I have an active photovoltaic system.
Obviously the miner is off because currently, on balance, I earn more by reselling the excess current that is produced by our plant.

To think that when we got here I was thinking about how to make a homemade mining farm; certainly who would have imagined that after a very short time the costs of electricity would have skyrocketed due to a war.

Of course, I could have predicted the trend given the recession that is making its way day after day, given the mismanagement of our government and, in general, given all the signals that arrive every day; however, I could not imagine that the fuse that would have triggered everything would have been a war of this magnitude.

Which saddens me a lot because, as a pacifist, I am against all wars.

Mind you, I imagined the rest and I'm ready to face it, so much so that with my wife we moved forward by installing a 15 Kw photovoltaic system on our heads which could also light up the houses of our neighbors.
No, I can't stand war, I'm not ready to face it and, if I were ready, I wouldn't want to anyway.

Let's go back to the main point of reflection, so as not to think about sad things.
Of course, having had to change my plans during the course is certainly not a happy thing, given the projects I had in mind, but it's always better than war.

Moreover, I believe that this whole situation has served me as an experience because in addition to providing me with good food for thought, it has been useful for me as training, in fact I reacted promptly by changing the course a little and modifying the plans.

The only thing I regret is not being able to sell the miner, I would have recovered some money, but in the future who knows it could be worth much more as a collector's item heh heh!

Always going back with my mind, the rest of the projects are still standing and, indeed, someone has joined.
I added Starbets to Betfury and now I have two similar and complementary businesses which in any case bring me back an income and which have been going on for more than three years (even though I joined later) and one for just over a year and which , among other things, I was able to start right as soon as she was born.

My investments in ETFs are still there and they are bringing something as a dowry, of course I haven't been able to increase my positions but, in the future, I hope it will be possible to do so.

In the meantime that I was carrying on these activities, I also rediscovered Hive which has become my main investment and which, more importantly, allows me to give vent to my passion for writing in other shores than my classic blog or ancient social networks , outdated and, among other things, centralized and full of censorship.

Of course, it must be said that, between ups and downs, I continue to exploit even these ancient Web2 social networks and, despite being active on and off, I continue to gather an important audience for a person like me.
If we consider that I have more than 15K followers of all the various platforms, it's not too bad, it's also true that in the past I only did those numbers on Instagram but it was a different time, I was young, my life was very busy and I had many beautiful photos every day to post.

I'm not complaining anyway, all my passions are practically monetized in some way so I could also say that I combine business with pleasure, of course, it's important to consider that my greatest passion is monetizing.

I have always approached all my investments in a very serious way, however I confess that in finding them, studying them, undertaking them and following them I also enjoy a lot; finding a method of earning that works well, that is scalable and that can last over time really gives a lot of satisfaction, in the same way even those systems that disappeared after a while have still given satisfaction by entering the group of experiences, sometimes even errors, all useful stuff, however, to grow and improve.

Of course cabbage that a lot of water has passed under the bridge in two years; soon I will also become a dad and my responsibilities will increase even if the joy that I am experiencing every day compensates for all the responsibilities of this world and indeed I would say that for me it is one of those concluded and successful deals heh heh!

Thinking about it, many times, there is a thousand paturnies for the passing of time, in reality it is a natural thing and then it is also nice to see it flow; perhaps now I'm speaking as a future father but I find myself thinking more about what will be and what I will be able to leave to my Son rather than he has what has been and will be of me.


I think I'll stop here for today, also because I've finished cleaning heh heh!
Thanks as always for getting this far.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts, ideas and opinions in the comments below.

Hug you!

I guess home mining got pretty much blown out of the water by the bloody energy prices rising like mad!

Well let's say yes and no; Currently undermining from home in Italy would mean losing money given the cost of energy.
As far as I'm concerned, however, I would earn since I practically don't pay for energy with the photovoltaic system.
But on balance, undermining would make me about 1.50 dollars a day and would practically consume all my energy with a gain of about 50 euros.
If I miner off with the excess energy we produce, I earn much more per month; especially in these periods since in southern Italy the sun rocks!

I think that when you become a dad, you will find that your writing life will change. What I hope though is, you will not make it an excuse not to write, but instead a reason to write more, or differently. One day, years from now, your child might just enjoy it :)

Hehehe I will never have an excuse to write less.
Actually when my son is born I will have reason to write more also because I will have many more sensations and emotions to express so surely the words will flow in rivers.

Above all, Hive is a way to leave something to Junio and, when he grows up, he will be able to read my blog and have a laugh and maybe even get to know his Dad a little better.... and all his Hivers friends too!😉
