If this is your first time, read my intro 👇

On February 29th I started a personal challenge where I would try to build a $10,000 Passive Income portfolio starting with just $800. I’ve been investing for some time in crypto but I always had the same issue.

Being a young guy who lives in a 3rd world country, saving and investing more than $300 per month can be an impossible task.

I started dabbling into the idea that I could generate some passive income when I got into Wonderland last year. I know that most of you were only thinking about the crazy +80,000% APY, but all I could think is that I could cash out every week and create a new revenue stream to funnel it back to my blue-chips coins.

A few weeks later Wonderland crashed, but because I am always so optimistic I thought, there might be more Wonderlands out there that could make it. Maybe If I buy into 10 or 20 of them, at least 4 of them might survive and be my new revenue stream.

That’s how my 10k/month challenge started. I took some profits on some of my Luna position. $800, was my starting point for all of this.

Why 10k/Month? It’s a crazy idea, laughable. But with that goal, my brain has to think way more and be more creative with that target. 1k-2k is totally achievable, but I wouldn’t be as creative as I am now.

Due to current market conditions, 80% of my projects are barely making money which was expected.

I am far away from my goal of hitting $10,000 in passive income per month. But even then, I can still pull out some money each week.

Looking at the chart you can see that a month ago I was making almost $500 in just a week, but now my average per week is between $120-$160.

The good thing is after I invested $2,355 out-of-pocket I haven’t added anything more to my portfolio. Any other project that I invest in, is 100% of the profits.

Now, let’s take a look at each of my projects and how they are doing:

Titano✅

EMP Money

Compounded = $0

Profit = (-$306)

“Weird project, I don’t like it. I’m paying too much in fees because I have to cash out daily. Still making like $10/week, but after the transaction fees this might be like $7”

Pirates Nodes

“Got rugged, one of the dev pulled out the liquidity. Word on the streets is that they are working on another token to help investors get back what they lost. ”

Quick stats:

Total invested out-of-pocket: $2,355

Total cashed out: $2,412

Total invested with profits: $4,971

Earnings per day: $11 after taxes

Conclusion

As you can see I got my money back, but because most of it I have reinvested into other passive income projects I cannot call it a full ROI.

Each week I have been able to withdraw between $50-$100 to my bank account just to remind myself that I am dealing with money and that from time to time I should take profits.

And I have also been moving 33% of my profits into safer projects like top 10 coins.

I will continue with this challenge till the year ends but probably will not continue to add more out-of-pocket.

In total, I made $906 for the month of May, which I am pretty happy about.
