In the last few months I’ve completely changed my mind on the “crypto” industry. Here’s the backstory: I’m hoping it wasn’t the case for any of you reading this, but I lost some money trusting Celsius with my stablecoins.

March 2020 brought in $1465.75 in dividend income. This was down very slightly from last March, which brought in $1497.15. When you consider the fact that I diversified into a lot of alternative investments, this result is great! It is helped greatly by the dividends that the new 401k brings...
