Calm waters ahead or more volatility?

---

Believe it or not, we made it through another week. It felt a bit dodgy there at times, but here we are, it's Friday and we have the whole weekend ahead of us! I see this morning that BTC is sitting around the $67,000 mark, which is up from the $65,000 we were seeing before, but still down from those amazing all time highs. @dbooster made a post the other day and mentioned something about the bear market. I hadn't really considered the fact that we might finally be in the bear, but it is kind of starting to feel like it.

Of course, 2026 likely has a lot in store for us, and who knows what is going to actually happen. I'm still not going to be shocked if we see a dip down to the $55,000 mark with BTC. Some people are calling for a much lower low than that. I have a BTC buy that happens every month, I don't plan on changing that. If we get down below $55,000 I told @mrsbozz that we might need to take a home equity loan out on the house to buy some more.

I might have already shared that before though...

In the world of Bozz, I am just trying to slog through the rest of Winter and make it to Spring. I have a lot of stuff on the agenda starting in a month or two and I have a feeling this Summer is going to fly by in record time. It's a bit humbling how quickly we grow old. It just seems to speed up after a certain point.

Silver

If you are keeping track, the price of silver has seemed to settle around the $80 mark at least for the time being. A lot of people are pointing to the scarcity of silver and how there could be a continued run on it. I likely won't be looking at buying any more in the near future. Perhaps if we see a drop back down to the $60 mark, but for now I am just going to continue holding and see what happens. I'm still of the opinion that if we get up to the $200 or $300 mark per ounce I might need to find some pieces that I don't care as much about and try to liquidate them. Even if I can't get spot price, I will still be up from where I purchased them at.

The majority of my pieces were bought at the $20 to $30 mark, so I figure if silver gets to $300 per ounce and the local dealer will only give me $250 to $275 per ounce, it might still be worth it. I know that's a huge hit, but it's still profit. I think the biggest issue will be the refineries being overwhelmed by the way it sounds and it might be difficult to move anything at that point.

COTI

One of the tokens I have been investing in for a while is COTI. They have been building for a long time and even now they are still developing and innovating. Where other projects have all but given up or completely crumbled, COTI continues to move forward. I once saw this token as a lottery ticket hoping it would suddenly jump up in price and give me insta-wealth. I don't see it that way anymore. Given the fact that it is several cycles old now, it has become pretty clear the moon is out of reach.

That being said, I have some tokens locked up and I have continued to buy more over the past few years. I earn a pretty decent return on my investment and I think even if this token did a 5x or 10x and held steady there it would be a nice source of passive income for me. The all time high of the token was something around 65 cents. I don't expect it to get back up to that level, but even ten cents or twenty cents would be pretty cool when I am bringing in a couple hundred tokens per day in interest.

Heck, 31% is pretty dang good, and and extra $140 a week is nothing to scoff at. That basically covers my Internet bill for the month. Obviously, higher would be better, but oh well.

GoMining

I posted a while ago about how I started moving some of my HBD off chain and into a Bitcoin Mining program called GoMining. This isn't a get rich quick sort of thing, but more of a long term investment in a token that I think we can all agree is going to be around and dominant for quite some time.

I plan on continuing to move some of my rewards each month or so into upgrading my miner on the platform.

Similar to the way I have hedged my bets and diversified my traditional portfolio by investing in crypto, I see this investment as a way to diversify my crypto portfolio.

Plus, even if you just invest in the native token, GMT and stake it, you can earn a fairly nice interest rate higher than the current HBD savings rate. If you are interested in getting started with GoMining, you can use my referral link here.

Holozing and HIVE

I recently pulled my delegation to @holozing because I want to move that delegation to some other areas. It was only earning me a small amount of income in the ZING token anyway. It appears I am getting something like 400 less ZING per day after pulling that delegation. I can easily make that up by putting some more in the pool and earning the higher interest there. I just need to worry about a bit of impermanent loss. No big deal.

That HP I pulled back will likely go to a couple other projects I have been curious about supporting. I haven't made a final decision yet. At the very least, after my post yesterday, you should rest assured, I won't be delegating away 90+% of my HP!

It's actually kind of depressing how low my vote is these days, but I don't want to get you all down heading into the weekend, so let's not talk about that now.
