Doing your taxes normally can be very overwhelming and when you bring crypto into the mix, it can get much more confusing. To avoid that confusion, I go through 9 reporting software services and then share with you what I found to be the best and the cheapest. The main features you want to look for are: • They charge you based on the transactions, not per tax year. If you are going back several years, this will be outrageously expensive. • Ideally you want a platform that you can easily import a CSV or connect to an exchange API without having to add everything manually into a CSV import template. • Ideally you want a platform that aids you with tax loss harvesting. • Ideally you want a platform that helps you track fees and includes them as capital losses incurred. • Ensure it covers any lesser-known exchanges you might use or that those transactions can be easily uploaded. • Ensure your country is included in its reporting system.

Here are the 11 blockchain social platforms I used to earn $100.13 CAD worth of crypto in September as well as some insights. I’ll be doing my investing & earnings reports all at the same time now. This is my 546th episode/article. I put a great deal of work into this content so if you find it valuable, please do like, share, comment and subscribe! Budgeting 2022 Spreadsheet Template Link: https://mega.nz/file/ATx3iAza#ZUhllHs4YZjMMjtC1FyN_Qhkkwmy-P98UxXqsVj8xS4 or https://bit.ly/templatebudgetting My total alleged crypto social media income earnings are now up to just over $40,006 CAD not including crypto appreciation after originally receiving the payouts. September Earnings: Publish0x – 5.88 AMPL and 0.0041 ETH earned from post rewards for a total of $16.42 CAD. Brave Browser – 14.16 BAT from ad rewards and from creator donations for a total of $6.07 CAD. LBRY/Odysee – 107 LBC from user earnings, content earnings, etc. for a total of $3.09 CAD Hive – 5.37 Hive and 2.80 HBD. That’s a total of $ 7.47 CAD from post rewards. Cos.TV – 528.24 COS earned from post rewards for a total of $4.37 CAD. Read.Cash & Noise.Cash – 0.18 BCH earned from post rewards for a total of $29.54 CAD. DTube – 42.16 DTC earned from post rewards for a total of $5.31 CAD. YouTube - $19.29 CAD earned from monetization. Blurt – 1200 BLURT earned from post rewards for a total of $7.48 CAD. Serey – 603 SRY earned from post rewards for a total of $1.09 CAD. The grand total came to $100.13 CAD which is about $73.10 USD. September Earnings Insights: I earned more than I did in August which is good, but my earnings are still well below previous months. I also expect October to be lower given I’ve only posted 3-4 posts in October even though I did share more posts of me doing Actifit. I will take accountability and say that it’s largely due to my lack of content. I don’t expect this trend to change radically given that I’m getting less and less time to be able to work on content too. There haven’t been any notable changes for these platforms and I don’t expect to see any dramatic changes in the near future either. The next big milestone will be the ETH Surge phase being implemented and seeing how gas fees affect various Ethereum based social platforms. September Amateur Investing Report: I am making an average of $155.17 a month from passive income from stock dividends, crypto income, and some from music royalties. My portfolio is roughly rounded to about 68% crypto, 7% stocks, 3% in precious metals, and 23% in liquid fiat cash. My total annual projected income from passive sources is $1864.89. $493.09 of those yearly profits come from stock dividends and about $1,368.98 comes from cryptocurrency staking. In my last update, my total portfolio value was $171,315 CAD. My current portfolio value with all my investments is $187,441. This is up about $16,126. It’s nice to see the crypto market starting to recover again, but I’m not jumping for joy yet. I think with Ethereum’s Surge upgrade around the corner, we have a bullish future, but only time will tell. I earned $29.43 CAD from stock dividends and $75.84 CAD from the staking ATOM, HBD, and TRX. Going forward, I won’t be earning any TRX and I will be aiming to earn more Blurt & Steem passively. In total, I have earned about $1,395 CAD from crypto and $2,138 CAD from stock dividends. My portfolio in terms of stock sector breakdown is 96% into general high dividend Canadian ETFs broken down into 45% in VDY, 28% in FCCD, and 28% in XEI for passive dividend income. I also now have 2% in Purpose’s Bitcoin ETF – BTCC and 2% in Purpose’s Ethereum ETF – ETHH. September Amateur Investing Insights I’m focused mainly on just stacking up my staked crypto and slowly reentering the stock market. I’ve started to put some money into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs as well. For my staked crypto I’ve focused lately on upping my DTube, Hive, Steem, and Blurt holdings to try and boost my earnings on those platforms as well as earn some passive income. The biggest change I’ve made is I dropped all my Tron since the APY was dropping and I’m always going back and forth over do I want to invest in it because it generally holds its value, but also the APY is declining and Justin Sun is a terrible leader for Tron. I split it into Blurt, Steem, and Hive. I then spent some of the Hive on Actifit AFIT and AFITX tokens. I want to invest a bit more into my social networks and put more effort in so this is me doing that. What are your income goals? Are you using any of the platforms I shared above?

Investing and saving are only 2 pieces of a larger puzzle to get ahead in 2022. Budgeting is a very important and overlooked strategy that most do not utilize. As the saying goes, you cannot improve what you do not track.

Centralization is always a concern, but how do you stop it in crypto if it means mass adoption? The only tool we have is education. Let’s talk about the many ways the crypto industry is being centralized and what to do instead.

This is my sixth comprehensive review of blockchain social media platforms meant to give you the most thorough resource and reference for finding the next best platforms to use!

The question we aim to answer today is, out of all of the stablecoins, which are the best? We’ll cover them all briefly and explain the pros and cons of each.

The question we aim to answer today is how safe and stable are stablecoins? We will be covering Central Bank Digital Currencies or CBDCs and the future of stablecoins in this episode. We will get into the future of stablecoins, the concerns around them, what Central Bank Digital Currencies or CBDCs are, and how they could impact crypto

The question we aim to answer is how safe and stable are stablecoins? We will be covering crypto and commodity backed stablecoins in this episode. Are stablecoins backed by cryptocurrencies or gold any better than fiat or algorithmic stablecoins? Well, the answer depends on what you want. If you are looking for something pegged to the dollar, you may have a better time with fiat backed stablecoins. If you want to stay in the realm of crypto but you want a coin that’s more stable to use for buying things, a crypto collateralized coin like DAI may be a good option for you. If you want something backed by a commodity and simply want exposure in crypto to real world assets like gold, you can invest in something like PAXG or XAUT. Do you hold any crypto collateralized or commodity backed stablecoins? Do you trust that they are backed 100%? Do you trust any of these entities?

You want to take full advantage of the social platforms out there that use blockchain technology or have crypto monetization. Here are the 12 platforms I used to earn $142.85 CAD worth of fiat & crypto in June as well as some insights.

Fiat is trending towards 0, and our buying power is going away faster and faster. The only way to get ahead is to invest. Let’s talk about beating inflation, what inflation is, and where crypto comes into play.

Banks can hold up to 1% of their reserves in BTC and ETH 2.0 is scheduled to merge on September 19th. Let’s discuss the two biggest catalysts for the next crypto bull market.

Centralized crypto lending platforms are going bankrupt left and right. I want to discuss who I think is next, who will survive, and if there’s something sketchy going on as crypto lenders seemingly begin to form a monopoly.

After one of Canada’s largest internet providers went down for more than 12 hours, our financial and telecommunications were tested and did very poorly while crypto was working just fine. How reliable is a centralized legacy financial system?

I’ve noticed a growing trend that more NFT marketplaces are centralized, require KYC, and in multiple cases don’t even allow withdrawals. Let’s talk about a few examples of this growing problem for the NFT space. Here’s some red flags to watch for: KYC required to trade NFTs, transactions aren’t on-chain, NFTs aren’t stored in your own wallet, withdrawal limitations, and restrictions, and any other obstacles preventing you from trading or owning NFTs in a decentralized way.
