In my 55 years of life, I can honestly say that I have learned a lot. Mostly, that life is filled with unexpected changes and there's nothing we can do to prepare ourselves for those changes. I've never gave much thought to the idea of a pandemic occurring during my lifetime because my elders never spoke much of it. And, my great grandmother, a woman who passed away at the age of 104, had gone through a lot in her century old lifetime.
Still, it, the pandemic, began just last year and is ongoing at this current time. As expected after the onset of this world crisis, so many changes have occurred that could not be avoided. And, I don't just mean the loss of so many lives due to COVID-19 which has deeply affected the dynamics of families around the world. I won't elaborate on any of the details of how deeply this pandemic has affected my family because that's not the purpose of this post.
I will say that it is because of the financial assistance, provided through the recent and current Presidents' Stimulus Plans, that I have been able to do some investing through a site I learned about while watching a former anchorman for Fox News reporting Stimulus news. What caught my attention while listening to his report was signing up for this site, Webull, and earning two free stocks from major brands after funding my account. And, that site stood by its word once I signed up and funded my account. I am now a proud shareholder of shares of many different major brands that I chose to purchase because of their popularity, such as Ford Motor, GE, Levi, just to name a few.
Lately, I've had a strong desire to invest in crypto because so many people online and offline are suggesting it to anyone who wants the security of owning digital currency. It's surprising how many of the youtube vloggers that I watch on a regular basis recommend investing in crypto like Bitcoins, Ethereum and others. Not only that, I've even noticed many of the convenience stores that I frequently visit have bitcoin machines near their regular ATM machines inside their stores. So I'm convinced that I should be investing in crypto so that I can get my hands in on a piece of the pie. But, how much does it cost to purchase crypto with cash? Am I dispensed a bitcoin if I put money in their machine? How do I stake and earn online using the bitcoin I purchase from the machine? I am seriously interested in doing this and I read every article on PublishOx to support fellow authors and to gain important information on how to get started.
Like many of the PublishOx authors suggest to their readers, it's really imperative that personal research is conducted before investing in anything. And, believe me, I definitely agree with all of them. I always start my research with the Better Business Bureau to locate any reviews on the site and to see if the site is registered with BBB. After losing too much money online, I refuse to spend another dime on any type of investment until I know for certain, at least 97%, that I can trust this site. In any type of investments, there is a level of doubt because it involves the use of money. I consider that to be about a 3% doubt. In times like these, I believe it's a good idea to invest in a product that could build a nice financial portfolio for myself. If cryptocurrency can increase my financial security, I want a part of it NOW!
