My Path to Financial Freedom; A Story Made of Blogs

It all started back in 2014.

Here’s my life story for those who missed it.

Well, starting with my corporate life.

I didn’t force you through my childhood or anything.

I was laid off from my position with Adobe systems and I had the option of applying within or pushing out for other opportunities.

I chose the latter.

My eCommerce Adventure Begins

While working a temporary contract position with Starbucks in 2015, I started building my 3D Print niche.

I published my website in 2016, and by 2018 I was moving full swing.

2019, I had successfully surpassed my income that I was earning when I was a tech support agent.

Here are my 3D print niche websites :

Cannagar Tools Herbal Craft Molds & Accessories
Tools for making form-factor perfect cannagars!www.cannagartools.com

CASCADIA 3D
Graphic Design, 3D Modeling, and Small Scale Manufacturingcascadia3d.xyz

How I Made My Travel Trailer Pay for Itself and Earn A Steady Income

I purchased a travel trailer related to Cannagar Tools in 2017 when I was consulting for an extended period with a larger size cannabis company.

When I was done with that contract, I wanted to find a way to turn my trailer into money.

And of course, it turns out there is a perfect service for that.

Once that was going strong, I ended up hooking up with a solo-hiker chick who wanted to hike long distances with me.

Problem : I run a business. By myself. I can’t just vacation for a month straight! A week or two at the max.

How did I solve this problem?

I put together a chatbot to handle ALL of my customer interaction.

Chatbots have been handling my customer support since 2020. I have them on ALL my websites.

This freed up time to build other income streams.

And fortunately — because I prefer to get grandfathered into lifetime license software, I can deploy as many new customer support chatbots as I desire without any new monthly payments, which allows me to deploy and test as many online ecom niches as I want, without out of pocket burden.

This is kind of big part of what I do, because I can build as many websites, as many chatbots, and as many automated workflows as I want. I am grandfathered into almost EVERYTHING that I use.

More on that later…..

My Micro-Investing Adventure Begins

I wanted to invest more, and I started first with a simple debit card / mobile app that automatically rounds my remainders on all my purchases and puts it into an EFT account. The app also auto invests a portion of every deposit so that I don’t have to do it manually.

My Crypto Adventure

I was already into Crypto, but hadn’t really had time to really push myself until I had more free time.

The bull run of 2021 was in full swing, only I didn’t have the cash on hand to really invest like I wanted.

So, I purchased a bunch of crypto miners on a low-rate credit union Visa card. (6% APR).

I mined for 3 years, and during the first year I mined about $27,000 — which paid off the miners which cost about $17000, and put about $10,000 into my pocket.

I then started playing in the altcoin casino. And by that I mean randomly buying coins and tokens like Safemoon, Shiba Inu, Bonfire, etc.

Most of those coins tanked.

But one of them made the entire adventure very profitable for me:

Fun fact : I never owned any Bitcoin until 2023. I know, I’m dumb. Too bad I didn’t invest in Bitcoin early on.

However, read on — as you will see — you can make money in ANY market.

Many of us may have missed out on the exponential stupid sized gains of riding BTC from $1 all the way to $60k, but we still have endless opportunity here.

I started my first trading bots in 2020 or so, but never really had the success that I wanted until I found the Martingale bot.

It is particularly good with pulling bigger gains and spreading risk into a dip.

Due to outsourcing a lot of my 3d print production and now taking in much less personal income from that business, I can say that 2023 is the year I started living off crypto trading.

I didn’t exactly intend it that way, but it happened.

And I’m glad it did.

2022–2023 — I had a relative that needed my support big time.

My aunt starting having strokes towards the end of 2021.

She and my mom were dependent on each other. The event completely altered my life and perspective.

#Botlife

I’ve been running these bots for over a year now, and lately I started keeping a Medium journal of my BTC trading bot results.

Updating my bot activity every day or every other day.

The idea is to show people how I run these Martingale bots so that others can test and see what results they get.

I am going to keep these BTC Trading Bot updates going for another week or two.

Why the sudden end?

We are about to enter fishing / exploring / hiking season.

I won’t be tethered to the market, stuck to my screen, taking screenshots all day.

I will be posting quite a bit less and not at all paying attention to my trading bots.

I will set the spreads wide on the bots, and stop babysitting them.

Hopefully soon I can get into Binance’s primary exchange with my new Palau Digital Resident ID, then when I get back to my computer later this fall/winter, I can use AI to help me build custom bots to push what I’m doing even further.

My Print on Demand Adventure

I also just had my best month with my new print on demand store too, so hopefully that can be maintained without paying attention.

I’ll know soon.

I run multiple websites — one for my 3D print company, one for my 3D printed niche toolset, and then various Print on Demand websites.

The entire goal is for all of them to be as automated as they can be.

Thank you for reading!

Until next time….

Onward and Upward Everybody!
