Thursday Mining Update 2
Update: Unfortunately, I don't have an internet connection at my house in the country until my new provider comes to install it. I've resorted to using a tether through my cell phone for the time being. Bandwidth is low, latency is high and I have a data cap. So, until then, the blog updates will be sparingly and no YouTube video updates.
Stocks markets have been doing well in some sectors. No spotlight on Cannabis stocks lately, I think I may have to buy in more to lower my average cost and wait for another run up.
Bitcoin saw a nice increase in price to a 5 month high, only holding out for an hour before falling. I personally think this is a correction and it will continue to climb past $6,000.
As seen in the picture, a mere 24 of mining on my system has gained another $1.15 of bitcoin, which I still plan to hold in my saving account.
I use a AMD
powered system, including a Ryzen 5 2600
and RX570 4GB
to mine cryptocurrencies.Thursday Mining update
Still having a little fun mining cryptocurrencies with Nicehash. The speed for the CPU is pretty normal, but not many people have gotten a RX570 to mine Ethereum at this speed, let alone dual mine Keccak. While the power draw is enormous, this was only for approximately 5 minutes at these rates. Another plus, for me right now, is how this actually helps heat the house. The furnace actually runs less often and I don't have to use any space heaters.
Here's a link to the different algorithms - in case you're curious. I can also make a guide on how to easily mine cryptocurrencies.
First Payout from Mining
Took about a total of 72 hours to earn or "mine" my first payout of 2019 on the Nicehash service. At current bitcoin prices, I personally believe mining for profit has returned.
This balance will be going into a Bitcoin "savings" account where I will earn a daily compounded interest on the balance.
Check out Nicehash Here - Keep in mind you'll need recent computer hardware to mine.
Check out FreeBitcoin Here - This site is also a way to gain Bitcoin every hour, and a place to gamble it. I personally just use for the savings feature.
If Crypto does fail to takeover fiat currencies, at least it was an enjoyable experience for me. However, if it does, I will be steps ahead! Now back to stock trading tomorrow!
What are your thoughts on crypto? Are you saving?
Overall markets and conditions
It's still impossible to tell the future. I thought AMD was going to keep gaining until $30 and then level off again early this week. I lost $46 total on these options, but everything is a learning experience. I'm fairly certain if I had allocated more time to research charts and news I would've done a different strategy.
Regarding cryptocurrencies, the recent spike in prices has sparked interest in mining again. Coincidentally, I restarted mining one week prior to the price hike. I'm only planning on holding my position or coins, I'm actually not mining for a profit. I truly believe these currencies will take over in the years to come. I'm mining with my main computer, and through Electroneum's cloud mining.
As you can see, I have received a few mobile miner payouts. My current balance equals about $5.5 USD. You can join me and the community here: Download the Electroneum App

Great Performance for Low Cost
In this video I show the performance of this under valued card. This also allowed my to sell my still overpriced Nvidia GTX 1070 card I got with my new computer. It makes just under $0.05 less per day mining cryptocurrencies and I didn't lose much for framerates in my games either.
I bought the RX570 for $90 and sold my GTX 1070 for $200. Not a bad trade off while I save for the upcoming Ryzen CPUs and Navi GPUs.

AMD stock option results
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday profits, ladies and gentlemen. Very happy with my call options and profits. I could have made a little more today, but decide to play safe. I do believe however, that AMD will continue to climb based on the good news of profitability.
Bitcoin has surged in price the passed two days as well, almost reaching $5,500 today. I didn't expect it to last though. It has already come down in price from today's high point. Funniest part, I think, is that recently started mining again (see post) just last week.

Market for the Bulls
Was a great Monday for the market. My call options spread did very well today, gaining 111% or $50.00. I purchase at $0.11 ($11 dollars, 5 contracts equals $55.) The market value is now $0.19 per contract (5 contracts) or $95. That's a $40 profit today on this alone. I currently do not own any actual stocks.
My single contract for a call option rebounded quite a bit but not enough. I unfortunately got too optimistic last week and bought a $29 call at $0.95, and it instantly dropped to $0.57. Today it got back to $0.76. Basically that means I spent 95 dollars, it dropped to a value of 57 dollars, and today it closed at 76 dollars. I am still down 19 dollars overall.
My acorns gained another $2.56 today. Overall up $103.29 even after I unfortunately had to take out that $5,000.
