Small steps, long vision!!

Last year I posted the benefits of staking your LOCK Tokens and the easy Passive Rewards which can be earned here. Let’s re-visit this unbelievably simply, yet powerful way to earn insane Passive Rewards. Currently LOCK pays 166% APY (Annual Passive Yield). In layman’s terms this means that for every LOCK Token you stake, you will be rewarded with 1,66 LOCK Tokens. Let’s Look at a Practical Example: Let’s assume that you have staked 10,000 LOCK Tokens and an APY of 166%. This means that your current investment will be worth $4,000 (10,000 x $0,4 per LOCK Token). Over the period of a year, you will be rewarded with an additional 16,600 LOCK Tokens. This will mean that you will then the owner of 26,600 LOCK Tokens – all earned 100% Passively. Now, the current LOCK Token price is around 230% away from its ATH of $1,30. During this Bull Run it is anticipated that all good cryptos projects will surpass their previous ATH’s – Bitcoin has done this ages ago and Alt Coins will soon follow suit. For the sake of this example, we will assume that LOCK only reaches its previous ATH in the current Bull Run. This means that your initial investment of $4,000 will grow to a STAGGERING $34,580 (26,600 x $1,30). BTW, I have 11,482 LOCK Tokens Staked at this time and they are earning me an average of 99 LOCK Tokens per week. At current valuations, that amounts to $39,60 or R740 PER WEEK. All 100% Passively!!! And, when LOCK returns to its ATH, that will mean $128,70 or R2,406 PER WEEK. Now if that is not the easiest Passive Income ever, I don’t get it…… Are you still sitting on the side lines waiting….and “Checking things out” before you make your move? While this is not financial advice, this is a no-brainer to me. How much longer are you going to sit on the side lines, waiting, watching, umming and rr-ing??

Let’s explore the power of the multiplier effect on your portfolio growth. In this example, we’ll use a conservative 5X (500%) return on investment (ROI) over every 12-month period. I’ve made two assumptions for this 5-year projection: 1. A starting investment of 𝐑𝟏𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎, which is accessible for most. 2. An annual 𝐑𝐎𝐈 𝐨𝐟 𝟓𝟎𝟎% (𝟓𝐗). For those with more disposable income, I’ve also included a projection with a starting amount of 𝐑𝟏𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎, again over 5 years. The results are staggering. For the 𝐑𝟏𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 starting amount, your portfolio could grow to 𝐑𝟑𝟏,𝟐𝟓𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 after 5 years, and reach R1,250,000 after just 3 years. For the 𝐑𝟏𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 starting investment, your portfolio could potentially skyrocket to 𝐑𝟑𝟏𝟐,𝟓𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 in 5 years, and an impressive R12,500,000 in just 3 years. These figures highlight the importance of having a long-term view. It’s not about quick gains but steady growth over 3 to 5 years. If you're willing to invest wisely with purpose and live modestly, you can build a "Whale" or "Freedom" Portfolio that could set you up for life. Would you rather 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 now and secure 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 in a few years, or work until retirement and settle for a pension that’s only a fraction of your current earnings?

Is it possible to 4X one’s portfolio in 12 short months? Well, let’s look at my results since February 2023. My “Normal Portfolio” grew from a modest $11,000 to a very respectable $45,076 by the end of 2023. That is a staggering 4,1 X or 410% growth in 11 months!! And all this by just being patient and adding to my portfolio on a regular basis through DCA and new Private Sales (I didn’t participate in all of them). Now, let’s look at what sort of Portfolio Growth I saw in 2024. I started the year with a portfolio balance of $45,076 and my now Whale Portfolio is worth $122,132 as of 31 December 2024. That is a WHOPPING 2,71X or 271% Growth in my portfolio. Sadly, the last 3 weeks of 2024 saw the Bitcoin price drop by around 15% which slowed my portfolio growth somewhat during this period. Once again, I continuously added to my bags through DCA and participated in most of the Private Sales (I missed 1 or 2). It is anyone’s guess as to how long the current Bull Market will last, but the pundits tell us that we can see the market reach a peak around mid-2025, or even later, depending on who your following. So, I am predicting at least another 100% growth in my portfolio by mid-year (I’m keeping it very conservative here). This will mean a Whale Portfolio value of around $250,000 or a massive R4,683,000 at current conversion rates. Then, it will possibly be time to start taking some profits following my 70/30 Rule. This means harvesting around R1,4 Million to be “spent” while leaving the balance of 70% to work for me. The Bitcoin price has already starting making moves to the upside – from around $92 500 to $97 600 at the time of writing. So, are we seeing a 3X or 4X this year?? Let’s make 2025 a GREAT Year…. Let’s Gooooo!!!

I have now been a member of the Enemes Crypto Academy for almost two years. In this short time, I have grown a small portfolio into a Whale Portfolio. I think it has become time for a little “Stocktaking”. Some people may be offended by this message, BUT I simply have to get this off my chest – FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE ENEMES FAMILY AND YOUR SUCCESS…. You see, I have been writing many useful, in most cases VERY EDUCATIONAL articles in Skool over the recent months. And guess what? very little engagement. My apologies to those members who have interacted – many even sending my private messages – you know who you are and thank you for the kind words and encouragement. And guess what? – those individuals happen to be the members who “Get it”. They understand that at times the journey can become tough. They understand that the journey can be arduous and almost lonely as they patiently wait for their portfolio to grow. Human nature is a very strange thing. We are inherently impatient, lazy and ill-disciplined (and that includes me). Everyone bemoans their financial predicament and how expensive and tough life is. Yet, when you feed them with the recipe to success, they pay little (if any) attention to these valuable lessons. When anything looks remotely like “Work”, they prefer to remain in their perceived comfort zone, not willing to tighten their belts being worried what their friends and family will think of them if they don’t want to party the night away, often. And guess what? – that perceived comfort zone is KILLING THEIR DREAMS… They are the ones who would rather drive that flashy car and pay an exorbitant instalment which causes a strop around their necks. A strop so tight, they’re almost hanging themselves (in debt). They are the ones who simply have to wear designer clothes, no matter the cost and sacrifice. They are the ones with multiple clothing accounts, let alone credit card debt. They are the ones who simply must have the latest iPhone (not that I have anything against owning an iPhone).
