I'm an absolutely average person with a tiny portfolio - what could I possibly contribute on Binace? The answer is: I had the goal of entering the crypto market completely without any personal investment, i.e. with zero money invested, and developing a long-term investment strategy. How did I do that? Well, the story begins in 2009 when a computer nerd and friend of mine, let's call him Tim, told me about a small event where one of his work colleagues had been given a kind of USB stick with something called Bitcoin. I didn't know much about computers or the internet myself at the time and laughed it off. Around 2014/2015, my jaw naturally dropped when I realized what an increase in value this so-called Bitcoin had experienced. I began to take a closer look at the digital world and digital currencies for the first time. And I realized that the crypto business is actually like all stock exchanges: you first have to invest something in order to make a profit. Unfortunately, I have nothing to invest. My family comes from the former GDR, where virtually nobody had any capital, let alone any financial knowledge. So I spent several years learning the ropes from scratch. In addition, I work in a completely different field, namely the humanities,and, as we all know, there's not much capital to be made (although we deserve it! 😉).So what to do? First, I worked on a financial strategy with what I had at my disposal. Not much. Accordingly, my financial strategy so far has been quite conservative, i.e. investments and deposits via banks and, if I'm lucky, a small pension later on. However, the more I researched the crypto market and the deeper I delved into the matter, the more I realized that decentralized financial systems, DAOs etc. are not a dream of the future, but have already been firmly established for several years and could mean so many more opportunities for individuals and participation in our global financial system. Something that not only has enormous added value, but can also change our society.I observed the development of various crypto exchanges, new tokens, everything, watched as cybercrime increased, exchanges went bust and investors lost everything. So on the one hand, it was a market that was highly promising and future-oriented, but on the other hand it also involved high risks. So it was not for anyone who had little to invest and could not afford to lose that little. The only way for me to invest was not to invest my own money. But I didn't want to borrow money either - because if it went wrong, I could never pay it back. I often thought about airdrops, token gifts when launching a new exchange or a new token....all too volatile, all not sustainable enough to really have a basis to invest. And then came Worldcoin #WLD. By the way, I'm not sponsored or anything!It was different to anything that had gone before. I liked the whitepaper, the hardware was developed in Germany, the payout system was designed for the long term, the security system of the iris scan with zero-knowledge proof convinced me (yes, the German authorities still see things differently. Maybe in a few years I'll realize that I was wrong ...) And in August 2023 I did it, I stepped in front of the Orb and, after years of learning and observing, my crypto journey began. The worst thing that could have happened to me was that the coin would have no value and my journey would end very quickly. So it was a manageable risk. But it didn't turn out that way. The coin increased in value. The regular payouts did the rest. I was now able to implement my strategy, which looks like this: 1. security: if the equivalent value of #WLD more than doubles the cost of a hardware wallet for a longer period of time, I would get one. That was the case in December 2023, and I got myself a Ledger.2. investing part of my altcoin #WLD in #BTC via a trading exchange: I tried Coinbase and Binance as reliable and long-standing providers. In the end, I ended up here because of the user-friendliness, speed and low-cost transactions. My portfolio currently only includes #BTC and #WLD in a ratio of about 80 to 20. 3. Cheer three times: on New Year's Day 2024, I was absolutely happy that I could already invest in #BTC before the upcoming halving!4. Long-term investment, buy and hold: even if new #WLDs come in every two weeks, the share is limited to a maximum of 120 coins. And I don't want to/can't invest any of my own money. With this small amount, you can only build up a small fortune in the long term, even with extreme growth in value. So the plan is to get a bigger piece of the pie aka BTC through the earn function with reinvestment of the shares. This will probably only be noticeable after a few years, but it seems to me to be the least risky method at the moment. If my possibilities allow, I would also like to diversify my portfolio further in the future, but only if a coin convinces me.5. If I ever build up significant crypto assets in any form, I will send large parts of them to the hardware wallet. It will either benefit my retirement or I'll pass it on to my son, who will hopefully know what to do with it ;)This is the longest post I've ever written anywhere 🤣 If you've made it this far: Congratulations and welcome to the real life! I invite you to join me on my crypto journey and am grateful for any tips and tricks! I still have a lot to learn I think. I'll update you on my journey from time to time, I'm excited to see where it takes me! Enjoy your evening everyone 👋

If you're new to what I am trying to do, you are invited to check my story: The Real Life
During the last bullish period #WLD🚀🚀 performed really nicely and so I arrived at the point to take some strategic decisions concerning diversity in my portfolio. As you might already know, my portfolio is quite tiny and I am spending exactly zero money, which is part of the concept.
The overall distribution of my coins is around
75% #BTC and 25% #WLD🚀🚀 , which I re-invest via "Earn Flex" on Binance.

My two aims 2024 are:
1. to increase my amount of BTC before halving and
2. diversification in my portfolio

Current Strategy:
With the drop of 3 WLD every two weeks I always do the same - I send 1 WLD to Binace and invest it into Earn Flex, I convert another 1 WLD into BTC and invest it into Earn Flex as well - and 1 WLD is sent to my cold wallet. (Why the f*** is she not investing everything!? Because I have something called "German Angst" and you will think of me when they hack your Binance account!🤪)
With the financial excess I get from the WLD Earn Flex I increase my amount of BTC every few weeks, and this is how I slowly work towards aim no. 1.

Now diversification: I do not only pay attention to the market, I also background check the coins - the project as well as the technological aspects behind a coin must somehow convince me.
Since I invest in BTC as a solid layer-1 solution that has been around forever and WLD as an ETH based layer-2 alternative (wouldn't be here without it!) I wanted something technologically different but also relatively "stable" in value. Classic ETH or third generation crypto maybe?
Six months ago I would have been sure to invest into Ethereum or Cardano, but the more I learn I tend towards #Solana and #Zilliqa . Why? Both of them are concerned with problems of the Ethereum Blockchain, they provide technologically superior solutions and they don't seem to follow the development of the Bitcoin-value as much as other coins.
Solana has proof-of-history, high scalability which I think is quite convincing as well as an active community for several years now (the value of something, no matter what, can only exist through people believing in it and working with it)
And Zilliqa, a coin with a quite low value at present, actually has the potential to grow not only because of the blockchains' great functional solutions (e.g.sharding and more), but also because of some interesting side aspects: they are around since 2017 and they managed to be listed in a number of crypto-custodian assets who are licensed by the BaFin in Germany (note: custodians, not trading platforms. See full list of BaFin-licensed crypto custodians here, it's only a hand full in germany so far: https://portal.mvp.bafin.de/database/InstInfo/sucheForm.do?institutName=&institutId=&institutBakNr=&institutRegNr=&kategorieId=28&sucheButtonInstitut=Suche) Since Europe and Germany are quite conservative in licensing crypto traders and especially custodians, I think it's remarkable that a coin like Zilliqa is among their restricted assets. (E.g. Finoa, BitGo Europe...)
It's always good to check if a coin is supported by officially licensed traders and custodians in your country, it means that a project is accepted and stable in legal and political terms. (WLD is not btw 🤣) And of course: Zilliqa launches a major compatibility upgrade "Zilliqa 2.0" next month, which might catapult the project fast forward.
The price was low and I decided it was a good moment to convert some of my crypto into #ZIL (pls relax dear people, its only 1,2% of my portfolio!)
About Solana: I don't own any #SOL right now, because the bullish rally did not seem to end and I think Feb/March was not the best moment to enter Solana at such a high price. I will probably have to wait for the next dip (maybe after halving?) to enter Solana, we will see.
I will slowly grow my Zilliqa and Solana holdings during this year by converting my Earn Flex excess.12 Months from now, I will decide if I continue to hold both, hold only one and convert the other, or if I change my mind and convert both into something more promising.

Outcome so far:
Starting Aug 23: 0,00€ (0 WLD /0 BTC)
-> Jan 24: ~300,00€ (55 WLD /0,002 BTC)
->March 24: ~550,00€ (25 WLD /0.0049 BTC /200 ZIL)
Only with WLD Airdrops, zero money investment.
And yes, there was a moment during the rally last month when I thought: sh*t, I could have made more money if I didn't convert WLD to BTC, because WLD grew way more! 🤣 but this is not what my strategy is about. I don't want to make a lot of money in a short period of time, I want to build a stable portfolio and investing strategy from nothing.
Let's see how this turns out, follow for updates :)

Disclaimers: I am not sponsored and this is no financial advice, I am just sharing what I do, how and why I do it.

Hey everyone, to make things clear: I am not sponsored by anybody and this is not a financial advice. I am sharing with you how to claim free #WLD grants, because I noticed lots of you are interested in this topic since #WLD shot to the moon during the past 2 weeks. This is how I am doing it:First of all, please do some research on WLD and read the whitepaper, e.g. on their website: https://worldcoin.orgIn some countries it might not be possible or even illegal to use their services (The US!), so please check this carefully.1. I downloaded the app (World App) and created an account. It is basically a crypto wallet (hot wallet) and holds also your World-ID (after you got verified by an Orb).2. I checked out the location of the closest Orb near me and drove a loooong way to get verified. This means I stepped in front of an eyeball-scanning machine to let it scan my iris to create a unique code - my World-ID, the proof of personhood. Worldcoin states this code is created during the process of scanning and that no images or other information than the ID itself will be saved. Zero-Knowledge-Proof, the code just holds the information that a real person/human (and not a bot) is using the service. There is a reason why Worldcoin is being watched by data-protecting agencies in different countries, because using biometric data to create a code is not common, holds a lot of risks and it is natural to be averse to these kind of things. But I also saw the potential of their project and decided to trust their whitepaper. Please DYOR before you take this decision! 3. I integrated my World-ID into my wallet (World App) and started claiming their grants via the app. The maximum share per person is 120 WLD over a time of 12 months. After you got verified you can claim 25 WLD once, and then 3 WLD every 2 weeks. You can use the wallet to buy, send and receive crypto (only WLD, BTC and ETH at present). Hope this helped!
