More surveys at Ysense

 


I haven't checked my Ysense account, while and as I checked it today I found this CPX research surveys on it. I have made them through Timebucks and I hope this will bring a little live in the Ysense.

And speaking about little live, as I have previously talked about Suomitutka and Kuluttajapaneeli I checked those accounts and can't really say that there had been action.


At least at Suomitutka there has been some action per month, but in Kuluttajapaneeli...


Okay, I've made three surveys in the August, but sincethe  start of the May, five surveys. Just 1,25 surveys per month. But as I stated about these that I don't really count my earnings on these two platforms, since these are for people that live in the Finland and speak Finnish.

Oh, and I haven't yet tested payments from Timebucks to PayPal. I really have to check that soon.

Paypal is back on Timebucks

 Well, when I started doing Timebucks, there weren't PayPal-option for cash out, but they had it previously. And I have gone with Skrill, since that has been the only viable option for me. But today I had great news in Push Clicks as Timebucks announced that PayPal-cash out option is back!


I mean that it has been great to invest my "hard earned" money in cryptocurrency, and you can withdraw from Skrill to your bank account, but I have preferred PayPal as I can pay for my streaming services with it and a lot of online purchasing. 

We can see this at work on this coming Thursday as it is the set payment date.

Another new thing about Timebucks is not so great reform. Push clicks that you need to do three times per day to qualify for daily task goal, those used to be quite simple, just click it when your OS notifies and that's that. And in some OS you got piled up notifications and you just clicked them and viewed the content for 30 sec and then you could click the next notification on your notification center and you were done in less than two minutes. Now, you can't click right away, because the system is set up so that you have to pace yourself for two hours. So, if you have all the time for this kind of "hobby" it's not a big deal, but if you work in a day job and you start your work before the new day is dawning to Timebucks, you have lost half a day to get that daily goal done. 


Okay, one great thing about this reform is that you can see when you have do this daily goal job.


Previously, you didn't see that, so now at least you can track yourself that how many of these you have done already.

Some great news and some not so great, although I get the point of having to pace those push clicks.

Cryptocurrency is volatile

A few days ago I wrote about cryptocurrency and it might make a comeback. Now I did sell my almost all of my cryptocurrency just about the right time.


ETC which I had 67 coins, I sold just shy of 40€ per coin and I made over 2660€, and I had invested 2035€.

Now most of that is extra money that I had and I was willing to lose it on this gamble. For now it paid me 540€ winning after all the fees included. 26% gain. Not bad for few months worth investing time period.

I still have some invested in XLM, which has been affected as much this "hiccup" that we have seen this time.

I initially invested back in the October last year, just around that second coming. And it has been downhill slope ever since. As you can see my average buying price is around 0.15€, so to break even I need the XLM rise above 0.15€, since I need to cover the fees too.


And comparing the same month to ETC, not a huge gains to be seen. 

So, what makes these tick? Something, somewhere says something about buying a huge amount of some crypto and everybody watched closely to trends on the histogram. Suddenly some crypto starts to climb and everyone is FOMO-mode and buying frenzy starts and prices hicks up. 

As there is no "central government" to regulate anything, it's a wild ride. 

Don't invest any money that you aren't willing to lose.
