STILL IN SEATTLE but not too sleepless...
Below I am at Jimmy Hendricks memorial:

Into day two of repairs to DJ Vanagon (Jenny Freedom) at North Westy, below is Kirk Meeks centered and Jeremiah to his left and Doug to your left:

Not my van below but follow it's story here

As mentioned in my last blog we did the awning, headlights and dash gauges a few days ago.

Why I used the word cult in the headline above is with these vans you find a huge following and my van is the Vanagon series. I have downsized my living quarters to the van. More about that by clicking on the next words: click here. In other words, I have sold most of my physical property and cut my overhead costs to fit within my early pension of $750.00 CAD per month. Hoping to never work again and eventually never see winter again.

Since I love the van and I will be traveling in it full time I have decided to make a commitment and invest in it by fixing her (Jenny Freedom DJ Vanagon). Now when you get one of these machines you soon realize you should have re-mortgaged as there is always something else to be added. Some call that a money pit!

Example of that: First I thought I would do the shocks so I went to a high volume brake & shock shop in Calgary and asked can you find me the best shocks possible for Jenny they said sure but when I went to Kuks Shop the guys doing the engine conversion in my van Kuks said I can do better and he did, unbelievable smoother ride!

You may have noticed I am using a blockchain platform steemit to blog this which is like a new corporate structure, this platform having something like 1,000 as the governing board of directors. For those thinking this blog is spam please stop reading now and move on.

Getting a bit off the van topic and into investments and government policies linked below are two great (extremely recent) articles on why I still see a great wall coming in a new accounting or auditing technology called the blockchain specifically bitcoin:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-14/massive-hedge-fund-ceo-ready-add-bitcoin-investment-universe

And the following article on why the recent pump and dump of bitcoin to bitcoin cash did not work for very long when one buyer can move the price back with only 20-30 million dollars. The big money is coming and you should own some crypto-currency.

You are living the dream my friend. I don't think you are wasting money on upgrades at all. Most people are investing $500 000 into large, energy consuming homes with expensive overhead. You have chosen to keep it on the minimal side and invest in a home (for now) that you can travel around and check out the world in. I'm excited for your journeys to come and you've inspired me to get my van running again. 5-$7000 per month from Steemit? For real?

Yes. That includes the capital gains. I started with a $25K CAD investment. Then I moved that steem to steem power and it earns 10% year plus price increase as new users join. Also, you get steem for curating and authoring. So yes, but closer to $7,500.00 CAD per month for each of last 18 months.

you are doing the great job.god bless you @greenman

A nice idea, we can use your daily publications on this subject, to be certain to make the right decision.....

Thanks for the resteem! You may notice I also upvote my own comments to gain maximum return on investment. My upvote is usually worth $4-$5 each.

@greenman - Sir, I feel you like a person who decided to adventure the whole life now. You said you sold most of your physical properties & you invested a lot on your Van (I think it's Jenny) Sir...
You made a remarkable move to Steemit & now you got a decent income in this platform as well.... It's another smart move of yours....
"Over the last year and a half I have averaged a $5-$7,000.00 CAD per month in gains and earnings investing, authoring and curating within steemit."

Sir, I'm not an expert in mechanical side.... So, no idea about all your van modifications.... But Sir Subaru is a well known brand for a racing cars.... So now you got a powerful modified van too.... Nice article Sir.... Wish success for your future adventures.....<3

To get more audience, I wish to ReSteem your post.

Indeed Steem and cryptocurrencies are pretty awesome.

Like I said before, I love how you chose to live like that and not wanting to work ever again and just enjoy life.
Absolutely love your van and glad to see you enjoying yourself investing your investment money to make the van exactly the way you want it. Very cool.
Hopefully, this could be me one day since I am working for my freedom too, so I really enjoy your posts because it gives me motivation and it shows me it is possible.

travels increase our knowledge, so we have to travel for knowledge, and you are a great photographer so we would enjoyed this much...

Hay sir I really do wounder how does it possible

If you read the comments you will answer most of your questions. Here is a repeat: Yes. That includes the capital gains. I started with a $25K CAD investment. Then I moved that steem to steem power and it earns 10% year plus price increase as new users join. Also, you get steem for curating and authoring. So yes, but closer to $7,500.00 CAD per month for each of last 18 months. You may notice I also upvote my own comments to gain maximum return on investment. My upvote is usually worth $4-$5 each.

The money being distributed comes from investment like mine later us investors will lobby for code changes to add revenue streams like advertising or other platforms using steem as their crypto for their user base like air miles etc. I see tons of future growth. Get in all in in any crypto now!

Sir so you mean if even I also do invest my money here I will also get good return.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Yes, you would be leading the crowd by a few years. Have fun and put it all in! Read my blog it also says I am not a financial advisor but have been beating the best in class by leaps and bounds for years.

Watch for my next blog I will probably being referring these comments.

Okkkk sir

And sir as I can see you have a real great knowlage what you would suggest if I do have to invest my money in which cripto should I do invest .

Bitcoin is king, steemit won't hurt...none will hurt over long haul. Read my blog for my crypto mix.

You look so handsome. Really you should submit this picture every time on your post.
