Current Experiments & Results

Plutus Cashback

Safety: Card Rewards/Perks: ★★★★☆ℹ️
Card Rewards/Perks (★★★★☆): Very safe – cashback in stable PLUS, merchant-funded perks (Netflix, Spotify, etc.), swaps & gift cards. No capital risk for everyday use.
Safety: Optional PLU Holding: ★★☆☆☆ℹ️
Optional PLU Holding (★★☆☆☆): High volatility crypto risk – PLU price can fluctuate significantly when buying/holding to enable higher reward tiers.

Personal note: My unrealized loss from PLU is ~£3k (mainly from price decline). I continue using the Plutus card because it delivers real monthly value through cashback, perks, swaps & gift cards – hoping to slowly recover over time.

Tesla logo

Tesla Stock

Safety: ★★★☆☆ℹ️
Moderate to high risk due to single-stock volatility and market sentiment. Safer when held long-term (5–10+ years) as a growth investment in EV/innovation sector – historical long-term performance has rewarded patient holders despite short-term swings.

Bitcoin logo

Bitcoin

Safety: ★★★☆☆ℹ️
Moderate-high risk – Bitcoin is highly volatile with short-term price swings of 30–50% (or more) common, even in bull markets. No dividends or native yield; returns depend entirely on capital appreciation.

Lower relative volatility than most major cryptos, fixed 21 million supply cap, and strongest institutional/nation-state adoption. Long-term (5–10+ years) holders have historically been rewarded.

Last Update: 30th May 2026

Ethereum logo

Ethereum

Safety: ★★☆☆☆ℹ️
High risk – typically larger price swings than Bitcoin. Short-term drops of 50%+ are common in bear phases. Returns from capital appreciation plus staking yields (~3% on eToro).

Higher risk than Bitcoin due to greater volatility, no fixed supply cap, upgrade dependencies, and competition — despite strong network effects and utility in DeFi/NFTs/RWAs.

NVIDIA logo

NVIDIA

Safety: ★★★☆☆ℹ️
Moderate-high risk – single-stock concentration with high valuation and growth expectations baked in. Short-term swings of 30–50%+ are common in tech sector corrections.

NVIDIA’s dominant position in AI accelerators, explosive earnings growth, and central role in the AI boom make it a premier long-term growth story, despite company-specific and sector risks.

Latest Results: $337.59 net value
