Why I Hold $500,000 Of This Crypto

    I hold $500,000 worth of a crypto called
    flux right now now some people hold a
    lot more others less but for me this is
    a significant portion of my portfolio
    totaling over
    25% so why hold so much well that’s what
    this video is all about first let’s
    backtrack I started mining buying and
    earning flux over six years ago when I
    first found the project the week they
    launched and one of my biggest wins with
    flux has been running their flux nodes
    as of right now I’ve got 12 flux nodes
    which at current price prices have been
    generating $3500 to $4,300 per month for
    the past 3 months so my average monthly
    income from these so far this year would
    equate to almost $47,000 a year if that
    continues which is not a bad passive
    income salary last Bull Run flux peaked
    at just over $3 and the good news is
    that I think it still has a ton of
    upside potential if things go well over
    the next year or two so what the flux is
    flux you ask well imagine a world where
    you have an internet that’s not
    controlled by major corporations like
    Amazon or Google but is instead powered
    by us the users wouldn’t that be nice
    well that’s the vision that flux is
    turning into reality flux is an
    infrastructure or dpin project that
    combines blockchain as a service and
    decentralized Computing all powered by
    the flux blockchain and using proof of
    work to secure the network this has huge
    implications and is one of the main
    reasons why flux is one of my top AI
    crypto picks even though it’s not
    directly AI related but more on that not
    in a minute flux is similar to cloud
    service providers like Amazon web
    services AWS and Google Cloud just a lot
    smaller for now the key difference is
    that while these Giants use traditional
    web 2 as their native environment flux
    relies on blockchain technology or what
    we call Web 3 this allows flux to take
    advantage of some really cool features
    that blockchains have to offer such as
    greater security and decentralization
    you can buy flux but you can also mine
    flux which is how I started with flux
    and if you buy flux you can’t run nodes
    to earn more flux passively it’s a
    fluxing cycle and I’ll dig more into the
    nodes in a moment the flux coin is used
    to buy nodes pay Network fees run
    applications on the flux Network and
    vote on major decisions via their Dow
    but flux is not just about having their
    own network flux also runs on a bunch of
    different blockchains which include many
    of the major ones like ethereum binance
    smart chain salana polygon and a bunch
    of other ones flux was launched in 2018
    as a fork of zcash which itself is a
    fork of Bitcoin which is where the proof
    of work mining comes from well in March
    of 2021 zelcash changed its name to flux
    and the zel coin became flux and flux is
    a much cooler name in my opinion because
    after all the DeLorean and Back to the
    Future wasn’t powered by a zel capacitor
    the flux capacitor now this change
    wasn’t just a Rebrand but an actual full
    pivot of the project that put its focus
    where it is today the current three
    co-founders emerged through this change
    in the project they are Daniel Keller to
    De is kmenta and Parker hunman as of
    recently flux has been transitioning to
    a proof of useful work model which will
    allow more than just the mining of the
    coin to take place on the network it
    will let all the miners out there do a
    laundry list of other useful tasks as
    well and if you want to dive deeper into
    flux’s Vision check out this interview I
    did with the CEO of flux Daniel Keller
    so how does flux fit in with the current
    crypto cycle and AI narrative from
    making smarter cars to diagnosing
    diseases faster than Dr House AI has
    been in the spotlight for some time now
    and we’ve seen massive gains on AI
    themed coins but AI comes with a hefty
    price tag one of the biggest issues in
    AI development is that there’s not
    enough computational infrastructure
    which is made even worse by the hardware
    shortages and the high cost of gpus I
    mean have you seen how much an Nvidia
    4090 cost then there’s the problem of AI
    becoming centralized in the hands of a
    few Tech Giants well interlux and its
    Secret Sauce proof of useful work by
    slashing the cost of computational grunt
    work flux is also opening the doors to
    AI for everyone think of it as the
    Costco of AI bulk resources wholesale
    prices but sorry no flux branded $150
    hot dog and Coke yet and don’t worry
    I’ve got a million more incredible
    marketing ideas where that one came from
    flux team if you’re watching and because
    flux is decentralized it means that
    there’s no single big player that can
    monopolize all all the computational
    power so how does flux actually work as
    I said flux is a proof of work
    blockchain with half the flux reward is
    going to Miners and the other half going
    to flux nodes while the traditional
    proof of work miners continue to secure
    the flux blockchain proof of useful work
    allows miners to rent out some of these
    resources and get rewarded with flux in
    exchange and instead of all that
    computational power going to waste flux
    is using it for training AI models
    gaming streaming rendering and other
    uses this approach not only eases the
    pressure on Hardware demand but also
    makes scaling infrastructure easier as
    the needs of the AI industry growth
    flux’s next feature is their Cloud where
    instead of your data lounging around in
    some Mega corporation’s data center your
    information is spread out in nodes all
    over the world what’s also cool about
    this is it can potentially lower costs
    and avoid any single central point of
    failure flux has even partnered with
    WordPress to host your website in a web
    3 friendly and decentralized way making
    your website cheaper and faster to host
    in fact if you go to flux’s own website
    run onf flux.io that site is running on
    flux’s cloud which is running on their
    node Network and it’s super fast it’s
    pretty Rad but here’s where this gets
    really cool flux is called an
    infrastructure project because it isn’t
    just a single blockchain the next
    feature is called parallel assets flux
    has created something called parallel
    assets on 10 other blockchains that will
    be interchangeable with the main flux
    chain this is great because it helps
    flux be interop operable meaning
    compatible with a bunch of other chains
    but this is also a big deal because it
    opens the door for big exchanges to list
    them without needing to adopt the main
    flux blockchain so less friction like
    when binance first listed flux they did
    so with the flux token on the binance
    smart chain Network and it was super
    easy this also means that these flux
    tokens were distributed to Holders
    across 10 other major blockchain
    networks meaning that if you held flux
    coins in your zelcore wallet which is
    the official flux wallet when they took
    a snapshot to distribute these tokens
    you could have essentially been aird
    dropped these new tokens I’ve made tens
    of thousands of dollars because of this
    it’s an incredible incentive to be a
    part of the flux community and to be a
    long-term holder of flux these
    Integrations include many of the major
    blockchains such as eth binance smart
    chain salana Avalanche polygon Tron Etc
    to name a few and the latest and perhaps
    most important one is flux integrating
    with Bitcoin now unfortunately the
    snapshot for the Bitcoin flux uh token
    has already been taken as of October of
    2023 and claiming is expected to be live
    in June of this year but don’t worry
    though if you miss that one there will
    likely be future ones this is also very
    important because it makes it a lot
    easier for flux to access the immense
    Capital locked in ecosystems such as
    salana or eth or Bitcoin especially with
    the Bitcoin defi narrative heating up
    the next feature is their wallets the
    flux zelcore wallet can be be used to
    store over 250 assets and nfts across
    any flux supported blockchains and
    integrates directly with major exchanges
    this is all in one convenient place but
    they also just launched their SSP wallet
    or secure simple powerful wallet now
    that’s in the earlier stages but it
    looks pretty great so far the next flux
    feature is flux Labs flux also operates
    a web 3 incubation and accelerator
    program known as flux Labs which helps
    launch new projects within the flux
    ecosystem and while this isn’t something
    new the standout feature here is its
    affordability unlike other initiatives
    in the space that demand a hefty amount
    of the Project’s tokens for assistance
    flux Labs provides IT services at no
    cost whatsoever the next feature is the
    flux X Dow and the entire flux ecosystem
    is governed by it this is a place where
    the community can submit and vote on
    proposals for the future of flux and
    where flux node operators can vote to
    accept or reject the proposals so as you
    can see there’s a lot of value to be had
    in owning a flux node and for me at
    least flux nodes are where the magic
    really happens flux nodes are real nodes
    that have actual tangible utility they
    require you to run Hardware that the
    flux network will utilize all the D apps
    built on flux aren’t hosted on some
    massive corporate server instead they’re
    powered by flux nodes operated by folks
    just like you and me and this is
    everywhere around the planet by setting
    up a flux node you can contribute to the
    Network’s computational power and in
    return you earn flux and you know Andy
    loves passive income now there are three
    types of nodes that you can run and the
    best one for you depends on how much
    money you are willing to invest the
    first tier is a cumulus node and for
    this you will need to lock up 1,000 flux
    in collateral or about $1,000 USD as of
    today and that will earn you
    16.8% APR the next one is Nimbus nodes
    which require 12,500 flux or about
    $122,500 as of today and will earn you
    about a 10.4% APR and the biggest ones
    are called Stratus nodes which cost a
    hefty 40,000 flux or about 40,000 USD as
    of today and these will earn about
    7.44% per year right now now all of
    these returns change as more or less of
    each node tier are online I run 11
    Stratus nodes and one Nimbus node right
    now I had more Nimbus nodes running but
    recently I turn those off and I’ll
    likely just stand up another Stratus
    node because for me less nodes is less
    for me to think about and I’m hosting
    all of these nodes at node orbit.com and
    I don’t just host all my flux nodes at
    node orbit I host all of my nodes at
    node orbit.com node orbit makes it super
    super easy to run nodes when it comes to
    flux nodes they do most of the heavy
    lifting of the setup for you and the
    prices are super reasonable there’s a
    link to them down in the description now
    flux also gives you a 15% boost in flux
    earnings by having the cumulus fraus
    add-on you can activate this option by
    simply providing at least 10 terabytes
    of storage flux is also planning Nimbus
    and Stratus practice nodes in the future
    but we don’t have any info on that yet
    and no ETA and lastly there are Titan
    nodes which are a great way for you to
    earn more flux without running a fullon
    node with as little as 50 flux you can
    lock up those coins for between 3 to 12
    months and then earn 3.19% to
    3.59% and one other important thing to
    note here is when I say lock up using
    your flux coins to run nodes is kind of
    like staking you lock them up in your
    zel core wallet but you can unlock them
    and spend them or transfer them at any
    time you’re in full control of them
    there’s no time limit you’re not
    spending these coins and never receiving
    them back they’re always yours you’re
    just temporarily locking them up in
    order to run these nodes but let’s get
    into the thing you’re probably the most
    curious about which is how high do I
    think the flux market cap can really go
    and therefore how high can the price of
    flux go well with deepin being a hot
    crypto narrative for 2024 and 2025 I’m
    expecting flu to do really well
    especially with the AI compute angle the
    current dpin market cap is only around
    20 to30 billion with flux sitting in at
    around $300 million which means flux is
    only about 1% slice of the entire dpin
    pie and my goodness it’s a tasty pie but
    there are already tons of projects using
    flux to run their infrastructure these
    include big names such as polka dot
    Caden Caspa and even smaller caps such
    as neoa radiant pre-search and that’s
    just to name a few there’s also the
    recent flux integration with with
    Bitcoin which coincides with the Bitcoin
    defi narrative and that can be a super
    strong Catalyst all this makes me super
    bullish on flux obviously and in this
    cycle my pricing Target is around $5 per
    flux on the low end which means a 5x
    from where we are now that would give it
    a $1.5 billion market cap which in my
    view is pretty conservative but for me
    even this modest market cap would boost
    my flux node earnings to over $114,000
    per month or
    $168,000 per year which is something I’d
    be very happy with to say the least but
    $5 per flux coin is just my base case
    though my bull case for flux cycle will
    be $10 to $20 or more per coin and that
    would mean a single cumulous node that
    you can buy for $11,000 today would be
    worth $10 to $20,000 and would be making
    almost
    $3,400 per year but as per usual don’t
    take my word for this dig into it all
    yourself and make your own decisions I
    just share what I’m doing what I’m
    interested in and you should not do too
    just because I am crypto is risky and
    you need to make responsible decisions
    with your own money so while I do love
    flux don’t just buy into it because I
    like it or because you hear that future
    Andy is making almost $200,000 a year
    passively with by nodes of course flux
    is just one of the many deepin
    opportunities right now watch this video
    to see a bunch of other incredible
    deepin plays that could be big winners
    over the next year goodbye

    This crypto makes up a pretty substantial part of my crypto portfolio… but why? Well, in this video, I’ll tell you exactly what it is, why I hold so much, and what I think about this project’s future. ▼▼

    1. Hey Andy ! I would add that Flux nodes are really easy to run, if you decide to host them at home to participate to a full decentralization. Passive income is the way. Thanks my friend.

    2. where do you stand on the very similar blockchain ICP? it has stellar pedigree, AI models on-chain, has been built over years, and is an on-chain cloud chain. can you compare FLUX and ICP please?

    3. Zelcore has Flux node dashboard, etc. Why separate the node to NodeOrbit? Was it an added layer of security?
      RPM said his Zelcore wallet was hacked so I was wondering which way to go. Thanks.

    4. Hi Andy, thanks for the cool video. I have a question: The APR is highest with the Cumulus, why did you choose the Stratus?
      Theoretically you could have bought the Cumulus 40 times and made 16.4% each time

    5. It’d be nice to be as wealthy as you. I’m sunk in debt and trying my hardest to get going. Do you offer any assistance outside of YouTube videos on how I can get going bro?

    6. I've noticed most of your videos are nothing more than you bragging about how much crypto you own and REALLY don't help anyone – especially the newbies.
