So yesterday I discovered that back in 2019 I got about $20 worth of Stellar XLM in Blockchain.com. I think it was like an airdrop or whatever, they came for free that's for sure. They're worth about $80 now.
I was gonna move them to a wallet, but then I saw that you can earn interest in Blockchain.com. Not sure if you can do it for any crypto, but you can definitely do it for Stellar.
So I figured, okay, since Blockchain.com gave me these coins, I'll leave them there and put them to earn interest. I generally like to be divesified and not hold all my money/crypto in 1 place, so I figure I'll leave these cryptos over there, and if something goes wrong and I lose some cryptos that I keep someplace else, at least I won't lose everything.
So the interest seems to be up to 8% on Stellar
So yesterday I put my Stellar to earn interest. And yesterday was the last month of February, and since the interest comes monthly, today I already received some interest:
Anyway the reason I'm making this thread is because I wish I knew about this earlier. I've had my XLM there for 2 years collecting dust. Had I known about this I would have put them to earn interest earlier.
I paid no fee to put them to earn interest by the way.
So if you have some cryptos sitting in Blockchain.com, you may wanna check this out
Note: I don't know if the interest thing locks the crypto for a certain amount of time. And if it does, I don't know if there's a fee to take them out of your interest account before that time expires. If you care about this then do your own research
