I'm sure a few if not all of us here are involved or related to Crypto one way or another. We share the same passion and some of us are always looking for new opportunities and new ventures.

As I continue my goal to have a steady passive income by the end of the year and I have found a great coin to do so with.

Burst coin is a coin that is mined with hard drives and not GPU. This means that the cost for the electricity is very very low reducing the overall impact of dirty GPU mining! I'm not going to go in depth on how that work but it is called Proof of Storage. there are plenty of tutorials and it coin is backed by an amazing community willing to help! Just jump in on the forums or chat (links below).

Although mining the coin with your HDD is great I think the most amazing part of all is the Asset exchange. Below are extracts from a great post from Jervis which explain perfectly.

What is the asset exchange:

The Burst Asset Exchange is a built-in peer-to-peer exchange into the Burst Wallet. It allows fast, secure, and decentralized trading of Burst Assets. Because of its (Asset Exchange) decentralized nature, there's no need for outside organizations or agencies to meddle with its affairs. There’s a wide range of application for potential investments or trades in Asset Exchange due to the fact that Burst Assets could be used as a token for almost anything with value.

What are Asset shares?
Shares in an Asset is an equivalent to an entitlement of ownership over the Asset you have invested in. A person who buys a portion (percentage) of an Asset’s capital becomes a shareholder and as such is entitled to a share of the Asset's profits.
Shares that are bought are able to be traded on the Asset Exchange. This can be done for many reasons such as to make your investment liquid, to swap into another product or Asset, or to realize a capital gain on the sale of the share as the market price is higher than the price you paid for the Asset.

Why buy Shares?

There are many benefits to owning Asset shares which make it an investment well worth adding to your investment portfolio in the Burst Universe.

5 advantages of investing in Asset shares

Capital growth
A long term objective of Asset share investment is to take advantage of capital growth. This occurs when an individual experiences significant capital gains from the shares they possess through increases in share prices. Some Assets also issue free or bonus shares to their shareholders as another way of passing on company profits or increases in their net worth.
Dividends
Ownership in an Asset entitles you to ownership of their net profits. Assets honor this entitlement to their shareholders in the form of dividends.
Another dividend approach used by some Asset Issuers is to have a portion of its dividends reinvested in the Asset. In this philosophy, additional shares are issued to shareholders, aside from paying out dividends in Burst.
Liquidity
By their nature, Asset shares are a very liquid product. They can be bought and sold quickly on the Asset Exchange platform. Trading on Asset Exchange also allows you to sell part of your share parcels rather than having to redeem the whole lot.
Diversification
Different Burst Assets have different characteristics, volatility and are affected by different circumstances. To minimize risk and maximize return, diversification of Assets is essential to achieving a return on your portfolio as close as possible to your target. In order to diversify your investment portfolio, you will probably have part of your Bursts invested in different Asset markets. Asset shares can be purchased through the Asset Exchange.
Shareholder Benefits
Some Assets offer/could offer/should offer/would offer benefits to shareholders when they use the services of the Asset or its subsidiaries (i.e. pools, faucets, gambling sites, marketplace, commissions, et cetera). In theory, a minimum number of shares need to be held to qualify for these benefits.

So the asset exchange is a place that makes it very simple and very secure to run a business on the block chain. This is a very unique thing about Burstcoin, not many other coins can do this!

I own shares in several Assets (businesses) and receive daily weekly and monthly Dividend payments directly to my Wallet. Here are a couple of examples:

Asset name: World mine

Dividends Paid: Weekly

Estimated dividend % rate: .7% weekly

URL: https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/3190/new-asset-worldmine-weekly-payouts-crowetic-managed-new-burst-partnership-forming

Quick example:

I bought shares at the original price of 90 per 1 share. I bought 10,000 shares at 90 a share for a total 900,000 BURST. Since the asset issuer said the next batch of shares would cost 100 then 105 the original shares sold out fairly quick.

So today (less than 1 month from purchase) my shares are worth 1,000,000 Burst since the assets are now worth 100 each. If i where to sell all my shares at 100 I would make 100,000 burst ight away.

However since I hold my shares and this asset pays weekly I get more less 6,800 Burst per Week ( $4.5 USD more less) !

This asset above is based on a large GPU mining operation managed by a trusted member of the Burst community. Check out the link above and you will see what I mean.

Another great example of a mining Asset call CCMNER100, this is solely an HDD mining farm that is constantly growing and releasing shares until the 1PB goal is met.

Asset name: CCMINER100

Dividends Paid: Daily

Estimated dividend % rate: 0.139%

URL: https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/2466/ann-ccminer_100tb-new-asset

This asset is based on a 100% Burst mining operation with a large goal of 1 PB ! The shares are currently going a 11.5 but the original price is 10 Burst per 1 Share. The shares worth 10Burst are constantly released until the goal is met. Keep a good eye and save some cash on some shares :)

In this particular case by purchasing shares you are able to obtain a portion of the mining results. These results are paid daily ! Each day you get paid an estimated 0.1% !

Quick example.

Purchasing an 8TB drive on amazon with shipping is more less $250. Once you get the drive you need to start plotting it (preparing it to mine). The plotting of the drive depends on your computer but it can take hours or days. Once done your 8 TB plotted drive will have more less 7.2TB usable.

This means if you mine with you drive for 24 hours for 1 month you will earn moreless 447 Burst per 1 Day or 13,410 Burst in 1 month.

If I took those same $250 or 350,000 Burst and put them to the CCMINER Asset I would earn 379 Burst per day or 11,370 Burst per week. (68 burst less per day or 2,040 per month)

As you see it is very similar, however what I like about the asset is that you avoid having the drives running at home and then if you want to sell the drives you will have to use ebay or similar to sell them. So selling the shares is similar to selling the drives but most importantly you can sell the shares for a higher share price (ideally). Also in a few months time Burst coin will be worth a lot more and the drives probably less hehe

These are just a few ways I have diversified my Burst coin investment during the past 6 months. I own 100TB of drives that have been mining with no issues for months. When I found the asset exchange I started to diversify my upgrades and re invest my earnings here.

Jump in on the Burst action before the price increases!

Cheers!
