Blog: Not much to monetise, afaik exchanges don't have affiliate programs, which leaves you to linking to sites where you can turn fiat into BTC, eg Coinbase. These are pretty crappy programs imo: https://99bitcoins.com/get-earn-bitcoins...-programs/ eg Coinbase you can earn $10. Better with a blog is monetising into a private slack/telegram where there is a monthly fee to join.
Hedge fund: got one after the other popping up. I guess (depending on your background) with all the hype atm it's quite easy to get some funds/investors in. Quick math is you need to get well over >$2-3M to make this your main income plus comply with regulations and pay some lawyers big money before you can even get it started.
Creating your own coin: Have been thinking a lot about that, just like the other thousands who jumped into this the last weeks/months. While returns can be massive, it's getting harder and harder, you need to spend tons on marketing (FB ads, twitter..) and good publicity. This market is just getting mental currently with new coins signing up celebrities to promote their coin on IG or as member of the team. Some coins are even promoting themselves as 'coin founded by an ex-model'. Other issue here is you (kind of) need a product or solve an issue, just like a start-up to get people hyped. Target big markets (eg coin for airmiles, hotel vouchers, online casinos, porn, finance...)
My personal take, starting some private community would be the easiest way to profit. Profits can be huge (monthly fees range from 0.05BTC-0.15BTC) with 0 investment ($30 Slack membership). Downside is you need a good following/rep to start with or you can try to sign up some 'famous' crypto-traders through Twitter to join and pay them based on the earnings in your community. When you get a community with 100 paid members at 0.05BTC that's $21k/month.
I like the idea of 'interwoven' businesses, so you could build up a following from your private community or pay the traders to shill the coin you create. Doing it the other way around is a lot harder (and costlier).
Can always PM me if you want to talk further.
