Look into a Pi Hole, it's a super effective way to block ALL adverts on every device in your house, but there is so much you can do with it. Be careful, plenty of people get addicted to it...

I really like the idea of the Raspberry PI so I think I am going to go for it. I'm defiantly going to get it water cooled!

Xiaomi Mi Band 3 seems like a cool thing.

I actually have one already xD so far it's working quite well.

Maybe a smart home device? 
Perhaps a Raspberry PI?

More storage?

What storage would you recommend (something USB A or type C)

Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ravencoin, Ethereum, pick a coin you like and buy it, prices are pretty low right now.

Whatever suits, my next purchase is a 64GB USB Type C thumbstick.

But the PI is a great way to pass time and learn a new skill, you could get a rasp pi and 32gb sd card and have a PI Hole set up and running

The craze is over so I most likely will not gain much.

Which PI should I get and what skills do you recommend learning?

crypto moves in waves, just because the mining craze from earlier this year is over doesn't mean profiting off buying coin is over, you don't buy while the market is hot, you buy while it's down, thats how you make money in it.

 

crypto has spiked and dropped several times over the last decade, remember when everyone thought a $600 Bitcoin price was crazy? now it's over 10 times that.

Yeah I get what you are saying, and I have tried to get into crypto currency. It seems like everywhere I look for advice the information just doesn't make too much sense. I get the basics like buy low sell high but I don't know the most trustworthy seller or the safest wallet.

You could always go for a large pepperoni pizza with a desert side that normally climbs the cost up to about $50 from most pizza places.

Coinbase Pro if available in your country is an easy way to buy, then from there transfer it to a paper wallet and hold it for like 10-15 years and come back and see what it's worth.
