Hello everyone,
Hope you’re well!
As always - this is most definitely Not Financial Advice.
I will start with some general thoughts of my own - the time to learn about the market is in the bera. It is so much easier now to spot teams who are really working and building daily, forming their products and communities day after day. Teams who constantly build and ship in times like thess, are imo truly here to create interesting products, with real vision behind them.
These are the ones who are truly in it for the tech. And, all jokes aside, the tech is in fact just a tool - designed to help us humans create better ways to communicate and engage.
Respect, dear bulidoors.
We all thank you.
In addition, the time to find a job in crypto is actually now as well. It’s easier to stand out, get noticed. There’s a lot more noise and distractions when it’s bull time and another $dogeelonmarsshibmoon token is launched every hour.
If you see projects you like - pay attention, ask, interact, offer your skills in your own way - the revolution is still on, and actually, it’s getting bigger. The anount of smart people I find daily is astonishing. Bright minds are flocking, and if you feel it - it might be because you want to join and be a part in building too.
The time is now.
And now, let’s look at some interesting stuff I’ve found for us today.
Fitsr story - BlockFi and FTX have reached a deal:
Ryan Selkis tweeted:
Onto some other CeFi news - 3AC has filed gor chapter 15 bankruptcy.
One of the most educated people I follow in the space is Adam Cochran.
I recommend you read his tweet about the Circle (the $USDC issuer) rumors and FUD:
Average Joe’s Crypto tweeted about some other rumors and FUD. I know nothing about the situation on KuCoin, yet seeing the markets and the CeFi situation these past two months - I personally do not recommend anyone keeping any funds on a centralized exchange tbh.
Not your keys - not your coins.
bartek.eth had an interesting thread addressing the differences between putting your money on different CeFi entities and DeFi protocols:
Thanks to kabat for the RT that made me watch it.
DeFiAlpha (Lex O) also tweeted:
I think this tweet by DCinvestor.eth ⌐◨ is connected to these issues mentioned above -
Let’s move on to some new videos that will give you a lot of quality listening material this coming weekend - starting with one of my favorites - the Flywheel Podcast.
This tome it’s was with charlie from Pitch:
Full episode:
Moving on to another great podcast - KingMaker. On this episode, the guest was coinflipcanada from GMX.
Hearing these guys on both podcasts talk on such high levels - is exactly what makes me bullish on crypto and DeFi.
Not financial advice - yet a cultural advice indeed.
I love listening so smart young people.
Respect.
Another interesting video on a much more famous podcast was CZBinance joining the Bankless duo for a talk:
On a personal note - as someone living outside of the US, I most definitely confirm by feeling that Binance is by far the biggest crypto tool and onboarder in my area, and honestly, it’s not even close.
Bought my crypto there and that’s how for me it all started.
Respect.
Btw, if you’re into jpegs, Bankless have a specific show about them -
Overpriced JPEGs with Carly Reilly.
Moving on - I think it’s been long enough since we’ve last spoken about Convex and Curve:
One of the highly educated people writing a lot about the unlockening-relockening is DefiShaka.eth - a very recommended follow if you’re interested in the ecosystem.
I also recommend you read his talk with Haym Salomon in the replies to a tweet by Haym: (the tweet is about 0xCLever):
We’ve spoken about buildoors. A very famous and capable one is TzTok-Chad.
He had his own tweet about CVX 0.00%↑ :
Saint Rat Wrongtail tweeted about $CRV and $cvxCRV being equally priced again:
CryptoCondom made me see this one by toki, about Umami:
CryptoCondom also made me see this one by Patrick Scott aboutUmami:
Full video:
Let’s look at some extra tweets before we wrap this edition for today:
Nick Drakon wrote something I want to share:
YettyWapp with an interesting insight:
banteg with his new crush:
And for conclusion - Autism Capital found something really funny for us. Thanks guys.
Thanks for reading everyone, have a great day and a great weekend!
