We are the Traderskew OGs, seeking Alpha all across #crypto, #NFTs, #DeFi, #GameFi, #Macro, and #trading.
But what does that really mean, and are we, really?
Here's an introduction - a 🧵
1A/ Interlude
But hey! Before we tell our story, did you know that as part of our grand Twitter Opening, we'll be embarking on a series of #giveaways?
We heard that the grand prize is an NFT to join us, which at the time of this tweet has a floor price of 31 sol!
Stay tuned!
2/ Beginnings
Our home in Discord wasn't our first - we at Traderskew began as a paid crypto-desk subscription at Macrohedged, founded by @TraderSkew.
In late 2021, a proposal was put forward for a new home in Discord, with access gated by our very own NFT.
@TraderSkew 3/ Our Community
Once we came together, magic happened. By providence, we'd assembled some of the most helpful and resourceful people on the planet. Individuals may be limited, but collectively we had varied deep specialisations and a huge willingness to share amongst ourselves.
@TraderSkew 4/ DeFi
Our first love was #DeFi.
Our OGs scoured blockchains for the best #YieldFarming opportunities. To manage price risk, we looked for ways to keep delta neutral. We kept our stacks fresh and safe.
To this day, we pride ourselves in being prudent DeFi yield farmers.
@TraderSkew 5/ DeFi
We share with each other.
Here's an old leveraged yield farming guide by Gigachad @Get2DaChoppaaah showing a small glimpse of what we do for each other. Our OGs were in pseudo delta neutral leveraged #YieldFarming positions long before platforms automated these.

@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah 6/ DeFi
Delta neutral yields didn't only come from yield farming - our OGs arbitraged and earned from funding rates, basis trades, and market making.
This has allowed various of our OGs to continue staying afloat and turning a profit even during the recent tumultuous times!
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah 7/ Algo Trading
We seek alpha where it is to be found. That's also why some of our OGs coded their own bots for algo trading. This was great because of the sharp movements in the market that we've been seeing...
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah 8/ NFTs
Again, we seek alpha where it is to be found. How could we forget NFTs?
Some of our OGs dived into the exploding NFT market early, particularly on Solana. Needless to say, we're seeing more and more of our OGs sporting sexy blue chip NFT PFPs...
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah 9/ GameFi
Closely linked to #NFTs is our interest in #GameFi - we have some of the most successful #Crabada b...grinders slash whales. We were in (and out of) Pizza Game early. In early, and out in time.
We remain on the lookout for the next big thing!
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah 10/ Trading
For many of our OGs, #trading is in the blood. We're full of professional traders (and ex-traders) and there are bigbrained trading ideas discussed.
Let's not forget that as things stand, #crypto remains highly correlated with our #TradFi markets...
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah 11/ Trading
Oh yes - we very rarely make degen trades. That's not us. But when we do... there's a good reason 😉
We also have a nice grasp on events to short. Let's have more of those juicy unlocks!
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah 12/ Macro
Oh yes - speaking of the high correlation with #TradFi markets...
That's why our very own megabrain OGs @skughered and Daps keep the closest tabs on what's going on in #TradFi and the #macro horizon so that our OGs get sound perspectives on the bigger picture.
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah @skughered 13/ Research
We don't just trawl and scour the web for new protocols an #DeFi opportunities.
We have subscriptions to a whole array of resources including Messari, Delphi Digital, Glassnode, Genesis, etc).
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah @skughered 14/ Research
Our OGs are also in myriad other research reports (including TradFi) are shared amongst ourselves. Ask and you'll (probably) receive!
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah @skughered 15/ Community Alpha
Our OGs are in many of the top DAOs and Alpha groups, and we aim to identify opportunities at the earliest stage.
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah @skughered 16/ Community Alpha
We feel that the quality of our community is amongst the best in the space. At Traderskew you will find intelligent and mature discussion - don't discount this, as this is remarkably hard to find in the space we're in.
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah @skughered 17/ Our People
At Traderskew, it’s not all about work.
Several channels are dedicated to ‘that other life’ (irl) and how could we forget, good ol' shitposting!
Charity is close to our hearts as well - we have raising funds for various good causes. Join us in this endeavour.
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah @skughered 18/ Our People
Our diversity is our strength, and our people matter. We may seek alpha, but our key resource is people, our own OGs.
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah @skughered 19/ Our People
Amongst our OGs are property experts, developers, doctors, chefs and everything in between. Whatever issues you may face, there's likely to be an OG ready to help you out with some expert advice.
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah @skughered 20/ Treasury
Our sizeable treasury is in the expert care of extremely smart and accomplished pros. With treasury growth, we're looking at ways to invest profits in our OGs. After all, our project IS our community. Exciting benefits for our OGs are coming - stay tuned!
@TraderSkew @Get2DaChoppaaah @skughered 21/ Join Us!
We have big plans, whether in bull, bear or crab markets.
Join us by getting an NFT from Magic Eden!
