Only 7 out of 51 tokens finished green this week.

Everyone panics during corrections but this is actually when you spot the best long term plays.

Everything's kinda cooked but holds the strongest has the best chance of bouncing back.

Some observations:

• Revenue/buyback tokens only dropped -7.05% while 86% of everything else went red. The sector with actual cash flows and token sinks barely got scratched. Fundamentals give you a floor when everything else falls apart.

• Bitcoin down 22.35% sounds rough but it’s not doing too bad compared to everything else. ETH lost 33.4%, SOL dropped 33.6%, average altcoin fell around 30%. BTC’s the king for a reason.

• $STABLE, $KITE, $CC, and $HYPE were basically the only winners. $STABLE up over 72%. They don't share a sector but they all had their own specific catalyst. Revenue mechanics, protocol upgrades, unique positioning.

• AI/DePIN averaged -36% if you take out the $KITE outlier. That’s worse than memecoins. KITE at +55% covers up how bad the rest did.

• Memecoins dropped -33% on average. Worse than every sector except privacy. FARTCOIN at -49.2% :-(. Hard to call these "cheap fun bets" when the average memecoin gave back a third of its value.

(Data is over the past 7 days)

Corrections show you what's real. Pay attention to what barely moved because those are usually the ones that rip the hardest on the way back up.Image

Bros, our bags are down bad so we might as well farm @_kaitoai Yaps 😭

• Yaps are speculated to be worth up to ~ $100 each
• Some are receiving $ 1-3 per yap for weekly votes

Steal my cheatsheet of 14 proven Yap templates (with recent examples):
1. Deep Dives

The X algorithm loves long articles right now. This one went viral and earned a few hundred yaps.

Do a deep dive on a hot sector or protocol.

2. Lessons Essay

Agents such as @aixbt and @mobyagent will replace a lot of KOLs. But something they can't replicate are human stories.

In a sea of data and clickbait, people yearn for stories.

The #1 sector I'm bullish on now is DeFAI

It went from 1.2B to 2.2B in the past 7 days, and shows no signs of slowing down

The space is moving FAST - don't get left behind.

Here's a roundup of the latest DeFAI Protocol updates & new agents to catch you up: Image
DeFAI tokens saw insane Price Action the past week.

But Trump's new memecoin is sucking the liquidity out of all altcoins.

This a great time to go shopping for some DeFAI tokens. A bunch of protocols are still in Alpha testing now and should be launching soon.
@Griffaindotcom does the 1st agent to agent purchase.

There's a demonstration of it purchasing Coffee beans using Crypto. Huge - we're using a.i. agents to do real world transactions using Crypto.

A.I. Agents will be THE defining sector of this cycle.

With a total market cap of only $7.39B, you're still early.

@virtuals_io is the ecosystem to explore if you want to make money with AI agents.

Here's your playbook to Virtuals (+the top protocols):
Quick 80/20:

• AI agents are advanced artificial intelligence systems that can complete tasks or make decisions

• People describe Virtuals on Base as "Pump. fun" for A.I. agents

• Some of these bots have started taking over Crypto Twitter. and it's not slowing down.
Why I'm Bullish on Agents

• People are tired of the "same old" - another infrastructure project, perp dex, or Layer 2. People want to play with unique, tangible products.

• Fairer token distribution - most agents are launching w/o VC

• It attracts EVERYONE on the curve

There's 1 sector that CZ, Vitalik, & Brian Armstrong are all bullish on:

DeSci

Decentralized Science has been one of the best performing sectors so far this month. And you're still early.

Here's your guide to DeSci (and the top protocols):
Why is DeSci Hot Now?

DeSci has been around for several years already. However, the category's financial performance and mindshare accelerated the past 7 days.

• Several tokens are up by xxx%.

• It's "mindshare" has soared

So, I investigated to see what's going on: Image
Image
These two KEYS events happened earlier this month that drove hype to DeSci:

• Nov 8th: Binance Labs invests in BIO Protocol - their 1st investment in DeSci. Bio Protocol is kinda like the y-combinator for on-chain science.

• Nov 13th: CZ and Vitalik attend an informal talk on DeSci organized by Labs in Bangkok

Risk management is the most important skill in Crypto.

If you don’t manage your risks, the market will manage it for you.

20 smart rules to lower your risks (and increase profits):
Rotate Faster

Narratives and sentiment shift quickly. New protocols can Usurp market leaders within weeks.

Stay on top of the markets. Get in early, and get out before everyone else does.
Leave the Last 20% to Someone Else

Whenever you’re taking profits, it's tempting to try to time the top. You want to squeeze every % of profit you can.

But this is impossible, and mistiming it could lead you to becoming a bag holder.

Don't be greedy.
