Day one volume already surpassed $4b.

$BTC could race towards ATH leading up to the halvening.

$BTC historically performs well leading upto, and beyond the halvening so this is very plausible.

Maker (@MakerDAO) has gone from a $500M to $1B+ market cap in the last 30 days.

I look for four things in a token during a bear market:

1) Low token inflation and unlocks
2) Upcoming catalysts
3) Solid token value accrual
4) Large and diversified treasury

Finding all four during a bear market is rare.

Today, $FXS matches all these criteria.

(x/5) 1) FRAX has achieved the DeFi Quadruple seamlessly:

- Stablecoin (FRAX)
- Lending & Borrowing (FRAX Lend)
- Swap (Frax Swap)
- Staking (frxETH)

All fees from each of the above will flow directly to $veFXS holders.

Token inflation is also pretty low.

NEW NARRATIVE ALERT 🚨

Token up 5x in 10 days.

$UNIBOT is a trading and sniping bot that allows you to buy or sell tokens on Uniswap directly through Telegram.

(x/5) 1) $UNIBOT is the apotheosis of degenerate meme season.

It reduces the friction involved in aping into altcoins.

Here's the top 4 protocols that saw up-only TVL on ALL 3 time frames - daily, weekly and monthly:

- @ArrakisFinance
- @ConicFinance
- @LybraFlnanceLSD
- @matrixdock

Let's analyze these protocols and figure out why they're pumping (x/4). 1) Arrakis Finance

Automated and Trustless Liquidity Management for Uniswap v3.

It allows LPs to automate their strategies. No more stress from constant position monitoring.

Arrakis has teased a potential airdrop of the $SPICE token.

TVL growth could be airdrop farming.

I stumbled across an insanely profitable trader worth almost $20m.

This smart money trader has a ~90% win rate, which is exceptional in a bear market.

Let's learn from this "Win-rate Wizard" and analyze his portfolio in detail. (x/5) 1) Portfolio Holdings

$SHIB ($4.1m) - 21%
$ETH ($3m) - 15%
$MATIC ($2.2m) - 11%
$LRC ($1.5m) - 7.5%
$BNB ($1.2m) - 6%

Our wizard is clearly bullish on Ethereum scaling.

Other Holdings - $OKC, $MTL, $RLC, $ELF, $AST. Low-cap gems?

Time in the market beats timing the market.

Contrary to popular belief, this is especially true in crypto.

Let's take samurai.eth for example. He made profits in excess of $59m this year.

(x/6) 1) He DCA'd into $WBTC and $ETH at good levels.

He unwound some DeFi positions and locked in his gains.

And transferred a majority of his gains to exchanges.

While others bought and sold repetitively daily, samurai.eth remained steadfast in his longer term bets.

Are certain assets in my portfolio too risky?

Maybe my entire portfolio is constructed riskily.

What's my Lending risk? staking risk? borrowing risk?

Well, wonder no more.

@loch_chain tells you exactly what risk you're exposed to in seconds.

Here are 7 examples. 1. Token float risk:

Loch lets you know if the circulating supply is much lower than the FDV for one of your tokens.

This could mean the price will plummet as insiders' shares unlock.
