My DeFi marketing studio has been working with @GainsNetwork_io for 5 months.

Here's how we organically gained 20,500 followers and brought 3,200 new traders to gTrade: First off, marketing doesn't happen in a vacuum.

We take nowhere near 100% of the credit for gTrade's recent successes.

There are many other members of the team having a massive impact. The product is also incredible (no bias here 😉), which makes marketing that much smoother.

Most people would hate the nomad lifestyle.

17 truths about being a digital nomad:

(from my Airbnb in Costa Rica) Laundry is a pain in the ass.

4 steps to $1,000 as a crypto writer:

(how I would start over) Earning your first $1 writing online is tough.

Earning your first $1,000 is tougher.

Most people quit before they do.

But with a proper system, it becomes much easier.

$1,000 can quickly turn into $10,000.

I've done $30,000+ in the past 2 months as a DeFi writer & consultant.

All without any coding experience.

Here are 8 no-code tools I use daily:

(how many have you heard of?) In January, I began my full-time journey as a DeFi technical writer.

Since then, I have:

• Written 1000+ pieces of content
• Grown from 100 to 6250 on Twitter
• Branched into DeFi strategy consulting

+ more.

All in a bear market.

8 tools have made it possible.

Your 2-minute TL;DR on:

• The ETH/BTC ratio
• The Flippening
• The Merge

🧵 The current ETH/BTC market cap ratio is 43.1%.

Based on:

• ETH market cap of $247.5 billion
• BTC market cap of $574 billion

Will ETH overtake BTC?

Being active on Ethereum layer 2 rollups will reward you bigly.

Everything you must know to dominate L2'22 (with airdrop alpha): L2 rollups have never been more relevant.

Today I'll cover:

• Optimistic vs Zero-knowledge rollups

While Crypto Twitter hunts for the next passive income ponzi, Babylon Finance continues to innovate.

They're an asset management protocol built for Web3, offering:

• Investment DAOs
• Community-led DeFi strategies
• Transparent governance, tokenomics, rewards

Deep-dive 🧵👇 @BabylonFinance enables non-custodial community investing, allowing members to propose and vote on DeFi strategies.

I'm impressed with the level of attention dedicated to every aspect of their protocol.

We'll get into it all.

One thing to mention first:

I quit my engineering job three months ago to spend all my w̶o̶r̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ waking hours in DeFi.

If you want to do the same, read this: I've learned a LOT from my leap and want to share the alpha.

I'm currently writing from the coast of Italy. This flexibility wouldn't have been possible for me last year.

But it also won't be possible for you without a plan to make money.

That's why I'm writing this thread.

Lido and Rocket Pool are the two largest ETH liquid staking pools.

Lido:
• $10b in TVL
• 88.8% of the market share

Rocket Pool:
• $522m in TVL
• 4.6% of the market share

From a user perspective, the two are similar. But under the hood, they're drastically different.

🧵 You can stake ETH directly on the beacon chain before the merge, but it requires:

• 32 ETH (>$100,000)
• Technical expertise
• Funds locked for months

Naturally, liquid staking protocols were born.

The ETH staked on these protocols has grown rapidly since Lido's launch:

My $CULT (@wearecultdao) holding is up 15,000% since I invested during the public pre-launch.

Crypto "gurus" would say YOU can do the same by following their three-step process.

The reality is far less convenient.

Quick thread 🧵👇 CULT DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization seeking to fund those building and contributing to the future of Web3.

Purchase the $CULT token, stake it for $dCULT, and vote on which proposals to fund + earn a staking APY.

The first rule of CULT: Talk about CULT.

ETH to $10,000 after the Merge? Discounted cash flow models are estimating this.

If you're stacking ETH for the Merge, you should be earning passively from it too.

Top 5 ETH yield strategies 🧵👇 First, why people are SO bullish on the Merge:

• $ETH became (partially) deflationary after EIP-1559. The Merge will cut validator rewards drastically to solidify this. (New ETH supplied < ETH burned)
• PoS is >99.99% more energy efficient
• Expected staking rewards of 10-15%

Disclaimer: I'm not including any stablecoin savings or non-correlated assets in this. It's intentional.

The portfolio has a mix of long-term holdings & degen plays. Adjust the %s to match your risk tolerance.

We'll go from largest to smallest holding. Try not to be this guy 👇 1. 33% $ETH

A no-brainer in my eyes. The most secure & decentralized smart-contract-capable blockchain.

Block-space demand is high & the merge is coming. We'll have a deflationary token and network that produces reliable revenue for “shareholders”.

STRATEGY: Hold and/or stake.

What in the world are The Curve Wars? And who are the major players?

Most explanations are more complex than they need to be.

I'll break it all down and include the best ways for YOU to earn passively from these liquidity battles.

Let's dive in 🧵👇 Two things make the DeFi world go round:

• Liquidity
• Incentives

Protocols want liquidity, and we want incentives. We say we're in it for the tech, but we're also greedy.

Protocols understand this. They fight for our liquidity, incentivizing us with creative rewards.

@TitanoFinance is the first automatic staking and compounding cryptocurrency with fixed APY.

Earn 102,483% APY just by holding $TITANO. That's a 9.94% 5-day ROI.

Let's jump into the details with a thread: Titano Finance is built on the binance smart chain.

The $TITANO token is an elastic auto-stake token that earns holders rewards through a positive rebase formula.

The 102,483% APY seems too good to be true.

Here’s how the protocol is able to operate…

@tombfinance is the first algorithmic stablecoin on Fantom Opera.

It offers an 150% APY for staking to the TOMB-FTM-LP liquidity pool while benefiting from $FTM price increases.

Let's get into the details. Tomb Finance is built on Fantom Opera.

Opera is a blockchain network that emphasizes speed and security. They advertise leaderless proof-of-stake, fast finality, and lots more.

Fantom has a market capitalization of over 7 billion. Its $FTM coin is up over 100x in the past year.
