You should be sacrificing your weekends to give everything you have to harvest all possible yield out of this market Oh, you're 22 and want to have fun with your friends? You will never have such easy opportunities for generational wealth even if you live another 80 years. *- a quote by someone wiser than me*
Some people on CT say that money solves their “problems” of getting their dream girl. I don't see it this way. Yes, money can probably buy these girls, but it will never be real. You can fly your dream girl down to Dubai, but she will never be genuinely interested in you if there’s no mutual connection and real physical attraction. Sorry boys, but she will always be more attracted to a tall, good-looking man with ambitions even if he doesn’t have as much money. This is just the law of nature. Flash all the money you want, but unless all you can bring to the table is money, all you will get is a fake trade-off in return. I’m saying this because you have to remember to work on yourself as well. Eg. being fat, hiding in front of your PC 24/7 in a dark room with acne, and only earning money will solve nothing but your money problems. She will ditch you the day she gets more options herself.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but being in crypto full-time can be tough for your physical & mental health. We spend so much time glued to our screens the majority of the time. Get some sun, take some breaks, and touch some grass. This is as much a note to myself as well.

history repeats itself, 95% of the coins that made ATH in 2021-2022 will never hit a new ATH again. Your job is to find the ones that w

BTC has 24 days left to reach nullM in the Balaji bet. Might be the easiest 40x ever. But somehow the price isn't going up. I don't understand.
A small dose of optimism came back in January this year. $BTC doubled, altcoins did 3-5x, and people started talking about the new bull market. Now in May, it all feels “over” again. It’s like entering a new bear market, although it has been here all the time.
Until next time, Tokyo ✌️ Featuring: @ethglobal.lens, @galverse.lens, and DAO Tokyo

If you scroll through Instagram and Tik Tok you can get the impression that crypto trading is easy. They flash profits of several 1,000% but in reality, if the leverage used is over let's say 2-5x on altcoins assume that the size is small. Don't get fooled.
I do not often listen to crypto podcasts, but 1000x with Avi is great. Recommend checking it out. https://t.co/e7L4C3BFDK

@lensprotocol: Creating a Web3 Social Ecosystem with @stani We all know that the current social media landscape isn't ideal. Lens is a new attempt at creating decentralized social media using blockchain as a social graph. During the interview we discussed the issues with social media today, the implications of creating a social graph on a blockchain that anyone can build on top of, and platform risk. You can find me on Lens as well and collect this interview as an NFT (very cheap and only 10) on Lenstube. https://lenstube.xyz/watch/0x01b70a-0x0d
On the frontend side, I'd love @memester.lens built in, so it's easy and fast to reply to a post with a meme or create one on the spot. On the protocol side it'd be great to have your .lens identity be multichain. Maybe chainlink CCIP can help on this side. .lens identity could also expand to become a proprietary wallet.

Will be doing an update thread on these each month, going over performance + allocation changes + new additions 🙂 Please remember though I am a dumb ape and just because I have some Twitter followers doesn’t mean I know more than anyone else. My point: always DYOR.
Nested V2 will be launching later this year as well and it’s going to be a game-changer for DeFi Details will be coming soon If you want more info on @NestedFi and the airdrop, check out the following thread they made last week with info: twitter.com/NestedFi/statu…
And again, if you want to keep track of them click the embed below or in the last tweet 🙂 Also, @NestedFi is going to be doing an airdrop for early users, so consider copying these or someone else's portfolios + starting your own 🙂 app.nested.fi/portfolios/arb…
Conclusion: Let me know what I left off/am missing! 🙂 Also: I do hold some very small positions in other tokens of teams I really like and do a bit of speculating + farming, but these lists should match my actual holdings pretty closely. app.nested.fi/portfolios/arb…
9. @vela_exchange: Also a perp dex with some interesting differences (synthetics, forex, etc. PS! They will have an airdrop soon, so I expect volume here going forward.
8.@PremiaFinance Premia allows you to trade call/put options for a variety of tokens. 4m TVL, 52m mcap. Haven’t had a wild price increase in 2023 yet.
7. @GMDprotocol GMDbis a platform built on top of @GMX_IO that brings "pseudo-delta-neutral strategies". Stake your USDC, ETH, or BTC to earn. TVL is up 35% in the last month
6. @GainsNetwork_io: A perp trading DEX with its flagship product gTrade. Been on Polygon for quite some time, but TVL has increased a lot after launching on Arbitrum
5. @dopex_io: A decentralized Options exchange. Dopex has several products, but the flagship product SSOV allows users to lock up tokens for a defined period of time and earn yield.
This is an essential DeFi primitive. Also bullish on $Y2K because they earn a lot in fees.
4. @y2kfinance Y2K is a DeFi project on Arbitrum providing users with derivative products based around the peg of 'stable' assets. Users can hedge, leverage, speculate & trade on the risk of a particular pegged asset that deviates from its fair implied market value.
@Treasure_DAO is in a very exciting place. It is very well positioned to become the decentralised Nintendo for web3. It could very well become the base layer that most web3 games build on.
2. @RDNTCapital Radiant is an omnichain money market that allows users to deposit & borrow major assets across multiple chains. Its TVL has exploded since the beginning of 2023 and so did the Market Cap of its main token $RDNT. I am up 52% on this one so far!
3. @Treasure_DAO ( $MAGIC) Essentially Treasure is a decentralized gaming platform that gives tools and frameworks for teams to launch their own web3 games. Since projects use $MAGIC, they leave the complexities of managing the economics to @Treasure_DAO.
It's been such a success that it also got deployed on @avalancheavax and it shares a stunning $540mln of TVL between both chains. GMX also generates $800k in revenue from fees making it one of the most profitable protocols in crypto.
1. @GMX_IO It has earned its spot as Arbitrum's absolute Real Yield King. GMX is a decentralized perpetual exchange that facilitates spot and perpetual trading with minimal fees and zero price impact.
Anyway though, here are the 9 tokens in my Arbitrum portfolio and why I am bullish on them! It’s worth mentioning that this portfolio is created with a bullish outlook for crypto, and it should outperform $BTC and $ETH in up-trending markets. app.nested.fi/portfolios/arb…
This will keep me accountable and force me to think through my investments even more purposefully, plus should be interesting for us to look back on as 2023 progresses to see how smooth-brained vs giga-brained I am 🙂
My Crypto Positions In 2023 - Arbitrum Edition CPI print today was neutral, but $BTC reacted bullishly with a pump- This means that altcoins will print too. Here are the main tokens I'm invested in on Arbitrum. Thread 🧵
To do it, I am using @NestedFi, a very cool decentralised portfolio management platform AND our ongoing sponsor for my newsletter The Black Swan: route2fi.substack.com
