Meme Coins: A Bullish Dip into the Crypto Ecosystem Today, I ventured deeper into the vibrant crypto ecosystem by exploring a website promoting meme coins in a secure environment. This platform boasts a unique formula that supposedly guarantees the price of deployed meme coins won't fall below their presale price. While the complex equation is beyond my current technical expertise, a small investment of 0.001 ETH (approximately $3 USD) felt like a worthwhile gamble (bold statement, I kno...

Hey what's up everyone, this is another journal entry into my crypto and overall online-related activity. I started the day by watching the entirety of the Musk, Peterson interview and left thinking very positively for humanity. Their conversation was dense so I had to stop the video to reflect on some of their topics which included, consciousness, motivation, and intrigue. I did this with another screen of the ETH chart as I went long today hoping to sell the news. The lesson I learned ...

I had dinner with friends last night and opened the Pandora box to the question what is cryptocurrency? I started by pointing out the Bitcoins UTXO model compared to the Ethereum account-based model. I used the classic analogy of cash and bank accounts. That the receiving address for Bitcoin has access to a list of unspent transaction outputs and that there are 21 million in total on the Bitcoin blockchain. (Personal note I try to spread my addresses out ie not use the same address twice whic...

Been diving into the exciting world of Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2) solutions, and I'm pumped about the advancements! Already got a position in BOB, their BitVM2 research looks promising, especially with the ZK-proof integration potential. Their roadmap mentions that if OP_CAT gets activated, it opens the door to ZK-proofs for signatures. This is a game-changer for scalability and transaction efficiency. But here's the twist: even if OP_CAT doesn't happen, BOB's got a plan B. They...

Today's market delivered another bullish surge, and it's been a valuable learning experience for me. I realized I may be overreacting to short-term price fluctuations. On a positive note, my leveraged long position remains healthy. Let's break it down: the current APR for borrowing Stablecoin sits at a low 2.61%, while my DeBank leverage health indicator shows a comfortable 2.47. Even with Bitcoin hovering around $67,000, I can comfortably hold this position for a year, coverin...

I wound down my short position on the lending/borrowing dApp after I realized I didn’t have the stomach to trade shorts, yet. It is nice to know this technique for shorting onchain is a thing though. But this on-chain strategy got me thinking and I researched other defi strategies. Today I learned of one called Borrow to Lend or B2L. The process is simple; lend an asset then borrow that same asset. The reason why one would want to do this is the interesting part. Since the lending borrow of t...

Day two in the trading world, and a wealth of reflections flood my mind!

I did it again. I went into the trenches with big wishes and came out hardened, cynical, and learned. I came back home from a night out with friends and so I was a bit drunk and high. I boot up my computer and I found myself on the Ape Store on the BASE chain. It's identical to Pump.fun except that it's on another chain. I browse through several tokens. In one episode in particular; I entered the TG voice chat for a coin called TRUMP. I expected that any Trump-related one would gain...
