# The Start of Something FUN By [The Pied Crow](https://paragraph.com/@the-pied-crow) · 2022-11-06 --- CaCAW! ------ Like the title says, this is going to be the start of something fun. If you read my first post… I gave a little background of myself and my interests. That will most likely be the last time I talk about myself. From here on out I am a Crow. Why a crow? Is it because I wish to be a member of the Night’s Watch and kill white walkers with a sword? Is it because I’m an obnoxious territorial bird who watches from above? Not exactly. I am a Pied Crow, which according to google, are _“Extremely intelligent and opportunistic \[birds\], that share the jackdaw's love of shiny things.”_ ![A Jackdaw](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/9b932f8e32dba8110a77cece9027d95f763c40f55038eb42b932f97cb58d2491.jpg) A Jackdaw So the simple reference of why I am blogging as a Pied crow is because I am a college educated person who attempts to be opportunistic in financial markets and hand in hand loves money. That’s not exactly it either… It all started from a photo I captured of this bird in South Africa, turned it into an NFT that you see as my profile photo and now I have decided to create a persona and share what’s on my mind. You could see and purchase one of my brilliant birdhouse NFTs here.

Today is Saturday November 5th, 2022 ------------------------------------ Trending topics of the day include [Aaron Carter passed away](https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/05/entertainment/aaron-carter-obit/index.html), the [Powerball](https://www.calottery.com/draw-games/powerball) Lottery is up to 1.6 Billion and of course Mr. Elon Musk has upset the media again with mass layoffs at his newly acquired company, Twitter. It is unfortunate for the employees but since the company is losing over $4 million a day it seems justifiable. Ever since Elon took over Twitter, Dogecoin has been trending and has made a 100% move. Not only that but Polygon(MATIC) and Aave(AAVE) have been [adopted by JPMorgan](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/997288/jpmorgan-chase-co-executes-first-defi-trade-using-polygon-and-aave-997288.html). It is still early for many cryptocurrencies and only time will tell which ones will survive. Bitcoin, the leader of the pack, has been trading sideways since the end of June and has made its way back over $21,000.00 Ethereum is hovering around $1620.00. If you have any money to put to work I believe this presents a very great opportunity. **But first _DISCLAIMER_\*. I am not a financial advisor and everything you read here is for entertainment purposes only.** I am not responsible for any decisions you make after you read my post! With that being said, more and more companies and banks are adopting cryptocurrency during the current bear market. There is a lot of institutional money that has yet to enter the space and I believe over the next year some alt-coins will make some very profitable moves. From now till the end of the year I suggest dollar cost averaging into projects that stand in the top 30 market cap. I like using this site to follow alt-coins. [https://www.livecoinwatch.com/](https://www.livecoinwatch.com/) This includes coins such as: * DOGE * ADA * SOL * MATIC * DOT * SHIB * AVAX * LINK * ATOM * ALGO * NEAR I believe these projects have promise and only wish I personally had more money to invest in them. ### CACAW!
