you cant really get rich from these high value coins....unless u ready to wait 2 to 5yrs... cos b4 the coin go fit do 100%......a low value coin like shib with 5 decimal points fit don do 500%
The market cap is also important. With a market cap of 13b, it takes alot to move shib.
IMO, the first goal in crypt0 is not to get rich but to protect capital... most people who scatter funds buying random low ticker coins usually loose significant capital

Hehe....Two scenarios....
Nuke or bounce from significant support.

If there'd be another leg up, then most coyns are close to significant support zones where they are likely to bounce. .. example.. Eith at 3k, luna at 100, Ada at 1usd, betece at 42k, etc at 40....
If these levels start getting lost, then it opens the doors to another drawdown until the next support....

Not too long ago, the US president signed an executive order mandating all agencies to work together towards providing a ckear framework on crypt0 that'd ensure advancement in the space.

The UK has taken theirs a step forward and are actively inviting crypt0 businesses, looking at tax incentives and the UK mint looking to issue a crypt0 based asset this year. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-sets-out-plan-to-make-uk-a-global-cryptoasset-technology-hub

China on the other hand took an agressive step to ban crypt0 and this was so they could aggressively push for the adoption of their e-cny.. So far, they've made good progress with that.

Our local regulations are neither here nor there. They have stopped the government from generating revenue thru the space, have also not been effective in stopping local crypt0 trade and the e-Naira so far has been a waste both in adoption and usecase

Stumbled upon this.... surprised it didn't make major headlines...

The UK is actively pushing towards friendly regulations. A NFT by the royal mint is as good a national endorsement as one can get

Crypt0 exchange Binaz among investors to bail out victims of $615 million heist

https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/crypto-exchange-binance-among-investors-bail-out-victims-615-mln-heist-2022-04-06/

Be careful with your crypt0 investments.
Like all investments, crypt0 comes with its risks. Being digital, it has added risks and benefits those getting in should be aware of. First is where whatever assets one owns are custodied. The second is what assets to own

Gracias.
Found anchor and aave quite intuitive for my luna and avax holdings...

Can borrow cheaply off my longer-term holds when the market is down and use it to sort out physical needs. And I can swap my base holdings to eith if need be.
Occasionally, I play quick moves in the market or gain more exposure to my base coyn when a rally ensues... The second comes with added risks, but I always keep it below 20% of my asset portfolio

I'm not a fan of knife catching.... usually prefer waiting for the daily close...
But some coyns are testing significant support... e g ETC at 40...

Got some bids laddered between 100 and 110 on luna.. looks like a macro retest which should be bought up quite aggressively except bitc0in nukes

What tested and trusted, interest yielding platform do you recommend?
I use a mix of centralised/decebtralised platforms.

Centralised exchanges like binaz and kraken offer good rates on some tokens

For centralised savings platform, nexo offers sensible rates with an inbuilt exchange. Also, the nexo token has held up well.
For decentralised savings, some are coin specific.. e g terra station for luna related activities...
Aave and Beefy for AVAX

Constant portfolio rebalancing is an often neglected concept if you desire a stellar PnL in this game. This is arguably, a narrative driven game and that narrative changes constantly. Consequently, the market will leave you behind if your view of the game is stagnant, same as your portfolio.

This concept, negates the idea of holding. Make no mistake, holding is one of the easiest route to hammer in crypto, but the idea of holding is worthless, 90% of the time, once the coin exceed a certain market cap. The exception is of you bought very early or you are playing for capital preservation.

If your motivation is constant 5x plays or more, then dex is your friend.

Rebalance
DEX
Makes sense... do most of mine by swapping between certain coyns... can be good when being done on an interest yielding platform

When I see CBN offering 7 to 8 percent on Savings bond, and 13 percent on FgN bonds, it seems funny.

Real time Inflation has hit 50 percent and they keep offering peanut interest rates, you're better off stocking bags of rice, beverages etc with that money than give it to the government at thesz terrible rates. Dollar is already N600 by year end na like N780, that will be total wipeout of anything denominated in Naira cash investment.
The CBN using the naira to chase the dollar would only compound the issue in the longterm if nothing is done in real terms to prop up the economy.
Also, the extra naira being used to prop up the interest rates would need to come from somewhere. If that extra naira is printed just for that purpose, then it may make things worse in the future.

The only ones who takes responsibility for all the mess are the words FGN and CBN, not the governor, not the finance minister. The words are just mere entities, when kasala bursts every investor will be on their own.
Finally, if it results in devaluation and more inflation, everyone will answer his name.
Regular Nigerians keeping savings in usd investments might do the nation more harm...but survival is a natural instinct. Those in power don't care

It seem to have good functionalities with low supply.
I remember it was making rave sometime early this year on this thread, I thought about it again just wondering if it would be a good buy
If you see alpha in it, then why not... but then, a coyn being popular or people mentioning it might not be a good reason to buy all by itself....
Personally, If I was to delve in, I'd like to know what functionality the coin provides. Also what sets it apart from the rest. What are its driving demand factors... also its inflation rate.....

In another news.... the latest eurobond offering was oversubscribed to the tune of 200% causing a rate reduction from 8.7 to 8.3. Of course the DMO will attribute this to 'invesor confidence' which is untrue. If the effective rate was much lower, I'd agree. The DMO needs to look into whoever is advising them on rates. A 0.5% rate drop would save the nation tens of millions in forex
I'm no economist but commonsense dictates that if I'm spending over 2/3rd of my income to pay old debts, any new debt I'm taking should be at the lowest rate possible.

Dig deeper, some businesses have been having earnings growth of over 20% annualized in the last 5 years.
I know a few who have but like I said they are few and far between or largely operate in an inefficient market.
My issue with devaluation is not about me personally as I've well insulated myself. It's about hapless Nigerians who are being impoverished by the day.

Over the last 3 years, the naira has consistently lost about 20% of its value per year

Jan 2020: 1$ = #360 | Dec 2020: 1$ = #460
Jan 2021: 1$ = #470 | Dec 2021: 1$ = #560
Jan 2022: 1$ = #560 | Dec 2022: 1$ = #?

Currently dollars sells between 580-590, by the end of the year it might sell for 660 if the pattern continues.
Investing in dollar dominated asset at 5% per annum will give 25% return annually when you factor in devaluation.

Any investment in naira that is not returning minimum of 20% per annum is not worth it because of the possibility of naira losing beyond 20% of its value in that period.


Better to convert your money to dollar and hide it under your pillow grin
2020 and 2021 weren't great for the naira but then, some years are better than others.
All said, the crux of the matter for our leaders should be strengthening the local economy. If everyone converts their naira to the dollar, we would not have a country to enjoy the returns. Eitherway, in Nigeria, you need to protect your head first.

Reason why the eurobond offering by the government will be a good one for local investors who can tap into it.

Any Investment that combine the effects of a return of equity of 10%, earning growth of 15% will do that
There are not many local investments which offer that in a reliable and safe manner. Moreso one that is liquid enough. All these being tenable over a good period of time.

Over the last 7yrs, the gdp of the nation has largely been stagnant. Although there have veen some bright sparks in some sectors

Assurance20:
I must confess the Team has been performing well, the last hype was due to the launch of Hermes protocol (Metis Solidly), especially when Andre left Fantom, they seized the opportunity & some funds from Fantom moved into Metis(Andromeda) which was even confirm on-chain, the TVL in Starstreams(STARS) went over $250m within 2days of launch, but high APRS of the pools in STARS vault/big emission of Hermes caused continuous price dip of Hermes from over $1.5 to less than $0.2, most users suffered big loss, because no reason to continue in the liquidity pool, most funds left the ecosystem from this... However, there is a major news of Chainlink integration coming within a month & possibly Aave V3( don't know why it's delayed cus the proposal was voted & passed) if it happens, then it will pump hard, another pumpamentals is Vitalik's mother associated with the Team
I don't know much about it.. but like you mentioned, emission is usually a big issue with L2. Another is low utility... reason why when I'm bullish on a L2, I also want to hold the L1 while I ride the hype on the L2

Metis is a good L2 coin, though it has been underperforming during this recent bull trend, the community are a bit angry/disappointed with the update on Jonah, CMO going to prison for domestic violence with his ex-wife, allegations that the main Team was aware yet they turned a blind eye to the issue & still employed him & made him a active Team member...
Ok... but aside that... any other reason why its underperformed? I.e inflation, utility, network growth..
As an L2, what sets is apart from others?
I'm usually not keen on L2s except few which offer a significant value proposition..... i.e are really doing something different

What makes you say so boss?
It's struggled to get above its weekly support. Eventhough its a meme coyn and could shoot out anytime, at a mcap of over 15b, it should respect some structure....

Its monthly doesn't look great either.....
Personally, I'd want to focus on early runners with an established trend

All said,, it looks to be making a second rounded bottom which should be a good risk-reward but the trend isn't established yet

By now people should know holding USD is an investment. If you can put the USD into secured investment that brings returns, it is even better.
Nigeria is struggling to get Forex. Tony Elumelu recent post on Twitter shows that intense bunkering makes it impossible for Nigeria to profit from the current price of crude because lots of the crude produced is stolen.
The high price of crude also mean more subsidy needs to be paid. That's what has driven the cost of diesel and petrol up.
If the cost of crude remains above $100 throughout the year, by the end of the year, dollar could easily exchange 650

People should be holding at least 50% USD and 50% naira now
Stumbled upon this...

The dollar is also a moving target. If the current usd inflation rate of 7.5% continues, 100 usd today would be worth 50usd in 10 years. (rule of 70)

Sad enough, same dollar is still gaining 10% over the naira every year. i.e, it takes 7 years for the naira to lose 50% of its value against the dollar.

If you combine both, you see how much value the naira is sadly loosing in real terms.

Like you said, the real alpha for a Nigerian comes with investing to beat the inflation rate of the dollar. That way, one will be looking at at least 18% appreciation per annum in naira value of investments.
