Today’s Inspiration
“The secret to wealth is simple: Find a way to do more for others than anyone else does. Become more valuable. Do more. Give more. Be more. Serve more.” ― Tony Robbins
Approved Alpha
I’ll start this one off by saying it feels like we are at the bottom and accumulating in the most boring range possible waiting for a big move soon. The good news?
So much is happening onchain. When I say so much, I mean “free money” if you can put in some work.
For example, Overtime Markets new EPL, NFL, NBA season rewards, or the new Raft $sDAI/$R yield pool (wen airdrop? 👀), or how about Taiko’s pre-TGE rewards program that is happening with their testnet, or a potential StarkNet airdrop coming?
I’ve spoken to so many teams in the last 60 days who are planning to launch a token before the end of the year.
Its interesting because this time around, its mostly labor that is being rewarded. Not necessarily capital. Yet. Bull market will certainly reward those who take big bets.
Right now, it’s about setting them up. From a pure technical lens, an Ethereum target of $15k in the next cycle is entirely reasonable, but it will take some time to get there. In the meantime, its best to stack your positions now and begin pushing forward with earning onchain so you can compound it in the better times.
Before We Get To Approved Alpha, How About Some veMAV Wars Alpha?
SpiralDAO has launched their locker for $veMAV tokens with some very very good yields. They are dominating the space. They have well over 20% of all $veMAV. I’m very bullish on Maverick Protocol and I think the MAV wars will be one of the most important bribing/locking/governance protocol wars we’ve seen yet 👀 You can find more info on SpiralDAOs locker here.
Ok, lets go!
