DeFi: To lock or not to lock? 🔐 I would like to talk about DeFi and one popular thought: “Locking assets in DeFi is bad.” But is this really so? 💡 What DeFi opponents say: 1️⃣ In a bull market, assets are needed here and now. They must be liquid so that they can be sold at any time. 2️⃣ In a bear market, holding assets is also bad: the price falls and you cannot sell them to minimize losses. DeFi allows you to: 🔹 Gradually increase the amount of your asset. 🔹 Reduce the average purchase price by earning interest on invested coins. A simple example: you are locking Ethereum in the DeFi protocol. Even if the price of ETH falls, your staking brings you additional income. And when the market turns around, you will already have more coins that will rise in price. Bull Market and Profitability in DeFi 🌟 In a bull market, returns in DeFi rise along with asset prices. If recently, for example, Ethena gave 6-7% per annum on its stablecoin, now it is already 29% per annum. 🚀

Should we argue with the market or go with it? 🤔 Many people are convinced that following the crowd is a mistake. You need to look for what no one is doing, to be “against the system.” But let's figure it out: does it really work? 💡 If we take the stock market, then Apple, NVIDIA and other “mammoths” of the market show that even when it seems that “everyone has already bought them,” they continue to grow. Why? Because behind them is a strong product, investor confidence and constant demand. And the thought “the rocket won’t fly if you don’t disembark extra passengers” never occurs to anyone. This is such a strange thought that I am always amazed by it. Now let’s return to crypto and imagine the situation: you decided to “go against the crowd” and invest in dead coins or participate in little-known testnets. 🎯 Sometimes this can work and bring huge profitability, but most often the result is losses.

Should we wait for the second drops? 🔮 Lately, influencers have increasingly heard the idea that there is no point in working with new projects now, because there are almost no truly worthwhile projects. Well, perhaps some kind of Monad or Story Protocol, and even that is already in the final stage of its testnet. There is also Unichain, but you must admit that this is just another Layer 2 in a long series of similar ones. So it's tempting to say, "Why don't I wait for the second drop?" Second drop from L0, ZKSync, StarkNet, Aptos, SUI or even possibly Arbitrum. 🤔

The worst thing you can do in this cycle is try to squeeze every last dollar out of the market. No one can accurately determine the time of peak. So choose your levels now and stick to the plan when the time comes (the good news is, you should have set your goals a long time ago). Every cycle, people say they will exit the market as soon as they receive life-changing wealth. And every cycle, those same people get greedier and greedier... and end up giving more of their profits back to the market. The maximum that they have left are screenshots of how cool the portfolio looked on such and such a date in such and such a year. If you make life changing money, then use it to actually change your life. Buy a house. Make your dream come true. Buy an engagement ring. Send your parents into early retirement. Don't go round and round so you don't have to spend the next 4 years thinking about what and how it could have been. But also remember: never sell all your Bitcoins :)

A curious investor paradox. Its name is the “paradox of disposition.” Its essence is that the average investor is ready to hold a losing position for a long time and quickly throw away the first serious profit, losing a long-term more profitable position. All this has to do with emotional rather than rational perception. What is the recipe for the antidote? 1. Follow a pre-conceived plan 2. Take profits in small parts 3. Focus on the long-term goal 4. Keep a diary of emotions and analyze them over time in a calm state. That's what the market is doing now. We endured 2022, 2023 and almost all of 2024 in order to sell everything now?!

November 5th. Bitcoin and the US presidential election. It seems that this US election will not end with a clear victory for Trump, for which markets, including American stocks and Bitcoin, have been preparing over the past week. If Harris wins, markets will likely react with panic and move further down, continuing the current trend. However, over time, they realize that the coming huge amount of stimulus money will again pump up assets. Therefore, we should expect a lot of volatility in the short term, but keep in mind that the long-term growth potential is still there. Greater volatility will be caused not only by the election result, but also by the likely interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve this Thursday. → If Harris wins, a dump is possible, then consolidation and a pump. → If Trump wins, there will probably be a pump, and then an even bigger pump. Good luck everyone, and get ready for the upcoming DCA opportunities and an even more exciting future for Bitcoin!

🔝 Pyth moves Link Pyth Network has overtaken ( https://cointelegraph.com/news/oracle-providers-pyth-chainlink-volume-tvs-comparison ) Chainlink in terms of transaction volume over the past 30 days. ⚙️ This surge in transactions may be due to Pyth's pull data model, which only provides data upon request, instead of updating it regularly like Chainlink. This model is great for trading, and the new memcoin season that is currently underway has also helped Pyth become a leader. Hold a Pyth token? 👇

💡 Is DeFi difficult? Actually, not quite like that! 💡 Very often you can hear the claim that DeFi is complicated and tedious, that it is impossible to understand it. But let's look at this from a different angle. There are no objectively complex or simple things in the world - it all depends on how much you understand them. 😉 No one forces you to immediately dive into complex strategies or learn everything at the same time. Start small. Gradually, step by step, you will begin to understand the tools and mechanics, and what seemed complicated will become clear. Yes, you need to make an effort, but it’s easier to do nothing, right? 😄 But, as you know, life doesn’t work like that. Therefore, remember: difficult is just a stage on the path to understanding. Everyone who wants to achieve success sooner or later faces difficulties, and only through effort can they be overcome. DeFi is no exception, but with a little effort, this world will become much more understandable and profitable. 💸

Scroll - results Another, dare I say it, era has ended. It’s sad, of course, that it ended this way, but we have what we have. First, a little abstract about the distribution: 🟢Top 100 wallets took 30% of the allocation 🟢Top 1% of wallets took 62% of allocation 🟢The remaining 99% of users took 38% of the allocation One can debate for a long time about the absurdity of the criteria: - Why was there no upper limit? - Why don’t whales have locks? - Why is the base rate so low? - Why is the same amount allocated for drops as on Binance? - Why extra? Not everyone was given the criterion for ENS? I am sure that for a certain part of the audience this drop became the penultimate drop in the coffin. This one way or another means that the market will clear, because the already limited piece of the pie is not enough. Add to this the low rating of ALMOST ALL projects that are currently being released - it turns out to be an outright rect. The only question is when this market will change.

💡 How much can you really earn in DeFi now? 💡 After the spring growth of this year, which is already in the past, interest rates in DeFi have become much lower, but this does not mean that it is no longer possible to make money in DeFi. 👀 Let's look at the current realities. In the spring of this year, the profitability in some protocols reached 60-70% per annum on stablecoins. For example, staking stables through Ethena allowed you to earn such interest - it was a reliable option in a bullish or flat market. Of course, now there are no such rates, but the year is not over yet, and if we take the average return for the year, then 30-40% per annum on stablecoins is a very realistic figure. 💸 DeFi, combined with an understanding of market cycles, provides excellent opportunities for stable income. 30% in DeFi plus the income from choosing the right market phases is the real X on X that everyone is looking for in crypto. And believe me, they are here, not in risky futures. 🎯

💡Airdrops: pampering or life change?💡Let's figure it out. I have 10-20% of my capital in crypto in Airdrops, but the main part is DeFi and a little in altcoins, which I believe in. But here it is important: no futures, no leverage - only spot positions. 1) You follow trends. Airdrops are always associated with new projects that are just entering the market. This is a great opportunity to keep your finger on the pulse, understand which projects will cause hype, and where the market will move. 💹 2) You learn new mechanics. Airdrops allow you to see how new technologies work, how you can make something faster, better, stronger. This is always an interesting experience that helps improve your crypto skills. 🛠 3) It's a bit of a gambling addiction. And yes, I won’t hide it - this is also a way to half-assume. In crypto, we are all gamblers to some extent, it’s just that some people admit it and others don’t. 🎲

📈 US unemployment data Important data on unemployment in the US for September 2024 has been released. The actual increase in unemployment was 4.1% versus 4.2% for the previous period. 💡 Unemployment is the second indicator after inflation at the Fed. These two indicators are macro reasons for changes in the lending rate. Anything above 4% unemployment is a red flag for the economy and recession. Details and market impact: - The number of people employed in the non-agricultural sector increased by 254,000 jobs; - The number of jobs has increased and the unemployment rate has decreased; - This has reduced the need for the Fed to maintain significant interest rate cuts at its two remaining meetings this year; - The Fed is likely preparing to turn around an economy that has experienced its worst period of high inflation in a generation.

3 basic rules when choosing a token for investment! 1) Team. You need to check the team for its existence in principle, make sure of their professionalism, and ideally find other successful cases. Use Cryptorank ( https://cryptorank.io/ ) or LinkedIn ( https://www.linkedin.com/ ). 2) Investors. It is worth paying attention to the presence of Tier-1 funds in the project. We look at Cryptorank ( https://cryptorank.io/ ) or Crypto Fundraising ( https://crypto-fundraising.info/ ). 3) Tokenomics. Figure out how many tokens the community will get and under what conditions, as well as how much the team will keep for themselves under various pretexts (marketing, ecosystem, advisors, and others). Information is available on CoinGecko ( https://www.coingecko.com/ ), Cryptorank ( https://cryptorank.io/ ) and Token Unlocks ( https://token.unlocks.app/ ). Save it for yourself and tell a friend 🆗
