Your Alpha curated to save you time
GM frens.
Today is a biiiig down-day for Alts. The biggest of 2023 so far. We’ll have some thoughts on that.
Apart from that we’ll focus on LSDfi Narrative.
I’m exclusively buying LSDfi Projects and Arbitrum projects on this dip.
Anyway, let’s get straight to the alpha! 👇
Thank you for the 40k followers!
And soon 5k Subscribers to this Newsletter.
I asked you a few questions via polls, to learn more about your background (mostly Crypto). You can still answer the polls.
Mainly satisfying my curiosity here, but that also gives some interesting information to the level of commitment to Crypto from the people that are still here.
Today you will find Alpha on:
Narrative Hunting
LSD & LSDfi
Robinhood Situation
SEC Situation
DeFi Updates
Catalysts
New Projects
VC Investments
And much more!
