Information in the crypto space is largely fragmented. There is no single place where you can learn about every DeFi app, blockchain, and career paths.
I wanted to condense my favorite resources about DeFi, NFTs, VC, and crypto more broadly into one place:

Capital is abundant right now.
Everyone has money and they want to deploy it. Funds spin up every other week to satisfy that desire.
But what makes a good fund?
How should crypto founders choose from an ever-growing list of funds and angels?

At current prices, $SLP farming is even more lucrative than fresh grads salaries in Malaysia
200 SLP @ 0.2 = $40 a day
(Takes 2 - 8 hours)
$40 * 5 * 4 = $800 a month = RM3,200
Play to earn is disrupting GLOBAL economies and it's still pretty early h/t

-> Guilty of just scalping single digit % moves on leverage when I could have just spot longed for multiples and without that much stress
One strategy that I should have done more of was taking my profits from leverage and adding on to my core spot positions and holding that

-> Greatly underestimating illiquidity and volume. The thing with most shitcoins is that once no one talks about it on CT, volume and liquidity will die off.
Being a paper millionaire doesn’t mean anything if you will cause 50% slippage if you exit a position 💀

1/ The only reason to join a fund over going angel when you have capital is to build a network. And eventually, you'll be able to spin off on your own.

-> Being too concentrated in one sector.
DeFi has massively underperformed in 2021 especially if you compare it to L1s or NFTs.
Could have timed rotations better / changed my bias on DeFi after seeing how much normies loved NFTs instead but held my defi bags instead 😢

-> Got rekt by the bear market in 2018-2020, watching plenty of other L1s nuke massively and become extremely cheap (like FTM and MATIC)
So I faded these when they started mooning even though market now is way different than back then and I eventually bought them much higher💀

VS
- Networth go to 0
