Bloomberg conducted a poll on how you would save your money if a US default became a reality. Most standardly chose gold, but 2nd and 3rd place showed an interesting result💰
➡️ Buying bonds of a country in default is extremely risky, but there is confidence that the default will be short-lived and purely technical. That's why many decided to buy Treasury securities at a discount📊
➡️ Bitcoin came in third place, overtaking the dollar due to the interest of retail investors. The first cryptocurrency showed its protective properties during the collapse of banks, and the default is of a similar nature

Taking out $$$ bags on airdrops ✅
⠀
To get the drop, each project makes its own criteria by which the drop purses will be selected.
🔰 Keep a checklist of the most frequent multipliers, collecting which can get you a lot of cash.
😀 Transaction count
By this you are showing your activity and involvement in the project. If you retrograde a new blockchain, you can see the number of transactions in the blockchain scan.
😀 Transaction count
The minimum Arbitrum threshold for this multiplier was $10,000. The number is quite realistic. 20 transactions at $500 or 100 at $100 can everyone.
😀 Various services
We use every possible platform for transactions. Do not get hung up on 1 or 2 bridges. We trade, swap, bridge - maximum activity.
😀 Domain names and NFT
It's hard to say 100% where this will boost, but it's not a penny to spend.
😀 Voting
Projects love it when you don't just take advantage of their benefits, but take part in the future fate of the project. Voting takes place on Snapshot.
😀 Persistence
Do this exercise 2 times a week - the deposit will not hurt. It's important for the project to involve the user in its development.
🏆 Take the "the more the better" rule. Every multiplier is a fat plus in your retrodrop's piggy bank.
❔ Checking our subscribers: have you ever received a retrodrop?

The perfect strategy for how to "shave a hamster" 🐹
⠀
We all know that big players in the market (whales) like to conduct certain operations to make money while trapping ordinary users (hamsters). So how does this happen?
Here's an example on meme-coin Pepe:
1️⃣ Pepe is listed on Binance while the token is at its highest values. For what purpose?
2️⃣ Need the volumes so the big guys can unload their bags (sell the Pepe tokens they have). On other exchanges they simply would not have enough liquidity to sell. And listing on Binance immediately generates a lot of noise, thus attracting a large amount of liquidity.
3️⃣ At the same time futures are launched.
A futures is a contract in which the seller undertakes to deliver the underlying asset to the buyer at an agreed price and at a specified time in the future and the buyer is obliged to buy back the subject of the transaction.
Now turn on the visualization and your imagination. And also imagine this profit from the following actions:
4️⃣ Whales go into futures and get into shorts with leverage.
5️⃣ Go into Binance and sell their Pepe bags on the spot.
What we gain?
Simultaneously open shorts and simultaneously dumping their huge bags. It's scary to imagine what the profits could be.
✅ dump their bags;
✅ made a profit on the short.
So you understand, right? A man simultaneously dumping his spot and simultaneously pushing his price into a profit on the short.
How genius! That's it.
Put 🔥 if you want to make such schemes, too.

What is the BRC-20 token standard in the Bitcoin network?
✅The BRC-20 "Bitcoin Request for Comment" standard was developed by an analyst under the pseudonym "Domo" in March of this year. The purpose of the new standard is to facilitate the issuance and transfer of interchangeable tokens in the Bitcoin network.
➡️ However, the pioneer was the Ordinals protocol, which gave the world the ability to coin NFTs on Bitcoin in late 2022. It is important to understand that the BRC-20 standard lacks the ability to interact with smart contracts, unlike ERC-20 on Ether.
↪️ The leaders of the BRC-20 standard were the memcoins PEPE and MEME, as well as the new ORDI coin (from Ordinals)😴
➡️ The memcoin frenzy led to an overload of the Bitcoin network. For example, #1 exchange Binance stopped withdrawals twice and now intends to integrate "Lightning Network" L2 solution for BTC.
❔ Do you think the next HYPE might be related to projects that provide L2 solutions such as RIF?

Meme tokens, what to do with them? 😏
⠀
There's a frenzy going on in the market right now. Meme tokens are created in huge numbers. It is clear that it shoots 1 out of 50 (statistics are inaccurate). These projects have no use for web3, unless they attract the attention of new people to the market.
➡️ In general, we believe that everything where there are "hamsters" and crowds is a plus for the crypto market in the long run. Yes, many will come and lose money, after which they will be afraid to even buy bitcoin. But some of the people will remain in the market and will continue to work, adding liquidity to the market.
➡️ What advice can he give you?
Buying meme tokens from the market is equivalent to playing roulette. You either earn a lot, or you lose everything. Therefore, for the future, the advice is that it is worth spreading the working volume into different projects as much as possible, because it is always very difficult to guess what will really show a strong increase in price. Then there will be a better chance to hit the target.
❗️And of course, the most important advice. If you see loud news, listings on the tir-1 exchange, entering the project of big names — get out of positions (sell). Very large infopods are a reason to go out and in no case should you buy.
We sell on big news! Look at PEPE after listing on the binance.
❔ Have you already bought meme tokens, amid the hype around PEPE?

The main kinds of cryptocurrencies
Depending on how you look at it, cryptocurrencies can be divided into two to 10 categories.
Today, we’ll go over the three most common cryptocurrency categories:
1. Bitcoin 💰
The world’s first-ever cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC) was created by the pseudonymous entity Satoshi Nakamoto. It’s the most popular crypto in the world and has already become a household name. Its market capitalization is higher than its next closest competitor, Ether (ETH), by 2.5 times.
2. Altcoins 💰💰💰💰💰
Traditionally, all cryptocurrencies that were created after Bitcoin are called altcoins. Examples of altcoins include Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), BNB (BNB), and Cardano (ADA). Developers and teams create altcoins to explore their endless possibilities and functions unavailable on the Bitcoin network.
It’s worth noting that Bitcoin’s market capitalization is equal to all other altcoins in the top 20 combined—another aspect showing Bitcoin’s dominance in the crypto market.
3. Stablecoins 💰💰💰💰💰
These are altcoins created to hold a stable value. Stablecoins are usually backed by a fiat currency (or other cryptocurrencies sometimes) to keep their price at $1. Some of the most popular stablecoins are Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and Dai (DAI), whose value is always equal to 1 United States dollar.
Stablecoins have become a convenient option for international money transfers, money settlements, and locking in profits among investors and traders.
However, please note that no stablecoin is guaranteed to keep its peg to the U.S. dollar; stablecoins can also crash and lose their value (case in point: TerraUSD). Therefore, stablecoins also carry their own set of risks.
💭Of course, there are many more cryptocurrency categories — e.g., utility tokens, privacy coins, and governance tokens, to name a few. We’ll discuss these in a future post.

Are there really anonymous cryptocurrencies?
In a previous post, we told you that most blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are “pseudonymous.”
However, there are also completely private projects that have made it impossible to track transfers.
Let’s take the example of the Zcash cryptocurrency, which has advanced cryptography and the highest level of confidentiality.
Zcash uses a cryptographic protocol called zk-SNARKs. With the help of this technology, users can make completely private transactions when the sender, recipient, and cost of transactions can be hidden on the blockchain.
At the same time, privacy on Zcash is optional; users can choose between “transparent” transactions (like Bitcoin) and “hidden” transactions, providing a balance between transparency and privacy.
The world of blockchains is diverse. Research shows that most users do not strive for 100% anonymity; however, the industry does offer solutions for true cypherpunks as well.😎

Blockchain games based on the Play to Earn model are gaining momentum again 🚀
⠀
Everyone understands that big investors and whales are not going to invest in all sorts of crap. Now their attention is focused on innovative projects related to blockchain games that will be integrated into Web3 and Artificial Intelligence. They believe that games based on the Play to Earn model can become a new virtual economy that will make huge bucks for both their creators and players.
➡️ According to many industry insiders, the gaming models of yesteryear have not generated much revenue for companies, but they have sparked a lot of interest in blockchain-based games. It sounds like a very tempting prospect where you can not only play, but also make money from it. So the coolest developers are already working on expanding the Web3 gaming space.
🔤 According to a study by the Blockchain Gaming Alliance (BGA), the blockchain gaming segment has performed well in previous years, despite a bear market. And this year, the industry is focusing on gameplay quality, realism, monetization and improved user experience.
It is quite possible that in 5-10 years for many people the state of the virtual economy in the games they play will matter more than the economy of the country they live in😃
↪️ As of today, the Fusionist project can be considered a leader. His concept is more likely to change the industry with gameplay, realism and thoughtfulness of all the details.
❔ Have you ever participated in Play to Earn games? If so, have you made any money?
👍 - Yes

Airdrops: a beginner's guide 🎁
⠀
Decided to write a brief introduction to the direction for newcomers, maybe it will also be useful for "olds".
Here we go:
➡️ Airdrops - giving away project tokens to your users for certain actions/support in the past - swaps, adding liquidity, using the protocol, participating in the project's social networks.
➡️ How to earn on it?
Unfortunately, or fortunately, there is no right answer, because only the project decides. The criteria for the drop is unknown in advance. The main airdrop was obtained for active use of protocols - swaps (uniswap), the use of the bridge (Biconomy), DYDX (volumes on the futures), ie, depended on the specifics of the project. Sometimes it is enough to join the project discord and write a GM or join a telegram group.
It would seem that we found a win-win strategy - use the protocol and get free tokens, and so on in a circle. But it's not that simple:
1⃣ Firstly , the biggest project drops have occurred on the Ethereum network, where commissions for swaps or liquidity additions can reach several hundred per transaction.
2⃣ Secondly, not all projects go through the airdrop token distribution model.
3⃣ Thirdly, we can not guess the actions for which the drop will be put, or we made them untimely (after snapshot, i.e. snapshot of blockchain (wallets) state).
‼️ Airdrop (retrodrop) is not exactly free money, by putting our funds into new protocols, which often have not yet had time to audit, we risk losing them due to smartcontract hacks or coders mistakes, and depriving ourselves of profits from other sources (trading, NFT, staking).
Despite the above factors, drophunting is one of the most attractive areas in terms of risk-reward ratio.
After looking at past major drophunters, there are several criteria for rewarding projects in the future:
➡️ One of the best ways to get a drop is to use interesting solutions without the goal of getting a drop (as strange as it may sound). For example, you can build your crypto routine through applications that don't have tokens. For example, use bridges (Orbiter, Bungee, Stargate) instead of CEX to send tokens to another network.
➡️ Attribution early in project development - this could include participation in project social networks (Discord, Twitter), participation in limited protocol launches (by WL), completing feedback forms
↪️ Use of ecosystem products - this is a particularly important point for getting retrodrops from blockchains (Optimism, Arbitrum, ZkSync, Scroll). By interacting with various applications, we show that we are real active users of the network.

A few words on crypto arbitrage🫥
You may have already heard the term “arbitrage,” but it’s common among traders. Let’s see what the fuss is all about
⚙️Crypto arbitrage is comparing the prices of an asset on multiple exchanges and taking advantage of these differences to make a profit
➡️Arbitrage traders buy a cryptocurrency at a low price on one exchange and sell it at a higher price on another.
However, exchange fees and liquidity can create roadblocks that are difficult to maneuver
➡️There’s also offline arbitrage, which is a price difference in an asset in different countries. You can buy an asset in one country and liquidate it at a higher price in another
➡️Still, online arbitrage trading is a risky endeavor because it requires acumen and quick reflexes, while offline arbitrage is a challenge due to local taxes
🏆Arbitrage is certainly an activity meant for more advanced traders, so we don’t recommend beginners engage in this if they don’t know the basic principles of crypto finances

Crypto speak: Shitcoin.
Not all cryptocurrencies are created equal. Some are built to stand the test of time, while others have no business existing: The latter are called “shitcoins.”
Unless you enjoy losing money, investing in shitcoins is a bad idea.
Often, these kinds of coins have poor technical fundamentals, and their teams come off as ostensible scammers. These coins have one goal: to scam users for their money.
Before investing in any project, remember to do your own homework and scrutinize every detail.
The top three shitcoin red flags:
▪️ A weak team. Every crypto project has devoted and experienced developers composing its core team. If team members are unknown and appear out of nowhere, you’re likely dealing with a shitcoin.
▪️ Zero use cases. Strong crypto projects have ambitious goals, innovate, and genuinely strive to improve the world and the crypto industry. You can’t make the world a better place if your coin does absolutely nothing. If it’s useless, it’s a shitcoin.
▪️ Aggressive marketing. Shitcoin creators have zero intentions of investing time or money into expanding their projects. Instead, they concentrate their energy on marketing their product, making claims of huge returns that are too good to be true. If a project just wants attention, it’s a shitcoin.
Shitcoins, unfortunately, are everywhere, so stay alert to avoid them!
