SEC POSTS CRYPTO WARNING 🚨 

Breaking: SEC issues new investor warning over crypto assets

bitcoin

The SEC has posted a warning emphasising the significant risks associated with investing in crypto.

The warning focuses on topics such as:

  • Legal compliance

  • Proof of reserves

  • Fraud and scams

Now why are we mentioning this?

Well ETF analyst, Eric Balchunas, pointed out that the SEC tweeted out a similar crypto warning before the Bitcoin futures ETFs launched

Is this another sign that the spot Bitcoin ETFs are imminent? 🤷‍♀️

Eric seems to think so…

TOGETHER WITH VENTURE SCOUT 🎯

Check out these returns from IPO to September 2021:

  • Google (Alphabet) 64.24x

  • Netflix 550.47x

  • Facebook 9.02x

Question: What do these companies all have in common?

Answer: They’re all software companies.

Software companies, in our opinion, offer the highest potential returns to investors. (outside the world of crypto 😉)

The problem?

Keeping up with software startups is f*cking difficult.

The SAAS world is practically impossible to keep up with.

That’s why we read Venture Scout.

6 TIPS FOR THE BULL MARKET 📈 

Anthony Sassano is a crypto expert & an OG of the space.

He has over a decades worth of experience in crypto & has made 10s of millions of dollars in the space.

Anthony Sassano

So he knows his stuff.

Yesterday, he broke down 6 pro tips for the crypto bull market.

Anthony Sassano tweet

Let’s dive in.

Pro Tip 1: 😤 

Don’t get upset because someone else had made more money than you from crypto.

We’re all running our own race.

Enjoy the ride & don’t ponder over things that have no relevance to your own life.

Pro Tip 2: 💵 

Outperforming USD is easy.

Outperforming Bitcoin & Ethereum is hard.

Always measure your returns against Bitcoin or Ethereum. Not USD.

If you aren’t outperforming Bitcoin & Ethereum - you’re taking on extra risk for no reward.

Pro Tip 3: 😬

Taking profits is key.

But it’s very likely that you won’t sell the top and prices will keep going up.

Never chase this. Once you take profits, stick with your decision. Chasing the pump only leads to giving back those profits.

Pro Tip 4: 🔮 

Every bull market, a few characters will become very visible on social media. They claim to have all the answers.

Nobody has all the answers. Nobody can tell the future.

Avoid these types of people.

Pro Tip 5: 💎 

Bull markets typically make you question your own long-held investment theses.

There’s always shiny new narratives being pushed as the ‘next big thing’.

Almost always, the shiny new thing will end up fading away and will end up 95% down from its all time high.

Your job is to not get caught holding the bag when the music of the bull market stops.

Pro Tip 6: 🐻 

In the heart of the bull market, it’ll be very tempting to fall into the ‘super cycle trap’.

You’ll begin to believe that there won’t be another bear market.

When you start to fall into this trap, it’s best to start taking profits.

There will always be another bear market in crypto. All markets are cyclical and will continue to be so as long as humans are involved.

Keep these 6 tips in mind & continue to check yourself.

It will ensure you make the most out of the bull market. 🐂 💫

CHECKING IN ON ETHEREUM 🤔

What a week it’s been for Ethereum.

It’s currently trading up 7.84% over the past seven days.

Today we’ll be breaking down some of Ethereum’s key on-chain metrics to see whats going on.

First things first, as on-chain activity picked up, Ethereum once again became deflationary.

Since the merge, the average deflation rate has been -0.206% per year. 📉

eth deflation

The amount of ETH available on exchanges continues to decline.

Currently it’s at a 5 year low of 14,207,426 ETH. 😱

That’s only 11.85% of the entire circulating supply…

So where is all this ETH going?

exchange balance

Similar to Bitcoin, we’ve also seen an increase in investors opting for self custody. The collapse of FTX was a HUGE wakeup call for everyone.

BUT the other reason is that more and more Ethereum investors are deciding to participate in staking.

The amount of Ethereum staked continues to break all-time highs and is currently at 34,288,190 ETH.

If you’re unsure what staking is checkout this short breakdown.

To us, this looks like an Ethereum supply shock is in the works.

Don’t forget we also have the upcoming spot Ethereum ETFs

Once the Bitcoin ETFs are approved all eyes will turn towards the 7 spot Ethereum ETF applications.

The final decision deadlines fall between late May 2024 and early August 2024.

Ethereum investors should be feelin’ pretty good right now… 🔒💫
