I want to experiment with sharing general think pieces and investing insights in here. If you guys like them please let me know, if not I'll try to stick to analysis / calls and opportunities only.
A lot of us are probably too jaded from gripto influencers / pnl larps with brain damage to really take anyone seriously when they claim to be sharing genuine advice or insight but I'd like to help those of you that want to actually improve their performance. I'll start with this.
One piece of advice that I've noticed that 99% of you need after spending the past couple of days in the t.me/thectrlroom group chat is this. Do not take every profitable trade.
It seems like a no-brainer that you should be taking every profitable opportunity that presents itself, but this is one of the most common mistakes I see amongst traders and it has severe consequences. It feels more prevalent now than ever this cycle, so I think you could all use this reminder.
You are not a fucking index fund. If you have conviction in two potential trades, and you are certain that trade A will yield 300%+ returns and trade B will yield 200%+ returns, you do not go 50/50. You do not throw 90% into the former and 10% in the latter to have some exposure. You shove the stack into trade A and forget about trade B.
Too many of you fail to understand this and end up chasing every little thing that has a good thing going for it because you don't want anyone to make a dollar without you. And then you end up with 20 tokens in your portfolio at once, across multiple wallets, and it's so overwhelming and difficult to focus on your trading that you can't even keep up with all of them and you just end up sticking to the 3 you care the most about and letting the rest sit, never touching the ones that go down because maybe they'll go up eventually. And then you become a bagholder.
Sound familiar?
You need to not do that if you want to make it this cycle. You will see people win big on chains you've never used, altcoins you've never heard of, airdrops you don't qualify for, and technology you don't even understand. It does not fucking matter. Do not open 1000 tabs and fry your brain trying to understand hyperliquid quantum omnistaking while researching phygital mongolian NFTs and rehypothecated RWAs.
Your goal is not to hit 100% of the opportunities of this cycle. Your goal is to miss 90% of the opportunities because you were busy making sure that 10% of the bets that you took were right. You will make money if you are correct. Not if you are diversified.
The trading principle of risk-return tradeoff applies to even shitcoins just as much as it does to equities. All you should care about when comparing your adjacent options is risk-return ratio. Find opportunities with good R/R. Study them carefully and find the edge that improves your R/R. Take those bets.
If I find something that I believe has a risk-return ratio of 1:10 and you tell me that I should really get in $BONK because it's going to 2x I'm going to tell you to fuck off. Why the fuck would I put a single dollar into bonk that I could put into my winner.
Diversification is for people that are confused. The less confused you are, the less you'll hold at any given moment. Don't be diversified. Just be right and accept that if you're wrong you'll eat shit and try to improve your judgement before the next winner comes around.

Alright now that I'm back home let's talk a little bit more about Vector / $VEC $VEC Analysis As I said earlier, Vector is a project I've been researching and watching carefully since early in their LBP. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to give you guys…
If you bought $VEC when I posted this, you're welcome.
I'm buying more. The deeper I dig into the project's documentation and mechanics as well as the plethora of interesting on-chain activity involving wallets that were involved in the LBP or buying a lot of this token, the more underexposed I feel.
Judging by the timeline as well as the Vector Telegram people are clearly too distracted with the $VEC price to actually take the time to figure out how the fuck it works. A lot of people are holding off on buying or staking because they're asking the same 10 questions that are already answered clearly in documentation / with 5 minutes of research and a lot of people haven't even heard of this. I think we're actually a lot earlier than I thought we were initially.
It's at $30 now. My advice would be the following.
If you don't want it, don't buy it.
If you want it, but you feel bad about buying it at $30 because you faded the LBP or faded a lower entry, buy it. Looking at how high a chart has gone without you is a dangerous way to gauge the R/R on a trade. Everything about the project aside from the price makes me feel like it's early, and if I made the classic mistake of fading because I didn't buy all the tokens I wanted at $12 in the LBP I wouldn't have bought a ton at $17 that have now nearly 2xed. I'm really liking this trade.

How many ERC20 tokens can you think of that don't subscribe to the standard 18 decimal configuration?
I can't find a single ERC20 token in my wallet aside from $VEC that isn't an 18 decimal token. The only exception I've found is $VEC which only has 9 decimals.
Actually, I can barely even remember ever seeing an ERC token that wasn't an 18 decimal token. The only token that comes to mind is $OHM which only had 9 decimals.
I just added to my position.

New IQ test just dropped
Pick the option that you feel most aligned with in response to the following statement:
"At Ohm's ATH one $VEC would be $6935"
A. Noooooo $VEC would never reach $OHM's market cap it's so over this is the top there will never be another Ohm
B. If the Vector ponzi manages to pull off even 14% of the numbers that the Olympus ponzi did this token would go to $1000
If you chose A you need to sell everything and hit the oil rig.

The amount of fake websites and accounts for $WEN are absurd right now and I know FOMO is at it's highest so:
If you want to claim your airdrop, please make sure you use https://lfg.jup.ag/wen
Just claimed and confirmed 10 times that this is the official place to do so.

Not gonna be active on Telegram tonight. I'm meeting a girl (a real one) in half an hour (wouldn't expect a lot of you to understand anyway) so please don't DM me asking me where I am (im with the girl, ok) you'll most likely get aired because ill be with the girl (again I don't expect you to understand) shes actually really interested in me and its not a situation i can pass up for some meaningless crypto degenerates (because ill be meeting a girl, not that you really are going to understand) this is my life now. Meeting women and not wasting my precious time online, I have to move on from such simple things and branch out (you wouldnt understand).

Update on $VEC with some FAQ for those of you that have been asking. You can also feel free to reach out in the gc or to me directly since I know this stuff is confusing and a lot is still unclear.
On a side note, I spoke at length with the team today and brought them some proposals for UX/UI improvements and they were very receptive and keen to improve UX! I'm very bullish on this, especially considering how much capital seems to be sidelined and confused because it's still too early for there to be an abundance of accessible information on how this stuff works. It's not that complicated if you're willing to put in the research, but it's crypto so most people aren't. Team seems very intelligent.
Let's start with FAQ
Is there an unstaking period if I stake?
No. Staked VEC can be unstaked at any time for VEC, and svETH can be unstaked for vETH as well. If you hold either I don't see any downside to staking.
How do svETH rewards work?
Ok so this one is interesting. A lot of people were confused and think that svETH is not actively yielding rewards, but it is. You do not receive additional svETH. The value of svETH is raised after every epoch, meaning that the conversion from svETH to vETH is no longer 1:1. Depending on the conversion rate when you unstake, you receive more vETH than the svETH you're unstaking. currently the value of svETH is 1.002 vETH
What are bonds?
Today, Vector released bonds. This actually seems to solve some of the challenges that Ohm / Olympus faced, and allow you to purchase bonds to aid the protocol in bolstering liquidity & collateralization and get rewarded with discounted $VEC. Bonds are issued on a 7 day vesting term and have varying 7 day ROIs depending on the underlying asset pair.
Can I exchange vETH back to ETH?
Contrary to popular belief, yes. You can swap your vETH using Curve Finance. Curve also has pretty good APY right low for providers.
Is Vector audited?
Yes. I've confirmed that the protocol has been audited by an independent auditor, with another independent audit as well as a full scale audit with a trusted firm on the way. These things take time, especially when done with firms, but I'm quite confident in the platform and have 10 vETH staked as well as 3000 VEC.
Where should I be focusing my capital to profit the most from this?
Currently I recommend keeping it simple and waiting for things to continue to play out. Buy $VEC and stake it. I have some vETH staked, but I'm personally not touching bonds for the time being and recommend that you stick to $VEC unless you understand DeFi and have more capital to allocate. I think that holding spot $VEC and earning yield with it is still very lucrative for the time being, but in the future you may want to explore other facets of the protocol as well to maximize your returns.
Currently still holding $VEC and accumulating slowly on dips. Staking 10 vETH. Not farming Curve pool or bonds but I'll update if that changes.

I swore to never threadooor again but 80% of current market participants have a learning disability so a @vectorreserve FAQ is much needed.

I'd recommend that you all join https://news.1rj.ru/str/smolinsanity as well. One of the few other groups I keep up with. Smol is based and has blessed me with many good cooks that I'd have missed entirely.

Good weekend frens.
If anyone wants to learn more about $vec I'd encourage to head down to my good fren's channel to hear what he has to say.
The guy is really big brained. He has an awesome post about VEC detailing out his strategy and thoughts.

Volume was low and chart was pretty flat.
I push one thread and FAQ and VEC is now pumping again.
I'm not even a big account or "influencer". I'm not taking credit for the whole move, but I genuinely believe a lot of that is sidelined capital coming in now that they have clarity on mechanics.
Once Vector improves UI for clarity and more people pick up on this and spread information to make it more accessible I'm convinced we can rip much higher.
$100.

Quick call bc it seems early but I just aped this. Very high risk but found the website and it's solid / high effort so if you're itching for a gamble here it is.

I’m assuming that now that Zeus has literally confirmed the connection between Ohm core contributors and vector / $VEC himself I can stop posting breadcrumb trails now. It’s official.
So we know for a fact that the developers have both the pedigree and the network, + tailrisks related to protocol security just became negligible

Another altcoin play that I'm in and sitting comfy on Category: Altcoins / holds $RSC Analysis Honestly this one is such a no brainer to me that nobody else is pricing in so I'm either very early or very wrong. What if the founder and CEO of Coinbase…
I'd like to bump this considering the group has nearly tripled in size since this was posted and it remains a very compelling thesis imo.
The reason I'm posting this now is because a 7 figure wallet just randomly dumped 20 ETH into it in one clip. This isn't particularly insightful but interesting enough to mention. If you haven't checked this post out, check it out. Noticing some accumulation happening recently and don't want people to forget about this one because I think it'll be a hit eventually.
