Hey Nerds: Blockchain

Crypto.com is and has been going all out with their marketing. This is my platform of choice, so I am a little biased (and own a bag of CRO), but their new ad with Matt Damon is pretty neat:


 
I started off with Crypto.com., but I prefer Newton personally. Lower fees. Not quite as many coins to buy as Crypto, but still pretty solid. I will admit the ability to stake the CRO coin for solid returns is a plus for Crypto.com.

Also, the Crypto maket it a wild place. I started looking at Crypto video games and ended up looking to buy a small amount of MANA which is the coin from Decentraland. The gas fees were insane I decided to not bother. From 2am this morning to when I woke up and had another look it went up like 107%. That's with the Crypto market being red overall over the past day or so. Absolutely wild.
 
Yeah, almost all of the 'gaming' coins and tokens right now are being speculated on, I think with regards to fb/meta. I jumped in to boson protocol the other day on a whim, it's up a ridiculous amount too. Not a long term hold, but I'll happily take some profits out of it.

I don't think there are a lot of long term holds in crypto, but there are a shitload of momentum and speculative plays.

Decided to buy a big stack of Verano at ~$14 so I could feel what it's like to bleed my money away to pot stocks.

In some ways I feel the lack of catalysts ahead will hurt them and it'll be an ugly year end for pot stocks. Weeeeeeeeak earnings coming in the next 2 weeks + lack of legislative catalysts is the most likely scenario.

But almost every single big pot stock bull run has come at the heals of a crypto top. This is a market where everything is flying out of control and money tends to pivot to weed at the very end. I question the upside without a legislative catalyst but I can't fully count out a big move. Hell I even purchased TLRY the other day at around $10.15. Obviously have my stop set so it's a free position but I feel there is potential for a big move there. LPs will lead the way and it may or may not leak into MSOs.
 
Canopy Growth will be reporting earnings tomorrow morning. They'll be a catastrophe. The CEO already strongly hinted at that. But strong guidance may be all the market needs to blast that name up. I'm not gonna touch that one but the stock and sector (particularly the big board names) are dying to make a big move. It's a gimme in this market.
 
SHIBA crashing pretty hard right now. Fell through .00005 little while ago and keeps falling. Might be ugly for a bit. Had two steep drops in the past 16 hrs or so. I've been saying it's a momentum/social sentiment play, so don't hodl this one, lol.
 
Meanwhile, crypto.com (cro), is throwing marketing money around like it's going out of style:

-Big deal with twitch rivals (and already seeing it on League of Legends twitch broadcasts).

-Signed $175m deal with the UFC to be their exclusive partner. Yesterday expanded deal to include NFT's (potentially yuge), while giving fighters 50% cut of sales (great optics)

-Official crypto sponsor of the 76ers

-They advertise in the NHL, youve probably subconsciously seen their logo on the ice at the Bell Centre (spelling, don't care).


They have a fantastic product offering:

-Metal Visa cards: prepaid cards (you load $$ on to spend it), cash back (1% for the 'free' card, up to 8% for the $500k staked card- if interested I can break down card staking more), perks (100% rebate on Spotify, Netflix and Amazon prime, depending on card stake, rebates on Expedia and AirBnb, travel lounge perks depending on card stake)

-Crypto earn: terms from open to 3 month, up to 8.5% interest on btc and eth, up to 14% interest on stable coins, up to 14% interest on polkadot and matic and up to 5% interest on a bunch of other coins (including shib- ugh)


Also, they will be launching their own mainnet (similar to the binance smart chain), within a few days.

They are competing with binance, and they are, to use a term I've seen here before, absolute monsters. For comparison sake, crypto.com has a ~$7.5 billion dollar market cap. Binance is at $94 billion.

Lots of potential here. You aren't early getting in now, but you certainly aren't late.
 
So I went deep into Lqwd @.50. It's a Canadian Fintech that is Looking to build and offer support on the lightning network. Pumped over 38% to .70 so far today. Nice.
 
Every vaccine stock got nuked today, including my ARCT.

MRNA was down $70 at one point. I bot some calls near 210, sold at 220...now holding a runner for 225+
 
Therapeutics are the future! Vaccine stocks tend to get hit when there is antiviral hype. The sustainable profits are typically in treatments anyway.
 
My baby $AVIR, which I sold early (much earlier than their top unfortunately) because their trial results were delayed and I got spooked, was a great attempted play. That one had every reason to run hard. I think their trial design is what killed the stock more than the actual performance of the product. There is little reason why it would be completely ineffective as the results showed compared to Pfizer. That is the one that got away for ol' Presto. So much potential there.
