WAVES Makes Waves. Crypto's "Decoupling" ContinuesAfter Friday's "decoupling" event, the markets have mostly stayed flat (it feels like there's a lot of confusion and uncertainty in the market as a whole right now) with a few exceptions - WAVES seems to be the big winner today, followed by AXS (Axie Infinity) and ADA (Cardano). XTZ (Tezos) had a very good week this week but at least for today, it seems to be in the red. With altcoins normally moving in parallel to each other, these trends are interesting to look at because it seems like after Friday each coin seems to have suddenly gained independence as we start to see less and less parallel motion over time. Time will tell if this "decoupling" trend continues - but so far, it seems to be the case. By the way, if you invested in LUNA right at its rock-bottom a few days ago you would have made a 5.9 MILLION % return today. High risk, high reward. 😂 I don't recommend putting your life savings into bets like these but there is something to the idea of supporting a project during its struggles since that's often how investors make their biggest returns.

How Developing Countries Predicted the Rise of the MetaverseThe market is down right now but these are also good times to take a look at what might be the "next big thing". Had you got into the metaverse a year ago, you will most likely be up right now. Otherwise, you're probably in the red. (Yes, even Bitcoin and Ethereum.) The metaverse is this year's clear winner in terms of performance, and it's not too surprising that a lot of big name brands have decided to try to get in on it, too. A lot of people claim that Zuckerberg's "Meta" was what sparked the metaverse craze, but if you look at AXS's chart it's pretty clear that the coin was climbing way before the media gave the idea any attention. A lot of innovations and early-adoption activities happen in lesser-known (often non-English speaking and developing) countries before making its way into the "mainstream", so to speak. Predicting long-term trends is not magic - you just need to know where to look.

Hacked? The Problem With Cross-Chain Tokens and PlatformsLately there has been an increase in hacking activities in crypto and Web3 related projects as whole, as hackers target smaller projects and platforms to siphon money out of vulnerable systems. To be clear, none of the major protocols or coins has EVER been breached - Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Tezos, etc. The protocol has always been safe, and decentralized. But individual projects and platforms (including DAOs and DeFis) might be vulnerable. Crypto projects get hacked in two main ways: 1) For efficiency/speeds, crypto projects built on top of certain blockchains often have to be centralized to some extent in order to get the results needed. This often leads to vulnerabilities that can be targeted by hackers (ex. 1 login/password that gives the intruder access to everything). 2) 51% attacks - if the hackers are willing to front enough money to own 51%+ of the tokens, they can use that leverage to basically control the whole blockchain for their own purposes at any time. This gets more difficult as the network grows (since it becomes more expensive to reach 51%+) but smaller blockchain projects are vulnerable to these types of attacks since it requires much less resources than trying to target larger networks. (The major coins out there are basically impossible to 51% attack at this point.) Because Web3 projects is still in its early stages at this point, breaches like these may become more commonplace and people may end up losing a lot of money if they're not careful. Buyer beware, either way. According to Vitalik, the solution to this problem is Maximalism a "healthy intolerance" of other forms of thinking.

Axie Infinity// Wheres da PAMP?As stated in the video, the next big leg up like the preceding two will require as much or more of an accumulation period than we've previously had. Currently the sequence seems to be to form a pattern just before hitting the Daily 20MA and on the test of the 20MA, we get our leg up. Previous legs up required Aprx. ~1 WEEK, then ~2 WEEKS before their big move. Currently price has only been accumulating for about 14 days, which is less than the previous leg up. Going based on my personal bias, my assumption is that it'll take possibly one more week before price appreciates from our current levels.

MY VIEW ON Smooth Love Potion (SLP)Looking at the market structure of Slp when my friend Christain Onyemetu sahred an insight of the coin to me. I looked at monthly chat and noticed that the general market of slp is overall bearish and the price is also trading at demand zone, so I marked my order block and drew my trendline and they confluenced at $0.177 and I mark there as my point of interest and I am going to set my buy stop at $0.177. Remember this is nota financial advice, you can as well do your own reaserch. Little info on Smooth Love Potion (SLP) which you may also like to know is below: What is SLP? Smooth Love Potion (SLP) tokens can be earned as rewards by Axie Infinity players through battle or adventure mode. SLP are tokens that can be used to breed new digital pets, known as Axies. It was formally known as Small Love Potion before the token upgrade to the Ronin blockchain. The cost of breeding begins at 100 SLP but increases gradually — rising to 200 SLP for the second breed, 300 for the third, 500 for the fourth, 800 for the fifth, and 1,300 for the sixth. Axies can be bred a maximum of seven times, and the seventh breed costs 2,100 SLP. This limit exists in order to prevent hyperinflation in the marketplace. SLP paves the way to the concept of Play-to-earn which popularizes the Axie Infinity games among players who are looking to earn some money or participate in DeFi. It is especially popular in countries like Philippines. Besides SLP, Axie Infinity has a governance token called AXS which players can use to participate in determining the future direction of the game. How can I earn SLP? You can earn SLP by playing the Axie Infinity game through winning battles and fulfilling daily quests hence the "play to earn" term was coined. To start playing the game, you would need to obtain some Axies from the marketplace, which are creatures that can be used to battle other players in the game. Another way of obtaining Axies would be through some interest groups that offer Axies as a loan in the form of a scholarship. SLP earned from the game are splitted between the scholarship holders and the group lending out the Axies. How much SLP can I earn per day? SLP earnings can vary depending on the players' skill and their energy resources. On average, a good player can reasonably earn 200 SLP per day through winning battles and fulfilling daily quests.
