Krusty Krab

You thought the dreaded USDT drama ruining markets was finally over? Think again! Tether revealed through Twitter that the company is now being blackmailed.

Market outlook: Bitcoin looks pretty fragile, Ethereum even more so, which is making me think the correction is not yet finished. Still recommend staying on spot, buying dips on assets you can easily move into farms such as DOT, ADA, XVS, BNB for Pancakeswap or RAY, SRM, and SOL for Raydium.

Where to trade?

Here are my favourite crypto exchanges, use the referral link for atleast a 10% discount on your trading fees. Don't use random exchanges, hacks are well documented in crypto history!

  • Bybit - Currently, this is my favourite platform! Great liquidity and bonuses for deposits.
  • Delta Exchange - Good for a degen account, no KYC required but low liquidity.
  • Binance - Lots and lots of spot altcoin pairs, especially BTC pairs.
  • KuCoin - Great for longer small cap holds.
