Ribbon

 Ribbon, by the way, is offering a staked Ethereum vault, so you can actually earn money on the staked ETH and on the vault, which is doing a cover called Strategies. They also announced a VIP program, so ribbon is just firing on all cylinders. They have another L1 chain coming out called AVO. I just love it when you see a project just continuously delivering stuff. I've used Ribbon, I think it's actually a great product.

I have a small holding in Ribbon. I just bought some and then played with it, but it's up 21% today. And it was one of our, I believe it's one of our top five coins this month as well. But it's already up so much that I don't want to make this a spotlight coin of the week again either. It's just tough when it's up 56% over the last week. It did get hit hard from the FTX fallout. I don't want to hide that. 

And then Aave, we talked about last week just having gone through a crazy attack. Someone was taking collateral, then making it so that they can get liquidated on their own position on Aave. And then the liquidity for the collateral wouldn't be able to convert in time, and then they would've gone long in the position somewhere else. So they're kind of stealing about $1.6 million from Aave. That was kind of the attack vector. Aave said that they've paused some of the markets because there's that risk. And the cool thing is Aave is actually up. So last week it was at $.55, I believe, it hit $.50 during that attack. And it's come back to normalization right now. So it's about in line with Ethereum recovery, 9% versus 10%. This was mentioned last week as something I'd pick up.

First of all is the Fed.

 Every week we talk about inflation calming down. This week there is a hint that maybe December’s interest hike might only be a 50 basis point move as opposed to the expected 75 basis point move.  This is why you’ll hear markets “cheer, everything is still going up. They're seeing an end in sight to these interest hikes. This is important because if one can reasonably assume the interest rate peak is going to be in February, then they can start deploying their funds accordingly.

Why you should believe in Bitcoin 2023

  Here is why we think Bitcoin is making a comeback SOON! So, you better get ready. Bitcoin is about to make the “geniuses” at the Federal Reserve look, well…. Stupid.  Bitcoin  is “halving” and there is a great chance this could be a major spike in the asset's price.   But you need to be an early adopter to grab this opportunity.   What is halving?   It’s what makes the dollar look ridiculous!   While the Federal  Reserve an d Treasury are printing more money and devaluing the dollar, Bitcoin is doing the opposite.   Bitcoin is making it twice as hard to mine and thus slowing down the number of Bitcoin in the world.   Bitcoin is making itself more valuable.   Take lessons Powell, you might learn something!   To learn more about halving and profit from it,     Don’t be a Powell, ILLBERTIC

ConsenSy/MetaMask

 The other big thing this week was ConsenSys. ConsenSy owns MetaMask and they use Infura, which is a API that interfaces with the Ethereum blockchain. They're going to start collecting your location/IP data. And what is a controversy here is the question “does this mean crypto is no longer anonymous?” So what we'll do is kind of post some alternatives on MetaMask and different RPCs. So RPC is just how do you communicate with Ethereum essentially and the API to Ethereum. And basically, we can give you a few alternatives. And you could also VPN, and I think it also solves a problem. We’ll post those in our monthly “State of Crypto” Newsletter coming out later today.  Okay. Now, let's move on.
