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.

Are you passing on this?

  How bad do you want your financial freedom? I sent you a crypto newsletter because I want you to be rich and escape the rat race. However, it seems that there might be a few things stopping you.   I wanted to take a minute to talk about the two of them...   1. Money blocks.  Most people think that money is the root of all evil (personally, that’s how losers think). But the reality is it’s the root of all goodness. Wealth is what will give you the means to lift yourself up and help those around you.   As my Rich Dad said,  “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is.”   2. Patience and discipline.  Most people give up before even starting (again, the mark of a loser). But achieving financial freedom is not an event… it’s a process. And it will only happen if you take the first step… and then the step after that.   In short - there’s no way to really avoid the pain or the scary parts. Inevitably,...

Now, we did have a big hiccup here.

 One of them is China. China has huge protests going on right now with the lockdowns. Honestly, there are two bad options for China. One, they double down on Zero COVID policy. This could get really bad where they're arresting citizens, they're using force, and they’re locking everybody up. Or China can do the opposite, just let everything go and end the “Zero COVID policy” and allow people to just freely roam around. The reason why this is a big deal is, number one, it brings uncertainty, and every time you have uncertainty, you see dips in the market. The second thing is the outcomes are bad. Let's say they just open up and end the “Zero tolerance” policy. Probably China’s hospital systems would get overrun. China has been doing media control saying, "People are getting vaccinated. It's getting better," but overall they're not prepared for this. They're not like all the other countries that opened up allowing everyone to get infected with a milder ve...
