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

NFT

  And this segues into our NFT section where Coinbase is adding support for PYR (the primary utility token of the platform). It's called Vulcan Forged. Remember, anytime you see an exchange listing, you should sell. Because the coin will pump, and nine times out of 10, probably 99 times out of a hundred, actually, the thing's going to fade back to the pre-listing price. For that reason, I do think this is going to fall back to $3. It did bounce to $3.30, which is about 10%. But that's always a great time to sell. You can always buy back in for 10% less in theory. But you have no idea if the market is going to keep it going but statistically, that's just what happens almost all of the time. We also have OpenSea launching on BNB Chain. Now the funny thing is I never thought of BNB Chain as a very NFT centric chain. Solano is the other bigger player, and Polygon is catching up. Also, a lot of these other chains like Avalanche are trying to get onto it, but it's not rea...
