My first deep dive buying crypto coins was in 2017. Here's something quick I learned from my own personal experience (which I'm sure many people will disagree with, but it works for me):
Similar to how I'd invest into equities in the stock market, I believed that having a diverse portfolio of coins would allow for healthy returns while also hedging risk. After scanning through different media platforms and group chats I was in at the time, I would research coins I found interesting and then deploy some capital (nothing substantial) into these coins to watch them trade.
Over the years, I bought coins like $XLM (stellar), $EOS, $NEO, $XRP, $ADA, $WABI, $ALGO and a few more. More recently (past couple years), I played with metaverse related coins and some newer coins that were said to be "ETH / BTC killers". Some examples are $MANA, $WRLD, $SOL, $AVAX, $HEX etc. Dabbled in the NFT coins as well - $LOOKS, $BLUR, $APE etc.
For tons of different reasons, most of these investments turned out to be losses (and oftentimes went straight to 0). A few of these coins definitely have strong use cases, but realistically spotting these is incredibly difficult - it's a needle in a haystack. The best advice I would pass on to someone newly invested in the space would be to just buy $BTC and $ETH. Ignore the people telling you "this is the next big thing." It'll be big for a week or two, but eventually it probably heads to 0. Stick to the leaders and you'll probably outperform 90% of the active traders in the space.
At this point, my ideal crypto portfolio would look like:
1) $ETH / $BTC (80%)
2) Meme tokens but SOLELY to trade. Holding long is an auto L. $DOGE $PEPE etc. will never hold any sort of value, but they provide an opportunity here and there, plus it's fun and keeps me engaged (10%)
3) Coins that are trying to innovate, but most likely will underperform relative to eth/btc - sol, $HBAR, algorand, avax, etc. (10%)
Posted this mainly for myself to look back on, but am always happy to chat with others to see their experiences over the years.
Congratulations to an incredible team led by Michael
Today, Covenant is emerging from stealth and introducing Anthem: a heavy-payload deep precision strike capability designed for mass production, with deliveries beginning in the thousands in 2027.
We’ve raised $250 million, flown Anthem in more than 200 tests, and secured approximately $150 million in orders, including contracts with the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and key international allies.
We’re building Anthem at our 105,000-square-foot production facility in Dallas, alongside factories in Germany and Israel.
Covenant is backed by @a16z, @foundersfund, @Lux_Capital, @lightspeedvp, @8vc, @aleph, and @AltimeterCap.
Deep precision strike is the biggest gap in the arsenal of the West, and we spent the last two years building Anthem to fill it.
Now we deliver at scale.
First thoughts:
- Jaylen Brown called Embiid a flopper and said Bronny isn’t an NBA player. That first practice will be interesting
- Edgecombe as the 5th option is filthy
- Mike Gansey is playing the 82-0 game
- Maxey is about to hit another level and become a superstar
Reminder that this absolute moron actually typed this tweet and then hit the send button. Sociopathic behavior.
Imagine following someone like this for financial advice and still thinking you’re gonna make it.
Attention at any cost though, right @rasmr_eth?

Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.
This guy basically just said “you can’t have free speech”
Ironic considering the fact that he absolutely deserves to face consequences for these words. Not just fired from his job but completely unemployable (at the bare minimum).
Absolute pig
