New @Edge_Pod! The lore behind @koolkrypto223 is epic: mining BTC at 13, early to DeFi with ETHLend, early to onchain perps with GMX, bet big on the HYPE airdrop, and now runs his own fund trading and investing in crypto, backed by one of the most iconic family offices in the world. "People forgot to believe a little bit. Everybody's been so bear-pilled... that a lot of people forget a lot of what we've been thinking about for the last 5-7 years is finally coming to fruition. The [onchain] options market is a great example of that." Listen to his first major interview where he breaks down his viral ETH and BTC bets on @DeriveXYZ, why he thinks ETH extreme upside is mispriced, how he's been accumulating DRV + KNTQ, and despite CLARITY failing, why "Opulent October" is just around the corner.

Options Basics EP. 4: How to Setup a Call Spread 🎬 Bullish but a plain call feels too expensive? A call spread lowers the cost by capping your upside, and the most you can lose is still what you pay.

We added the @koolkrypto223 spread as a featured trade. Check out who else followed him in on @DeriveXYZ 👇 optionly.com/trades/koolkryp…
Following Derive's Tradetape now feels almost like a game - there are so many trades printing. We added copy-trade links to every print: click one and it opens the trade in the UI with the legs already selected. Play around with the payoff chart to see the risk/reward. NFA, DYOR.

Every wallet holding the spread 113 hold it one-for-one, 15 with unequal legs; 30 more bought only the 5000 call (1,477 contracts) and are not listed. Cost is the per-leg average of each wallet's own fills; mark-to-market using the Derive mark of the spread. Sorted by size.

Props to the @DeriveXYZ for grinding all these years Always wanted to see options on-chain pick up and seems like that time has finally come! Wrote one of my first theses on Derive(previously Lyra) back in 2022 when it was 40m in mcap. Such a rare case in crypto where a good team simply didn't give up.
Lyra Thesis : The next GMX? Similar founders traits - Iterative builders - First principle thinkers - Conservative token emissions Similar project traits - Minimalistic UX - Strong community - Healthy metrics(OI and revenue) Target : $0.3 hansolar.notion.site/Lyra-Th…

Been throwing all of my assets into @infinex_app Everyone is fading the $PYTH airdrop like it was a one-off, imo this is a precursor to more partner drops. Badges (do stuff in the app) = Rewards (tokens) Tells you on the homepage - it can't be any clearer, spoonfed alpha. 👇
