Buys and Sells
I took out some more DAI, versus my Ethereum in the Maker Dao Summerfi app.
I used my Manta that I claimed to take a USDC loan on Layer Bank. I used that USDC to buy more Manta.
Oh, and I sold a little bit of Bitcoin to buy some Manta too. Blasphemy I know. But the thesis is simple. Manta feels undervalued. Try to ride it for a 2 or 3x higher, swap it out to return the BTC and some cash. It is always a risk doing this with BTC which is why I am using just a small bit of BTC to do this.
I added some more COIN using some cash I got from dividends on other stocks.
I bought some more Elumia. Which surprises even me! But, even though I had written it off during the bear market, it seems to be back. They survived the bear market and all the tokens are out. Game launching probably in the next few months. And at the current tiny market cap, the risk reward seems worth it. I doubled my position. Might even add some more later.
I sold my first tranche of Magic Square tokens, this is to recoup the investment. Any future releases will basically all be profit now. This was 10% of coins. Another 90% will be released starting later this year.
I also sold XDEFI tokens from a previous venture round.
I removed my funds from Xena Finance on Base.
I invested in presales for Minterest, GRVT, and Orderly.
I am contemplating selling my EGLD, I may not, I might just keep staking and holding. Perhaps its hype cycle will come soon enough.
Farming
I staked 5 ETH into Etherfi, which is a staking protocol connected to Eigen Layer.
I also put 5 ETH into stader labs staking to get ETHx, I took that ETHx and put it into Kelp Dao which again builds Eigen staking points.
Bonus, but remember a few months back I put some ETH into Claystack? Yeah, they just announced Eigen staking points too.
I claimed my Ondo Finance points. Basically if you held stablecoins in your wallet in 2023 then you could get some points. Points probably can count towards an airdrop later.
I added some ARB to Thetanuts Finance which will be doing an airdrop.
Zetachain airdrop is now live. I did not qualify. The snapshot was all the way back in August, and I did things on chain after that. Oh well. Onto the next one.
Apparently, Dmail will be doing their airdrop as anticipated. Hopefully I get something as I have been active on a few chains. Will check when their claim goes live.
