Week 10 Crypto Portfolio Updates
Well, the portfolio is not doing too awesome this week after the massive sell off last week. But, this is low cap altcoin investing.
Volatility is normal. Gaming continues to be rekt, while memes and ETH are still holding up the portfolio.
I am adding a new position. Another meme coin, now we have 3 meme coins so it is definitely enough.
I bought FOXY, the new memecoin for the Linea blockchain. The current market cap and general hype make it seem like a decent play. Let’s see what happens.
Once Myria gets back into profits I will probably cut that bag. Also considering adding a little more EMC, I know it has not moved much, but I definitely think it has potential.
This week I claimed and sold my Parcl airdrop. It was worth $72. Not bad for a farming position that was held for 9 weeks with $500. That is about a 15% ROI. Cool.
I claimed my Trader Joe Meme Coin Rush rewards, another $7. Not much I know, but it all adds up.
Our Dymension airdrops are heating up. NIM upped the allocation from 70 to 86 NIM thanks to some people not claiming. Still can’t claim, but still looks good. There are a few more airdrops coming for DYM stakers too. Hard to keep track of all of them.
I missed something called Soar, which is airdropping to milkTIA stakers, but the snapshot was before we started the portfolio. I also missed one called Toro because I was on holiday. DAMN.
So hard to keep track of all of these, and since this portfolio is not my #1 priority, stuff gets missed.
I pushed more transactions through on deBridge.
Plena Finance Galxe Tasks still ongoing.
Still doing tasks on PARAM.
Week 9 Crypto Portfolio Updates
Well, memes continue to be holding up the portfolio. Coq Inu and the newly added Benji are both doing very well.
Games, still slaughtered, down between 30 and 50% on 3 of my gaming coins.
I am still thinking about selling my Myria, just to reduce the reliance on gaming in this portfolio. Haven’t decided yet on what to flip it for though. But it will be something on BASE, possibly more memecoins, maybe some defi… going to need to think about it. Might even add more to EMC as it is starting to pick up steam with centralized exchange listings.
Claimed Trader Joe meme rush rewards – it was like $11, so not much, but free money is free, and $11 is more that I would have made by not staking it in Trader Joe.
It appears that Marginfi is possibly backing out of doing a token, but also there was some drama about them apparently not distributing some token rewards. CEO resigned. So there might not be an airdrop to farm. I am getting the money out. Damn. Just put in more last week too.
I took my cash out of Parcl too with the season 3 airdrop points season now finished there was not much reason to keep cash there. Now I have a bunch of extra cash from both Parcl and Marginfi, so next week I will figure out where to put it. Might try to find a farm on BASE or put some money into Meteora on Solana, or just more into Elixir.
Still have Parcl, Elixir and Zerolend as potentially decent airdrops, but these are also heavily flooded by whales, so who knows…
Also, I have been thinking that once I get the Milkyway airdrop for staking my TIA, that I will probably sell the TIA after that.
So, on to the next farm. And this one is called deBridge, which allows for bridging between various chains. Moving between Ethereum layer twos is cheap, and so I am pushing a bunch of transactions between Base and Polygon which seems to be one of the highest point reward routes.
I am pushing through $10 USDC at a time, fees are only a few pennies, and that gets me about 360 points per transaction. For now the $512 I had in Marginfi will be in cash. Next week I will try to find a new coin to put it in.
Did the latest social tasks for PARAM. Pretty damn diluted, but let’s see what happens.
Week 8 Crypto Portfolio Updates
NOTE: This weeks update was written before the weekend crash but the strategy does not change.
Overall an uneventful week for the portfolio. The portfolio is largely following the general sentiment in the market right now. Still in profits, but not by much. Coq Inu still holding up the portfolio.
Our recent meme coin purchase of Benji had a nice initial pump, but has since mellowed out, still in profit though and still has decent potential for a meme coin. Holding for now.
Gaming coins are rekt, but I don’t think they will stay that way.
Unrealized losses on Elumia right now are brutal. Needs to pump 100% just to get back to break even.
Some of this gaming stuff feels almost irrationally oversold. Although this portfolio might be overexposed to gaming.
Perhaps I will cut one of these and put it into another memecoin, or maybe some kind of DeFi play. For example, I might cut Myria and put the money into something on BASE like AERO or Baseswap.
Part of me thinks I should be doing some more short term plays in this portfolio to make it a little more exciting, and maybe I will add in some more stuff like that going forward.
But, also, this portfolio just underlines what a lot of investing is, waiting and boring consistency of showing up and putting in the work.
Got Kamino airdrop, or well more accurately I can see how many coins I will get. It was super lame. Getting my funds out of Kamino. Let’s move on to find the next one.
This is a big reality with airdrop farming you won’t win them all. I did make $6 in interest. The airdrop itself will be worth about $25-30… Not great, but also a 10% return in 8 weeks, so not terrible in perspective.
When I do finally get the coins I will sell them for USDC.
For now I am moving the funds into Marginfi as it is also on Solana and has not done their snapshot for their airdrop yet. When I get that one, I might move the funds off of Solana and into something like Elixir. That remains to be seen though, as I may simply move to another Solana farm when the time comes.
This is the last week of social and gaming missions for NYAN HEROES. Reminder if you want to get involved in this free airdrop to follow the link, Enter Code “TheCryptoLark”.
I did this week’s tasks for the PARAM airdrop, all just sharing stuff. Not hard, but also might not be huge because it is so easy.
Got the TORO airdrop for my TIA staked in Milkyway, claimed the airdrop anyway, the coins will be sent to my wallet in about two weeks when the claim period ends.
I don’t expect much from this to be clear, but hey, possible free money.
Still waiting on the Milkyway snapshot to be taken to see if it is worth anything. I feel like a lot of people are expecting a JITO like airdrop that makes thousands, but my feeling is it will probably not be a crazy one.
Missed Nibiru KYC, damn, I am upset with myself for that one. It was such an easy thing to do too, but I missed the deadline for doing the KYC. I know KYC for airdrops is kind of BS, but I had no problem doing it. I just dropped the ball.
Still a lot of good airdrops coming up. Will try to find a new one to share next week.
And, yes, as usual still pushing transactions across the layer twos and testnets.
Week 7 Crypto Portfolio Updates
Well, another week of watching our gaming coins get rekt. All three of our gaming coins have strong upcoming catalysts. And I am fairly confident that there will be a massive gaming season…
However, that has not happened yet. The one gaming coin that is doing well from the gaming world is Myria.
Interestingly, both Celestia and Dymension have been lagging, but there are some big airdrops coming soon, especially for Dymension which has about 8 airdrops confirmed right now.
Plus, we have upcoming airdrops for Parcl, Kamino, and Marginfi this month! Should be a good month for the portfolio overall.
Coq Inu, continues to be single-handedly holding up the portfolio.
I decided to take a bit of risk with this position. I withdrew it from the exchange, and put it into Trader Joe on Avalanche. They are doing a MEME COIN RUSH campaign.
The terms are that you need to diamond hand for the entire period, and if you do then you will get some rewards. Could be a worthwhile play.
Considering the general hype around memes, I decided to make a very high risk play. We are risking 2.5% of our portfolio value and buying a memecoin on Base.
The one I chose is BaseNJI, Jesse shared it in his Base Altcoin gems report for premium members last week.
At the current market cap the upside potential is high, for a relatively low downside risk in terms of total portfolio exposure. Make no mistake though, I fully accept that we could lose 100% of the 0.1 ETH I sold for this.
Do not blindly follow what I am doing in this high risk demo portfolio.
Reminder that the FREE Nyan Heroes airdrop campaign is still ongoing. If you want to try to get this airdrop too then follow this link and enter the code “TheCryptoLark”.
Param Labs has a few new tasks, so I did them. Another free gaming airdrop to farm. You can sign up here
I did the Plena Finance tasks on Galxe. A lot of these free airdrops require continual grinding. This is one. BUT, it is only a 4 week campaign, and we are on week 3. So, one more week to go, and it is FREE, so not much to lose.
I also did some more IONET tasks on Galxe.
And, yes, for completeness, I did transactions on Taiko, Berachain, Zksync, Linea, and Scroll, using all the bridges I usually use Orbiter Finance, Jumper, and Rhino.
Week 6 Crypto Portfolio Updates
The portfolio is still in profit despite the big sell off last week.
Memecoin COQ INU still holding up the portfolio. I might consider adding another meme in the coming weeks, or maybe $100 in 3 of them. Will update you on this.
Our gaming coins are getting hit the hardest. Currently sitting on $700 in unrealized losses on our low cap high risk gaming coins.
Sometimes it can be hard to hold positions when they are in loss, but with crypto in general we must expect volatility. Gaming season will come again, the only question is when.
Looks like we have a confirmed airdrop for staking the Dymension tokens. We will be getting 70 NIM. I will sell them when I get them. Hope they are worth a bit. Claimed, but not received at the time of writing.
I did the Plena Finance tasks on Galxe. A bunch of free social tasks mostly. Not that heavily diluted compared to most Galxe airdrop farms.
I did all the new Nyan Hero tasks. These free airdrop missions may or may not be good, but previous gaming airdrops have been decent. If you want to try to get this airdrop too then follow this link and enter the code “TheCryptoLark”.
Likewise I did all of the new tasks for Param Labs. You can sign up here
There are new staking tasks for Burnt Finance (XION), it is a free testnet, so I did the tasks.
I am always surprised by how few people actually do these tasks, relative anyway to the number of people in crypto. I know they are a pain in the butt, but free money…
And, I do feel the need to mention again, I did the usual run of transactions across the Ethereum layer two networks. Consistency is key.
Week 5 Crypto Portfolio Updates
The portfolio is holding up quite well despite the recent pullback in the market.
The recent meme mania has been pretty intense to watch. COQ has been the best performer so far in the portfolio. But the other coins also have strong narrative potential and will have their moves in time.
The desire to ape into low cap meme coins is real, but risky. And while this is a high risk portfolio already, I don’t want to risk blowing it up, plus it is hard for you reading to benefit from any meme coin calls because of the extreme nature of the “assets”.
IE, BOME went from zero to 1.5 billion in 48 hours. There is no way we can get that info published in time for it to be relevant for you.
Part of the challenge right now is just to stay the course. At this stage I don’t think that any of the coins are “losers”. It is important to be honest here and cut a loser coin when it appears to be one, but none of these coins have shown that yet.
The airdrop portion of this portfolio will start paying off soon with multiple confirmed airdrops for our strategies.
With all of this in mind I sold $300 worth of COQ. I will be adding that into a new airdrop farm called Elixir. More on that in a moment. But, I am still positioned to ride COQ higher. But, the profits also give me the flexibility to add in a new farm while waiting for some other farms to pay out.
So, on that note, let’s do some airdrop farming.
There are a few new Nyan Heroes Missions for the free campaign that I did.
If you want to try to get this airdrop too then follow this link and enter the code “TheCryptoLark”.
Gaming ecosystem coin Param Labs has opened up their airdrop points system.
Once again we must do social tasks. Easy stuff, the drop may not be massive, but again free so worth doing. You can sign up here
As mentioned, I put $300 into Elixir app. This was done via Arbitrum and was put into the USDT USDC pool. This will earn points plus a big APY. It is a yield aggregator backed by big boys like Mysten labs. New tech, I could lose all of my money of course. Regardless, low risk, possibly good reward IMO for a $300 risk.
By the way if you haven’t added LAVA Network to your wallet yet then it is a pretty easy free airdrop to qualify for, so check it out.
I did the Berachain transactions, I did the Taiko transactions, I did the Aleo transactions, I did the Layer Two transactions on Scroll, Linea, zkSync, and Mode which are all cheaper now thanks to the Ethereum upgrade. This stuff is a pain in the butt. But, that is kind of the point.
In an ideal situation I would have much more time to devote to running this portfolio up by spending more time each week farming airdrops. But between a big content schedule and managing my own portfolio there is only so much time for airdrop hunting.
Hopefully we get a few big payoffs from all of this.
Week 4 Crypto Portfolio Updates
The total portfolio is looking good this week. We are up 45% with our biggest winner thus far being the meme coin COQ INU. It is almost 250% in profit.
Chainflip is #2 at 75% profit. Just riding everything for now. No need to rebalance anything yet or take profits and add a new coin.
Lots of airdrops could be coming up soon which would provide a nice boost to the portfolio.
For example: Apparently NIM Network will be the first rollapp on Dymension with 9% of the supply dropped to DYM stakers. Could be our first win.
There are a few other likely airdrops coming too. Will keep you posted.
Free Airdrops (confirmed)
Nyan Heroes is a cat mech fighting game. Big backers. AND, most importantly a confirmed airdrop which is FREE to participate in.
- Step 1: Go Here
- Step 2: Enter Code “TheCryptoLark”
- Step 3: Do all the free tasks
- Step 4: Wait for week two free tasks
These games have had some insane airdrops recently. This could be the next big one.
I connected my wallet via Lava Network’s RPC, which will put me in line for an airdrop from them when the day comes. Don’t worry they walk you through how to do everything if you also want to do it. It is super easy and free to do! Check it out.
There is a new Xion chain task to do on the free testnet. You need to a mint a free NFT on an app called Moseiki and follow their socials.
Free Testnets (possible airdrops)
I went to Alpha Swap on Aleo and did a transaction.
I made an NFT on Aleo Store.
Everything worked this week. So will keep doing a few transaction per week on the testnet.
I started doing some transactions on the Taiko testnet. To start I had to add the Ethereum Holesky testnet manually to my Metamask.
- Network name: Holesky Testnet
- Network URL: https://ethereum-holesky.publicnode.com
- Chain ID: 17000
- Currency symbol: ETH
- Block explorer URL: https://holesky.beaconcha.in
Holesky Faucet is where I got some testnet ETH.
I then used the official bridge to mint some HORSE.
Then I sent some ETH from Holesky to Taiko’s testnet
I also sent the HORSE tokens from Holesky to Taiko.
I minted a domain name here.
Bought an NFT here.
I minted my own NFT there as well.
Then I sent the NFT I bought from Taiko, back to Ethereum via the bridge.
I did some token swaps here.
I went to ThirdWeb and deployed an NFT contract and a marketplace contract and a token contract.
Other than that just continuing the usual tasks. Doing transactions on Berachain, doing the usual transactions across layer twos.
Week 3 Crypto Portfolio Updates
Overall the portfolio is not doing anything too crazy this week with Bitcoin stealing the show.
Dymension and Celestia are both down 20%. We need an airdrop to get some excitement there again.
EMC and Myria are both up about 40%.
Interestingly, my Ethereum is up about 40% as well which was not really anticipated.
Overall portfolio gains 15% so far. But we have some big airdrops coming soon that could change the game for us. Parcl and Milkyway in particular have been announced, and Marginfi, Zeroland, and Kamino we are building points on daily. In fact, Marginfi has pretty strongly teased that the airdrop could be coming soon.
Plus, the big layer twos Linea, Scroll, and Zksync could be launching their tokens in the coming months.
Parcl has announced that they will be launching their airdrop, coming in April. This could be the first big win for our portfolio. Curious to see what kind of airdrop we are going to get here.
Reminder if you want to farm this airdrop too then you need to:
- Step 1 – Go Here
- Step 2 – Manually turn on points
- Step 3 – Manually enter code lark
I did all of the required Nibiru social tasks this week. The social campaign has now ended though. Let’s see what the airdrop looks like. Expectations are pretty damn low on this one as it is just sharing and liking tweets. BUT, let’s see.
Grabbed a name at Beranames for a possible bonus on a future Berachain airdrop. Also continuing the usual stuff like doing swaps. Network is super buggy so hard to even do some tasks.
Orbiter Finance added some bonus points for moving funds in and out of Linea. My little ETH stack is slowly getting ground down paying all of these on chain fees to do swaps, move across bridges, etc. Fees are too high even on layer twos.
I am dropping Woofi from the regular farming list as it is too limited being just on Linea for the perpetual trading.
I did some voting on Dymension goverance, just in case it helps make me eligible for future airdrops.
This week we are adding the Aleo testnet into the mix.
- First I needed to download a new wallet here.
- Then I went to their Discord to request testnet tokens. It is a bit of a process, but the wallet gives clear steps.
- Then I went to Alpha Swap and tried to do a transaction. In typical testnet fashion, nothing works. LOL.
- I made an NFT on Aleo Store.
Week 1 Crypto Portfolio Updates
Overall a nice start for the 10k to 100k Challenge. Portfolio is up nicely.
Total PNL for the week is we are up about 10%, a little over $1000! Not bad considering that $1,000 was in stablecoins before apeing into MXM. Meme coin Coq Inu was the big winner.
I decided to add Mixmob as the final coin, for now, for the portfolio. It fits most of what we want to see in a coin for this portfolio. Although, I didn’t necessarily want to get into another gaming coin. But, gaming is hot and one of my favorite narratives.
This coin is new and shiny, just hitting the market two weeks ago. Solana narrative has been hot. Already has seen 6 figures in revenue in just a few weeks of beta testing. Majority of early investors have not sold, which means they have conviction. Full game launch coming soon!
I will keep an eye on this, but could flip into main game launch hype, but let’s see how it goes. *I am a private round investor in MXM in main portfolio. Once again, many of the coins chosen here are for both potential and familiarity.
I had been thinking about Shido, full report here, but it is only on main chain ETH (fees too high for this portfolio), and some random exchange MEXC which I don’t want to start an account for.
I did various tasks on orbiter finance which involved sending a few dollars of ETH between chains to collect O points. Special note on moving funds back and forth to MODE which could qualify us for an airdrop there too.
I am sharing posts on social media for Nibiru’s airdrop campaign. Such campaigns tend not to have massive rewards. But, let’s see.
I put 0.1 ETH on Zerolend to farm their airdrop on zkSync.
Milkyway has announced their points program for Celestia stakers. You can read about it here. Thus confirming that yes, I will get an airdrop from staking these TIA.
I am starting to do interactions on Woofi, which is backed by the guys Orderly. This is to farm the Orderly airdrop. Bonus is that I can do the swaps on Zksync and Linea to make more volume there on chain too. So a two for one deal, hopefully!
I minted NFTs on zkSync, Linea, and Scroll via RhinoFi.
Week 2 Crypto Portfolio Updates
At the time of writing the portfolio has not seen much in the way of gains from last week. Elumia is down, Myria is up, Coq Inu still up. Just chilling. I do wonder how long it will take to pull this off? Going to be an interesting experiment for sure.
So, spot bags, just chilling. Time to farm!
I decided to use MODE a bit more aside from completing the tasks last week on Orbiter Finance. So this week I will add it into my overall farming strategy by bridging some ETH across and doing a few swaps on the native MODE protocols like Sup Swap.
Invite Code 6T6RXs for MODE.
I am also pulling half of the money from Kamino, and putting it into Marginfi. Perhaps the idea is flawed, but both have points systems. Both have good potential. Plus, Marginfi has a juicy 8% APY right now on those stable coins.
Also, a slight update on Woofi, apparently only the perpetual swap futures DEX pulls liquidity from orderly. And only on Linea. So, I will still do a couple of trades per week there, but it is much more limited than initially thought. Although right now it is not letting me sign in, so will try again next week and unless it works then I will remove from the list.
For Parcl, I moved my funds to their new updated contract. Also, I enabled points. LOL. Forgot to do that in week 1. Parcl is not the most user friendly airdrop farm. You need to sign up, then manually enable points. PS, you will get a 5% bonus on your points if you manually enter the code lark on the points page.
Berachain farming, I did the usual interactions plus I minted a Valentine’s NFT.
New XION tasks have popped up to do, so I did them.
On Zerolend I did free tasks like saying GM in the discord to get 10 points. Seems silly, but they are free points. But, my 0.1 ETH sitting in there is making WAY more points. Almost to 5,000 points! What that equates to for an airdrop… who knows?
I did my social tasks for Nibiru Chain.
Orbiter Finance has more O points to claim this week sending transactions to Scroll and back. So I sent 6 transactions to Scroll, and 6 back, for 0.001 ETH each. Creating nice potential to get situated for the airdrops on zkSync, Scroll, and Orbiter Finance. Although, it did cost a bit in terms of fees with Orbiter to do. Which is not awesome.
Next week, I will add in a new testnet I think.
