Crypto Monitor: The SEC’s Inconsistent Investor Protections
By Early Investing on June 9, 2023
It’s been a rough week. The SEC sued Coinbase and Binance. And a lot of coins have been called out by name in those lawsuits. The SEC declared that Solana, Cardano, Cosmos, Polygon, COTI, Decentraland, Algorand, Filecoin, The Sandbox, Axie Infinity, Chiliz, Flow, Internet Computer Protocol, NEAR Protocol, Voyager Token, Dash, and Nexo are all unregistered securities. Given that, we’re selling our Decentraland position and recommend investors do the same. But hold on to Cosmos. …
The SEC Can’t Kill Crypto
By Vin Narayanan on June 9, 2023
We’re entering a new phase in the development of the crypto ecosystem. The era of crypto exchanges and crypto businesses operating without any regulatory oversight are coming to an end. The European Parliament voted 517-38 in April on a comprehensive package of new rules aimed at…

By Early Investing on February 3, 2023

New Pick: A Sophisticated DEX Aiming for Cross-Chain Harmony
By Vin Narayanan on January 27, 2023
One of the trickier elements of crypto portfolio construction is knowing when to diversify and when to double down on elements that are working. In order to be successful, you have to do both. For the past 12 months, we’ve focused mostly on diversification. We needed…
Stargate Finance Still Has a Shot at Success
By Vin Narayanan on November 18, 2022
I like to have the TV on while I write. The background noise helps my mind focus. And because I have YouTube TV, I can record almost anything I want and watch/listen to it later. Earlier this week, I put Meet the Press…

New Pick: A De-Risked Pick-and-Shovel Coin With Stellar Potential
By Vin Narayanan on April 22, 2022
I’ve always been a fan of pick-and-shovel plays — especially in emerging technologies. Picking winners as the dynamics of the industry are constantly shifting is incredibly difficult. But if investors can identify the technology that any new technology can’t be built without, they’ve found a way to de-risk…

Layer One Ethereum Competitor Performing Well
By Adam Sharp on October 29, 2021
Layer one blockchains competing with ethereum have been on FIRE, especially Solana (SOL). One of our portfolio coins falls in that blockchain category, and it’s been doing extremely well too. In fact, it’s been doing well enough that some of you might be thinking about taking profits.

By Adam Sharp on June 25, 2021
Wow! What a crazy few weeks. This correction has been brutal. But I remain convinced that we are still in a long-term bull market uptrend. Let me explain why. Take a look at this chart on Twitter.
