    I don't trade, but it's fascinating to see these guys I follow on Twitter

    Difficult to match their humor on CT, but I'm not disappointed, lol

    crypto cred (lower left corner) has good free material on utube that covers the basics.

    There's some good stuff after about an hour of jokes...

    I've been watching crypto Zombie. He covers everything, fundamentals and analysis. His videos are short too. Pretty much 95% of everything he predicts has been spot on. He covers all the latest news, and covers technical analysis. But he's also more optimistic, bullish for Bitcoin. (Rightfully so too)

    Crypto Kirby, I'll watch him sometimes for his heavily in depth anaylisis. He is always 90% pessimistic and sounds like someone is choking him while he speaks. Also he constantly says the same lame jokes over and over which can be entertaining. He is always thinking like a bear, and most of the time he will tell you both sanarios if the market goes up or down...

    It was an enjoyable stream, math camp being so wholesome. Sam’s breakdown of market events are great but what he (& co) did to Reef, not so much.

  7. I watched the channel crypto bullshit and found it incredibly enlightening. The entire series lasted around 5 minutes and included all the facts and figures one needs to know.

    Math camp and MIT background... Wholesome and nerdy, but total badasses in analytics and game theories, I thought the edge in basketball sports gambling using modeling simulations was interesting, though as Sam explained it, is fun but couldn't scale to crypto profits trading potential unless there were a million games a night

    My biggest loss on this bull market was CREAM which Ironically if I just held could have been very profitable as I kept adding to the position, power of the bull market, all longs are profitable and everyone's a genius until it is no longer a runaway bull market

    Anyway, re: CREAM was a high flyer and when I got in, defi platform was in hypergrowth, the dev team had their coins locked for years of vesting, then it got listed on FTX (Sam and Alameda research), and with perpetual futures and token allocation to FTX team, CREAM got shorted to its knees. I read up that this is the MO for FTX and how it's a death sentence for young projects to be listed there

    If I only knew how to trade perp futures, I could have listened to a guy on Discord pointing out there was a constant 20% discount on CREAM. I tried the perp btc futures on FTX, but reviewing what happened on CREAM then, and my non-KYC'ed account on FTX, would have meant I'd have needed to leave a high amount of capital on FTX due to $2000/daily wd limit, so I would not have been willing to do that then, or now (i.e. btc perp futures hedging)

    Sorry about REEF, not familiar with what happened there, but I'd guess Sam's antics...

    Sorry about your Cream trade.

    Yeah, everyone wants exchange listings until it happens and didn't realize larger size is chomping at the bit to short outright or cash & carry.

    Here’s a good explanation about perps and how they function in the Bankless podcast AMA#2 by Antonio Juliano founder of DyDx.

    The Reef saga:



    edit:
    btw, I'm long Reef. I think it's a good way to have exposure to the Polkadot ecosystem without going all in.
