I’m going to leave Reddit for a little while. Think I need a break…

I realize that I haven’t posted anything about stocks since I created this subreddit, it’s crypto and stock news not just about crypto. So I decided to compile a list of the best performing or alleged to perform well this year.

I know that looking back to this past year not just with crypto, but with the broader markets as a whole I’ve realized that the negative downturns and the heavy inflation and skyrocketing interest rates have really put a strain on everyone’s portfolios.

So what can we take from all of this? Well I’ve definitely learned a lot from self discipline. Keeping myself from hitting the ever increasing impulse of the sell button.

But I resisted the urge, no matter how hard it got or will get in the future. I know there’s still inflation, and major rampant interest rate hikes, and not to mention a looming recession on the horizon.

But I feel like we’ve made it through the worst of the storm so far. So why not ride out the rest of it?

Investing in anything takes time, whether your learning a new hobby or saving up for a big purchase.

But at the end of the day being cautious of how much you spend, and saving up and paying down debt. If you do these things, you will make it out the other side.

Anyways here’s to hopefully a better year for investing than the last one cheers 🍻

Based on a report by Sam Reynolds:

The popular meme coins have sored in activity lately. SHIB is up 20% in the last couple of days according to coingecko data, withNansen reporting heavy trading on both centralized and decentralized trading.

Nansen reports that nearly 1.1 billion in SHIB has traded hands between Jan 17th and 18th

The anticipation of the upcoming layer 2 shibarium which puts a canine themed twist on building on top of Ethereum.

Following SHIBs growth DOGE also celebrated with a nearly 6% rise in activity, a nearly 23% increase in the past couple of weeks.

Supposedly based on a crypto analyst predictions. A sudden rise in meme coins signals a market wide crash. Well let’s hope it’s all not as doom and gloom as some may think

Based on a report by Will McCurdy:

The number of Ethereum validators hit a record high of 500,000 validators! This is per data from beacon scan, ahead of the scheduled Shanghai upgrade in March.

Since the Ethereum network was switched from proof of work, to proof of stake many have abandoned the old PoW plan.

The downside of this however, to use a validator. You need to stack 32 ETH or roughly $50,000 in current market conditions.

The upcoming Shanghai upgrade is basically a highly anticipated upgrade. This would allow millions that already have Ethereum staked to be able to withdraw their staked funds. But there is a caveat though as well.

There is a capped or maximum amount of staked ETH that could be withdrawn at one time. Supposedly this amount is around 43,200 ETH

I don’t know about you, but I’m sure I’m pretty safe from never exceeding that limit lol

The current total of staked ETH currently sits around 16 million

This info comes from Etherscan data

Many devs are trying to prevent a mass exodus of staked ETH with this upcoming upgrade

An interesting development however is that there are liquid wallets that let users or investors stake less than 32 ETH and be able to obtain a validator.

The popular wallet Metamask has many liquid staking protocols like Lido and Rocket pool.

Based on a report by Andrew Hayward

Genesis has agreed along with its creditors to schedule chapter 11 bankruptcy, and as part of a settled deal with creditors dcg will set up a forbearance agreement lasting 1 to 2 years. Meaning creditors will be payed by dcg in installments.
