Pre-Staked my IOTA bag for the ASMB & SMR airdrop. Hopefully hodling this POS the past 5 yrs will finally pay off (not holding my breath).

If anyone bought a .ust domain from tns before December 17, they just had an airdrop. Can claim it at tns.money. Worth a couple hundred bucks

My funds live on Polygon and BSC, and I buy on DEXs, except for when I can't.

Agreed on matic, but it's still a large cap with less room to run than other plays.

True, but it's a pretty damn good bet to keep running for a while. I think it'll pass up Avalanche and get close to LUNA, maybe pass it up. Long term I think it'll pass up all of the other L1s as they will capture value of their zkrollup tech with Matic token.

I’ve dabbled in crypto for the last year but mainly focused on stocks. After the is last dip in the market, I mad a few stock purchase that I wanted a certain price point on. Now that that’s done, I’ve become heavier in crypto the last few weeks.
Own highest concentrations of Wrapped Luna and Tezos. Also some Matic, Mana, and Iotc. Let’s roll.

yea until arbitrum comes to the conclusion that no one is using it largely because it doesn't have a token. they'll issue one eventually. so will other zks.

matics still a W though

FTR Arbitrum isn't a zkRollup it's an optimistic roll-up.. And it hasn't really taken off because gas is still pretty stupid on it since it's throttled (like $10-20 swaps).

IMO zkRollups are the future (especially Starknet, decentralizing execution of blocks) not optimistic.. so I think things like Loopring, IMX, zkSync are better long-term investments than whatever Arbitrum and Optimism will inevitably release. I play on those just to get an airdrop lol.

yea. I agree that stark will win eventually but just like the other zks and opt. still will have adoption issues from normies.
as long as plebs can buy Matic on Coinbase it'll stay the bigger deal.

keep in mind there's other chains doing sharding so I'll rotating once that narrative goes mainstream

Solunavax will still outperform most others as well

Yep, keep an eye on Tezos and Harmony One. I need to invest in those.

what makes it so good, do you like using it for defi?

Part is growth and adaptability as they've transitioned into NFT's and other projects flawlessly. I also like the defi and that they are currently pushing boundaries on what they can do. Trading at 1.50 right and I've believed for a long time (pimping since 0.05) that this is easily a $50+ coin long term.
They currently have one of the more powerful decentralized block chains available right now and from some of the podcast ive seen they continue to adapt and grow

seems like L2 is the big rage right now, especially on ETH due to the fricking outrageous gas fees

and the basically eliminated/fragmented roll out of ETH2 ...

What I am still studying/learning is whether all these technologies that are super interesting like MATIC that use/layer the ETH blockchain STILL makes ETH more and more valuable in the end as the main rails they are using to build the trains

Man I hope someone in there can either validate my thinking or help me learn WTF this all means as things evolve - I am fascinated by the next gen of blockchain. You got me boys, here to stay
