Current Crypto Portfolio Update and Liquidity Mining Strategies

hello everyone um so in today's video I'll be sharing with you my current portfolio and the

new tokens that I bought in January 2023. a lot of time I keep getting asked you know what's your current portfolio

and what are the new projects and you know asking me whether I've invested in this project to that project and I try

and post like a periodical update of what my current portfolio is what are the tokens I'm holding so and also along

with that I'll also be sharing some tips about uni swap strategies and like you know how to do liquidity mining in

research because it's a little bit different from an ethereum perspective to do liquidity mining as compared to

some of the other blockchains so as usual disclaimer and warning I'm not a financial advisor or investment expert

none of what I say is actually a financial advice or investment advice I basically make these videos only to

share the information and the learnings that I've acquired over a period of time and you do your own decision take your

own decisions based on your own research again you know I'm going to use an Excel today uh because I'm going to be sharing

the list of tokens today so it's going to be a slightly different format so to start off with if you look at the tokens

that I am holding right now these are the current tokens that I'm holding but before we talk about the current tokens

I just wanted to take a step back and look at what we shared when we started the channel back in 2020 and 2021 so

like in 2020 a lot of emphasis I had spent initially explaining what is crypto but at the

same time I was asked you know what are the projects that I'm investing in I gave a rational and from episode 2 to

episode three you know from the initial episodes I've been sharing these list of tokens and these were the low prices at

that point after I had mentioned them the channel or you know why I have investing and I gave the explanation as

to why I'm investing it and these are low prices and from that price point you can actually go to coin stats look at

the price on that particular day and look at the peak price and it's all there in the charts and all of these

tokens I had many mentioned in those videos in those episodes that I'm giving in the right sunshine column so these

tokens many of these tokens as you can see you know almost did almost all of them data 10 x from the point that we

talked about these tokens or from the point that I said I'm I'm making an investment in these tokens a few of

these tokens like you know wrxjrt for example went up by like you know nearly 80 times 90 times for example and many

of these tokens also went up like 20 times as well so um these are some of the examples as to

you know if you find the right project and with conviction if you wait on that project knowing that there is a strong

development team and knowing that there is a strong use case for that project in blockchain in crypto you can do similar

to what you can you know stock market that's what I had been explaining from the beginning of my videos and that's

what I wanted to share in today's video just just to reiterate the point that if you stick to convection and if you stick

to Basics in terms of choosing a project choosing the right team behind the project and understanding the crypto

that you are investing in then you can definitely make those kind of profits when the market return back into a bull

market so this all of this content we were sharing even before the 2020 bull market started but rightly so if you

look at the dates ah most of the peak dates were achieved in 2021 and the last 18 months from the mid of almost mid of

2021 to the end of 2022 in the last 18 months if you look at it a lot of these cryptos have been going on a decline but

even then many of these cryptos like you know for example BTR GRT link cro you know the price of atom for example when

we talked about it was about four dollars back in 2020. even today it is about thirteen dollars even though it

had gone up to 42 dollars it had gone up and it had come down drastically from that point it is still higher than the

point that we had originally talked about it in our videos except a few tokens like you know inj and so on which

are actually uh lower than the point that we had originally talked about it two two and a half years back

now some tokens haven't done necessarily that well so for the tokens below these are tokens that I have mentioned a few

times I have sold off completely but the tokens in the top the you know the top 10 tokens that I am talking about all of

those tokens are still in my portfolio even after two and a half years so my expectation is that the whenever the

mark begins to go on a bull run next time these projects have built even stronger use case x with the exception

of a few which we will talk about now which are practically these three tokens like copycat MF and zap these are tokens

that I'm keep getting a lot of questions they haven't done necessarily that well and if you look at the comparison

between the current price and their all-time high price from the point of their all-time high price they have

fallen nearly about 99 and you know very rarely a project can kick off from the point where it has fallen 99 from his

all-time height there are several reasons behind did copycat obviously is because there's a slow development team

they haven't necessarily followed up on some of their promises MMF we've talked quite a lot about it there's a lot of

bad decisions from the team hopefully the decisions that they've taken now will help them improve zap is again

another question that I keep consistently getting asked it was a great project it was it had great ideas

and it had a very strong development team initially when we were talking about it back in 2020 but in the last

one year or in the last 18 months the development team is completely non-existent the management team has

been absolutely incompetent and they are non-existent literally so that is where the project has slid down to this value

right now and if you ask me these are not the choices at this point these are not tokens that I would ask a new

investor to invest in although all of these three tokens I am holding the tokens right now I haven't sold it off

as a new investor if I am going to invest in these tokens these will not be in the top of my recommendations there

are only three projects in the entirety of what we've spoken about which I had to sell at a complete loss one is thorus

ago agoro token and World Finance they were not drug pools I mean one thing that will try and be very careful about

in our uh in in all the research that we do is to make sure that we don't have any tokens which are being Rock pulled

but these projects were at a point in time abandoned by the development team because you know they did not have the

will to move forward or you know they didn't want to move forward for various reasons as a result at that point they

had given notice to the custom ways that sell off all your tokens because we're going to close the project and we had to

sell those tokens there was no other opportunity no other option available for those tokens those are three tokens

where from the point that we bought those tokens it never actually went above the prices or it never had

actually achieved a profit from the point that we actually bought the tokens even copy Academy Memphis app from the

price point that we had bought it had at least you know gave given like a two hundred percent three hundred percent

profit at some points in time like for example copycat went from 0.22 to about 0.46 at one point and but it had a rapid

decline after that point when it was selected for binance labs accelerator for example but Taurus ago and Vex did

not have a run at all and these are like out of the you know uh 40 or 50 projects that we would have talked about in the

channel these are three or four projects which did not have any profit at all so while we are talking about you know good

projects that we have selected or good projects that we've talked about there is always going to be a bit of these

kind of projects where you know uh from a probability perspective there will always be a few projects which will not

give you the same return so there is absolutely no guarantee that after having done all the research if we are

still picking up some of the tokens it is going to give the same kind of results as the past performance there

will be some tokens like this which is why the volatility of crypto needs to be understood clearly and you know that

investing in crypto comes with a bit of risk and also the fact that why we need to diversify our portfolio because you

know only when you diversify you make sure that you don't keep all your eggs in a basket like zap or an MMF for

example where everything goes bust so that is very important why I keep a very diverse portfolio and one of the reasons

why I have these many number of tokens that I invested so again I usually rank these tokens in

terms of you know how much dollar value I have but I decided this time as a new investor uh what I would be most

interested in seeing is my confidence level as in my confidence level as an investor so from if I was a new investor

these are the tokens that I am most confident and I have a high confidence on the first two columns so render seek

and cro are my most confident tokens and the reason is render is obviously uh you know it's making strides in terms of the

GPU rendering power that it is it is decentralized and a lot of good projects even Hollywood level projects are using

render otai as the rendering engine and they are effectively monetizing the service

at the moment and they probably have very less competition at the moment render as a project for example seek

again from a VR perspective they have done enormous work in terms of the VR capabilities at the have brought in and

with more advancements in the VR headsets and VR engines you know VR is probably going to become the next step

in terms of the entertainment from what we have seen so far so I believe that's also having a great potential cro again

we've talked about a lot in our uh platform so and these tokens say BNB ethereum and BTC they are like I'm now

considering them as a hedge token hedge token since I'm almost putting them in in line with like stable coins because

they are now a store of value they are not going to like suddenly lose like 80 90 percent of the value you know uh

because their use case is primarily right now seen as a platform and store of value so I would probably when I'm

when I'm providing liquidity I know I would want this to be one of my paths because in case one of the pass is

actually going up or going down my impermanent loss I'm happy to have more of these tokens and we will see this in

the Unisom example that we're going to talk about and and again from a high confidence effective ingjective is doing

enormous strides in the cosmos ecosystem it's probably been one of the tokens we've been speaking about quite a lot in

our channel from an injector perspective the Perpetual sex change that they've built is actually attracting a lot of

attention right now and in fact recently after I published a Tamil version of it there was a 150 million dollar

acceleration fund also chain linking spoken about enough ship we've spoken about enough GRT again we've spoken

about enough graph token atom is is going to probably get more value when the the internet of blockchain's concept

and the cosmos the cosmos 2.0 when it is being built I think atoms going to gradually get more and more value when

the cosmos chains are themselves getting more value flr I think you know recently published

a video about a separate episode about the flower token so these are my main tokens again from medium perspective BTR

we've spoken about MMF and copycat even though MMF is a medium and copycat is a lows again like I said it's not the

tokens that I would recommend as a top investment from a for a new investor so WRX Matic uh cake everything is still

there as my medium token the reason I'm holding Matic uh separately as medium tokens is because my strategy is to try

and see if I can get a passive income out of it Matic is probably one of the tokens where I'm getting the least

options are least trustable D5 options in The Matrix in the polygon ecospace that's why I'm keeping it everything

almost in melp which is like an index token which also has Matic I don't hold Matic separately as a token Avalanche

evex and some of the new tokens and we right now we need to talk about the new tokens so

um a tenafi is a new Exchange in in BNB it's a bit risky at the moment because it had a great

it had a great start to the the liquidity but then obviously it is because it attracted by giving a higher

API percentage and as we know as the API percentage decreases that's when the true test of a defenderless exchange

comes into picture so we need to wait and watch you know how much stainify is able to sustain the liquidity pressure

once the price starts to decline from the the token perspective wombat exchange and Magpie are particularly

related to each other this is a stable connection so we probably need a separate dedicated episode about the

ombat exchange and the MGP and Cosmos uh positions I know I've marked a few other tokens in blue because actually inj8

atom and cro are also on the cosmos ecosystem but I haven't explored outside of these through these three tokens I

hadn't explored the other Cosmos exchanges uh primarily because of Luna I would say you know uh explained in the

episode that I have posted about Luna the the stable coin USD was one of my biggest concerns that I I was expecting

that it was going to fall and I did not have the I didn't want to take the risk in investing in some of these exchanges

or some of the other Cosmos ecosystems because everything was heavily reliant on USD at that point and I didn't have

confidence on USD as a stable coin and we had talked about it even during the lunar episode so right now they have I

think come out effectively from the debacle of Luna and the USD and I think that this is probably the right time to

start investing in the cosmos ecosystem especially osmo uh Juno and Akash Network which is a decentralized

equivalent to like AWS for example secret sert and have taken also small positions in uh you know one strd is a

liquids taking protocol in Cosmos and um I'm taking small steps into some of the other decentralized protocols like

arbitrim with Harmony and there are a few tokens that I'm actually exploring but I haven't taken a position yet uh

change Finance chng um Hoppers Astro astroport is basically coming to in inj uh enough in a few

months it's an amm engine that's coming to objective so there are a few tokens that I'm exploring which I haven't taken

uh position yet and these are the blockchains and the blockchain platforms that I'm currently using because most of

my trades or most of my positions are in decentralized exchanges right now I am practically not touching any of these

interest exchanges so from a Chronos perspective CRS board candy mmfmf we talked about CRS web and board candy

I'll give you a brief demo at the end of this video minted is a nft platform ebuses based and ft platform Argo

Finance is a liquid statement protocol VVS Finance so I said I had moved everything away from previous Finance

I'll give you an explanation as to why still continue to use UVS Flash and weird apps Club is another nft based

project BNB chain we've talked about it pancake swap ape swap the NFI we just spoke about it the the third token

basically remember texting and Magpie ethereum uni swap again I'll give you a demo of you know how effectively we can

use uni Swap and how uni swap is slightly different as compared to the other decentralization just where it

does not need to incentivize the liquidity mining separately using a farming techniques its a little

different and you need a lot of patience for uh uni swap so Avalanche Pangolin and Trader Joe flare exchange again I

gave a demo of Pangolin in the in my last video Cosmos we just spoke about it so Cosmos Hub is where I had originally

maintained for just the staking purposes and injectors taking but right now I am expanding to the osmosis Zone uh some of

the Juno platforms that have recently been introduced Helios which is a decentralized perpetuals engine stride

which is a liquids taking protocol Astro Port which is the amm but it's right now in a test net for injective at this

point pancakespap is the only thing that I am currently using in Aptos but I'm also expecting the SRI shrine.io I've

taken a an nft position with Street trainer.io which is again a platform a partner platform of e-bus is big

metabol.trade is the only platform that I'm using in polygon right now practically most of the polygon

platforms decentralized exchanges are unreliable at the moment that polygon I would say from a amm perspective not

from a spa perspective but from an amm or a liquidity mining perspective most of them are unreliable arbitrum again

it's to be decided there's two early stages I would say Hamachi is probably one thing that I've just stepped into

optimism again there were extreme number of rock pools in optimism to start with and in all of these decentralized

Platforms in all of these blockchains you know almost 50 percent of the projects that are started are actually

rockable so we have to be extremely careful in terms of our analysis in terms of the time and effort that we

need to spend in choosing the right platforms that's why I try and restrict my decentralized changes all the

platforms that I ah stick to and these are some of the tokens that I had mentioned in my last video not

necessarily I had lost confidence in all of them like for example audio and scale I still have a lot of confidence but

it's just that I had to take an exit from those positions to build positions in the new tokens that I've invested in

again my strategy that I've been explaining from my previous episodes I'll just reiterate 90 of my crypto is

currently in decent exchanges and the reason I've been explaining it from episode 24 if you do not understand

certain portions of the decentralized concepts you need to look at episode 24 which is where I've explained the reason

the rational why I started moving into decentralization which is and most of these tokens are earning a passive

crypto almost every single day and that is one of the reasons I moved to the decentralization again from a liquidity

pool perspective I try and keep as much as possible in safer pools like btccro links Yahoo injective ethereum seek B

and B because either ways I am happy with the impermanent loss you know if everything becomes if if I get more BTC

or more cro or if I get more link or more injector or more ethereum either ways these are tokens in my top

portfolio so I'm happy with this so I stick to safer liquidity pools where I am happy with the outcome that I get

more more of either side of the tokens from an impermanent loss perspective that's how I get the impermanent loss to

work in my favor when the price action is actually making one token go higher and the other token go lower

and I convert this passive income whatever I get out of this this taking from an incentivized taking perspective

convert it into passive income and I change it to stablecoin as usdc which I've said many times in the past and

this liquidity helps me reinvest during the crashes and helps me do a dollar cost average where I can reduce the

overall average cost of my tokens so now ah again you know try and reinvest only poor part of your profits

and try and take the investment out because you know you need to actually whole point of investment is to try and

take profits out so realizing profits is very very key sorry from a liquidity mining perspective there are two key

points that I want to talk about one is um you know most of the exchanges most of the decentralized amms they have to

incentivize the liquidity mining using a firm for you to be profitable but however uni swap is slightly different

uni swap is liquidity is mining is based on volume and we can better understand if you look at an example of my render

ethereum portfolio or render ethereum form that I have done so uh in uniswap I had taken a position of render ethereum

ah provided liquidity for render and ethereum this is you know way back in December that I had started the

liquidity Mining and as you can see the initial days my my liquidity mining fees that I I can collect is about 25 to 30

dollars about 28 dollars on this particular day so if I am trying to collect this like a normal liquidity

mining in the other blockchains the gas piece itself is around 12 13 dollars which means collecting a twenty thirty

dollar liquidity mining fees and then trying to reinvest it is not an effective technique you know from a

liquidity mining perspective in ethereum so um again you know if you want to

actually add more tokens like we can add in in the other blockchains if I'm trying to add like you know 150 dollars

worth of tokens um into the liquidity mine to increase my position of my liquidity even then the gas piece is

about you know seven or eight dollars so just for the swapping the gas piece is seven or eight dollars and as you can

see if I say OK here and try and go back and and add the liquidity again I'm going to pay another gas fee so in you

know if you compare this in BNB chain or Chronos you know you would be paying fees like you know 10 cents 20 cents

um or you know maximum you would pay in Phase about you know 30 cents or 40 cents in the other tokens other

blockchains but here if I try and increase the liquidity now um and if I just select my all my render

and then I have enough of ethereum token when I click on preview it is going to tell me that I don't have enough gas

fees for ethereum even though I have about you know ten dollars left and the reason for it is the gas piece is about

14 so to try and add hundred and fifty dollars worth of tokens into the liquidity pool my gas fees is about 14

this is on the 9th of December for example so I I cannot add the tokens at this point so I'm waiting for another

couple of days and I'm trying to see the volume total volume of ethereum transactions when it is actually low the

congestion will be low when the congestion is low the gas piece will also be low so a couple of days later I

am trying the exact same transaction trying to add about 150 dollars worth of liquidity and now the gas piece is about

585 so literally about you know 70 percent cheaper as compared to the gas piece couple of days back so it is very

important to try and reduce your gas fees when you are operating in like you know hundred dollars two hundred dollars

if you have like ten thousand dollars if you are Avail then it makes no difference for you for these small

amounts but when we are only working with like hundred dollars or two hundred dollars like you know retail investors

like us it is very important to um minimize the gas piece now I'm in January a month later almost more than a

month later and as you can see it has just gradually increased from about twenty eight dollars to 245 dollars so

even without uh enhanced incentives the normal liquidity mining fees um collected is about you know 10

percent of what we had originally invested and slightly it is now balanced towards ethereum I got more ethereum and

I've got less renter but that is okay because I know it keeps going back and forth between render and ethereum over a

period of time so at this point the render's price is going up as a result the renders liquidity is down and

ethereum's liquidity is more so a couple of days later on 21st of January after almost a month more than a month it has

gone from 28 dollars to about 240 but within two days because the volume has been significantly higher my uh total

fees has now gone up to almost 300 so in within a couple of days my incentive has gone by sixty dollars so that is again

the power of waiting and making sure that you are not collecting the fees on a daily basis because which is not

productive where the gas base is really high so VVS Finance again I had explained in previous videos that I

moved all my liquidity but I am still using VBS Finance for the iGo primarily so on 17th of January for example ah

they introduced the iGo for Vino Finance which is again another liquid stating protocol like cargo finance and the

price point at which the vno tokens were introduced were really good it's about 0.04 dollars and I participated in this

iGo and my total allocation was about 1250 which is roughly about fifty dollars and immediately I was able to

withdraw about 625 VMO tokens and the remaining 625 are vested over a period of time now in the Vino Finance vno

Finance token price is about 25 cents which is nearly six times the price from the launch price and from my fifty

dollar investment by immediately selling the 625 tokens I get about 164 dollars which is a price profit of 114 dollars

so that's how the iGo works for VBS Finance so we'll finish off with the quick demo of two Chronos amm Decks that

I'm using which is CRS web and board candy in crs5 the primary Supply that I'm giving is WBC wbtc uh cro Bitcoin

cro and once every couple of days I get about 30 to 40 dollars worth of tokens that I can Harvest or passive income

that I can Harvest and what I can do is I can actually uh you know go to the stake option and I can Harvest it very

easily and the feast like I said with Chronos is compared to uniswap it is so much cheaper like other blocks like

other L1 and L2 blockchains that have come up after ethereum and I can easily harvest my rewards and I can convert my

cros to usdc or any other stable coin by just paying like you know 20 to 30 cents worth of total fees and it's it takes

about less than two minutes when you want to harvest it and finally uh the candy city which is the board candy

project which is from the board candy project I'm providing liquidity for cro link ideally this cr1 link would have

just reminded idle in my portfolio but by providing a liquidity I am getting about four to five dollars which is

still you know decent returns about 30 percent APR returns which is decent return for a token that I would have

anyway held as part of my portfolio so again hopefully this video was useful to you and the strategies were helpful for

you thank you
