Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.
Gm friends,
I am back after a week’s absence.
What a time in the market. BTC is above 37k and last night we got the news that Blackrock is filing for an ETH spot ETF.
We have many alts making huge moves currently and the overall stablecoins marketcap has seen its first monthly increase since May 2022, suggesting new money is flowing in.
All of that pain you endured during the bear market was worth it.
Your weekly reading:
(*All the screenshots will take you to Twitter if you click.)
1. Why SOL is the faster horse
Chris has been bullish on SOL since it bottomed at $8 and makes the argument that it will continue to outpace ETH this cycle.
2. Bull Market Lessons
A lot of wisdom in here. A great read for everyone regardless of your crypto experience.
3. Playbook when you have <=$1000
Valuable insights for anyone starting with a small amount of capital.
4. Jupiter alpha
Jupiter is the leading DEX aggregator/one-stop DeFi shop on Solana. $JUP is coming soon, but here is a great breakdown of what Jupiter are releasing.
5. TAO explainer
TLDR on TAO.
Random protocol update
Illuvium will be hitting the Epic Games Store this month. It’s a AAA web3 game that I’ve been following for a long time.

What I think is going to happen on Solana.
Earn points by staking SOL on Jito
Jito now has a points program to reward their users.
JitoSOL is Solana's first MEV-boosted liquid staking token. Jito is currently offering 7.34% APR. You simply deposit SOL through their UI and receive JitoSOL in return, which you can use in Solana DeFi.
Jito has no token currently, so you would also make yourself eligible for that should they decide to do an airdrop.
And that’s your alpha.
