Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.
Gm friends,
We are expecting the approval of the BTC Spot ETF any day now. It should be a very volatile few days post approval. No one really knows what will happen.
But, if you zoom out, things are looking very bullish in 2024. Macro tailwinds, Bitcoin Halvening, flows from the spot ETF, prices going up improving the underlying tech (lol) and retail returning.
Looking forward to riding the bull with you all.

4. How to approach JUP
It’s Jupuary. Right now, the JUP airdrop is being slated for the fourth week in January. It’s worth thinking about your strategy if you have qualified for the drop.
5. Modular math on DYM
DYM is the other big airdrop which should be happening in the next couple of months. Here are some strategic thoughts from Andy.
Random protocol update
Orbit chains (Arbitrum L3s) can now use their own token as the gas token for the chain. Worth exploring existing orbit chains, some are quite small in marketcap right now. That may be alpha…
Airdrop opportunity
Parcl is a very unique app built on Solana that allows you to trade city real estate. It is one of the more unique examples of a DeFi app making a previously illiquid asset tradeable. I think this could be one of the more overlooked airdrop opportunities.
They are running their points campaign right now, you can earn points by simply depositing USDC as liquidity, and/or doing some trades.

Start earning $GRASS before the network launches
Grass is a very interesting project, which will be launching on Solana. It’s probably the easiest airdrop going.
Grass sells unused internet bandwidth to companies who need it to view the web. Until now, other people have sold this bandwidth without compensating you. Early users will earn the GRASS token.
It takes two minutes to set up the chrome extension and it runs in the background. Grass is in invite only beta, but you can click my referral link below to get going.
I also wrote a thread about it here, if you want to know more.
And that’s your alpha.
