5 Alpha Tweets - Ethereum Gas Guzzlers, The Greatest NFT Trade & More

Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.

It’s been an action packed week: The Ethereum Merge has an approximate date (15/16 September), Blackrock will be offering direct Bitcoin exposure to their clients, Tornado Cash has been sanctioned and a related dev has been arrested…

We’ve had a wave of green candles in recent weeks, which I’m sure has lifted the spirits of many. But more importantly, there is always alpha on the timeline.

This has probably been the worst trading quarter I have ever had in terms of lost gains (I haven't lost any money yet, but I have left life-changing amounts on the table). It's important that we reflect on our mistakes and make sure we understand the root causes ...

@alpha_pls tweet of the week

This week has seen a new attack on privacy. It is just the start of a long fight to ensure blockchains can offer the world the same financial privacy that the most privileged individuals currently enjoy.

Privacy is a basic human right. The richest people in the world have the means and resources to implement financial privacy via tax havens, shell companies etc. Blockchain based privacy solutions offers this to everyone. We have arrived at the "then they fight you" stage.
