Another mention of the list, another bombing distraction, another week with a dip and no sign of this ending.

*sigh*

I was watching Copy Trading this week because it was going really well. The traders were making nice profits, things were steady, I was starting to think it worked... and then there was that dip.

One of them bankrupted, the other two survived with losses.

And I remembered to stop hoping that they have talent. 🤪

Anyway, here are this week's numbers:

I'm very confused by the Trading total. That's suddenly jumped about $500 and I honestly don't know where it's come from. All the other numbers are steady, so I think maybe I screwed up last week's Banking and Trading calculations.

I moved everything just before that Sunday post, because of MiCA's possible impact on CoinEx, so maybe I miscalculated. Originally, I wanted to separate things in sub-accounts, but MEXC doesn't apply their "Hold and Earn" interest on subs, so that was bollocksed from the start. It gets confusing when the ETH I'm holding in Trading is in the same total as the ETH in Banking, especially when the Trading part is earning hold interest while the Banking part is earning VIP interest. And they don't tell you anywhere how much it earned at any time.

I'm going to have to look at those calculations again, aren't I? 💩

In detail:

• Trading up 23.06% (hmmm)
• Copy Trading down 36.62% (one bankruptcy)
• Banking down 6.41%
• Overall down 1.29%

Once again, in a week where BTC and ETH both lost more than 4%, that's a good overall number. Especially when you take another Copy Trading death-drop reminder into account! I am a happy bunny.

The tracking's looking weird, too. Because of that Trading bump, it's all gone green up there, with the dual investment part slipping into the red - not least because I moved those funds off CoinEx for safety, at least until I see what happens there with MiCA. That ETH actually gets better interest at MEXC for the moment, but it's nowhere near enough to counter a bad week. And it's making my head hurt from the calculations.

I think I'm gonna have to do a new Excel sheet for the MiCA version of where everything is. 😲

'26 Picks

The Picks are languishing. Badly.

Most of them dropped another ~5% this week, putting most of them down at the "buy now, half price" mark. Or lower.

That's great if you're looking for bargains, not so great if you bought them in January.

Which is an interesting thought: all those "best cryptos for 2026" predictions are done at the appropriate time, at the start of the year, but that's definitely not the best time to buy those cryptos! I'll have to remember that for 2027.

How was your week? Have you secured your crypto, ready for the 1 July MiCA deadline?
