Beginning of the month,

  • I bought 38645 EMRLD as a small bet.
  • I removed the funds from the pxETH/stETH from Convex Finance and moved the funds and some reinvested tokens into the pxETH/ETH liquidity pool on PancakeSwap Finance on Ethereum for around 65% APY.
  • I moved my tBTC/WBTC plus the interest from Optimism back to Ethereum in Aura Finance on Ethereum for around 12% APY.

Middle of the month,

  • I spent my first $27 of crypto using my GnosisPay debit card.
