Either Ultra Instinct is actually better than Super Saiyan, or Toriyama-san ran out of colors for the next Super Saiyan's hair.
Intro (there is decent crypto stuff here too)
I haven't written a post in a while because I've only used cannabis alone one time before in this whole year, and I'd be kidding myself by thinking being 'sober' makes me a better person. On the contrary, cannabis makes you a whole lot less angry at stuff, or sad if that's the kind of person you are. I haven't used 'real' cannabis in a really, really long time since delta-8 and the other synthetic cannabinoids are everywhere and really cheap (at least compared to genuine, delta-9-rich cannabis). I recently saw a video exposing the synthetic cannabinoid industry for the horrible thing it can be here:
And I can attest to that because I had a 3-month stint as one of the three main chemical engineers at a start-up company that was trying to extract CBD oil from hemp. It only lasted three months because it was during the heart of COVID, and we couldn't get the supplies we needed to actually start the process, so they couldn't afford to pay me my sheety $15/hour salary anymore. In fact, the CEO and higher-ups were literally considering selling asbestos-laced hemp salvaged from a building accident in pre-rolled joints to generate their profits. Needless to say, I don't feel too bad having been let go from that operation.
But that isn't the purpose of this post. The real purpose of this post is to get as many of my referral codes out to you guys as possible while I entertain your hunger for crypto knowledge..
By getting that out of the way, you know my motives and I know yours. Let us work together in our efforts to accumulate more bitcoin and other crypto.
Sometimes I feel selfish charging people $40 for an hour of my time, but the funny thing is that most people don't, and they might even charge more. It's not selfish to earn money. Or is it? Life is expensive for everyone, especially if they have children.
Before I show you what I have been farming/playing lately, it has been four years since I watched the movie Over the Moon with my family and first posted this video to publish0x because I thought it sounded like the Bitcoin anthem. Wouldn't you know it, 4 years is about the length of a Bitcoin cycle. 😁
Chang'e (嫦娥) reminds me of Katy Perry, but probably more selfish. Maybe, I don't know.
Crypto Greek Letter
Solana
Even Vitalik knows that Solana is the spiritual successor to Ethereum, but institutional wealth is just discovering this now. Solana is not the best blockchain, but it is really fast, really low-cost, and used extensively by crypto big-bois. Here are my favorite protocols on Solana:
Sanctum
Sanctum is a liquid staking protocol, where selected validators have special interest-bearing tokens called LSTs that you can obtain either by exchanging Sol directly, or by 'liquid unstaking' (i.e. transferring ownership of) the staking accounts that you (hopefully) already have. The idea is that while your assets yield as much or more than staking, you also train a virtual, disgustingly cute blob with many colorful skins. And they have evolutions that I can only logically see being some sort of really cool future NFT-FT hybrid blob airdrop. Use my referral link to start using it and I get cupcakes while you (effortlessly) train your blob (i.e., own the LST that represents a specific validator's stakepool). The main token is called INF and represents an allocation of Sol to all or most of the stakepools that participate in the protocol. Notice that the value has appreciated significantly above 1 Sol in its short, less-than-one-year life, which is of course not a guarantee of future performance, but a pretty good measure of performance nonetheless.

Meteora
Meteora is a really cool protocol that allows you to get the most of tighter liquidity positions. I really like the DLMM because you can get a whole percentage point in a day of fees depending on what pools you stick your tokens in thanks to Jupiter's swap routing. Of course, if you don't monitor your liquidity closely, then you end up DCAing into the token that drops the most, so just keep that in mind. Setting liquidity bounds is like taking an impermanent stop loss, which is a nice feature of many liquidity pools in this cycle, whether the price goes up or down. The safest bet is to use a pool with a high bin number because that increases the price range that a pool remains in two assets, thus accruing swap volume when the right amount of those assets are swapped at a given time. Besides, as long as your assets are in a pool, and especially if that pool is actively accruing fees, you are mining a future airdrop.
DRiP
If you like collecting NFTs for free (and actually being able to sell those NFTs for a few cents each or more if you want), you will appreciate drip.haus. They have recently begun tightening the supply of drips, which may increase the scarcity of some NFT artwork on the platform. Drips are free, non-SPL tokens that you can award to artists and exchange for SLP-token NFTs. If you aren't familiar with the Solana network, when you list an NFT, you are charged an account-creation fee that is returned to you when the sale account is destroyed (i.e., the sell transaction executes). The sell order information is stored in the intermediate account, which costs a 'rent fee' to exist for a given amount of time, similar (but much not the same) to how RAM works on the WAX(P) blockchain. In any case, you can get some free NFTs, so check it out. You can farm a potential Magic Eden airdrop too if you list the NFTs you get on ME, but they are probably more likely to sell if you list them on drip.
Grass
Just in case you're not using it yet (or maybe last time you came across it you had decided that it violated what you felt comfortable running on your computer), there is this app called Grass that you can install in your browser and get 'points' towards a future airdrop by allocating some of your excess bandwidth to data-scraping AI protocols. It's pretty cool and I haven't had any bad experiences with it. In fact, I rarely think about the fact that it is running (which could be dangerous so do make sure you trust it). Again, if you're not using it and you want to earn [future airdrops lol I hope at least half of these aren't scams] passively, check it out and use my referral link when/if you decide it's okay.
Jupiter
This is the safe altcoin on Solana because its protocol is embedded in the future of some of the best DeFi in web3. Join the DAO to help shape the future of Solana DeFi and, what do you know, you might get a decent airdrop sometime next year.
Honeyland
Honeyland is a mobile game on Solana that is essentially a very well done send-NFTs-to-land-where-they-mine-for-a-period-of-time crypto miner game and has a completely free-to-play path to obtaining HXD, the SPL-cryptocurrency that is used to buy and sell NFTs in the in-game market. There are plans to make it centered moreso around PvP combat, so accumulate HXD while you don't have to defeat long-time players to get it. Obviously, if you don't pay for it, your income will be very slow, but steadily increasing daily. There is an airdrop going on that you still have about five days to start mining if you haven't yet, and the game is pretty good regardless if you're just looking for another cool daily game to play. You don't have to watch ANY advertisements in this game to earn, which is a huge green flag.
I still can't believe how excited a game with no advertisements makes me today.
Ad break lol
Speaking of games, it's not on Solana (or even web2-enabled at the moment for that matter), but I have been in school brushing up on my computer science this past semester and I made this game that you can play/buy if you want to support my computer science journey:
https://cmasta.itch.io/adventure-runner
Hopefully I will upload demo version 1.0 sometime before the beginning of June (we're currently at v.demo-0.9), but it is completely playable now. I am just procrastinating from doing that right now I suppose. The price will increase to at least $1 when I complete and upload version 1, but you can get it for free at the moment if you have a Windows machine.
BlockDAG
BlockDAG is a DAG blockchain that gathered traction quickly and promises huge gains the sooner you invest. The development is active, but they are still in the presale phase so of course they are promising huge gains (very loudly). Yes, that is exactly how a ponzi scheme works, but it brought me back flashbacks of ignoring Solana at the beginning of the last cycle and I don't really use BNB anymore, so I used some of what remains of my post-wallet drain BNB to buy some shares. Nano, Banano, and Dogenano all make use of a Directed Acyclic Graph chain of blocks, and they process transactions nearly instantly for free, but they still require work generation to counter network attacks and spam. BlockDAG has sold a lot of remote miners that would be used to generate the work for their blockchain, so that is a good sign. Their marketing is great, and we'll soon see the actual product that they are promising.
Ahahaha I just went to grab my referral link and this is on their dashboard now, which is extremely cheesy, but they do have a lot of support already and a solid framework for a blockchain. A return like that wouldn't be bad for 0.175 BNB. Please use my referral link if you decide to buy some:
https://purchase2.blockdag.network/?ref=z9up1pea.
Speaking of DAG...
Banano
is my favorite cryptocurrency in existence, but it kind of deserves an entire post to itself so that is all that I will say about it now. If you like earning crypto and wholesomeness, you should definitely visit banano.cc, though. I tried to make a hyperlink for you, but it kept linking to publish0x/newPost so maybe the internet is trying to tell me something? Whatever, you can type banano.cc into the url bar.
Lightning Bitcoin
I am using several apps to earn Lightning or otherwise wrapped Bitcoin, which is very significantly more economical to use than real bitcoin and is already somewhat widely-adopted as payment. My new favorite earning app since the last time I made a shameless post, which was for the Ember app that I still use to mine polygon wBTC, is definitely ZBD. You can find out more about Ember in my previous post, but ZBD is partly ingrained in the Lightning Network and functions as a widely-used Lightning wallet connected to a Nostr account. In addition to being these invaluable tools already,
ZBD
is a really reliable and profitable earning platform. Affiliated games give the highest consistent sat-to-advertisement view ratio that I have thus encountered on the internet, and I have yet to not be rewarded for completing a task. In fact, a selection of games affiliated directly with ZBD award Lightning sats withdrawable to any Lightning wallet. One game that I am very fond of now (but that only withdraws to ZBD, which is fine with me) is called
Everseed
Everseed is a cartoony nature-style tower defense game. You can earn upwards of $0.25 just for playing one Everseed game every day, which takes about 5-10 minutes. The higher your score is on the leaderboard, the more you earn. My average is around 40-45 cents/day, but I have earned up to 82 cents. Not bad at all for one enjoyable round of tower defense. The team has been working on the game for a long time. NFTs have been minted on Solana and it only just recently entered its open beta phase. My referral link is here :)
Hah, I am rereading that ZBD paragraph and it is really funny that I am getting excited about the sat-to-advertisement view ratio but you know I'm not making this up if you know. In any case, I did not stage this screenshot below, so you automatically owe me a bitcoin:
You can send it to my managed Lightning address: [email protected]. I don't mind that it is managed for me because I view the private keys as being just as secure as they would be if I had generated them myself. Obviously I might not treat my entire life savings this way, but it works very well. Besides, I can withdraw at any time to a different lightning wallet (including Cashapp if that is your thing).
Rollercoin
I started playing Rollercoin a while ago, but then stopped after a short time because I had determined it would take me too long to cash out. At that point, the only way to obtain RLT was to buy it with crypto, which would have been anti-economical. This year, I came back to it and started earning RLT, which is the internal currency, by taking surveys, viewing advertisements, and playing a lot of sponsored games that seemed the goal of them was to... uhh... watch advertisements. Whether it was worth the time I have invested or not is another question, but I mine about 1.5 matic per day passively now with Rollercoin, which makes for a nice little growing bag, and is a more constructive habit than watching TV. The Javascript games that you have to play to keep up with your free miner collection progress are short, fun, and challenging as you move up in difficulty. There is also an internal peer-to-peer marketplace for miners, racks, batteries, and miner upgrade parts, which adds a really cool and nuanced dynamic to the game that even an old-school Runescape player can appreciate.
I suspect the graph going to zero for a whole day is a bug due to a whale turning on their mining PC and then letting it turn off, since my mining rate went down significantly after a certain day, but I don't believe it actually dropped to zero. You can choose which currency to mine. I like Matic and Solana (if you couldn't tell before), so I would mine one or both of those two (yes, you can also split your mining power as a percentage), however the bitcoin withdrawals were free last I checked (as long as you have enough to withdraw), and you would get 1000 sats for free if you used my referral link. 😁
Outro
I also like Algorand, Cosmos, and WAX a lot in terms of other networks I use but haven't mentioned that also have a bright future, but I am doing a lot of off-chain stuff now, too, and I can't fit everything into this composition. Even so, if you are unfamiliar with those and you like crypto, then get yourself acquainted with them.
Also I really don't want to spread any more negativity than I already do sometimes when I get frustrated with life, but I can't end this without mentioning how much I hate the term "crypto alpha". Shut up.
Anyway, that's enough for now. It's time for me to crash. Best of luck in all of your endeavors and I love u ✌️💚🎵
