To make the biggest gains in crypto, you need to position yourself in the strongest narratives.

Some of the trends outlined in this thread still have potential to generate 50x opportunities.

🧵: 8 crypto narratives I'm eyeing right now. 👇

 These are the trends that I'm currently trading, or closely monitoring.

I believe all 8 of these narratives have potential to perform strongly.

This list in no particular order.
Remember: When it comes to narrative trading, you're identifying and betting on relative strength.

So although in some cases these projects can perform against broader market movement, most altcoins still adhere to general $BTC price action.
This means if there's a major #Bitcoin rally - the strongest narratives will tend to elicit the best gains.

And in many cases, will also be least affected by price dumps as there's enough demand-side pressure to mitigate sell-offs.

But treat each project on an individual basis.
1. ZK

Ahead of the zkSync and StarkNet token releases, in conjunction with the upcoming Polygon zkEVM launch - ZK-related protocols have been performing strongly.
It's undeniable that ZK is the future of scaling Ethereum.

ZK-rollups help alleviate congestion by 'rolling up' transactions into batches that are executed off-chain.

I did an in-depth thread on my favourite ZK projects a few weeks ago.

2. LSDs

Liquid staking derivatives allow you to earn yield on crypto assets like $ETH, whilst maximising capital efficiency.

This trend is currently being driven by 2 catalysts:

1. The upcoming Shanghai upgrade
2. The SEC's regulatory crackdown on centralised staking
As we approach the Shanghai upgrade, LSDs like $LDO, $FXS and $RPL are gaining momentum.

Shanghai will be a major driver of aggregate $ETH staking, as it will finally allow redemptions of staked ETH from the Beacon chain.
Also on the regulatory front, the SECs inclination to clamp down on centralised staking services (like Kraken) is, in my opinion, a huge catalyst for decentralised staking adoption.

Although I am wary of intervention on this front.

3. Perp DEXs

This has been one of the strongest performing sectors over the last 6 months.

$GMX led the way, followed by competitors such as $GNS, and now newer iterations are coming along, like $VELA.

But, I believe there are still opportunities in this space.
Long term, it's highly likely that other DEX models like AMMs and order-books start to play a more significant role in this space.

But at least in the short-medium term, oracle-based DEXs like $GMX have a distinct UX advantage.
One also can't understate the brand recognition these protocols have been able to generate.

The $GMX and $GNS brand identity will presumably enable them to pivot in the future if need be.

The go-to-market and onboard users quickly approach is something we've seen work well.
I'm always on the lookout for new DEXs, as I believe that this is the single biggest growth vertical in DeFi over the next few years.
4. Real Yield

There has been a monumental and much needed shift in the way DeFi yield models are perceived by both developers and investors.

Through the trials and tribulations of 2021-22, reliance on emissions has decreased in favour of tangible revenue distribution.
Whenever you approach a DeFi investment, ask yourself: Where is the yield coming from?

If the answer is "from protocol fees", then you're on the right path.

But be careful, some projects claim to be "Real Yield" despite employing shady mechanisms to manipulate data.
In many ways, Real Yield could be considered a research perquisite as opposed to a pure "narrative".

I wrote a thread on it last year, which includes more information and project picks.

Since then we've also seen many more quality DeFi projects pivot.

https://t.co/dysPJEAUU2
5. Decentralised stable coins

We've recently seen the SEC crackdown on BUSD, and there continues to be ambiguity surrounding the regulation of other centralised stables like USDC and USDT.

The need for a truly decentralised stablecoin is clear.
There are a few promising players in this space, from $AAVE and their upcoming GHO stable, to $CRV and CRVUSD, $FXS and more.

The protocol that nails the decentralised stablecoin model, and integrates it effectively - will be a big winner.
6. AI

After ChatGPT became the fastest application in history to hit a million users, prompt investments by the likes of Microsoft and Google were made into the AI sector.

This resulted in AI altcoins exploding, as speculation ran rampant.
But, the important thing to recognise here is that AI and crypto is EXTREMELY early, and much of the recent price action is being driven more by speculation than fundamentals.

@avichal explained this in an interview I did with him a couple weeks ago.

https://t.co/L35iBECDnA
This is an extremely news-based narrative. So despite frothiness, it becomes very difficult to short due to the propensity of news to have a short-term positive effect on prices.

https://t.co/XXNO48dp6f
The important thing to note is that strong trends tend to outperform during expansionary periods.

So if #Bitcoin exhibits bullish price action, it's hard to ignore an explosive narrative like AI.

This thread includes nice explanations of 16 AI projects.

https://t.co/7q6QDfHkth
7. GambleFi

The theory behind decentralised gambling is extremely similar to DEXs: People love to gamble, and need places to do so on-chain.

We haven't really seen many quality gambling projects launch yet, but I believe they're coming.
@LouisCooper_ has been doing a great job researching and providing updates on this sector.

https://t.co/MqvmcShfjl
8. Chinese Coins

The following factors have been recent contributors behind many of these coins pumping:

• Chinese monetary stimulus
• Hong Kong crypto legalisation
• Increased Asian open interest
There is a lot of alpha in the Asian Twitter community, and due to the language barrier a lot of it flies under the radar.

Here are some of the top creators to follow (make plenty use of the Twitter translate button).

https://t.co/jBPkQj1jVw
Here's a list of Chinese coins that I'm watching.

Note: This is purely from a trading perspective, and any entries/exits will align with technicals.

The fundamentals on many of these are dubious, and many don't fit my framework for long-term positions.

https://t.co/qHfVu22YXw
I didn't want to focus on EVERY narrative in this thread (as there are many), but if you're interested in learning about more - this is a great thread.

https://t.co/CrOUTmwRjH
I'll be posting updated threads on some of these narratives in the future, as well as covering new ones as I identify them.

कुंडली में 12 भाव होते हैं। कैसे ज्योतिष द्वारा रोग के आंकलन करते समय कुंडली के विभिन्न भावों से गणना करते हैं आज इस पर चर्चा करेंगे।
कुण्डली को कालपुरुष की संज्ञा देकर इसमें शरीर के अंगों को स्थापित कर उनसे रोग, रोगेश, रोग को बढ़ाने घटाने वाले ग्रह


रोग की स्थिति में उत्प्रेरक का कार्य करने वाले ग्रह, आयुर्वेदिक/ऐलोपैथी/होमियोपैथी में से कौन कारगर होगा इसका आँकलन, रक्त विकार, रक्त और आपरेशन की स्थिति, कौन सा आंतरिक या बाहरी अंग प्रभावित होगा इत्यादि गणना करने में कुंडली का प्रयोग किया जाता है।


मेडिकल ज्योतिष में आज के समय में Dr. K. S. Charak का नाम निर्विवाद रूप से प्रथम स्थान रखता है। उनकी लिखी कई पुस्तकें आज इस क्षेत्र में नए ज्योतिषों का मार्गदर्शन कर रही हैं।
प्रथम भाव -
इस भाव से हम व्यक्ति की रोगप्रतिरोधक क्षमता, सिर, मष्तिस्क का विचार करते हैं।


द्वितीय भाव-
दाहिना नेत्र, मुख, वाणी, नाक, गर्दन व गले के ऊपरी भाग का विचार होता है।
तृतीय भाव-
अस्थि, गला,कान, हाथ, कंधे व छाती के आंतरिक अंगों का शुरुआती भाग इत्यादि।

चतुर्थ भाव- छाती व इसके आंतरिक अंग, जातक की मानसिक स्थिति/प्रकृति, स्तन आदि की गणना की जाती है


पंचम भाव-
जातक की बुद्धि व उसकी तीव्रता,पीठ, पसलियां,पेट, हृदय की स्थिति आंकलन में प्रयोग होता है।

षष्ठ भाव-
रोग भाव कहा जाता है। कुंडली मे इसके तत्कालिक भाव स्वामी, कालपुरुष कुंडली के स्वामी, दृष्टि संबंध, रोगेश की स्थिति, रोगेश के नक्षत्र औऱ रोगेश व भाव की डिग्री इत्यादि।

NARHARI AND BHAGWAN PANDURANG/VITTHAL

Once a goldsmith by the name of Narhari lived in Pandharpur. He excelled in his craft. He had vowed not to look at Pandurang or visit his mandir ever, as he was a Shiva Bhakt.
One day, a wealthy merchant visited him.


He wanted a gold girdle studded with precious gems, to be made for Prabhu Vitthal. Narhari refused to make it as it was for Vitthal.
After many requests, he agreed to make the girdle but asked the merchant to bring the measurement from the mandir as he himself would not go there


The measurement was given n he made the girdle. When the girdle was put on Vitthal, it was loose. Narhari had to shorten it. Now the girdle became tight. So Narhari was forced to take measurement on his own. He had to go to the mandir but went blindfolded to avoid seeing Vitthal


In the Mandir, when blindfolded Narhari touched Vitthal, he felt as if he was touching Shiva with matted hair, the moon, snake in His neck and Trishul in His hand. Ecstatic with joy, he removed the blindfold to see Shiva but he found the murti of Vitthal with Rukmini there.


He realised the truth that there was no difference between Vitthal and Shiva. Narhari at once fell at the feet of Panduranga. He then took the measurement of the waist of Vitthal and this time the ornament fit the Murti perfectly.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has sold more than 40 million copies.

Don't have time to read it?
—No worries.

Here are the 7 key lessons you should apply:


Habit #1 — BE PROACTIVE

It all starts with action.

Rather than being "reactive" (externally influenced).
Focus on being "proactive" (initiative-taking).

This puts you in firm control of your life.


Habit #2 — BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

"No wind is favorable if one does not know to which port one is sailing."

I use this goal-setting system to stay on track myself:

Who do I want to be --> Monthly goal to achieve it? --> Daily action to reach that goal?

I update weekly.


Habit #3 — FIRST THINGS FIRST

Knowing the work that moves the needle is half the battle.

The Eisenhower Matrix can come in handy here:

Urgent + Important - Do it
Important + Not urgent - Schedule it
Urgent + Not important - Delegate it
Not urgent + Not important - Delete it


Habit #4 — THINK WIN-WIN

Always strive to find a mutually beneficial solution.

How to:
- Be as objective as possible
- Try to see from their perspective
- Determine what a "win" truly means for both parties
- Work to find the best solution for both parties

IMPORTANCE, ADVANTAGES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF BHAGWAT PURAN

It was Ved Vyas who edited the eighteen thousand shlokas of Bhagwat. This book destroys all your sins. It has twelve parts which are like kalpvraksh.

In the first skandh, the importance of Vedvyas


and characters of Pandavas are described by the dialogues between Suutji and Shaunakji. Then there is the story of Parikshit.
Next there is a Brahm Narad dialogue describing the avtaar of Bhagwan. Then the characteristics of Puraan are mentioned.

It also discusses the evolution of universe.( https://t.co/2aK1AZSC79 )

Next is the portrayal of Vidur and his dialogue with Maitreyji. Then there is a mention of Creation of universe by Brahma and the preachings of Sankhya by Kapil Muni.


In the next section we find the portrayal of Sati, Dhruv, Pruthu, and the story of ancient King, Bahirshi.
In the next section we find the character of King Priyavrat and his sons, different types of loks in this universe, and description of Narak. ( https://t.co/gmDTkLktKS )


In the sixth part we find the portrayal of Ajaamil ( https://t.co/LdVSSNspa2 ), Daksh and the birth of Marudgans( https://t.co/tecNidVckj )

In the seventh section we find the story of Prahlad and the description of Varnashram dharma. This section is based on karma vaasna.

What The Trans!?
What The Trans!?
@WhatTheTrans
A thread on how absurd the UK is on transgender issues and how the UK got so transphobic

In 2015 Parliament held an inquiry looking into the state of Transgender equality. Trans people of all stripes outlined many different problems across many, many different areas.

As a result Parliament created a list of recommendations including legal recognition for non binary people, gender recognition act reform, allowing 16 year olds to change their legal gender and reform of NHS gender identity services.

The government under Theresa May ignored everything that was recommended except for Gender recognition act reform. This act came into law in 2003 and gave trans men and women (but not non-binary people) the ability to legally change their gender on their birth certificates.

The process at that time to change your birth certificate under the GRA was to make an application to a panel of cisgender people who would decide if you were sufficiently trans based on your payslips, photo ID and bank statements. You would not get the option to speak to them.

(Also this process cost £140 which is just a tax on being trans)

1) The Temple of the Divine Claudius was a vast temple complex on Rome's Caelian Hill, overlooking the valley that would later be occupied by the Colosseum. Though almost nothing now remains of the structure, its scale and grandeur once rivalled anything in the city.. #LostRome


2) The 'Claudium' was intended as a sacred complex to revere Claudius and the imperial cult. Construction began soon after the death and deification of the emperor in 54 AD, initiated by his widow Agrippina who was likely responsible for his supposed death by poisoning. #LostRome


3) The sprawling temple complex sat on a gigantic podium that spread across the Caelian Hill, measuring 180 x 200 metres; with towering retaining walls of travertine that raised the structure 20 metres above the valley below. #LostRome


4) The elevated sacred area was likely entered by steps facing the temple on the west side. The temple itself had a projecting hexastyle porch and was surrounded by gardens and a grand portico, probably the 'porticus Claudia' mentioned in Martial's 'On the Spectacles'. #LostRome


5) Statues of both Agrippina and Claudius’ ill-fated young son Britannicus, sculpted in sumptuous dark Egyptian greywacke, were discovered among the ruins on the Caelian Hill in 1651 – and had almost certainly been displayed in the temple precinct. #LostRome
