How big is crypto? Being awfully new to the field of crypto, I can't help and wonder how big crypto is (I mean, there just seems like there's so many whales swimming about) as compared to the traditional financial world (tradfi). In case you are wondering, in this ocean analogy, I'm about the size of a nanoplankton. So I went digging the internet, and to my dismay, there isn't a straight-forward answer in our current data-driven world. Yes, I found some great stock market…
Did I just use up all my gas tokens? (Polygon) If you're on Polygon, and found yourself out of MATIC... You're not alone (at least, there's me!) In the name of exploration and experimentation, I depleted my own supply of MATIC by depositing it all onto a platform much to my horror. It dawned on me after that I couldn't do *anything* next. In a less extreme case, you could end up with too small an amount to carry out another transaction. ****2 ways to be revived**** **1.…

Balancer on Polygon, simple 17% yield on stablecoins! Polygon - everyone's favourite low-fee layer, coupled that with a stablecoin yield of 17% and we got a winner. **What's the difference of this Stable Pool from a regular liquidity pool?** Maybe you've just learned to swap tokens, create a liquidity pair, and add your liquidity pair to a liquidity pool. How about this - is there a pair for 4 tokens? Well no. Instead, you get to participate in this pool by depositing just a…
Windows to MacOS? Help! M1 processor, fan-less design, and that design and build. I bit the bullet and got myself the M1 MacBook Air ("MBA"), switching over to macOS as a Windows OS user. My virgin experience is nothing less than traumatising, as I was heavily reliant on shortcuts and habits I've formed as a Windows user. Below documents some actions you can consider when you find yourself in a similar position as yours truly. Disclaimer: I am light on files as I've been…
Newbie Guide (Part 1): Where to Start in Crypto!? If you're like me, you have finally pushed yourself past the wall of thinking that crypto is a ponzi scheme (in short, it's somewhat like a scam that "pays" existing investors when new investors invest their money, and at the end of the day, this cycle cannot be sustained and everyone makes a loss). I started down the spiralling rabbit hole by coming across articles on cryptocurrency while browsing personal finance blogs. The…
