For someone who’s been on the conference circuit all year, 25 conferences in total…
… this is one of my top 5 I look forward to in 2023 🙆♀️
maybe even top 3
or top 1, who knows
Avalanche Summit II is returning to Barcelona at the Poble Espanyol from Weds. May 3 through Fri. May 5!

Thanks
@ibtimes
for covering a little bit about my journey 🙏
Here’s a little more about myself:
I studied Finance & Computer Science and started off my career at the largest environmental commodities market maker in Amsterdam, STX Group.

@avalancheavax
summit? Some of my all time fav spots, and probably missing a lot of them:
(You can't really go wrong with food in Barcelona anyways)
I’m so smol but had big things to say
We have come a long way in crypto derivatives but still have so much more to build and can’t wait to see it happen ♥️
Thanks
@EthCC

“it's important to remember that every person working at
@ledger_prime
has a depth of knowledge in the market”
I get to dream and build every day with the greatest minds but above all the biggest hearts ♥️
Thanks
@TechTimes_News
Thanks for having me on
@kaileyleinz
&
@mattmiller1973
to discuss markets/trading around the ETH merge, current relationship between macro & crypto, VC investments and more!
also lovely surprise to see
@John1wu
from
@avalabsofficial
as today's guest too
LIVE: Crypto under scrutiny, the “blockchain trilemma,” Ethereum’s Merge and more on the Bloomberg Crypto show
Today’s guests:
- John Wu, Ava Labs President
- Laura Vidiella, LedgerPrime Vice President
Not sure what I did to deserve so much love around my birthday every year but it only gets better as I grow older
I appreciate every single one of you very much, I need a bigger heart to fit all your love ♥️
The Engineering of Bitcoin by
@CaitlinLong_
is one of the best Monday reads I've had in a long time, reminds us all of why we are (still) here
very refreshing, and a perfect practice read ahead of this Thanksgiving!
Link:
for such an early industry some people are way too competitive
arguments between L1s, race to win between defi protocols stepping on each other, among other things
hopefully we see less of this in 2023
Gm Dubai,
Perhaps the best picture I’ve ever taken
We all had an incredible time and should be back soon 🌞

@SatoshiRoundtbl
as well as all the locals, residents and friends for being so welcoming ♥️
@LayahHeilpern
Could be an embarrassment for the party itself (she was UK’s 4th conservative prime minister in six years)
… but why women? Has nothing to do with her gender
A lot of crypto jargon feels outdated as the industry grows
For instance, the term "alts" sounds a bit derogatory. There are plenty of great "alts" that deserve as much respect as BTC and/or ETH and are not "alternative" anymore
if you move spot ETH or AVAX in size, Enclave Cross should be an essential part of your trading infra stack, even the first platform you check in with
best privacy, price and liquidity unless your spot OTC desk really loves you
Enclave Cross is our crypto-native iteration on the traditional crossing network. 🔐
We've taken the functionality of tradfi crossing networks and combined it with the cryptographic security of our Fully Encrypted Exchange (FEX). Here's why we did it 🧵👇

for 2.5 years now, when option markets were smol and the audience was completely different
Always been one of my favorite traders to work with and learn from

The markets are even lower now. I hope I’ve at least managed to save some of you from longing any of this.
I will defiantly let everyone know when I think we have a bottomming setup.
Today will be the first time this 2022 I don’t connect to wi-fi on plane back to Miami
and then will go touch some grass or water 🌱 🌊
Happy weekend y’all, here’s a sunset pic from last night
So much more to cover but great time with

We keep seeing content on crypto adoption but one thing I’m 100% is the positive correlation between crypto options & adoption
Experienced it w/

@VidiellaLaura
explores the complexities of crypto’s options market and explains why some market participants are convinced there is a ‘ghost’ whale present in the order book.
“We went through kind of a Lehman-like moment,” in crypto says Ledgeprime VP Laura Vidiella.
Cryptocurrencies fell Tuesday, dragging down Bitcoin in line with US stocks as investors prepare for expected rate hikes from the Federal Reserve this week
tbh, this should be very encouraging to those who want to speak at a conference/podcast and feel a bit of impostor syndrome
if the homie can do this on CNBC ... you might as well
Congrats

team for your

It’s been beautiful to watch the growth achieved over the last six months - and a lot more to come!
Buying all the maple in Brickell to celebrate 🥞
You may write us down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod us in the very dirt
But still, like dust, we’ll rise.
Long live all the good hearts in crypto. We will rise again tomorrow.
Let's rebuild into what we should have always been since day 1
♥️
Best thing that could happen right now is given that half of Twitter engineers are gone, platform could go down for a few days and we all get to touch grass
🌱🌱🌱
Happy Thanksgiving frens,
leaving this year's hardships aside, grateful for the time spent with old and new friends, all the achievements and learnings
special thanks to

other than the
@avalancheavax
summit in March, the best conferences this year have happened during the second half of the year imo
EthCC, KBW, Converge, DAS, Token 2049...
bear market has indeed done some spring cleaning
What a day for exchanges
1/ US Seeks More than $4 Billion From Binance to End Criminal Case
2/ SEC accuses Kraken of commingling customer funds, operating unregistered exchange
3/ Bittrex Global announces all trading will be disabled as it winds down operations
it's still 6pm
Few thoughts/patterns I’ve been seeing re hedging over the last 3 - 4 years:
1/ When there are big market swings (in either direction), derivatives platforms & OTC desks get an increased inflow of new users/counterparties requests
About 50% of BTC & ETH options contracts on
@DeribitExchange
set to expire this 12/30

Whenever people tell me that Barcelona is one of their favorite cities in Europe, I can't help but turn away and feel sad/dishonest.
You will hear me say "it's great to visit, but not to live". At least not how it used to be.
It's disheartening because the city worked so hard
True story:
A Spanish friend of mine was selling his apartment in Barcelona.
He found a buyer and was about to close the deal.
Then three guys broke into the apartment and squatted it.
Friend calls the police.
They tell him: there’s nothing we can do, and if you try to evict
please treat your support agents with love & respect
we are all hurting and doing our best, & yelling/hating at your agent (or each other) will never, never ever never ever make it better
I was once on the support side and can confirm some people are brutal, absolutely ruthless
Announcing that

@VidiellaLaura
is joining us in Sept for Converge22 in San Francisco. Come hear about strategies in quant and systemic digital asset investing.
This is the time to readjust your portfolio and move away from coins you were uncertain about but still held "just in case they moon"
reinvest in assets you believe in their long-term industry value and find ways to keep increasing your position away from just buying spot
Thank you
@maplefinance
for having me over for dinner. All the syrup in Brickell cannot make up for the sweetness and love in every single one of you 🥞 ♥️
Also if the way the team prepared those tacos tells you anything about Maple’s future… 👀
Just saying

Life is beautiful and I’m grateful to have y’all in it ♥️
Especially this lil one who woke up my family every night this week I wasn’t home by 2am
options trading comes with a little more complexity than spot/perps/futures trading as you need to choose both a strike and expiry
however, options trading promotes investor discipline by making them anticipate returns and ensuring a position is not held longer than needed
