I’m broke as hell. This is what I’m buying on Prime Day https://earlybirdsinvest.com/im-broke-as-hell-this-is-what-im-buying-on-prime-day/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/im-broke-as-hell-this-is-what-im-buying-on-prime-day/#respond Sun, 06 Jul 2025 07:27:31 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/im-broke-as-hell-this-is-what-im-buying-on-prime-day/

Android & Chill

One of the web’s longest-running tech columns, Android & Chill is your Saturday discussion of Android, Google, and all things tech.

Prime Day has always been the day when I tell myself I’m not going to buy anything I don’t need or waste money on stupid things. Then I do both.

This year will be different; it has to be because I’m broke. Even if I wanted to buy a bunch of gadgety toys, I can’t, because a life-changing medical issue and a whole lot of expensive water damage to my house have left me with no money, maxed credit cards, and bills to pay. The tank is dry, and now I have to fill it up again.

It’s not all bad. I have a phone that will last me until at least next year, a Chromebook that will be updated for a while, and a drawer filled with gadget junk I’ve already bought that I can tinker with all over again. You never know, I might be able to do something new and cool because ideas are free, and old stuff can be useful sometimes.

We’ll be buying a bunch of boring household stuff if we can find it in bulk and on a good sale. Stuff like trash bags, laundry detergent, and assorted crap that everyone needs. I figure between Amazon and Walmart — which you know is going to have a bunch of stuff on sale to compete — we can actually save a few bucks in the long run by spending it up front. Every penny counts.

However, I also need to ensure that the things I can’t afford to replace will last until I can. I have learned that it’s always better to spend a few dollars in advance to try and prevent breaking or losing your stuff, which will cost a lot of money to replace. Things like phones. Especially phones.

Your phones and watches need protection

I’m shopping for a good screen protector and a case for my phone, my work phone (or I can let it break and ask for a new one), and my wife’s phone. Usually we buy a new phone because we either really wanted one or because the one we have stopped working. My wife is especially hard on the screen and has busted more than a few over the years. She says that doesn’t happen to me because I’m lower to the ground, but I chalk it up to my jungle-quick catlike reflexes and superhuman speed.

Either way, a good screen protector and a case I can stand (I really don’t like either and never use them) will mean my phone has a better chance of surviving until I can afford to replace it. Same for my wife’s. If I have to spend $100 to potentially save $1,000, I’m good with that.

The same goes for our watches. I use a Garmin and my wife has a Pixel Watch, and both of them still work great. I’m sure they will keep it up for at least another year unless they get broken or lost. I know they make screen protectors for watches, and I’ll be buying a couple as well as a new silicone band for each. I’m also going to see what the case situation is. Yes, you can buy a case for your smartwatch.

Tablets, computers, and cables

My wife uses a Galaxy Tab, and I have an iPad here as well as a Chromebook I use for work. All three need to keep running until I can afford to replace them.

I know they make cases and screen protectors for both tablets, and I have seen some for a laptop before. If there’s stuff to fit my Chromebook, I’m going to add it to my budget.

I know I’m quickly reaching the limit of what I can afford to spend, but I also want to buy two USB chargers and two new high-quality cables. They can sit in the package until I need them, and it will be cheaper than running out to Walmart after work and grabbing one because I need it right away.

All of this is going to cost me some money, and I know that. It will also help make sure I don’t have to spend more later, or even worse, need something and not have the funds to get it.

It’s okay to be cheap, and Prime Day is your time

My wife says I secretly love this because I’m a cheap bastard who never likes to spend money. She’s right and wrong — I am cheap, and that has taught me how to get more by spending less. I’m doing it because I have no choice, though.

Those fancy headphones I’ve been wanting will just have to wait.

Bitcoin broke $100K… is it real this time? https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-broke-100k-is-it-real-this-time/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-broke-100k-is-it-real-this-time/#respond Fri, 09 May 2025 18:36:31 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-broke-100k-is-it-real-this-time/

Plus: This is your sign to care about tokenized securities

Welcome

GM. This one’s packed with juicy insights, chilled takes, and zero pulp fiction. You’re welcome.

👀 The SEC wants to ease up on tokenized securities rules.

🍍 Market flavor today

What a view 🥹

Everything’s green, Bitcoin’s back above $100K, Ethereum’s back above $2K, investor vibes are pushing toward Extreme Greed.

Life is good. Again 🥹

Guy shining green

Why the sunshine and rainbows?

Like we said yesterday, Donald Trump announced a trade deal with the UK – and now we’ve got more details.

It’s not a full removal of tariffs, but there are some big changes: certain import taxes are being lowered, and both sides agreed to boost trade in cars, planes, and agricultural stuff.

And less global tension = happier markets.

On top of that, regulators have been showing a whole lotta love to crypto lately:

  • New Hampshire and Arizona both signed laws that allow their states to build up Bitcoin reserves;

  • The US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) allowed banks under its watch to trade crypto on behalf of customers and let third parties handle some of the crypto stuff;

  • Over in Missouri, House Bill 594 – which would remove capital gains tax on crypto – passed in the state House. Now it’s sitting on Governor Mike Kehoe’s desk, waiting for a signature;

  • The IRS also scrapped a rule that would’ve required DeFi platforms to report crypto transaction data and collect customer info.

All that? Super bullish.

But Santiment says this much hype could go both ways:

When retail investors start FOMOing hard (especially with headlines like “Bitcoin hits 3-month high!”), it can pump prices too fast. And when everyone’s yelling “HIGHER, LFGGGG!”, rallies often take a break.

For now, crypto analyst MacroScope is watching if Bitcoin can stay above $100K. Not just a quick visit – like actually hold it.

If it does… bigger moves might be coming 👀

Building on top of the idea that regulators are warming up to crypto…

The SEC wants to give companies more freedom to issue, trade, and settle tokenized securitieswhich is basically turning regular stocks and assets into digital tokens.

Right now, if you wanna run a platform for trading tokenized securities, you might have to register as an exchange, a broker-dealer, or a clearing agency, because the SEC treats them like regular securities.

And blockchain platforms don’t fit neatly into any of those boxes, sooo… what the hell.

Because of that, most companies just avoid tokenized securities altogether.

And trading platforms don’t bother supporting them either, because there’s not enough demand to make it worth the effort.

So now we’ve got ourselves a chicken-and-egg situation:

No platforms = no tokenized securities. No tokenized securities = no platforms.

So here’s what the SEC wants to do:

Offer a conditional exemption – a kind of test pass that lets companies play around with tokenized securities under a looser set of rules.

Companies would have to follow the regular shebang, though: no fraud, no market manipulation, be transparent with users, keep good records, stay under SEC supervision, etc.

Now, why are they even considering this?

Because tokenized assets could actually fix a lot of what’s broken in TradFi – they can make things faster, cheaper, more transparent, and even more accessible.

And if the US doesn’t move now, other countries like Singapore and Switzerland (which are already going fast on tokenized securities) might leave it in the dust.

If tokenized securities actually catch on, it could be a huge deal for crypto. Here’s why:

1/ More real-world assets on chain

Stocks, real estate, bonds – all living on blockchains. That makes crypto infrastructure actually useful for traditional finance.

2/ Boost in institutional adoption

Institutions are more likely to step in when the assets are familiar (stocks, treasuries), even if the tech is new.

3/ More demand for stablecoins and token infrastructure

Tokenized securities don’t live in a vacuum – they need blockchains, wallets, stablecoins for settlement, and identity tools.

This boosts the whole crypto ecosystem.

4/ More regulation = more clarity

Tokenized securities already fall under some rules, but if this experiment works, it could help regulators fine-tune those rules and set better standards across the board.

But quick reality check:

As you can probably tell, none of that sounds like “prices going vertical overnight” – because that probably wouldn’t happen.

Tokenizing securities is more like laying down train tracks – super important infrastructure, but kinda boring until trains start moving on it.

In other words: it’s not about quick gains – it’s about setting up the foundation for crypto to actually matter in the real world. Which is something we love to hear, too.

🍋 News drops

👎 A US Senate vote officially killed the GENIUS Act. The bill was supposed to set clear rules for USD-pegged stablecoins.

😠 Michelle Bond, the wife of ex-FTX exec Ryan Salame, wants the charges against her dropped. She says prosecutors got her husband to plead guilty by telling him they wouldn’t come after her – then did anyway.

📢 And while we’re on the topic of FTX – a judge dropped most of the claims in a lawsuit against celebs who promoted it. That includes Tom Brady, Steph Curry, and Naomi Osaka.

🚔 German police shut down a crypto exchange that was allegedly used to launder money, including from the Bybit hack. They seized about $38M in crypto. Maybe this is their second chance to not fumble the bag like they did when they sold 50K BTC at $50K?.. 👀

Memecoins broke crypto—now they might fix it https://earlybirdsinvest.com/memecoins-broke-crypto-now-they-might-fix-it/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/memecoins-broke-crypto-now-they-might-fix-it/#respond Sat, 05 Apr 2025 17:28:51 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/memecoins-broke-crypto-now-they-might-fix-it/

The following is a guest post and opinion of Shibtoshi, Founder of SquidGrow.

Memecoins have created unprecedented chaos within the crypto industry. Most analysts see the chaos as a binary — some criticize memecoins as mere speculative assets, while others defend them for challenging low-float-high FDV VC-backed tokens.

But we need a new perspective. One that breaks the binary, accepting memecoins as speculative assets and a statement against VC tokens, leading to chaotic market scenarios. Acknowledging memecoins’ potential to breed chaos, it identifies chaos as the birthstone of a new utility-driven token economy.

Memecoin chaos is good for the industry

Memecoins led investor mindshare in 2024 and emerged as the most popular market narrative. Driven by relatable humor, collective mimetic desire, and virality, the memecoin market rose to $137 billion in December 2024.

Unlike high-value token launches of VC-backed coins denying fair entry to retail investors, memecoins offer an equitable playing field. No wonder more than 42% of investors were first-time buyers when US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump launched their memecoins.

At Consensys 2024, Riva Tez of LayerZero Labs explained that memecoins help crypto win the ‘narrative war’ due to their resonance with common people. Indeed, for memecoins, speculation is a vital use-case and essential feature of its functionality. 

But empty speculation can also be a bug. That’s what happened with memecoins, as its market cap dropped by 60% to around $53 billion in March 2025. Although external factors like geopolitical tensions and global trade wars negatively affected market activity, some intrinsic issues also contributed to memecoins’ collapse.

Malicious actors duped gullible retailers and extracted capital through scams like rug pulls, fake presales, pump-and-dump schemes, and phishing attacks. The collapse of the Libra token, endorsed by Argentine President Javier Milei, was the final nail in the coffin. It wiped out $4 billion of retail money and eroded investor confidence.

Everything was good with memecoins until it wasn’t. The market descended into complete chaos. But the memecoin chaos initiated a much-needed churning within the industry. Stakeholders realized memecoins wouldn’t succeed in the long term with their speculative potential and as an alternative to VC tokens.

The memecoin chaos serves as a wake-up call, albeit a delayed one. Chaotic markets led investors and token developers to realize the necessity of a utility-driven token economy for sustainable value generation. Without altering memecoins’ core thesis, stakeholders must use the chaos as an opportunity to plug utilities into the memecoin market.

Harnessing the potential of chaos

During the Memecoin Supercycle keynote speech at Token2049 Singapore, Murad said the token is the product. In a chaotic memecoin market, the token itself is not enough to drive value for investors. Instead, token developers must leverage the product and find new avenues to monetize them.

Memecoins are still isolated in a closed circular economy, with investors rotating between different tokens on trading apps to book profits. To stabilize the memecoin chaos, they must diversify into yield farming, staking, and liquid staking options to generate fresh market liquidity.

In other words, memecoins must break free from a gambler’s epiphany of creating generational wealth to become DeFi’s key product. Investors must also stop perceiving memecoins as chips in a casino and instead deploy them in financial markets.

The memecoin chaos demonstrates the need to expand from a product to a fully operational crypto ecosystem. The product must be a foundational stone to build utility-focused dapps for solving real-world problems.

For example, a memecoin project can launch a a decentralized application or SaaS tool to cater to the broader DeFi audience. The exchange can redirect the profits into the memecoin as buybacks, maintaining a steady capital flow to prevent price crashes.

Most of the memecoin chaos has resulted from rug pulls and pump-and-dump schemes, eroding investor trust in the asset class. Memecoin projects can restore confidence by building tools that solves pain points in the market such as liquidity lockers.

On a different note, the memecoin community holds the key to chaos. Highly paid project ambassadors, celebrity content creators, and influencers often care little about the project beyond their paychecks. They’ll bulk-purchase tokens and dump them at the slightest hint of a price crash or insider tip-offs.

Thus, memecoin chaos is an important reminder to focus on building an organic and well-knit community. This community will provide unwavering support to the memecoin ecosystem, bolster its utilities, and safeguard the token from abrupt price activity.

After the chaos subsides, meme tokens shouldn’t abandon their fun quotient to imitate serious financial instruments. Instead, the chaos is a clarion call to merge utility with humor to develop an inclusive and sustainable financial ecosystem.

In the Pulitzer-nominated book, ‘Chaos: Making a New Science,’ James Gleick wrote, “Chaos is a science of process rather than state, of becoming rather than being.” The memecoin chaos is also undergoing a scientific process of becoming a utility-driven meme economy from being a purely speculative asset with no intrinsic value.

For the crypto industry, the memecoin chaos is a moment of reckoning. From here on, meme tokens will usher in a new era of on-chain finance.
