Bought more $ZEC.The chances of a BTC flippening are low but not zero.The energy and vibes are too good to ignore.Feels like 2017 again.Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas):In a twisted way X algo works, I ended up buying $ZEC.First I saw @0xMert_ mention he holds ZEC.

RT Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas)Spent three weeks traveling and barely keeping up with crypto.The vibes have shifted significantly since then:There's more anger, uncertainty, and exhaustion on CT following the 10/10 crash.Tired of winning, huh?My portfolio took a hit, too, but alts I hold recovered better than NFTs:Pudgy Penguins down by 35% (move worsen by lending liquidations).Yet looking at onchain stats, the market looks healthy:- TVL in DeFi still near ATHs- Stablecoin supply keeps hitting ATH after ATH- E ...
