Your Money is Growing

Avalanche (AVAX) went from $3.50 at the beginning of 2021 to $114 by year end. That's a 32x return on investment in a single year. Avalanche lived up to its name, but will it keep rolling?

Solana, Terra and Polkadot Are Growing Like Cray-Cray (Electric Capital): Besides Avalanche, this report shows that other competing blockchains are attracting scores of developers -- and investors.

Investor takeaway: The report concludes that Ethereum is still adding developers faster than anyone else, so ETH is still the 800-pound gorilla. But look for upcoming Investor Scorecards on Solana (SOL), Terra (LUNA), and Polkadot (DOT)!

Hi Everyone,

"Crazy, but that's how it goes./ Millions of people living as foes./ Maybe it's not too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate."

So go the lyrics of the famous Prince of Darkness song, just before the Crazy Train song goes off the rails with a wailing solo by Randy Rhoads.

If you haven't figured it out by now, we're talking about Black Sabbath, whose lead singer Ozzy Osbourne has recently announced his very own NFT project.

The news does come as a bit of a shock for this Black Sabbath fan, as I didn't realize that this legendary singer was still doing things.

The infamous onstage trick that inspired this non-edible bat collection happened the year before I was born, and the last time I saw the dude was Ozzfest Tel Aviv in 2010.

Even then, he was clearly having mobility issues. None of that stopped me from getting ejected from the show, but we'll save that story for a different time.

There seems to be a rash of hellraising celebrities taking a shot in the dark with the snowblind NFT market. Call me a dreamer, but I do hope that this one flies higher than a sweet leaf under the graveyard.

Mental wounds

We all knew that the economic recovery from COVID-19 would be uneven, but lately, it's been downright insane.

Here, we have a telling statistic from November that was recently published by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Those of you who've been reading lately are already aware of what has been dubbed the Great Resignation.

The phenomenon is also easily visible by the rate of Reddit users who've recently subscribed to the subreddit r/antiwork.

Nevertheless, the ADP figure released today ahead of the official Labor Department statistics this Friday reported blowout growth in American jobs in December.

So what happened? Did everyone quit in November and then go back to work last month? Is this just a Christmas bump? It's possible.

But if Friday's report comes out anywhere near 1 million jobs, Federal Reserve policy makers will use it to continue reducing stimulus and eventually increase interest rates.

Off the rails!
