“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”



- Vince Lombardi

Howdy, investors!


Today, we follow up on a reader's suggestion to take a closer look at mining Helium's MOBILE token. The company is looking to build a decentralized 5G network to replace legacy providers, and you can get paid in MOBILE tokens for helping. Plus, as far as mining goes, it's easy to do!


In other news, Coinbase takes on the legacy banking system by rolling out free money transfers that can be sent as links through email and social platforms. Because receivers need a Coinbase wallet to accept the transfers, it is expected that this will be a great user acquisition channel for the company.


Stablecoins took a hit in 2022, but are bouncing back with the rise of bitcoin. While USDT and USDC still dominate, other stablecoins are seeing increased user interest as the market heats up. (Bitcoin is over $44,000 as we write this.)

How to Mine MOBILE Tokens

by Anatol Antonovici

The Helium Network is a blockchain-based wireless infrastructure project that aims to offer affordable internet connectivity to the world.


It enables individuals and businesses to help build and maintain these wireless networks in exchange for rewards paid in the blockchain’s native token, MOBILE.


If you set up a Helium Hotspot, you start earning MOBILE. As we'll explain below, that makes it a great “set it and forget it” investment opportunity.


We feel that Helium's innovative approach to 5G network expansion has promising growth potential. Mining MOBILE is not just an investment opportunity; it's also a way to contribute to a decentralized global 5G infrastructure.


It's also worth mentioning that the MOBILE token is up more than 100% over the past 24 hours after launching a nationwide plan in the U.S. with unlimited data, text, and calls that cost just $20 a month.

Today's most important stories for crypto investors.

Coinbase Rolls out Money Transfers (The Block)

Investor takeaway: Coinbase is launching a new service allowing customers to send money worldwide using apps and services such as WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, social media platforms, and email at no cost.


The introduction of free global money transfers could boost the adoption of the Coinbase Wallet, as well as growing the company's userbase and market position. If you're not yet invested in $COIN stock, it's worth another look.

State of Stablecoins: Signs of Returning Liquidity (Coin Metrics)

Investor takeaway: Stablecoins have become a key part of the global financial system, particularly in economies facing high inflation. And stablecoins are surging.


Think of stablecoins as a barometer for the crypto ecosystem: when stablecoin supply is rising, it indicates that more people are moving more money into them.


Or, think of them as the "holding tank" between traditional money and digital money: when crypto goes up, more money flows out of traditional investments and into crypto investments. And stablecoins are often where they go first.

Understanding The Cyclicality of Crypto Markets (The Defiant)

Investor takeaway: This article argues that we are in the sixth bitcoin bull cycle, about halfway through. While we don't place much faith in prediction articles, it's useful for comparing our current bull run with previous cycles.


As always, our approach is not timing the market, but time in the market. We steady-drip invest a little bit each month into our Blockchain Believers Portfolio, regardless of price. Set it and forget it.
