Crypto Allocation (April 2021)
I’ve been building out my approach to crypto. I shared my allocation in March and updated it this weekend.
Notes:
- I’ve been increasing Ethereum to get closer to Bitcoin.
- Bitcoin and Ethereum together are 80%.
- Increased the amount of Cardano as an additional Ethereum-like blockchain.
- Doubled Filecoin, which builds a permanence layer on IPFS.
- Added Curve DAO because of the focus on cost-efficient swapping between stablecoins.
- Added Enjin because of the focus on NFTs.
I’m sharing this as my own notes for any value they may have to others.

We hung The Frame by Samsung today and I am impressed with it. It is discrete. The picture quality is good. It is fun to have different art on it and with the press of a button you can watch a show.
Stopped by Five Watt Coffee for the first time since the pandemic and got an Iced Kingfield, my favorite fancy coffee drink. So good. Thank you Paul for the coffee!
We checked out Vivir for brunch this morning and were blown away. We got the Torta and the Chilaquiles Verde. Delicious. Will be back! 🤤
Had a great ride this morning on Matt Wilpers 75-minute Power Zone Endurance Ride. My first 75 minute ride so a PR by default. 815 kJ. Definitely started to gas out after 60 minutes. 🚴🏻 #FitByFifty

I like the idea of using Emoji to indicate status. Fun!

From today’s Economist Espresso:
Pfizer’s chief executive said that people everywhere are likely to need a third dose of covid-19 vaccine within 12 months, with annual boosters for the foreseeable future to keep abreast of viral variants. His remarks, made on April 1st, were disclosed yesterday. The White House said that America is already preparing for the need to administer booster shots.
Covid-19 isn’t going to ‘go away’. I fully expect we’ll be getting annual vaccinations for several years. With science and knowledge we will be able to manage it.

Reading List: Think Again
Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know by Adam Grant arrived today. This book hit my radar via Three Star Leadership and Tools & Toys. “It’s about the learning culture between your ears.” That put this in on my list right away! 📚
