Welcome to the 12th version of the Degen PRO Report.
Twelve reports already?? Wild.
First off - thank you. We just crossed 10k subs on this newsletter, and whether you’ve been rocking with me since my first stream in April or just joined this week, I appreciate you.
This ride has been a reminder that no matter how long you’ve been in the game (I’ve been here 5+ years), you never stop learning.
Last month I got humbled - missed obvious plays right in front of me (Plasma, Punk Strategy, Aster) while chasing bottom-barrel gems and getting rinsed.
Classic mistake: I wasn’t betting on the fastest horse in a bull phase.
So I’m hitting reset: this week I traded very little.
For this report, instead of recent trades, I’m laying out what I am holding (with exit targets) and what I’m stalking for the next dip.
Because there’s always another ticker, another entry, or another dip to scoop, and a fresh approach is needed to properly lock in.
Let’s strap in.
🧠 VIBECHECK
Vibes are high. Bitcoin is ripping and everything else has a pulse again for “Uptober” (even dead tickers). Hell, even DegenPing is alive.
The golden rule here remains: sell into euphoria, but know the difference between a healthy pump and a pico top.
These next few weeks will be defining for the cycle. It’s only Day 3 of October, but Bitcoin’s direction will decide how far everything else can run.
For me, it’s about staying sharp - taking profit when it’s there, sticking to targets, and not letting violent candles shake the plan.
If you haven’t made it this cycle, swinging for a home run is not the right way to FOMO. If you’re sitting on gobs of profit, don’t be greedy and try to 3x your big take.
📚 WEEKLY RESEARCH
Airdrop farming strategy
The past two weeks I’ve written two airdrop guides - one for the broader eco, and one specific to HyperLiquid - and honestly, the sheer number of opportunities here is overwhelming.
This weekend my focus is simple: pick 3 apps I can grind properly and ignore the rest. I’d rather secure 3 meaningful airdrops than spread thin across 20 and end up with scraps.
Base token farming
Base is one of the clearest farming targets this quarter, and there are plenty of easy ways to get exposure.
I’ve already mentioned minting a creator token on Zora (whose token is up big this week), but here are a few other multipliers I’m looking at:
- Mint a Base Guild NFT: I grabbed one earlier - might need to do extras like claim a BaseName to qualify. I’ve got Guild NFTs for hundreds of apps already; not sure if they matter, but for a few bucks it’s low risk.
- Stake $USDC on Avantis: $AVNT is down this week, like most perp DEXes, but it’s still Base’s flagship. Their stablecoin vaults offer monster APYs, and Kate laid out a solid strat here.
- Follow Based Maxxin: Seems like the Base team launched a meme account that’s just roasting themselves. Honestly refreshing compared to their usual corporate vibe, and I can’t shake the feeling there’s hidden alpha in those posts.
💼 DEGEN TRADES
Spot trades
- 🟢 $VIRUS: I’ve been watching this one for months, and it finally popped this and ran all the way to $36M. Virus is a viral crypto gaming company that just launched their new hit, AddictedFun (a game where you grow weed). I round-tripped a 50% win so far but still holding.
- 🟢 $PSWAP: This is a small cap in the Believe ecosystem on Solana; it's a prediction market aggregator, where news stories are launched in a feed and their related prediction markets are linked across Polymarket, Kalshi, and Limitless. Trading goes live very soon.
Uh-oh, the rest of this report is for Degen PRO and All Access Members only.
