Somehow I managed to destroy some flexor tendons in my right hand and I've been struggling to type even a single word as of late, which is the main reason why I took a break from the platform. The thing is I haven't been working out for a couple of months now as I have a terrible back problem as well, so I really have no clue where this hand injury came from. I will just have to come to terms with the fact that I'm growing old I guess.

Now, even though I haven't been actively participating in the blogging/engagement game, crypto is still on my mind 24/7 and I've been trading a bit more frequently the last couple of days. Spending time on discord and telegram on a daily basis and looking to enter some first 5-minute candles and ride it out. It's worked wonders in the past, so now I'm back for more.

I was introduced to DeFi back when @leofinance launched cubdefi and essentially provided Hive folks with a means of transferring value from the Hive blockchain to BSC for the first time ever. Apart from being granted the ability to utilize Hive layer 2 blogging and curation rewards in order to earn yield, I was also now exploring a whole new universe of options and investment opportunities, from reflection and dividend tokens to staking vaults and LPs. The perks of being a part of the most vibrant crypto community out there.

DeFi has already taken the crypto world by storm, attracting attention and capital with no signs of slowing down any time soon. We have already discussed a number of times how this next level economy has the potential to reshape the way we live, communicate value to each other and perform transactions on a global scale. It's a bad baby growing stronger as the weeks go by and making headlines on a regular basis.

Of course, scammers always have and always will follow the money, so it's necessary to be extra cautious when investing in newly launched DeFi tokens with no track record whatsoever, however, as they say, with great risk comes great reward. May is just around the corner now and I'm getting May 2021 vibes, when some of my BSC shitcoins - ehmmm I mean tokens - were spiking like crazy, giving me the opportunity to exit with a good bunch of BNB tokens for my hustle.

I made the most of the situation back then, but for some reason I stopped chasing lottery tickets as I had already started earning yield on BSC and Ethereum, choosing mainly stablecoin pools so as not to have to worry about market manipulation and wild fluctuations. Scoring 5xs in a matter of hours was kind of an addictive hobby, not gonna lie, but I realized that a happy trader is a trader in profit, so I decided to just ride off into the sunset and chose not to keep pushing my luck.

That said, due to the fact that I've had plenty of free time in my hands lately - as I finally made the decision to fire my boss and go back to my old ways of making a living through my crypto-oriented ventures - I ended up discovering some new gems that haven't launched yet, so I decided to dig deeper and investigate their contracts as well as the teams behind said BSC projects. A couple of days later, I decided to sell my LVL stake in order to load up on some BNB to join two of those upon launch. First candles, here I come again.

The goal is to score some xs during the first couple of days, sell for stables and move earnings over to Polygon in order to provide pHBD - USDC liquidity on PolyCUB. @leofinance decided to build a massive stablecoin pool, which is hands down one of the most attractive stablecoin pools in the entire DeFi realm, and given the current massive APR offered, the track record of the @leofinance team and the fact that HBD is one of the oldest, most reliable algostables, it's a no-brainer for liquidity providers.

So, we will see how this is going to play out for me, as I will be posting regular updates, even if it means I have to type entire posts with only my left hand. No token names or contracts yet, as I wouldn't want anyone getting rugged after reading my contributions. Stay safe and wish me luck!

That sums it all up for now.
