While I do believe, like most of us in the crypto industry, that Web3 is going to transform a host of industries and provide gigantic opportunities for investors. It is IMPERATIVE that you, as an investor, realize that the best way to make sure you make money is to be defensive with your hard earned cash.

Take risks, but make sure your risks are calculated and not wanton.

Spend more time researching projects, narratives, and macroeconomics before investing more than 25% of your net worth into crypto.

📈 China is set to launch its 1st platinum futures contracts.
According to SCMP Morning Post, the GFEX “will be the 1st exchange to allow delivery against its contracts of platinum and palladium in a form used by the main consumers, including carmakers and other industrial sectors, and the contracts may also support platinum investment demand in China.”

📊 “We are now seeing signs that platinum’s role in the hydrogen economy is gaining momentum, with our forecast for 2024 indicating a significant increase in demand to meaningful levels. This year will also witness the allocation and deployment of over US$300 billion in tax incentives and subsidies from various governments around the world, potentially further accelerating hydrogen's demand for platinum,” WPIC® CEO Trevor Raymond said.
