Happy Wednesday, Wise Owl Nation!

It's been 2.5 months since the last WoW was sent out.

I initially decided to miss a week to see how many people noticed it, but then quickly realized that I needed the break to rethink what I want out of this newsletter.

I'm still thinking, but the newsletter will be starting back up in full next week because frankly I just miss writing about stuff I care about.

Also, the ETH merge happens in about 16 hours from the time this email is sent!

You can even check on this yourself via a handy google search.

I have been talking about this merge for literal years now and it is finally upon us. Major news outlets are finally talking about it like it's new news.

But all of you have known about it for quite a while.

I hope you have been buying ETH every week.

I even sold the remainder of my BTC yesterday since the financial sector as a whole went down after the US Federal Reserve made strong statements about combating inflation.

I always put my money where my mouth is and I truly believe buying and holding ETH right now is one of the smartest investments in existence at the moment.

So that's it for today, just wanted to pop into your inbox and say hey, and remind you that the merge is very close and that I will be back in your inboxes every Wednesday.

Next week I will give everyone an update on my life and progress on my goals this year.

You can find all past issues (including this one) here. 

Have a great week!

This concludes our issue this week, I hope it gave you some perspective or injected a little motivation into your life!

If it helped, let me know! I read every newsletter response I receive, and I absolutely love hearing from all of you. This newsletter is for you, so I need your help to make it as great as possible.

If you'd like to show me some love for writing all this free stuff, you can always buy me a coffee.

Crypto Resources

The Bankless Podcast: This is a link to the bankless podcast on Spotify. Start from the very beginning and learn why I am so positive about the power of Crypto and Ethereum in particular. You can find the podcast easily on the internet, but I am linking to episode 1 on Spotify for your convenience.

Buy your first ETH or BTC:

• On Coinbase - this is the easiest starting place for the newest beginners
• On Gemini - Another great option founded by the Winklevoss brothers. They are based out of New York.
• On Kraken - Kraken has a bit of a harder user interface, but they already have ETH staking enabled with the push of a single button.

Other tools:

• Argent Wallet - This is the best mobile wallet for Ethereum, Defi, and all things on the Ethereum network, including staking. They even have plans to implement Layer 2 to remove network fees.
• Ethhub - this is a weekly newsletter that lists out all the interesting news, articles, and tweets that have happened in Crypto that week. It's free and awesome.
• Ethdashboard - A simple dashboard to look at various metrics in the ethereum space. I mainly use this as a quick tool to check ETH gas fees.
• Cointracker - this is one of the better tools for tracking all of your various crypto across all of the various wallets, exchanges, etc. You can also use them to do your crypto taxes each year.
• Metamask - this is a crypto wallet that you can access from your browser and allows you to easily interact with blockchain apps online.
