👑 King Arthur's favorite coins

GM everyone. This is 2036, the crypto newsletter that pays you.

Here’s what we’re serving up today 🍲: today is the day we make you a real crypto wizard. A web3 banker with swag. From this day on, your crypto life will be a rabbit hole of opportunities, one after the other. Don’t believe me?

Let’s dig in.

🥔 Today’s meat and potatoes

Get smarter on crypto in 2 minutes

Uniswap is the largest decentralized exchange in the world. It’s your gateway to Web3 - the Internet of ownership.

On Uniswap, you can:

• exchange the coins in your wallet for (almost) any other and

• earn yield on your coins

To participate, all you need is a Web3 wallet like Metamask. No bank, no centralized exchange, and no suit-and-tie needed.

Last week, Uniswap announced a major upgrade. 99% of you probably don’t care, but if you’re a degen and want to know, here’s a good summary.

However - here’s why you should use Uniswap:

Uniswap processes hundreds of millions of $$ of transactions every 24 hours.

It’s where traders and investors go and buy their coins when they don’t want/can’t trade on centralized exchanges.

This makes increasingly more sense.

In a coordinated crackdown, the SEC has sued Kraken, Binance and Coinbase - the 3 largest centralized exchanges.

Knowing how to use decentralized exchanges will help you invest/trade/buy crypto no matter what politicians decide to do next.

And if you want to buy the next memecoin, chances are you’ll have to use Uniswap to do it.

But wait - Uniswap has a token too! $UNI.

Every time you trade coins, Uniswap takes a tiny fee. Over time, those fees add up.

Since launch, they’ve generated nearly $3 BILLION in fees.

And what do we love almost as much as bitcoin?

• Charts that go up and to the right, like this one ☝️

• Crypto projects that actually make money

And we’re not alone. Arthur Hayes, the king of crypto trading, has written extensively about investing in protocols that earn actual fees.

(TLDR: he likes $UNI, $SUSHI & $GMX…)

Sounds good?

Let’s get you started with Uniswap then.

📝 Task

Earn BTC for a simple crypto task

Uniswap is your gateway drug to DeFi, which we’ll dive much deeper into in the coming weeks and months.
