It was on a Saturday evening at the end of September 2023, we were returning from a Salty Garden tavern near Bazaleti Lake to Tbilisi, parked our car on the street next to our house when I noticed there was a new corner coffee shop opened in our house. The better part of me asked me - if would I like to have a cup of coffee. I thought about it for a second - like, we have an excellent coffee machine in our apartment, and that is the only coffee I actually enjoy - mostly because the coffee is…

I keep growing the Terramatris crypto hedge fund bit after bit by selling put options on Ethereum and Bitcoin. Every week we choose one crypto coin and invest all premium in it. In the last weeks, we have already invested in XLM, ETH, USDC, and BTC. I have decided to stick with these 4 tickers until we grow the portfolio to at least 0.1 ETH or 0.01 BTC, thus enabling covered call writing on these positions. On week 8th, we are returning to Bitcoin - every time we are going to take options…

While working on the Terramatris crypto hedge fund I came up with an idea once in a month to re-invest the total value of the fund into the so-called Bitcoin contango trades. As the total value of the fund was about $74 at the end of September that's capital I put in work with bitcoin futures. Without further ado: On September 29, 2023, I bought Bitcoin perpetual futures worth 0.135 BTC at $27,162.50 per Bitcoin and simultaneously sold October 27, 2023 expiry bitcoin futures worth 0.134 BTC…

In today's article, I will share some lesser-known, market-neutral, and almost zero risk trade, we use at Terramatris crypto hedge fund to grow our portfolio. Meet - The Contango trade. What is the Contango? Contango is…

We use bitcoin contango trades occasionally at TerraMatris crypto hedge fund and look at them as short-term deposits with high returns. In today's article I'll share one such trade, we did recently On September 14, 2023, I bought Bitcoin perpetual futures worth 0.2 BTC at $26,365.90 per Bitcoin and simultaneously sold December 29, 2023 expiry bitcoin futures worth 0.2 BTC at $26,704.50.

My crypto portfolio took a hit of about 17% last night after it was announced that SEC has sued Binance and its CEO CZ. Bitcoin price dropped from about $27,150 to $25,500. At the time of writing, I was holding about 0.1 BTC long futures, with my average buy price at $27,125. Trading with leverage is like a double-sided sword, it can make huge returns and it can also blow up your account easily. With my BTC estimated liquidation price (ELP) just under $25,000 I started to feel quite…

About 5 years ago I started a simple, so-called 52-Week Money Saving Challenge. The rules for this challenge are very simple - to deposit in the first week one euro, in the second week - two, third week - three, etc. The amount after each week continues to grow, up to the last week of the year when it is 52 euros. The final sum at the end of the investment period equals 1378. For this year's 52-week challenge, I have decided to scale it up huge, by using margin and bitcoin futures with 125x…
