[Sponsored] Ambire, the first non-custodial crypto wallet with email login, is pioneering an early user continuous airdrop rewards program in its first 4 years. Simply put, if you hold funds with Ambire Wallet, you will receive early user rewards in their newly launched native WALLET token up until late 2025.  

Created as a mechanism of engaging its community, the Ambire Wallet rewards plan grants multiple opportunities for gains. Along with the continuous airdrop, users can easily stake their WALLET tokens, and their staking position is then considered towards their account value that determines the airdrop rewards they get. This way, you earn rewards on top of your rewards.

Already gaining momentum as a secure and trusted browser app, with a mobile app and a debit/credit card in the pipeline, Ambire Wallet brings blockchain and DeFi to everyone’s fingertips. The team building Ambire believes the future belongs to exceptional, easy-to-use tech for a new autonomous and responsible lifestyle, so they are developing the wallet exactly for this. If you haven’t already switched to Ambire, you can do so now and follow them on Twitter for updates on how they plan to reshape the way we do DeFi.

💰 ETH’s Big Week

It’s always nice to see positive price action in the crypto markets and the last few weeks have been quite good with ETH now trading above $3500 - just 28% below it’s all time high. It’s always funny to me when I think about just how brutal 2018 was for ETH - a 94% drawdown from all time high in less than 12 months - if that were to happen today ETH would go to $300! Obviously we’re now in a much different time and Ethereum has come a long way with plenty of things to be excited about going forward!

Have a great week everyone!

Not afraid to admit that my greatest fear in life is becoming irrelevant For me, that would mean being forgotten about in the Ethereum community and cast aside as some boomer has-been Though this is probably inevitable as Ethereum continues to grow (and maybe even a good thing)
