What I Wrote: Q2 2022 Crypto Portfolio Allocations | NineOverFour I wrote a post about my cryptocurrency holdings. I summarized my actions from Q2 and outlined my plans for the current quarter.
I was a bit hesitant to publish this post because it reveals my finances. With all the security risks associated with crypto, it’s probably not the smartest thing to publish your holdings.
I was inspired by the Merit Circle monthly treasury reports to share my own crypto portfolio allocations. Although I’m not a big DAO with venture capital funds, I like the idea of transparency and building in the open.
I previously shared my Axie Infinity adventures and numbers in my Axie Journal series. I enjoyed hearing from readers and responding to their emails. The goal is the same with this post. I want to get feedback on my portfolio.

What I Read: The Comfort Crisis | Michael Easter Michael Easter writes about his five-week adventure hunting caribou in the Alaskan wilderness in The Comfort Crisis. As a lead up to his expedition, he explores nutrition, fitness, and mental health by reaching out to a diverse group of researchers, scientists, and doctors.

What I Read: On Learning in Public I’m not exactly sure how I found Ava and bookbear express. But I am glad that I did. Her writing reminds me of pieces I read when I first started NineOverFour. Deeply personal but with lessons that apply to almost anyone.
In this essay, Ava responds to a question from a reader about learning in the open.
Axie Infinity held a town hall with the community on their Discord channel on 8/1/2022.
Not everyone has time to listen live or watch the recording. Or they just want to read about what was discussed. So I decided to put together a written summary. This post is inspired by Samipunch and his summaries of the DFK AMA’s.
A recording of the town hall can be found on the Axie Infinity YouTube channel .

What I Wrote: Essential SE Exam Study Materials | NineOverFour It’s been a while since I wrote an essay. It feels good to write, edit, and publish a longer piece.
I wrote this piece as an update to my previous essay on passing the structural engineering licensure exam. The original essay was written over five years ago.

What I’ve Read: Writing Is Thinking: Learning to Write With Confidence In this blog post, Steph Smith explains her writing process. I was surprised at her high standards for quality and value provided. She doesn’t proceed with an idea unless it truly benefits others.
I also liked her take on SEO.
