It's even harder when you're looking at 10+ charts and spreadsheets to keep track of your investments and how they perform. That's why we use [Delta.App]( to track everything happening with the Milk Road Public Wallet (where we hold ETH and a Punk right now)...even when it's in the red. Delta's tracking app lets us manage and track our live performance, all in one place so we can focus on other things. [You can try it right now and never lose track of your portfolio again!]( THOUSANDS OF SOLANA WALLETS GET DRAINED [More than 9,000 Solana wallets have been exploited for over $4m.]( Nobody knows exactly what the root cause of the hack is, but it seems to be draining random Phantom and Slope (Solana) wallets. Reports are all over the place. It could be software bugs in the popular Solana wallets. It could be a private key leak. It could be the boogeyman. No one really knows. But we do recommend sending any valuable assets you have to your hardware wallets. Hide yo crypto. Hide yo wife. Hide yo kids. It’s gettin’ real out here. We’ll be keeping you updated on Twitter [@MilkRoadDaily]( as we get more details. Stay safe out there. MAGIC EDEN WILL NOW SUPPORT ETHEREUM NFTS Magic Eden is the leading NFT marketplace on Solana. They control ~90% of all volume for Solana NFTs. And now they’re taking their talents to Ethereum. That’s right, [Magic Eden will now have Ethereum NFTs]( on their marketplace. They’ll be looking to take some market share away from OpenSea. Which is much easier said than done. OpenSea is in 1st place and it’s not even close. [According to the Block](, OpenSea had ~78% of all monthly volume for Ethereum NFTs in July. But it’s interesting because it won’t be the first battle between Magic Eden and OpenSea either. Remember, OpenSea released the support for Solana NFTs back in April. That was their attempt at getting market share from Magic Eden. Some say that was Magic Eden’s “MJ” moment. Now they’re looking to return the favor by stepping onto the Ethereum turf. It’s getting spicier than three packets of Diablo on my crunch wrap supreme! Magic Eden vs OpenSea will be one to watch over the next few months. MEME OF THE DAY 🤣 That's a wrap for today folks. See ya tomorrow! If you want more, we'll be posting all day on our Twitter!
