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 September 27, 2023, I decided to withdraw all funds available from my stock brokerage account and put them to work at Terramatris crypto hedge fund.

On September 21, 2023, I bought 1 October 27, 2023 expiry long Gold futures contract at 1,919.30 and sold 1 November 28, 2023 expiry short Gold futures contract at 1928.4.
