Tools
Disclaimer: These are the tools, products and services I have used (some I have outgrown but still good) as well those that I still use today (some are free, which I will indicate as such).
Assume that these are affiliate links, which mean that if you purchase through my affiliate links, I will get a small compensation at no extra cost to you as payment for my recommendation. I only recommend what I have / had used, with good experience or outcome.
Feel free to workaround the affiliate links, but if you use my links, know that the commissions help to keep me writing for my cause here nigelchua.com and I thank you for your support.
See more disclosure at the bottom of this page.

Research
Cryptonary is the go-to-place where I get my update, research and scoop on the latest research on crypto landscape, memecoins, what to buy and when to sell. I like the structured way they research and report their research, and their Discourse is very active with not much fluff. Useful.
CryptoKnights is a community of crypto mentors and enthusiasts based mainly in Singapore, and they do regular meet ups and have fairly active Telegram and Discourse chat groups. The link brings you straight to their Crypto Profit Secrets course that retails for $997 and if you go through my link you will get $500 off (so you’d only pay $497) AND use the code “CK888” at checkout.

Domain name (especially if you want to stock up on domain names or you want a custom domain for your substack)
Web hosting (I recommend substack for its simplicity and reach)

Advertiser Disclosure
This website is an independent, subscription and advertising-supported publication. We want to help you make personal finance decisions with confidence by providing you with free interactive tools, helpful data points, and by publishing original and objective content.
We work hard to share thorough research and our honest experience with products and brands. Of course, personal finance is personal so one person’s experience may differ from someone else’s, and estimates based on past performance do not guarantee future results. As such, our advice may not apply directly to your individual situation. We are not financial advisors and we recommend you consult with a financial professional before making any serious financial decisions.
How We Make Money
We make money from subscriptions and from affiliate relationships with companies that we personally believe in. This means that, at no additional cost to you, we may get paid when you click on a link.
This compensation may impact how and where products appear on this site (including, for example, the order in which they appear), but does not influence our editorial integrity. We do not sell specific rankings on any of our “best of” posts or take money in exchange for a positive review.
At the end of the day, you, our readers come first and your trust is very important to us. We will always share our sincere opinions, and we are selective when choosing which companies to partner with.
The revenue these partnerships generate gives us the opportunity to research, interview, create good non-AI content, as well as continue to improve the website and its content.
Editorial Disclosure
Opinions expressed in our articles are solely those of the writer. The information regarding any product was independently collected and was not provided nor reviewed by the company or issuer. The rates, terms and fees presented are accurate at the time of publication, but these change often. We recommend verifying with the source to confirm the most up to date information.
