Every year on March 9th I try to think of a different way to honor Christopher Wallace aka the King of Bed-Stuy. This year, since "everyone's over it" and "crypto is dead," I decided to flip his 10 Crack Commandments in favor of the 10 Crypto Commandments. Spit along to the classic DJ Premier instrumental below; lyrics after the jump.

I been in this game for years, but I don’t claim O.G./
But I learned a few things, stacked my sats[1] slowly
This is not invest advice or an exhaustive list
Crypto’s like an iceberg & this is just the tip
Rule numero uno: never let no one know, how much crypto you hold, cuz you know
The cheddar breed jealousy, haters upset; bragging on your wallet is just bad op-sec[2]/
Number 2: never sweat a five percent move; u know the crypto markets move with silence & violence
Take it from your highness- hold on for dear life buy the dip if the timing is right/
Number 3; never trust nobody, ‘specially if they down with XRP army/
Cartoon avatars might be Twitter superstars
but you could be a bot, we don’t know who you are! /
Number 4: all together now, sing along:
Not your private keys means they’re not your coins/
Number 5: don’t invest dough you can’t lose
Pay your mortgage or your rent or get your baby some shoes/
Number 6: maybe should’ve said this first
Hashtag D.Y.O.R.; do your own research/
Number 7: this rule is so underrated: keep your hot & cold wallets completely separated/
You gotta be deranged leaving stacks on exchange/
The site could get hacked and they pull a David Blaine/
Number 8; never try to catch a falling sword/
You should never make a trade cuz yo’ ass is bored
Number 9 should have been number one, for me/
Stay away from airdrops[3], or at least, be wary/
You might think it’s fly to get some coins for free/
But it’s prolly vaporware, it’s just too risky/
Number ten: share this list your best friend; it’s peer-to-peer tech, we all win in the end
The Fed be money printin’ they aint trying listen/
Buy bitcoin today to improve your position
Follow these rules you’ll have mad coins to break up/
The global monetary system due for a shake-up/
Goldman gettin fat on what the Fed bakes up/
Ain’t nobody bailing us out, ya gotta wake up!/
