raise $12M from VCs, spend months building, and you have the ability to release an NFT collection that challenges Pixelmon for the worst thing I've ever seen
when SOL was sub $20 they told me it was a ghostchain with no TVL or users, the next EOS
when SOL is ~$200 everything is fake & incentivized so it's overvalued, funny how that works innit
some of the hamster cope from the VC types is hilarious
sorry bro, people are having fun & legit talking/interacting/curious more about crypto because of hamsters racing instead of your copy paste ridiculous valuation L2 that has 127 users with a combined 8000 sybil wallets
you guys really convinced yourself to fade SOL for the 3rd time, just submit to the SOL<>ETH fractal & embrace it as the high growth beta this cycle
it’s been a year+ now of this, you’ll be happier i promise
HNT up 115% from this over the past two months w/ essentially no drawdown while rest of market pukes
couldn’t be more convicted in DePIN’s growth, real world impact & opportunities over the coming 12-24 months. AI tokens & DePIN garner core focus, attention & research from me

actually unfathomable that this token wasn't live ~36 hours ago & was available to buy in size sub 10M market cap, ~450M of 24h volume is absolutely bonkers
haven't looked at MOG in the past 3 months until an hour ago, instantly bought
178 days of consolidation into previous ATH break as we head into the most favorable conditions we've had in years, wouldn't be shocked if it was the next $1B memecoin
people are so angry about SOL’s rally they’re reverting back to issuance FUD & tweeting their models about the chain’s “financial income statement”
the entire space is priced on future potential growth, user adoption & having scale for more than the 20k of us here you bozos
$APE stimmy in full effect and as usual
@GiganticRebirth
was months early. NFTs launch tokens, profits are sticky to the ecosystem, repeat. NFT marketcap v tokens suggests the wealth created from NFTs is just beginning
@Timccopeland
@AkadoSang
are you telling me they released a 42 page report with the scary headline "Illicit Finance Risk Assessment of Decentralized Finance" only to conclude that it still most commonly occurs with fiat
the most anticipated launch of '24 arguably rugs retail capital that was locked for months to years inflating the metrics which increased pre-launch valuation massively rewarding VCs & team
poetic that the same VCs cope & complain about retail liking memecoins, fascinating innit
non-transferable airdrop✅
most tokens go to VCs✅
vesting starts immediately for VCs✅
tiny airdrop alloc✅
points trading encouraged but traders get rugged✅
spend a lot of effort banning VPNs✅
insiders know the precise block number of snapshot✅
it’s so over

easy to take health & family for granted (especially during trending markets) until it affects you, haven't been as active here or responsive in chats the last few weeks
mom has been dealing w/ surprise unknown nerve issue but got out of house for first time this month today,
@blknoiz06
people really tried to psyop themselves into thinking these guys will understand memecoins, culture, L2s, restaking, bridging, nfts, etc. better than us so the edge will be gone
clown behavior
ethbtc & soleth green, btcd down, cat coins ripping & clear broad but selective dispersion bid on alts while BTC swept crucial 60k level
market clearly acknowledging "well, we're fucked if it's not here so take a chance"
don't ever forget that at the pico lows, 16k per BTC, they tried to tell you that:
-crypto was a failed experiment, pivot to AI
-Europe was going to freeze
-Tether was a ponzi
-WW3 & recession were imminent
-8%+ inflation was permanent
-capo was right
we earned this + more 🫡
hard to verbalize how ridiculously lucky we are to be aware of & participating/investing in the next 5-10 years of crypto & AI
don't take a day for granted, things will forever be changed
this shit is going to get so insanely weird over the next few years
trump is going to shill a protocol that uses eigenlayer for 3750% apy in a presidential address & endorse polygon as the tech that can send humans to mars
prices down, but the pace of innovation and investment in crypto never stops
NFTs are dominating web2 involvement/partnerships in crypto and the underlying core infrastructure to handle hundreds of millions of users is advancing rapidly
@MoonOverlord
one of the hardest things in crypto is realizing something has multiples more in it even after selling a big win, i sold ~2.6M WIF tokens twice (bozo), eventually scaling out sub .01 buys between 20-30M market cap
a lot of times, especially in bull, being "late" is still early
@kelxyz_
rate cuts, election year, halving, dampened btc vol leading people to eth & sol, sol to eth fractals going to be shared on cnbc, firedancer, depin, payments, etc. etc.
man, we deserve this shit
hey, ya'll wanna see something funny?
ignoring the outlier induced chart crime log scale, according to the same block data sited, yesterday on-chain volume: SOL $1.1B, ETH $1.48B
go off for clicks and a "dunk" though king
seen this circulating as a dunk on my fellow SOL bros & my counter is so what? TVL is a flawed metric & would 3-4x+ that in TVL with "successful" copy/paste lending/borrowing dapps benefit anyone?
new/practical use cases still likeliest to come from SOL imo & i'd rather wager
the slightly more obscure things going to keep outperforming for longer
staking madlads TIA & TAO, brc tokens, xNFTs & backpack exchange, inscribing on BTC & buying ordinals, SOL airdrops (only 9.8k wallets eligible for jito is laughable) + ecosystem growth (BONK), etc.
saw a few tweets when i was traveling about SOL being cooked & the casino toast
in a shocking turn of events, for the 87th time this year, SOL then outperformed the majors to the upside while a coin went from 0 to 150M & the entire casino repriced higher. fascinating behavior.
governments selling billions, gox unlocking billions, gensler waging a last war on his way out
final boss energy off the charts recently, a necessary part of securing the golden bull run
soon there will be no FUD or overhangs left standing
you're weekend reading assignment is here with an overview covering *most* of the crypto ecosystem 🫡
thoughts on cyclicality, and outlining the developing sectors and ecosystems that eventually fuel the next rally in late Q3 through EoY
bankless guys & eth maxis: stop bullying us, this site has become an unbearable cesspool of hate towards ETH
also them: here’s my engagement bait unpopular opinion please reply
Feeling feisty today - here are 2 unpopular opinions:
- The 21m BTC cap will be removed and/or Bitcoin will become a PoS network
- The Bitcoin chain will be sunset and BTC the asset will survive as an ERC20 on Ethereum
These things may happen within the next 10-20 years
im trying ridiculously hard to remain bullish ETH outperformance over the next 3+ months but the only thing the ETH people talk about are SOL-based metrics, users & incentives
>be CISO at polygon
>tweet insanely misleading attention grabbing thing about competitor (SOL) that garners 100k views & 120 retweets in 5 hours
>add clarification tweet 4 hours later that original tweet is FUD, article is old, "theoretical" attack is now impossible
>profit????
Its an old research paper about a theoretical attack that has been fixed since.
Shared as its still a good read for anyone building decentralized systems.
Better to learn from other's mistakes rather than repeating yourself.
No shade at Solana, every software has bugs.
maybe vitalik & the ETH ivory tower crew should've focused on the worthless governance token that has held their defi ecosystem hostage for years while the founder leverages it to buy multiple mansions instead of a few SOL memecoins
been this way for a few weeks but USD inflows continue to only go to 3 places: ETH staking, SOL DeFi & onchain coins
ETH staking plays mainly just EigenLayer + Swell so until something changes it's the summer of SOL DeFi & the onchain trenches
SOL has been the leading risk on signal for the majority of the past ~18 months, it’s the clear cut high growth beta to the overall crypto bid
if you want your bags to go up, you want SOL & SOLBTC to go up
some ETH guys might be upset that SOL is leading, but just know that this regime is your only shot for your bags to go up in USD
what's good for Solana is good for crypto
one of the last things i did before leaving last week was buy some moo deng because i remembered the virality of fiona at the local cincy zoo
every time i sell some of this coin it goes higher & i fear i might've fumbled parts of wif 2.0 (after fumbling 4M wif tokens twice)
seeing more takes like this by the day from ETH maxis
1) ETH can't go up until they stop crying about how it's undervalued (i have bags & want it to go up too)
3) ETH went from 0 to 4k in ~8 years & is the 39th most valuable asset in the world by market cap, ofc other smaller
Kinda amazed how trendy it got in a few months to be bearish ETH. To give up on Ethereum and its L2s now would be foolish.
Nothing has changed. The last 2 years of teams building on Ethereum/L2s is so backlogged and will become increasingly obvious again as teams launch.
My
coins ripping, stocks ripping, climbed a mountain w/ my gf conquering some previous height fears & doomers are once again shambles
bless up, life is good
jokes & ETH problems aside, i think SOLETH move is likely done for a bit within the next ~week. it's clear several entities have been unloading ETH while ETF flows are strong & ETHE is running dry, sentiment reaching new ATLs
rough thought is ~2-3 months of ETH outperformance
unironically need this iggy spaces spread as far as possible
she's done more explaining/benefitting crypto in the past 30 minutes than the millions of hours of vc podcasts
current meme portfolio of market caps im willing to mention consists of BAG, MOG & ZYN, thoughts below.
up nicely on BAG, seems like the only authentic beta to wif, not selling until at least 1/10th WIF, "cat coin" sector eventually climbs higher as people increasingly cite
even if we puke from here i wouldnt change my mind on thinking most people haven't properly adapted to current market. way too much doubt, comps to previous cycle returns at this stage, left translated fear, etc.
it's evidently clear ETF flows drastically change market structure
WHALES is another example of this, sold 20-25 cents on two wallets after a 3x before further realizing the potential
as we enter increasingly bullish conditions, one of the most important things you can do is realizing when "late" or something you already sold is still early
one of the hardest things in crypto is realizing something has multiples more in it even after selling a big win, i sold ~2.6M WIF tokens twice (bozo), eventually scaling out sub .01 buys between 20-30M market cap
a lot of times, especially in bull, being "late" is still early
people keep saying this cycle will be faster, it’s the last ever, etc. but *only* 39% of financial advisors think the ETFs are even happening, 12% think never
we’re in a constant echo chamber, but important to remember that crypto is still dead to 95%+ of the world
Less than half of all advisors expect a spot bitcoin ETF in 2024
In a surprising development, only 39% of advisors believe a spot bitcoin ETF will be approved in 2024. By contrast, Bloomberg ETF analysts peg the likelihood of a January approval at 90%.
maybe im overthinking this but seems like this is the final nail in the coffin of any remaining small chance of ETF denial?
timing of it ahead of potential ETF launches signals approval & pressure of corporations/banks desire to hold/custody crypto
