Bought my third Captainz at 1.8 ETH - currently 50% down.
Funny how buying one now is significantly cheaper than minting it in January 2023. Time really changes perspectives.
Burned 10 million steaks, got $PAIN in return and ironically, it doesn’t even cover the cost of an actual steak.
Meanwhile, @0xChar has seemingly transitioned into a retweet account.
They say, “Don’t marry your bags.” And sure, that’s the logical approach. But for someone who genuinely loved being part of @Memeland, this isn’t just numbers on a screen or JPEGs, it actually hurts to watch a project with so much potential generating this sentiment across several members of its community.
I knew max-burning my steaks wasn’t going to be some grand unlock, but the thought of accumulating more for another 6 months felt pointless. So instead of waiting, I just sent it all. No regrets, just a realization.
I guess potential without action is just an illusion. It holds no value if it isn’t realized.
To put things into perspective, there are people who stacked over 1 billion steaks for months, max-burned them (800M+ steaks burned), and still ended up earning less than I did with my $KAITO airdrop… as just an average yapper.
And you know what the Kaito team does infinitely better than Memeland?
They listen to the community. They understand how to communicate properly. They ship at lightning speed because they know that true mindshare dominance doesn’t come from just memes and hype - it comes from action and product.
Ahoy.
To the @Memeland Team,
At the end of the day, holding on has become difficult. Not because we stopped believing, but because, despite all we’ve given, we’ve been left behind. Abandoned.
I have always pushed hard for Memeland. You know that. I stood by it through every phase, every challenge. But there comes a moment when you have to say: enough.
@9gagceo tells holders that if they don’t want to stay, they should leave. And that’s fair. But what about those of us who did want to stay? Those who chose to trust the team? We weren’t looking for an exit, we were forced into one. And that’s not right.
The problem isn’t just that things have changed. It’s that things have been left behind. Petsland, Islandz, even the Captainz art—all of it was supposed to be part of Memeland’s journey. But the priority has shifted, and now it’s all about @MemeStrategy —something many of us simply don’t care about.
Memeland was supposed to be an NFT project. Not just any project—the best one. But right now, there’s nothing left of that.
And then there’s Stakeland. Many trusted it would help balance the devaluation of the token. Many believed in it. But in reality, it only benefits the same people as always. It doesn’t work as it should. It doesn’t help those who needed it most.
There are so many things that need fixing before thinking about launching a Memestrategy. Because at its core, Memeland was an NFT project—and we liked being that. That’s what brought us together. That’s what made us different.
And look, I’m not selling. I can’t. Memeland is a part of me, and I still believe in what it could be. Never gonna give up. But that doesn’t mean this doesn’t hurt. Because it does. More than it should.
This isn’t about FUD. It’s about wanting Memeland to be the best version of itself. The version we all fell in love with. Because despite everything, we still care. And that’s why this matters.
Memeland ❤️

Reading the timeline about TRUMP is such an in-your-face reminder that you’ll never have “enough” if you don’t have enough right now
The amount of cope and agony from people who literally have a networth well into the tens of millions about missing another trade and another opportunity to make “more” is wilding
If you have $1m and don’t feel like you have enough, you probably won’t feel like you do at $5m or $10m
If you have $100k and don’t feel like you have enough, you probably won’t feel like you do at $500k or $1m
If you have $10k and don’t feel like you have enough, you probably won’t feel like you do at $50k or $100k.
And so on.
I heard a great mindset hack the other day that I think is applicable to times like this:
Whenever something bad or unexpected happens or occurs, and you feel bad, do one of two things
Ask yourself “can I do something about it?” and if you can, do something about it
If there’s nothing you can do, then think about something you have that you can be grateful for and focus on that for a moment
Kind of insane how well this works at improving your mental mood if you regularly do this

People are still sleeping on memecoin.
I'm not talking about $MEME (@memecoin) or any individual memecoins, but memecoin as a category.
What more proof do you need when the US President launches a memecoin that shoots up to $6B market cap and $30B FDV in less than a day?
Sure, there are only 475K on-chain holders of $TRUMP.
Sure, most liquidity only shifts from other coins and NFTs to $TRUMP.
Sure, most people who bought $TRUMP are probably not newly onboarded.
But it doesn't deny the YUGE attention and validation this event has created for crypto, especially memecoin. IMHO, its impact on retail is on par with, if not more than, $BTC hitting ATH or crypto ETFs getting approved.
As I was sharing at the Binance TH's "Street of the Future" panel today, I believe 99.9% of memecoins come and go, and the new ones probably go to zero faster than the old ones. However, memecoin as a category will continue growing its market and mind share.
A year ago, we were privileged to help launch $MEME, the namesake token of the memecoin category. (Fun fact: $MEME is the 1st result when you Google "memecoin" and the 2nd result when you Google "meme coin")
Today, we are officially launching MemePay (https://t.co/8Egdym2dxF) — the Mastercard® credit card with 0 fees, crypto rewards, 420% cashback, and more! It is probably the world's first and only memecoin-focused credit card!
Whether you have launched a memecoin or are planning to launch a memecoin, please drop a message to @Memepaycom, @0xChar, or @thisisconan if you want to get your memecoin on MemePay. Let's talk.
It's still Day 1 in our journey to bring memes and memecoins to more people.
FUD or no FUD, we sail on. 🏴☠️
