[M2 @Amer1can_Barbie]

Good morning 😃

[jake @8inchsk8er]

@WhiteWhaleLabs And also oddly happy as well, not for the loss, but for the poignant opportunity to remember someone so worthy of memory. So worthy of respect and love and reverence. If only everyone was as blessed to have someone in their life so utterly worthy of their name outlasting them...

[jake @8inchsk8er]

@WhiteWhaleLabs I loved reading this story... I know nothing about you other than you must he doing very well for yourself, especially considering your origin story... But this is how i feel about my late father, so this hit me to my core. I'm so sorry for your loss...

$BRETT is quietly priming for a Giga run

Many of you will fade and continue to ignore an obvious free ride

You really think the #1 Crypto exchange in America won’t funnel 10s of billions into their ecosystem when the time is right?

2.3B ATH without CB or BASE in full swing. 10s of Billions are on the horizon

DONT GET LEFT OUT AGAIN 👏👏👏

[jake @8inchsk8er]

@ragzyart Pepe and Brett still have some billions in their future fo sho!!! LFG 😎👍

[jake @8inchsk8er]

@ragzyart Honestly i think PEPE will EASILY hit 12b again. 50b mcap easy during the next big rally to ATH or even close to ATH.

[Ragzy X @ragzyart]

IMAGINE selling $PEPE or $TROLL at 2mil mc 🤣

bc you don’t know a shit meme from something with actual value

not all memes are equal

understand why $PEPE went to 12 billion

understand why $TROLL is headed in that direction

@ragzyart What exchange/platform are you using to swap tokens on TON? where can i go to get into TON memes?

[jake @8inchsk8er]

@gamestop @CrashiusClay69 I gave up playing fortnite, such a time and money suck.... But ngl if they put a Brett character skin into the game i'd go back and pkay as Brett for awhile in a heartbeat hahaha 😂👍

[Crash @CrashiusClay69]

Been going on walks more and getting in the sun

Helps a lot more than u think to get out there and walk

I find it boring af

But it makes u look more lean

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

If we are truly evaluating coins/tokens based on the questions I raised in my original post, here are a list of my favorites. Naturally, this list is no where near conclusive. Do not be offended if I left off your favorite coin.

1. bitcoin:native . The original vision was for payments. As has happened countless times throughout human history the market saw a better use case in a finite store of value product. More gold can be mined. More oil can be found. More fiat dollars printed. But BTC will always be BTC.

2. hyperliquid:native - for me this qualifies. It does have broader utility (staking to reduce fees on trading, with tiers to appease even the smallest of traders). True, its only utility for Hyperliquid traders but combined with the structural design of massive buybacks it pushes it up a category for me. I do NOT count the "utility" of paying gas fees on HyperEVM as this is a case where $50 in tokens is a lifetime of gas for most people. I also do not count the other uses of the token as utility as those use cases are not scaleable to a broader audience. But real life discounts for traders plus an aggressive buyback mechanism = category bump for me.

3. $AERO - this is a strong ownership of flow type token. A caveat: you need to lock, vote, actively participate to extract the maximum potential from owning this coin. Bigger caveat: do the math. Is expected ROI from your share of 100% of protocol trading fees a "good buy" at current prices, or is this a 10 year ROI path. But structurally, it fits the bill.

4. $TUNA - Disclosure: I'm one of the largest holders/stakers. 100% of protocol revenue distributed to stakers. Ask the same question as AERO. Does current protocol revenue give you a earnings path considering current token price. Not really. My $TUNA bet has always been a forward thinking one based on my own financial projections on the business, knowing their tech, knowing their team, and most importantly knowing their founder who is one of maybe a dozen good, honest people in all of crypto.

5. $GMX - I've never traded this one but if I'm being fair, it does qualify. Staked GMX earns a share of protocol fees and there exists a protocol buyback mechanism. But again, just because revenue is actually shared doesn't make it a good buy. It's time to break out the calculator and do some math.

There are others but you get the idea.

Why did I leave out ETH? The recent reduction in gas fees. I still consider it a Blue Chip asset. ETH will always be Queen to BTC's King status.

In summary:

BTC has seen global adoption as a store of value with a finite supply. HYPE has scaleable utility to the average trader + aggressive buybacks. AERO shares revenue, but you're signing up for a job. TUNA has the cleanest approach with 100% of revenue given to stakers, but is a bet on the future revenue increase of the protocol. GMX has an interesting mechanism of partial revenue share plus buybacks. All should be evaluated based on current market price, realistic ROI potential + timeline.

You would not buy a stock just for the dividend rate if you expected your losses in a stock's price to outweigh your dividend earnings. The same should be applied in crypto.

@WhiteWhaleLabs This is fantastic, and i'm honoured my question was valid enough for a follow up post! 😄 I was hoping Aero would be in there somewhere tbh haha... How do you feel about MORPHO out of curiosity? Alot of people compare it to Aero

[jake @8inchsk8er]

@WhiteWhaleLabs Not ask the obvious dumb dumb question, since i know how people latch onto hype trains... But could you give some examples of cryptos that have been GOOD examples in recent past? In a pool of swirling crap, are there any that historically have been examples of what you speak of?
