2026 New Years Resolutions:
- Accumulate HDX
- Find a way to explain to my wife what cryptocurrency is without ‘mansplaining’
- Blame ChaosDAO for something
- Argue more on Twitter (but not with AI bots)
- Sub 5 handicap

Let’s not waste it

Since I joined X 5 years ago, the S&P 500 has outperformed internet coins

Generationally bad bet by me I fear. (Still buying more)

@1xGiraffe @hydration_net Don’t forget the most important feature where Ben can assign pokemon emojis to your wallet address in the omniwatch if you’re nice to him

Moved into FUT for the opening game, have noticed over previous campaigns that the strategy is to ride each time up until just before match expiration and then dump in favor of the next team.

Will be trying out this new strategy during Blast rivals. FUT -> Faze -> Astralis

[Nova Wallet @NovaWalletApp]

Just 1 hour until Nova Shots opens up for the BLAST Bounty.
Most of you will swap into the favourites like FURIA and Vitality.
What's the winning player’s strategy from BLAST Rivals in November? 🤔
They traded hundreds of times to take advantage of the map win bonus.
1/2

What is Nova Shots?

Nova Shots is a free-to-play, live prediction game for https://t.co/T56swhYOmB Counter-Strike tournaments built on the Polkadot and Hydration blockchains.

The game mechanics work similarly to a stock market, but for CS teams – in-game token values rise and fall as players make predictions by trading their Team Tokens.

Play actively and strategically – adjust your predictions as the matches unfold to take advantage of the 20% bonus tokens for each correct map pick – the best way to climb the leaderboard.

Nova Shots is completely free-to-play; the in-game tokens have no real-world value. No purchase necessary.

@ahdamoh @TheKusamarian Good idea, but missing one.

Hydration, widely regarded as the gold standard in crypto decentralized exchange technology, submitted its runtime upgrade v43 which would do some mega nerd shit.

Also in voting is the acquisition of $200k of jitoSOL by the Hydration treasury.

@Johto_Nakamoto Just offering up content suggestions, big fan of the cryptic exposé writing style obv warranted the story is accurate.

[Barnabas (🐍,🐍) @BarneyyDX]

@Johto_Nakamoto @Polkadot Missed opportunity to continue the bit and do like “Gavin knows a lot about “pipelining” innit”

[Barnabas (🐍,🐍) @BarneyyDX]

@Fiskantes Wait, So I can’t yay/nay my way into people buying my investments :(

[Barnabas (🐍,🐍) @BarneyyDX]

People who are upset that some got paid during this dark age shouldn’t be listened to, there was equal opportunity and even KryptosChain got paid once or twice

[Barnabas (🐍,🐍) @BarneyyDX]

My take on this: great leaders in history created things by being uncompromising assholes with vision. Pink Dot had no leader just many voices executing what they thought the vision was supposed to be. Black Dot, hopefully, brings an uncompromising asshole with a vision.

[Giotto @giottodf]

My take on this: it's not really about cutting costs or some rumour, this is an indicator that leadership has decided that on chain governance should not be a main focus so it doesn't deserve an outlet

Bullish long term, but first we have to hit the bottom

[Barnabas (🐍,🐍) @BarneyyDX]

I just can’t help but think if this is the branding vision Dan Reecer had in mind

[Barnabas (🐍,🐍) @BarneyyDX]

Idk, I think it’s pretty cool to try to build a new internet

But I also think Silicon Valley is a top 10 show all time

[Barnabas (🐍,🐍) @BarneyyDX]

He mutters to himself as he goes back to figuring out what break even is on his Polkadot tokens while his mom tells him about how xrp is up 650% since she bought it

[Barnabas (🐍,🐍) @BarneyyDX]

They don’t get it

They might never get it, but that’s the risk. The contrarian is always wrong until they are right.

[Barnabas (🐍,🐍) @BarneyyDX]

Slowly, then all at once.

What is a DAT?

I swear I just learned what a KOL was and now there’s a new acronym fud that I’m not hip to

I recommend muting bear posting chart watchers.

I have done the needful for us and bookmarked their propaganda so we can point and laugh in the future
