look at adam sandler. hes a ball knower

time and place to dress up but 99% of a mans life is a tee a watch and some gymshorts

this is why i focused on creating the comfiest drippiest plain black and white tees you can have. subtle luxury, theyre nicer than your bs $400 prada tees or your money back. 100% organic cotton so youre not slamming your body with plastics and chemicals

but like 99% of the world cares about a logo. could care less i created the sickest tees and im proud of them! my son is proud of them too and that means everything.

no link you know where to get it if you want it if not

fashion is such a scam the optimal portfolio of clothing is like converse + hoodie + gym shorts + patek

@Nomaticcap My legend!

[nascimento.wtf ⚓ @nascimento_wtf]

I was an early Hyperliquid user.

Real conviction in the product before Genesis.

Based on my activity, my missed Genesis allocation would have been around 50,000 HYPE.

I missed it because I missed the separate ToS acceptance step.

That's it, and it was entirely my fault.

I'm not writing this to attack the team or claim anyone owes me something.

I just want to tell the story once, honestly, because I know I'm not the only genuine user who went through something like this.

During the claim window, I was traveling and trading mostly from mobile.

On desktop, I was using Brave with aggressive ad and popup blocking, and the Genesis Terms signature popup never really appeared for me visually.

When I saw references to "signing" or "registration," I assumed it meant connecting the wallet, logging in, or using the platform normally.

I didn't understand there was a separate, time bound acceptance step that had to be completed before the deadline.

I also wasn't checking Discord closely enough.

I work in crypto, I was busy building other crypto products, and I was spread across too many Discords, launches, projects, chats, and communities at the same time.

Sometimes important things slip.

This one slipped in a way I'll probably never forget.

What hurts is not only the tokens.

It's knowing I was there.

I was using the product.

I believed in what Hyperliquid was building.

And I still missed the final operational step.

I also want to say clearly: I understand why Hyperliquid had to run the process the way they did.

The geo restrictions, the explicit ToS acceptance, and the hard deadline were not arbitrary.

Distributing tokens to users in restricted jurisdictions, especially the U.S., could have created serious legal and regulatory exposure for the protocol.

For a project trying to build something that lasts, regulatory discipline matters more than short term optics.

Their strict process was probably part of protecting the foundation, the protocol, and the long term future of the ecosystem.

I respect that.

Onchain data tells part of the story.

Of the 310M HYPE set aside for Genesis, around 270.94M was actually claimed.

That leaves roughly 39.06M HYPE unclaimed, about 12.6% of the intended allocation.

The number of wallets behind that is harder to pin down, but estimates put it somewhere around 13,500 that never completed the claim.

Some of those were surely inactive or restricted.

But I also believe many were real users, in valid jurisdictions, who simply missed one operational step.

I was one of them.

And I kept going anyway.

After Genesis, I didn't leave.

I didn't rage quit.

I didn't switch platforms out of frustration.

I kept trading on Hyperliquid.

Since Genesis, my volume on the platform is roughly 5x what it was before.

Not as a strategy.

Not to manufacture eligibility for something that is already over.

But because the product kept earning it.

Hyperliquid is genuinely the best onchain trading experience I've used.

The execution and UX feel different.

And it is not standing still.

With HIP-3, Hyperliquid is becoming the place where the things people actually need are moving onchain.

Commodities like gold, silver, and oil that trade 24/7, even on weekends when traditional markets are closed and the news never waits.

The first onchain S&P 500 perpetual, through a real index license.

Pre IPO price discovery for companies like SpaceX, weeks before any traditional investor could touch a single share.

And when the SpaceX listing arrived and centralized venues cancelled allocations and left people empty handed, Hyperliquid just kept working.

That is the point.

Not crypto for the sake of crypto. Real markets, real access, fully onchain, without the middlemen that failed all of us before.

That is rare.

That matters independently of any allocation.

There is something personal here too.

I was on FTX when it collapsed.

I lived that.

The freeze, the realization, the gap where the money was supposed to be.

Jeff has been open that the FTX collapse was the catalyst for Hyperliquid.

He has said the team saw the problems with FTX firsthand, and that it was the moment they realized the world was ready for real DeFi.

The whole design, self custody, fully onchain, transparent vaults where nothing can hide the way it was hidden inside FTX, is a direct answer to the exact failure that burned me.

So when I say I believe in this product, it is not abstract.

I am not loyal to a logo.

I am loyal to the thing that was built as an answer to the failure I lived through.

That is also why missing Genesis stung the way it did.

I was not a tourist.

I was one of the people this was built for.

There is a phrase from Jeff that I've carried since then:
"It's critical to reward real users."

I understand now why it stays with me.

That sentence is part of why this hurts.

But it is also why I still believe the ethos here is real.

If you went through something similar, my honest view is simple:

Tell your story once.
Use the product.
Trade, build, provide liquidity, give feedback, and contribute in ways that are real.

Real contribution is the only signal that matters.

Genesis is over.

I'm not asking to reopen it.

Whether wallets like mine are ever considered in future community distributions, if those happen at all, is entirely up to Jeff and the team.

I genuinely mean that.

Even if the answer is never, I'm still here.

Because anyone who actually understands what Hyperliquid is building should want it to succeed.

Community first.

Hyperliquid.

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

[palmer // not for everyone @bitcoinPalmer]

@EVNFT i think life is about doing this either way and you just need to do it daily longside this world

made to be an example and pave the way

A city set on a hill cannot be hidden
