I truly think we are about to enter the unibot / pepe stage of memes similar to last cycle
not saying one is heading to billions in a week but I don't think we are far away from memes taking center stage again
the truth is even with all the bundles, chains, vamps, multi wallets, etc there is nothing and I mean nothing on the planet, in any asset category across any industry that provides the possibility of memes
you cannot put $100 into something anywhere else and make astronomical levels of return (6figs+). this is something I believe to my soul. if you don't agree you are lying. yes you may lose 99/100, even 100/100, but the one you catch the returns are so outsized if you told anyone outside of CT the money you've seen come and go out of thin air they would throw up.
the older guard (even before my time) always cried about memes, and memes had a way worse perception pre pump fun, especially on CT. 99% of these accounts who say memes are over now etc etc after pushing them for two years would have NEVER touched a meme on ETH pre pepe. these guys were pushing infra on you that is either obsolete, doesn't exist, or no one cares. they don't even realize that the trenches have always been the most important part of crypto. while 90% of these guys left when eth hit $900 some of us were still ripping it onchain on 15k toppers. never left the game and went ballistic in 23-25. They complained this entire time, they pushed failed narratives like gamefi, zk coins, etc and missed RLB, hype, friend tech, pepe, etc. see they don't understand that we don't care about anything other than the score. we don't need to hear about the state of the trenches from guys who bought btc in their dorm on post illadelph rip for $0.13. they don't get it, they never have, they don't even know the game.
they never saw KD drop 50 at rucker. they can't relate to what it's like to watch eth at $4K with a $500 port and praying to god that your next ape is the one. that they market doesn't top before you make it.
apathy has hit an all time high, once the think pieces start coming out you know it's time to head back to the trenches
it doesn't matter if its eth base sol hyperevm tron bob or ada onchain is always the place to be
the good thing about the kids streaming themselves ripping $20K profit on 10k market cap shitcoins is that they do not care what anyone else thinks, and CT sometimes needs to wake up and realize they are old, they are not the main character anymore, no one cares what they say
trenches never die.
this doesn't mean go rip all your bread into new pairs, but don't listen to the people who tell you that this shit is over they have been saying the lights are going to cut out for years now and guess what we are still balling
at least some of us still love the game.
@anza_xyz Isnโt this very bearish from an institutional standpoint?
As far as I understand from this, latency wonโt really matter. Transaction ordering will be solely based on bribes, similar to Jito.
So essentially all arbitrage strategies are effectively wiped out.
Which detracts millions, if not billions in volume from the chain.
And 50% of all volume in traditional finance comes from Quant / HFT volume.
So rendering this impossible on @solana will scare away whatever potential the chain previously had for attracting institutional volume
I honestly donโt understand what this update solves.
Seems to cause significantly more harm than good

Introducing Constellation: a multiple concurrent proposers protocol for Solana. With proposers operating on a 50ms cycle, Constellation gives Solana the fastest protocol enforced economic tick rate of any blockchain.๐งต
probably the best thing I've heard on AI recently
twitter is just an echo chamber of mid-curves quote-tweeting the goyslop @Citrini7 article

Solana is fast and getting faster
but this speed is useless if devs can't consume data at the same speed
and that's not enough either, it must be tolerant against downtime and disconnects โ and it must be available in all major regions in the world
finally, you should not need an entire dedicated node to access it
@heliuslabs has solved all these issues
we've been testing our new system (LaserStream) for several months now and our users love it
we are finally releasing it, this week
prepare for 10x devex, on Solana and follow @heliuslabs for announcements
@tarunchitra@banteg o3-mini-high is great but too slow for daily driver
also perplexity for research >> (not a model, but regardless)
pretty spot on though
