you get a small window of opportunity at the beginning of bull markets to position while everyone else is asleep at the wheel before the herd comes in with volume
right now is that time
I’ll admit that supporting this ecosystem was an absolute blunder on my part. The team promised “massive marketing efforts” for the World Cup and pretty much did nothing. We all asked for a marketing push since Q4 2025. All we got was “soon”. It’s the second game of the group stage and still nothing. $FUN at ATLs basically says the entire story.
If you've been in this space long enough, you have probably been sandwiched by jaredfromsubway.
No doubt you've heard of him.
Today, he was beaten at his own game to the tune of ~$14M.

No person with a meaningful amount of crypto is selling it to fund their SPACEX buys. Maybe the dumbest narrative I’ve ever heard.
Yeah, ppl held crypto thru all this to dump it to buy the $1.5 trillion Spacex IPO. If you believe this, you’re a moron, there are infinite other spots to get liquidity for ppl with money.
@0xSweep it would be interesting to measure the biological age impact of crypto versus other professions to evaluate if it’s an accelerate of aging processes
instead of watching 2 hours of Netflix tonight, watch this 12-minute Nvidia Computex 2026 keynote from Jensen Huang
it's the clearest explanation I've seen of where AI agents, robots, and personal computers are actually heading
useful whether you've never built an agent or have been using Claude, Chatgpt, Kimi every day for the past year
and if you want to see how China is already running 1 trillion parameter — the complete guide to 7 free Kimi Skills is waiting below too.
Nick explains how he turned $1,900 into $1,000,000 on Bored Apes in 2021
"I had like 30 grand in cash that I could put into the NFT space. I bought one of the shitty ones, a MeBit, that was like $12,000. Just fucking burned basically. Then I got an Art Block that did well and then I got a Bored Ape for $400. Then by the time the floor went to like $1,500 I bought another one."
"I remember telling my girlfriend at the time, I lied to her about buying it. Instead of $440 I told her I got it for $400 because I felt guilty about spending this much money on an NFT."
"There were people on the timeline that I was following that were big NFT people. Pranksy was one of them. He bought like 250 of them and basically set the floor. Him and Jimmy.eth were the two people that kind of built that entire thing. They controlled the supply by buying all of it. And they were just whales and I saw them tweeting about it."
"I'd gone on a research thing over the past three or four months diving into this and was like okay these people know what they're talking about. I'm going to follow them into this. If you're early enough you see the patterns. Historically all of my money in my life has come from being a first or second wave to a trend. You end up seeing these people doing interesting things and you just get in."
A guy opened a site and asked for donations to get a Punk.
In return, donators got NFT with a single, colored dot.
Degens filled the bar in 1h and owner got the Punk while dots priced 0.
Maybe i should just open donation for a lambo, looks like an easy mode.
why are we not seeing NFTs go parabolic like what we saw in 2021?
it’s because everyone here who didn’t get 0’d in the bear, more or less, understands “the game”
• taking profits at reasonable %’s
• much more cautious with liquidity
• no delusion
So that means every NEW nft project and even in some regards memecoins will never see insane FPs or MCs because everyone here today will just take profits and move on😂
We need new delusional bulls again😂
(Favorite clip from the stream today)
So when do you think we find out who the new owners are?
I’ve been holding 10 Clone X since the announcement first came out.
Seems like they’re back from the bottom of 0.23.
Potentially a gamba here. If the right owners take over here, I can easily see this floor running hard.
Let’s see how this ages
I turned $2,000 into $1.4M in NFTs.
Then watched most of it round trip back to zero.
Painful.
So when people in the comments say they’ve got PTSD from the space, I get it.
I lived it.
But this cycle is different for one reason.
For the first time, we have a real runway for performance and one cycle of receipts.
Five years deep and the best projects are still here.
Teams still building.
Top artist still selling work.
Historical collections still trading.
Check NFTScan.
Over 70% of assets in many top collections haven’t moved in 4+ years.
If this was Bitcoin, Michael Saylor would already be ordering the balloons.
Like Punk6529 said:
The holders shape the token. The token shapes the holders.
This market doesn’t need mania. Just a small rise in demand.
A stronger Ethereum price and the right collections move violently.
It’s already starting with phygital.
Digital collectibles have lower friction, better liquidity, stronger social signalling, and no counterfeits.
Most people will miss this cycle through denial and being in the wrong assets.
So I put together an NFT guide:
21 low-entry, risk-adjusted plays for this cycle.
Learn from my scars.

There was something magical about NFTs in 2021
A kid with 0.08 ETH could mint something random on a Tuesday and be sitting on life-changing money by Friday
Was it fun? Absolutely
Was it completely insane? Also yes
Run it back please.
NFTs are on a HEATER rn😮💨
• Blue chips are all up double some TRIPLE percentage
• New Art NFT mints sending pass 1 ETH
• New NFT/art projects absolutely HYPED up
• Otherside NFT mint SENDS to 14K ape or 1 ETH
• Grail BAYCs being bought for six figs AGAIN
NFTs ARE BACK😮💨🔥
NFT trading volume is the lowest its been since things first started heating up with CryptoPunks in early 2021
but for the first time since the crash started, there isn't any marketplace farming, which means less artificial trading pushing the floors down
We also have enforceable royalties on the contract level now and blockchain upgrades that have really brought gas fees down overall
The bottom is in
If I had $50-100k in crypto
I would literally spend my whole day on HIP-3 trading small illiquid markets
Still so many inefficiencies there, it's EASY to make money
It has been live for +6 months now
You have ZERO excuse
