I’ve been here since 2020 and I promise you, the cycle always repeats. OGs sit so comfortably in this environment.
Knowledge is power

I still don’t think much has changed fundamentally around ethereum:0x44b28991b167582f18ba0259e0173176ca125505 .
The same things that made me bullish a month ago are still true today.
The community remains one of the strongest I’ve seen this cycle, especially the Chinese community, which has been relentlessly building through every market condition.
We’re already seeing products emerge. @upegduel is proof of that. It’s live, people are using it, and it works surprisingly well for something built so early in the lifecycle.
The tech itself is still the first of its kind.
More importantly, every project that gets built on Uniswap v4 Hooks helps shine more light on the entire category. Whether it’s $SATO, $LO0P or future hook experiments, attention flowing into Hooks ultimately benefits the flagship project of the narrative.
My only real concern today is that the market still values uPEG almost entirely as a token.
The NFT side of the ecosystem remains largely ignored.
uPEG and mPEG aren’t just assets. They’re collectible onchain objects with rarity, provenance, ownership history and visual identity. Most participants still haven’t connected those dots yet.
Right now the market sees the token.
Eventually it will understand the token + NFT combination.
To me, that’s not a structural problem.
It’s an education problem.
And those tend to fix themselves over time.

So recap of recent $upeg things
1- stays strong when market collapses
2-uniswap makes a devcon tweets and it's all about pixelated unicorns
3-Niko explains they target 100x the TAM in the future (what would unleash such explosive growth hey:)?)
4-Niko explains huge projects like Hype are launched in bears and you just gotta hodl.
... at some point... you gotta think for 1 min straight uninterrupted by AI goyslop doom scrolling...
and I revealed there is a uniswap deployer link on chain...
The financial incentive, the motive, the ability, the coding, the hints. the onchain link (I'd assume is voluntary), they have given EVERYTHING they can to make the few last degens who can hold a token with a dream wealthy.
"and we had to stealth launch it as a NFT/token to make distro perfect whilst showing hooks are the future of defi on uniswap, and we made degens millionaires in the process"
Let’s be honest.
ethereum:0x44b28991b167582f18ba0259e0173176ca125505 didn’t get hit because the innovation stopped working.
The entire Hook Summer ecosystem got smoked.
That’s what happens when new infrastructure launches before the market fully understands it.
We all knew this wasn’t going to be a straight line up.
Reducing supply is great.
mPEG makes that even stronger.
But supply reduction alone doesn’t create demand.
The next challenge isn’t technical.
It’s making people want to own a uPEG.
And more importantly, making people want to own the NFTs.
The hook works.
The wrapping works.
The provenance works.
The supply mechanics keep improving.
Now it’s time to grow the community and increase desirability.
Because the biggest winners in NFTs were never just the rarest assets.
They were the assets people desperately wanted to own.
That’s the next phase.
