Not because it's useful.
Not because it has revolutionary technology.
Not because it solves a problem.
Quite the opposite.
My thesis is that if we enter a prolonged bear market, Useless becomes the most relatable narrative in crypto.
Think about it.
The NFT guy got burned.
The DeFi guy got burned.
The AI guy got burned.
The gaming guy got burned.
The infrastructure guy got burned.
The memecoin guy got burned.
Every cycle creates new promises.
Every cycle leaves behind disappointed participants.
And eventually everyone arrives at the same emotional destination:
"That was useless."
That's why I think the addressable market for this narrative is bigger than people realize.
It isn't targeting one niche.
It isn't targeting one ecosystem.
It isn't targeting one meta.
It's targeting a feeling.
A feeling that almost every participant in crypto has experienced at some point.
The lower prices go, the stronger that feeling becomes.
The longer the chop lasts, the more relatable the meme becomes.
Most narratives require optimism.
This one requires exhaustion.
Most assets need believers.
This one needs people who feel like they've been lied to.
And bear markets create those people in abundance.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe it round-trips.
Maybe it trades below my entry.
But every bear market has runners.
Assets that perfectly capture the mood of the cycle.
My bet is that if crypto enters a true period of pain (which it already has), the asset that best captures the collective emotion of the market won't be AI, DeFi, NFTs, or gaming.
It'll be the one asset that simply says what everyone is already thinking.

History doesn't repeat, but usually rhymes.
This PA is a mirror of the last full cycle.
- $BTC Topped in OCT/NOV 2022
- $BTC Topped out in SEPT/OCT 2026
June 2022, looks a lot like today June 2026.
This should be our final leg lower before chopping (bottoming out) into the rest of 2026.
Cash is King, the opportunities will be endless.
All you have to do is Survive. π
So far ~58 -> ~65 β
It could chop in this mini range a little while longer.
I do think it's more probable that it doesn't and just goes lower.
BTC is weak, ETH is weak.. ALTs are weak.
No strength anywhere across the board ATM.
A lot has happened recently, and before I move on, I want to clear the air one final time.
For over a year and a half, AOB stood on a few simple principles: integrity, accountability, and protecting the people inside the community.
We didn't allow gambling. We didn't encourage shilling low-cap coins to members. We didn't chase every opportunity at the expense of people's financial well-being. Sometimes that made us unpopular, but I believed then, and still believe now, that leaders should prioritize people over profit.
The situation that ultimately led to AOB's downfall started when I removed a member after receiving multiple complaints over an extended period regarding conduct and integrity. It wasn't personal. It wasn't because of a disagreement. It was a decision I felt was necessary to uphold the standards AOB was built on.
I chose not to publicly air out private details or attack anyone's reputation. Unfortunately, that also meant many people only heard one side of the story.
From there, narratives formed. I was called controlling, too strict, a dictator, and many other things. People are entitled to their opinions, but I know why I made the decisions I made, and I can live with them.
What hurt most wasn't criticism. It was discovering how many conversations were happening behind closed doors that never happened directly with me. People I had supported, advocated for, helped create opportunities for, and stood beside for over a year suddenly had plenty to say once the environment became difficult.
At the same time, I was dealing with major personal and financial changes. I began selling assets and stepping away from positions I had held for a long time. That decision had nothing to do with a lack of belief in the ecosystem. The reality is I needed a reset in my own life.
I've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, countless hours, and an enormous amount of energy into this ecosystem and its people. Not because anyone asked me to. Because I believed in it.
I have made bad trades. I have made mistakes. I am human.
What I have never done is scam anyone, steal from anyone, manipulate anyone, or intentionally harm anyone for personal gain.
When AOB came to an end, I made the decision to transfer community assets, distribute what I felt was right, donate the remainder to charity, and fully separate myself from the situation. Not because anyone forced me to, but because I wanted a clean break and a fresh start.
Looking back, I learned a lot.
I learned that leadership can be lonely.
I learned that not everyone who stands beside you during good times will stand beside you during difficult times.
I learned that intentions can be misunderstood.
And I learned that sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is let go.
I don't hate anyone involved. I don't wish failure on anyone. I genuinely hope everyone succeeds.
As for me, this chapter is closed.
I'm grateful for the people who supported me, the lessons learned, and the experiences along the way.
God does everything for a reason.
I'm moving forward with a clear conscience, no resentment, and no desire to continue reliving the past.
To everyone who was part of the journey: thank you.
I wish you nothing but success, peace, and happiness.
Upwards and onwards. ποΈβ£οΈ
