@Cointelegraph DeFi. I think the next wave is less about chasing yields and more about building better lending and collateral markets. BTCFi is a natural extension of that, and projects like @babylonlabs_io are showing what native $BTC can do beyond simply sitting in a wallet.😉

[Shella Meydina @Shellameydina]

yes please

[KAYLA PARRILLA @kaylaparrilla]

Young people need to learn bitcoin

[borovik @3orovik]

Bitcoin will probably still go to $1 million

It just might take a few years longer

[Shella Meydina @Shellameydina]

@OtterHODL The opportunity was never just about the price. It's about the conviction.

[Ethereum Maxis @Ethereum_Maxis]

No other crypto currency has tested its holders the past 5 years like ETH.

This is why it is going to outperform everything when it bounces, at this point the ones left holding are those fully indoctrinated into the Ethereum religion.

HODL ETH TO ZERO OR VALHALLA!

That simple.

Bitcoin sentiment is this low for a reason.

They’re trying to shake out weak hands, force capitulation, and scoop up cheap Bitcoin from people who can’t handle volatility.

Buying as much Bitcoin from now until December.

@Crypto_Meastro1 qanplatform:native. I like that it's building on Ethereum's proven foundation while preserving its own technology through QVM and XLINK. I think it's a gem worth adding to your portfolio.

[Shella Meydina @Shellameydina]

@0x_iulianivg If that ever happens, it'll be one of the biggest shifts in crypto history.

I've been building DeFi for almost a decade and we went from zero to here:

- Over 300b stablecoins issued onchain
- Protocols that actually make revenue, all verifiable onchain
- Billions in stablecoins yielding interest directly onchain
- More safer ways to trade or lend (no ftx custody risk)
- Embedded wallets that bring more users and are easy to integrate (i.e. Privy)
- Fintechs and e-commerce platforms issuing stablecoins (PyUSD, SoFi, Western Union, Moneygram)
- Big fintech involvement (Stripe with Tempo)
- Fintechs integrating defi (i.e. Whop integrating Aave)
- Almost all relevant major banks and asset managers have digital asset teams and also working on tokenization, stablecoins and defi (Fidelity, BlackRock etc)
- Genious act regulating stable coins and removing uncertainty to enable fintechs and TradFi to participate
- Clarity act coming, creating more certainty for crypto and defi
- AI tools for defi security hardening and improved overall development process since early days
- EU has MiCA certainty and UK following up
- Banks banking crypto (Erebor etc) and better onramping

The industry progress has been real, and will take of course years to come to see full adoption. We are closer now than ever before, yet moving 8 billion people onchain will take time.

I think that we are in front of a moment where underlying tech is starting out-phases the crypto-native assets. It make sense for stablecoins to have bigger market caps that Bitcoin and Ethereum as world is moving onchain over time. Same thing will happen with trading and lending as more assets are tokenized and will grow directly onchain. This is net good for the ecosystem.

It seems that fintech and tradfi is doubling down on blockchain like never before.

The best way to progress is by building, and we have some of the smartest builders in the space, true believers that build with a real mission are still here.

At some point crypto, defi, stablecoins, rwas are doing to be just called finance. No tribalism, no drama just boring tech that works and scales.

[Altcoin Daily @AltcoinDaily]

there really is no reason eth couldn't hit 2k by 2027

[Shella Meydina @Shellameydina]

The next big catalyst for ETH probably isn't another narrative. It's better products and more adoption.

[Ted @TedPillows]

$ETH falls under $1,700

Also a token with not enough value capturing in the token itself.

@VitalikButerin do something about this.

[CoinGecko @coingecko]

If you're still in crypto you must be very loyal in relationships

[Shella Meydina @Shellameydina]

@TheBTCKnight @TrendingBitcoin It definitely feels like fear is showing up faster than euphoria this time around.

[Altcoin Daily @AltcoinDaily]

Buy bitcoin near the 200-week moving average.

Don't overthink it.

[Shella Meydina @Shellameydina]

Nice to see Aave V4 continuing to attract demand.

I've also been spending some time with @babylonlabs_io's TBV public testnet for native BTC-backed borrowing. It's an interesting example of how BTCFi is starting to expand around established DeFi infrastructure.

I'm curious to see how much demand this model can eventually attract.

[Watcher.Guru @WatcherGuru]

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump says he is winning by "record numbers" when it comes to affordability.

[Shella Meydina @Shellameydina]

@zengjiajun_eth That's probably the real challenge. Infrastructure is great, but people need reasons to actually use it.

[Ignas | DeFi @DefiIgnas]

Note to whoever asks in 2028, when BTC is back at $40k: yes, this was the worst crypto sentiment ever.

Worse than 2018 or Covid.

DAT ponzis are collapsing, AI is exploiting crypto assets, and AI macro stocks are pumping at the same time.

Our normie friends and Reddit traders are getting rich while we get rekt.

[Shella Meydina @Shellameydina]

@MalloryUltra what about bitcoin?
