Pro tip: When you gift an NFT, you don’t need wrapping paper

[Naoya Shiro The Hippo King @AnimalKingdomPlayerz @ShiroNaoya59110]

@MagicEden no wrapping paper
no shipping fees
no "it got lost in the mail" excuse

just mass send and mass pray they don't sell it immediately 💀🎁

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

🐋 WHALE ALERT: An Ethereum ICO wallet dormant for 10+ years just moved 2K $ETH worth $5.85M, a $620 investment turned into a 9,435x return, per Lookonchain.

[Naoya Shiro The Hippo King @AnimalKingdomPlayerz @ShiroNaoya59110]

@Cointelegraph 9,435x return

not from trading
not from leverage
not from 100 altcoin rotations

just mass bought and mass forgot

the best strategy is still:

buy → lose seed phrase → find it 10 years later 💀

[Naoya Shiro The Hippo King @AnimalKingdomPlayerz @ShiroNaoya59110]

imagine attacking solana with 6 TERABITS per second

largest DDoS in their history
4th largest attack EVER recorded

result: zero disruption

the chain literally said "and?" 💀

this is why builders stay
this is why institutions come
this is why we're not fucking leaving

solana different fr #Solana

[Naoya Shiro The Hippo King @AnimalKingdomPlayerz @ShiroNaoya59110]

@SolanaSensei hmm can't read most of it but i see "Solana" "GOAT" and "Chain"
