I wrote this post mid last year before some of the biggest movements in financial history. I'd be lying if I expected all of the crashes in crypto and the surge in Gold, but one thing remains clear to me: Crypto is inevitable and 2026 is the last chance to establish quality DeFi.
DeFi has endless possibilities; bringing in world wide infrastructural changes, institutions onboarding and the retail ( normie ) bridging. I will be focusing on the retail side in this post.
$SAN has every ingredient required to not only make a difference in the real world with charity donations but to stand the test of DeFi time. You have:
A new Shiba, ready for the next DeFi cycle,
An inspirational leader in @kantaro0925, leading the way and acting as a pseudo bridge between the retail normie and Crypto.
A non PvP environment with a real community that are invested not only in the success of the project but also SAN and Kantaro's journey.
2026 is the year of crypto. Retail cannot afford to not be involved in crypto after this cycle. The world as we know it is changing in real time and they will all be looking for something relatable to help get them started. $SAN ticks all of these boxes. SAN and Kantaro quite literally have millions of followers already on socials.
She's also goddamn adorable. 😁

This DeFi Cycle will not be the same as the past.
Before: BTC pumps legitimised DeFi Degens faith in Crypto; BTC Dom drops and ETH carried DeFi to new highs. Fewer tokens, newer ideas, endless innovations.
Now: Inifinite chains, Institutionally led BTC and Bluechip movements backed by legislation, firmer banking rules on withdrawing fiat from crypto. Endless tokens pumped out per day, faith in DeFi wounded by old "influencers" and scammers.
We may not get the DeFi Summer 2.0 I and we all are hoping for.
What we will get however is a retail surge unlike ever before seen; Normies simply cannot afford to ignore crypto any longer... The question is, where will that money flow?
Few DeFi projects will stand the test of time, especially now. But projects with real leadership, a real narrative and a firm community backbone have a chance.
I personally only associate myself with quality projects. Over the coming days I will post about all of them and why I believe they have the chance to thrive this cycle, and beyond.
I'll keep it brief today -
$SAN ticks the boxes. I've believed in SAN since I found it at 100k MC. Kantaro is a walking legend and his influence over the normies can and is being used as a force for good. A feel good story that we can all relate to. I believe in $SAN-thing 😉
I never provide financial advice. I simply observe and put my money where my mouth is.
$SAN is a sleeping giant.
We have everything we need to be a 9 figure meme.
- Viral shiba and owner with an amazing story
- Kantaro is locked in with us. Literally multiple posts a day
- Supply control and a community that believes in the long term vision
- Endless content
- Resilience because surviving 1.5 years with all the shit that has happened in the market is proof that we have conviction
The only thing missing is a catalyst. Which can come at anytime.
We can literally candle to $40-50M anytime. Mainstream media has picked up on us before. I don’t see why we won’t have another opportunity again.
$SAN is that asymmetric frontrunner you’ve been searching for all along
@NFTeed@newstart_2024 I think thats whats happening now honestly. Dentist told me it'll never straighten up, this was a few years ago. Fast forward to now, it clearly carried on growing, punctured the molar next to it and now I think its still growing out. Haha.
@NFTeed@newstart_2024 The xray you showed above might aswell be mine. Happened to me, grew straight into the molar next to it causing a massive hole beneath the gum line. Sadly had to lose that molar but kept all 4 wisdom, tho that offending one is still impacted.

@balls@UKDisseminator Extremely excited to officially be involved in $BALLS. The Defi landscape needs a project like this to bring back some energy and fun to a space that sorely needs it, now more than ever.
This is step one of bridging web 2 and web 3. Let’s do this right 🫡
@SNovaVentures@UKDisseminator@balls Very excited to be joining the Balls team in a more official capacity as consultant alongside Andy. We will help spearhead $BALLS to the next level and bring about the next DeFi meta - one that will truly showcase how Web 2 and Web 3 can be built and can work together 🤝🔥
Was in SA recently. Small exaggeration in this post ( some of the lights worked, not many though! )
Sounds about right otherwise. There are still some nice places I visited in Johannesburg. I stayed in a walled off community and every house in there still had essentially prison bars sectioning off different rooms of the house to stop burglars getting too far in.
You'd hear house alarms going off every night. It's just normal apparently. Every white individual I spoke to had some story about being burgled, though they have a great attitude in general and seemed to almost laugh it off, as though its just an expected thing.
Anyways, no plans to return any time soon.
@TheDJDegen @InnoviaTrust Builders build, regardless of the market. You love to see it. Keep it up @InnoviaTrust 🔥
Shoutout to @TheDJDegen too for being a giga chad 🫡
