WE'RE GONNA WIN SO MUCH, YOU MAY EVEN GET TIRED OF WINNING. AND YOU'LL SAY, 'PLEASE DUCKY, PLEASE. IT'S TOO MUCH WINNING. WE CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. PLEASE DUCKY, IT'S TOO MUCH
A lot of people saying SOL today feels like it did at $8. What a wild thing to be saying.
At $8, we were all concerned that the chain was actually dead:
- FTX held a substantial amount of SOL.
- FTX had been hacked.
- $8 SOL made a 51% attack realistic.
- Every bridged asset was depegged.
- Projects went from 8/9 figure treasuries to zero.
- Users had lost their life savings.
We were standing on deaths doorstep.
Today:
- The chain has had no issues in a long time.
- The ecosystem is thriving.
- Chain revenue is the highest in all of crypto.
- Institutions are here.
- RWAs are growing.
Crypto is cyclical. We will be back again like we have never been back before.
@solana has never been better positioned.
CIA and Mossad and pedo elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment blackmail ring out of Puerto Rico and caribbean islands. They are going to frame me with a laptop planted by my ex gf who was a spy. They will torture me to death.

The other day i responded to a crypto news article that claimed the biggest threat to crypto was a looming US government shutdown.
I pushed back.
The biggest threat to crypto isn’t governments.
It’s crypto itself - specifically, our collective refusal to demand higher standards from our builders.
But what does that actually mean?
It means we’ve built an ecosystem that rewards the worst behavior imaginable, then act outraged when the worst behavior keeps happening.
Take the maximum extraction machine.
Launches optimized for speed, hype, and asymmetry. Insiders get positioned early. “Community” exists just long enough to provide exits. Then we reset, rename it, and do it again. The system is simply working in coordination with incentive alignment.
Then there’s centralized control hiding behind the broader foundational promise of decentralization.
We love the narrative of self-sovereignty, yet route nearly all meaningful volume through a small set of venues that are functionally untouchable. Accounts frozen. Withdrawals throttled. “Risk control” invoked with no transparency, no appeal, no timeline. Whether every case is justified or not misses the point - unilateral power with zero recourse is a fundamental failure to deliver on the promise of crypto.
Which brings us to market manipulation so persistent it’s become the rule, not the exception.
Spoof walls that appear and vanish. Liquidity that exists just long enough to scare price. Trigger-based cascades that turn modest moves into mass liquidations. On days like 10/10, the market doesn’t discover price organically.
And afterward, we argue about headlines as if the ecosystem design itself wasn’t the catalyst with most protocols giving a 40% or greater weighting to the price feed of a single, centralized entity that catastrophically failed.
Add to that:
VC cliffs pretending to be fair launches.
Influencers selling “conviction” while simultaneously selling into your belief.
Governance dominated by whales.
Transparency replaced with vibes and cult-like personalities.
I am damn tired of hearing "that's just crypto for you!" as if it's a mandatory part of the crypto experience. That's not good enough for me.
This is what I mean by not demanding higher standards.
Not perfection.
Not regulation theatrics.
Standards.
Transparency as default.
Real consequences for bad actors and bad venues.
Stop celebrating max extraction just because you found yourself on the right side of it this week.
And maybe - just maybe - building systems where trust is a feature, not a marketing slogan.
Crypto doesn’t die from a government shutdown.
Crypto dies when we keep normalizing and accepting how broken it really is.

$KDA officially stopped operating.
9 years of a journey and now have to announce the cessation of all business and development activities, because of running out of money and not enough strength to operate.
My journey with KDA also ends here. All my investments in KDA have lost more than 90% of their value and so has my faith in crypto, I will probably stop operating for a while to reshape everything.
It's sad to have put so much trust in a scam project like this, a few days ago they even corrected it when I discovered KDA was labeled Suspended on MEXC and now they abandoned the project to the surprise of all those who believed in the project.
