“Not because it’s easy…because it’s important”
The community is a project's biggest strength, and we sure do love ours.
We'd like to formally welcome @WhiteWhaleLabs to the mines. Glad to have you here.
"I believe crypto has to stop accepting “use this other tool on top of our product” as a substitute for the product itself becoming better."
I know this is probably an unpopular take, but I don’t love trading terminals.
Some of them are genuinely impressive. Insilico, TealStreet, and others have built tools that traders clearly like using. I get the appeal: cleaner layouts, hotkeys, better execution controls, more intuitive workflows, multi-venue access, and less time fighting some exchange UI that looks like it was designed by a high school intern.
But that is also my first problem.
Trading terminals often become a crutch for bad venue UI/UX.
If the only reason I need a third-party terminal is because the venue I trade on has a terrible interface, missing features, a friction-filled trading experience, or bad mobile design...then the venue should fix that.
Builders are supposed to build.
The job is not finished just because a venue scales, gets volume, and starts printing fees. I believe crypto has to stop accepting “use this other tool on top of our product” as a substitute for the product itself becoming better.
A terminal can be a great tool. But when the terminal becomes necessary to function for your trading needs, that is often an indictment of the venue.
My second issue is security.
Even if an API key does not have withdrawal permissions, a trade-enabled API key is not nothing. It can place orders. It can close positions. It can open positions. It can cancel orders. It can even fire off when you don't intend it to (nor not at all when it's supposed to) depending on how your terminal deals with error-handing & retries.
The cleanest execution path is usually the shortest execution path. Every extra layer introduces another dependency, another permission set, another software surface, another place where something can break, lag, misfire, or be compromised.
That does not mean every terminal is unsafe. Many of these teams clearly take security seriously. But it does not mean you're not volunteering for additional risk.
And there is always additional risk when you add another party between you and final execution.
The third issue is cost.
Terminals have to make money somehow. Maybe it is subscription revenue. Maybe it is exchange deals. Maybe it is rebates. Maybe the cost is not obvious on the surface, but nothing in this space is magically free. If a tool is routing flow, that flow has value. Entire companies are built around the value of order flow.
And traders also need to be honest about execution.
A lot of the terminal features people love are built around convenience. These features are useful, but they can also push people toward taker flow, slippage, and worse execution if they do not understand exactly what is happening under the hood.
Market orders are convenient. Convenience is usually expensive.
So my issue with terminals is not that they should not exist. On the contrary if any tool you use improves your life, you should use it. Maybe after reading this you want to go try a couple for yourself.
Use whatever tool makes you more profitable. I am not here to tell grown adults they shouldn't use a terminal.
But I do think traders should themselves the question:
Am I using this because it genuinely gives me an edge?
Or am I using it because the venue I trade on never finished building the product I actually need?
Because those are not the same thing.

Not sure who needs to hear this but…
You should be playing for profit, not points.
Support for our content guy, super happy to see White Whale Meme in the series!
just airdropped supply to solangeles friends @onchainrapist @Piana100x @DipWheeler @a1lon9 and @WhiteWhaleLabs
more airdrops coming soon now while im doing more airdrops first lemme drop some episode 1 spoilers
Hot take: The DEX war is fighting the wrong enemy. This should not be DEX vs DEX. This should be DEX vs CEX (Binance).
Can you imagine if more DEXs used Hyperliquid's Order Book? The fee structure on HL means there's plenty of margin to share for the sake of a DEX being profitable. Pick the dominant DEX order book, everyone bridge into it or build on top of it.
Yes, this doesn't give any benefit to someone's native L1. But as is all too often the case in crypto we are fighting the wrong battle. And the forces that truly threaten our existence benefit from that. Imagine the glee felt in the Binance board room as they look down from their tower and see the decentralized folks all fighting with each other for table scraps.
Happy weekend, from the depths!
GWW my friends, happy monday!
May the 4th be with you. From the depths.
GWW from the depths.
One of the most profit-saving things you can remind yourself in all of crypto is simple this:
"No, I don't HAVE to press any buttons today"
GWW and happy week whales!
@MEXC Here…I fixed it
Welcome back !
Part of my journey of grounding myself is returning to what I'm good at. The thing that has made me the most money in this space.
I'm back on Hyperliquid.
Before 10/10 I had over a 90% success rate. I've learned many valuable lessons since then. Adapted new risk management strategies. Rebuilt my confidence.
I've spun up entirely new addresses. I will never make them public. I will never post anything specific (positions, PnL cards - anything that could give a clue as to what my addresses are). Being observed was not healthy for my trading.
I tried to deny myself a return to being a trader. Spent countless days/weeks/months searching for something different.
A few important rules I'm carrying forward:
1. Never let crowd-think overpower your well-earned intuition / conviction.
2. Assume "10/10 or worse" when deploying your risk management strategy.
and perhaps the most important one
3. You don't have to reach your financial goals in one season. One bull market. A single financial quarter.
Looking back, the majority of my "100M PnL Goal" I had set for myself I realized that 98% of that was achieved in a fourth month time frame.
Which is absolutely insane. And completely unnecessary.
Now, my goals are different. I care less about an arbitrary number and more about an amount that secures a comfortable - but not lavish - life for myself and my family.
My crypto financial instruments are split into two parts:
Part A: Buy BTC spot and chill. Cold storage. Not allowed to touch it for any purpose. No wrapping it and throwing it into a lending pool. No keeping it on a CEX. Now allowed to touch it for any reason whatsoever.
Part B: Resume doing what I'm good at. On a scale and pace that doesn't scream "insanity". This is walking around money. This scratches the need I have to "be productive".
It's a mindset shift. Last year I didn't really close any positions that weren't six or seven figure profit. But in the last couple of weeks I've been back at it I've closed several 4 & 5 figure profit positions. And more importantly maintained a 100% success rate.
And MOST importantly I'm at peace. No pressure to make it all at once. No incessant chart watching, worrying about my positions. No pressure of knowing all of CT is watching my positions.
I'm happy to be home.

This is for you @WhiteWhaleLabs
GWW, happy Monday from the depths. Monday tried to test us, but the pod woke up hungry. We don’t swim with the current. We are the current.

This is your intern speaking to you.
I’m sorry if you felt neglected, but I didn’t want to push too hard with the content, also out of respect for WW’s silence.
After today, I’ve decided to come back 100% active on this page, and start giving all of you new videos again, fun initiatives I can come up with, everything possible.
I’m a content maker, and I’m going to give this page my very best.
I wish you a great weekend with this video, so you never forget the emotions we felt.
I’ll see you again on Monday, with a new video, a new piece of content.
If you have any requests, ideas, or suggestions, I’m here.
From the depths.
@WhiteWhaleLabs we love you.
The Memecoin Journey - A Debrief (Secrets Revealed)
On December 7th, I made what hindsight has shown to be a huge mistake. I CTO’d a meme someone had made using my image/likeness without my authorization or participation. I did so with the purest of intentions. Ironically, I said often in the beginning that one of two things was going to happen: I would personally end up being everyone’s exit liquidity, or it was going to absolutely moon.
Turns out both things can be true at once.
What Happened
While it is true that I’ve personally put more money into the trenches than any single individual ever, with hundreds of thousands of dollars given away and multiple millions invested into the chart, I could not escape the curse I was warned about: people will blame you for every red candle. The mental health strain, combined with real-life issues that are still ongoing, became too much to bear. I would not recommend running a coin to anyone, and I understand now why 90% of people who launch coins are simply in it for the max extraction game. I saw firsthand how this space can corrupt people, and I now understand how people end up taking on a villain arc. I was never tempted to take on that villain arc. It’s just not in my DNA. But for the first time, I could understand how people get to that place.
What happened was simple. Between personal issues and running this coin, I got to a very dark and dangerous place.
An Apology
First, I owe everyone an apology. For not being strong enough, I am sorry.
I misjudged the response of the trenches. I believed in my heart and soul that the best thing I could do, considering I had to walk away, was to lock over half the supply - supply I had spent a LOT of my personal money to acquire. After all, I never wanted it to be about me in the first place. I wanted it to be about what the movement stood for. And I genuinely believed that removing the question mark that always sat in the back of some people’s minds about the Treasury wallet was the best parting gift I could offer. A final “fall on my sword” moment that would be incredibly bullish for the holders.
Instead, it had the opposite effect. I posted my goodbye message and logged off assuming some sort of God candle was being printed. But I forgot a core truth: markets hate surprises.
I also owe a sincere apology to my dear friend and personal mentor, @Evan_Mann . I have a few mentors in this space; however, Evan has been mine for the longest, and I had developed a sincere friendship with him. When he initially warned me not to do the CTO, for reasons that ALL came to pass, I didn’t like what I was hearing. I pushed him away and eventually stopped talking to him. I incorrectly mistook his sage wisdom and guidance as a lack of belief in me. Even though we are long past the days of Evan teaching me the history of various blockchains - yes, I’ve been with him that long - Evan remained a trusted and valued friend and mentor to me, often counseling me on big-picture matters. Because no matter how far you go in life, or how much you learn, I believe everyone can benefit from solid mentorship to keep them grounded and focused on their journey. So Evan, for pushing you away, I’m sorry.
The Core Problem
In my parting message, I mentioned that PumpFun was a cancer to this space. It’s true. The entire engine is designed to profit Pump, not traders, not even serial deployers - PumpFun itself. They do not care about anything that doesn’t feed them. And they feed on volume and volatility. Everything from how the bonding curve is designed to the liquidity design and shape of the PumpSwap pool is meticulously built to bring them maximum profit.
After surpassing $100M MCAP, on the climb to $200M, I was involved in a group chat with many from the PumpFun team. We had broken the nine-figure curse, and this thing was just exploding. I wanted to strengthen my relationship with Pump and see what they might be able to do to help us out. I knew they were the mafia, but I had an obligation to my holders to do everything I could to help the coin succeed, even if that meant dining with the devil to see what the devil could do for us. They were excited to chat with me and eager to hop on a call to present their multi-point plan to help the coin succeed even further.
Then Penguin launched, and the group chat went silent. They ghosted the call we were supposed to have. After doing some on-chain sleuthing, it became readily apparent that Penguin had some outside support. I highly suspected that outside support was coming from Pump. I followed up with a message along the lines of, “It’s okay if you guys are going in another direction, I just want to close the loop on the conversation,” at which point they came scrambling back to me.
I eventually had the previously scheduled call, but with only one member of the team. I again laid out the areas where we needed help. I diplomatically tried to thread the needle without putting them on the defensive about the liquidity shape issue. I said we could really use some downside support, as the liquidity shape hard-coded to Pump tokens is “thin air” below.
This was when the first big reveal came. I was told this should not be public knowledge, but he admitted to me during that call that they do internal market-making on some coins to “help them out.” Then he dropped the bombshell that they had already invested $800K into the project at “about a $70M MCAP” using their market-making services.
I said, “I probably already know which addresses are yours, as we run very tight monitoring,” and his knee-jerk reaction was to laugh. He said he found that highly unlikely because they spread it across multiple addresses. I asked how many, and he paused while I heard some tapping away on the keyboard.
436 was the answer.
Almost as if he felt he had shared too much, he quickly followed it up by saying, “We do this to help the coin go up,” but in the same breath said, “We run a delta-neutral strategy.”
Both of those things cannot be true. You cannot remain neutral while still having a goal of “number go up.”
But it begs the further question: why is the casino out there disguising itself as players in the first place? It most certainly isn’t for the benefit of other players, as the track record shows clearly. They do nothing that doesn’t directly benefit them.
After that call I was promised a follow up with an action plan in a few days. They went back to ghosting me and that follow up never came.
Inorganic Price Discovery
When ByBit decided, of its own accord and without including me in the conversation, to list us on perps, I was immediately terrified. As a trader, I know that perps drive price action more than spot does across the board, especially on lower-MCAP coins. It’s almost impossible to compete with leveraged dollars on spot, not when someone can spend $10 of real money and have $500 worth of notional buying or selling power.
We quickly identified the on-chain wallet addresses for the perps market maker and quickly identified their method of hedging. While various market makers employ various methods, this market maker consistently hedged on-chain WITH the direction of the trade. So if someone longed, we would see their wallet addresses immediately buy spot. If someone shorted, we would immediately see their wallet addresses dump spot. Because they transferred spot to and from CEXs, it was impossible to know how much spot they had acquired for their operation, at what price, etc. But they always seemed to have supply, and it didn’t come from us.
The problem is that perps already have a short bias toward memecoins to begin with. Add on top of that the fact that we were clearly in a bear market, and the amount of sell pressure that came directly from ByBit perps was nothing short of a colossal, consistent downward boot on our necks. This is really hard to counter. One could simply assume that I should have encouraged everyone to just go long on the token on ByBit. But the problem is that when that long closes, it results in a sale on DEX, whether it closes because someone reached a take-profit point or because a long got liquidated.
With that knowledge, one would assume that everything should end up equal in the end, right? But no. The persistent waves of shorts caused sell pressure on the chart, which spooked spot holders. So the perps activity never truly ended up being a neutral force as positions opened and closed, because spot holders continued to lose confidence in the chart. Not to mention, there seemed to be an endless supply of short sellers.
At one point, there was $55 million in open interest on our token. I can’t even begin to compete with that kind of buying and selling power.
But I tried. I tried my best, and lost another six figures of my own money in the effort. Many days I was successful. But over the long term, I simply couldn’t overpower design mechanics: being soulbound to the PumpFun liquidity architecture, plus the power of perps.
Every day was a constant battle of David vs. Goliath. Bleeding my own cash reserves endlessly, only to be met with a thousand people asking me, “why chart go down?” and “What are you going to do?”
What’s Next?
That remains up to the community. I have not touched the treasury wallet since my sign-off, nor will I. LP operations continue to be run by a trusted friend. Yes, I heard there was an accidental sell by the treasury wallet the other day, with an immediate repurchase after. We all make honest mistakes. I accidentally have done a wrong-way swap in the past as well, but no one ever noticed at that time.
For my own sanity and peace of mind, I will not be engaging in any commentary or discussion about the token moving forward.
What I will do, slowly and as my real-life struggles allow, is re-emerge here on X as my old self. Talking about important topics and finding my way back to some peace. I believe the best thing I can do for anyone at this point is simply be my authentic self, as that’s what a lot of people were attracted to in the first place.
I gave all of myself to this, including flushing away more money than has ever been spent by any dev in the history of the space. I never promised a specific result. I only promised to do the best I could. And I did, up until the point it almost killed me. I hold no shame for that, because I know what I did, even though a few loud voices would like people to believe otherwise. And at the end of the day, the person I will always have to answer to is the person I see staring back at me in the mirror.
This space is wild, though. And what’s old becomes new again. So do I think this is the end of the coin? No. My gut says it’s not. It’s simply the end of me risking my sanity, my entire savings, my daily reputation, or my life for its performance. It will do what it does, what the people will it to do, and I'll be the best example of my personal values that I can be.
Personally, I will never be buying a token that ends with the suffix “pump” again in my lifetime.
