@Ren_gmi I instead wonder how much the FTX customers, who were wrecked by SBF's greed, would be up right now if they had managed to survive that chaotic week in late November 2022.
AI Tokens Are Down 90% from ATH โ Is This the End?
Looking at the charts of ai16z, $arc, and even Fartcoin, it's clear that the trend has been downward, and many believe these tokens may never recover to previous levels. But that couldnโt be further from the truth.
When it comes to frameworks like ElizaOS and Rig, they have incredibly strong teams, multiple high-profile partnerships, and integrations with major projects and blockchains. Even Solana has highlighted them on its AI section. Their GitHub metrics continue to grow, proving that development is ongoing. So ask yourself - what has changed besides price? Nothing! The teams are still building, and once we see BTC recover, liquidity return, and major announcements drop, I believe these tokens will not only reclaim their highs but also surpass them, as AI agents are truly innovative and will evolve alongside the broader AI sector.
As for Fartcoin, I believe it has the potential to go far beyond its previous ATH. If you analyze sentiment, mindshare, and inflows, itโs one of the strongest tokens in both AI and meme narratives. If these metrics remain solid even in a bear market, what do you think will happen when market conditions improve?
I understand this is a challenging time, and many investors are unsure of what to do next. But at the very least, I wouldnโt panic sell assets I already hold. Instead, Iโd keep track of project updates and patiently wait for the market to recover.

The tragic fires in Los Angeles have highlighted a unique problem faced by those who self-custody their crypto โ the loss of hardware wallets and backup keys.
Many crypto users keep hardware wallets and recovery seeds at home for practicality but don't consider the impact of a disaster. Here are ways to solve this ๐
~~ Op-Ed by @wmpeaster and @crazykazu12 ~~
๐ฏโโ๏ธ Redundancy as a Baseline
From the quoted tweet, while that person took the preventative course of self-custodying her crypto, it was a lack of redundancy in the process that ultimately led to a tough situation when both the wallet and seed phrase were destroyed.
The redundancy approach ensures that if natural disasters were to strike, and one of your recovery phrases gets destroyed, you can still access your funds by setting up a new wallet with another one of your surviving copies of your recovery phrase.
๐ค Multisigs
@safe, a multisig wallet application, can help take wallet security to another level. This application is used by hundreds of projects and has secured over $100B in onchain value to date.
Safe's wallets can requires the signature of multiple wallets when attempting to complete a transaction. This eliminates the risk of a single point of failure like losing the seed phrase to a wallet, as you would still have access to the multisig wallet since you can sign transactions from your other wallets.
However, here you still face the same underlying risk as a hardware wallets or regular software wallets, insofar as your multisig wallet is only as safe as the seed phrases of its participating addresses.
If you were to keep all the seed phrases for the wallets that make up your multisig in one location, you bear the risk of a natural disaster destroying all your recovery phrases and losing access to your funds. Distribute these recovery phrases to separate secure locations for the most peace of mind.

Yes, we are still in the Banana Zone... ๐๐๐
Banana Zone Phase 1 was the break out last year, now the consolidation (like the 2016/17 consolidation after phase 1). This won't last long..
Next up Banana Zone Phase 2 - The "Banana Singularity" (Alts szn) when everything goes up (followed by a bigger consolidation).
And finally Banana Zone Phase 3 when the core winners explode onto make much higher highs (concentration phase).
That is my roadmap to Valhalla. Let's see...
My 2025 predictions for Ethereum:
- ETH hits $15k
- ETH ETF net inflows hit $50bil+ for the year
- Staked ETH ETFs are filed for and approved
- More major TradFi companies/institutions start to build on Ethereum
- BlackRock (and partners) launch a layer 2 tokenized RWA platform on Ethereum
- Multiple nation states reveal that they hold ETH as a treasury asset
- Pectra will go live in March/April 2025 with more blobs and then soon after, blobs will be saturated again
- Fusaka (the upgrade after Pectra) scope blows out and becomes the biggest Ethereum upgrade ever (goes live in 2026)
- The mainnet gas limit will be increased to at least 50 million by end of year
- Ethereum DeFi thrives more than ever thanks to friendlier crypto regulations in the U.S
- Base spins out from Coinbase and announces token/decentralization plans
- High performant L2's like MegaETH, Rise and others launch and eat the high performant L1's lunch
- Arbitrum One becomes the first major rollup to reach stage 2 decentralization
- Many other rollups reach stage 1 decentralization
- A based rollup enters the top 5 as measured by TVL
- A major optimistic rollup becomes a zk rollup
- Total ETH bridged into L2's exceeds 10 million
- AI agents will stay the main meta for all of 2025
Ethereum will turn 10 years old in 2025 and I'm very confident that this year will be Ethereum's most bullish year yet!
Ethereum is the world computer; ETH is money.

Crypto brings optimism.
It's our greatest export.
And it's how we'll bring crypto to the masses.

My accidental journey to a six-pack.
In the last few years I have gone from this to this.
Iโm 54. Iโve suddenly got a 6-pack. Sort of. A 4-pack. Iโve lost 48 pounds (22 kg). My metabolic age has come down from 57 (when I was 51) to 49. I'm super fit.
What happened?
