Your coins are your coins. Don’t let them be clubbed into dank submission. Be on the watch, there are ways out. There is a light somewhere. It may not be much light but it beats the darkness. The gods will offer you chances: know them, take them. You can’t beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes.
Happy new year.
my advice is this: stop trading immediately. liquidate everything you have and go fully cash. then start journaling. write down everything, reflect on all your trades, identify what your strengths and weaknesses are, identify what went wrong and then build a process that prevents it from happening again.
mistake + reflection = progress.
your NW will always regress to the base level of your process. law of nature. so you gotta focus on building that process and elevating the base level. shift your mindset from being results-oriented to being process-oriented. hope this helps.
Execution
Extremely proud of the community and team for the smooth launch of the HyperEVM. The upgrade happened amidst billions of dollars of daily volume, where the majority of defi derivatives trade. There was no downtime, and no performance degradation after the launch.
The UX of trading is still so seamless that many users assume the HyperEVM is a separate chain! To be clear: the HyperEVM and the existing native Hyperliquid financial system are one composable state.
The safest way to upgrade this uniquely complex system is a gradual rollout. Precompiles and other L1 interactions will build upon the sturdy foundation of the initial HyperEVM release. This will unlock an entirely new class of performant defi applications, but more on that later.
Right now I want to focus on the execution of the launch. A bug in HyperEVM logic or an unoptimized code path would've crippled the entire blockchain, affecting hundreds of thousands of users and billions in open interest.
This was a massively challenging launch: a jet's engine was flawlessly changed mid-flight.

Philosophy
The HyperEVM launch stayed true to Hyperliquid’s “no insiders” principle. Hyperliquid has always embodied the original ethos of crypto: no investors, no paid market makers, no fees going to any company. The HyperEVM launch is yet another example that integrity and fairness are the pillars of Hyperliquid.
The tradeoff of a fair launch is that things are a bit messy to start. Tooling might not be there from day one. Builders need to familiarize themselves with the tech. But these short term obstacles are nothing compared to the long term value of fairness. No one had a head start or unfair advantages. I’m impressed that some teams deployed dapps, tooling, and analytics within hours of the HyperEVM release, a testament to the strength of the builders and community.
Hyperliquid will eventually be the credibly neutral infrastructure that houses all of finance. Looking back, the L1 launch, HYPE genesis, and HyperEVM launch will all be important milestones. Success is path dependent, and there can be no blemishes on the fair trajectory towards the final state.
The HyperEVM is a clean slate. The community is hungry for quality applications. Where else in the world is there such an imbalance between supply and demand for applications built? Fast, general purpose chains are nothing new. But on Hyperliquid, builders can plug into a mature, liquid, and performant onchain economy with real users.
I've noticed a pattern that builders, traders, and communities who "make it" on Hyperliquid are those who call Hyperliquid home. Legacy players don't win just because of their credentials. Newcomers have equal opportunity to win by challenging the status quo and seizing the opportunities. There are empires to be built on the HyperEVM, and the community welcomes builders with open arms.

hny all, new post up for 2025
i wrote something i wish i had when i was first starting out, hopefully some of you find it useful

Batch checker for $PENGU is available.
Here's which addresses to check in order to not let free money slip away:
-> Bonkbot/Bullx/whatever bot or terminal you used
-> Any @drip_haus active address/wallet
-> Any EVM address you might have, regardless of age and activity
We've built a privacy-friendly bulk checker for the Odos airdrop, it queries our APIs only
To use it go to https://t.co/1KHt3x6E2N and click on "Check airdrops for address"
Positioning for 2025 PvE season:
- buy breakouts with momentum, conviction sized > early chops
- strength shows strength, don't fade V reversals
- don't marry bags, stick to targets
- size what you understand, bet what you actually use
- no leverage, no borrowed conviction
- 2x on 1% networth = nothing
- conviction > diversification
- outsized returns = risk taking with belief
- beta plays = leveraged trauma (worth it before dispersion)
- missed plays > forced plays
- life changing money? sell and restart
- no chart fading copium on category defining leaders
- find fulfillment outside charts (career/family/friends)
not investment advice but position for what works not what timeline says should work
The second worst feeling is not being eligible for an airdrop.
The worst feeling is being eligible, and missing the claim period.
@dropsbot has been pestering me in my DMs for close to 5 months now, but I faded because I thought I knew my wallets better than some random subscription thing did.
Turns out I didn't and indeed I had missed a few, mostly some $EIGEN from @0xMantle's $METH platform that I withdrew somewhere halfway through the season and just wrote it off - but it's claimable, so I did!
Unfortunately it also found some airdrops that I was too late to.
Still, with how cheap and good this bot is, it's well worth investing in.
let's dive in what it does and how it works 👇
