Class of 21 | journalling my rollercoaster ride from 'oops' to 'moon,' navigating rug pulls and seeking redemption in the world of crypto chaos 🎢

1/n From crypto virgin to degenerate: My rollercoaster journey

[Nut @Akane_Nut]

Rumors say OpenSea tried to sell but got no takers, so now they’re tossing $SEA farming into the mix with XP for trading on their slick 2.0 platform—think Bored Apes flipping like hotcakes.

It might juice up an NFT bull run if the hype sticks, but X vibes are skeptical, calling it a desperate cash grab after Blur’s $BLUR stunt fizzled post-airdrop. Could be a spark or just another fancy flop—watch the volume and pray they don’t botch it.

[Nut @Akane_Nut]

The FTX circus rolls on, tossing $1.2 billion back to the crowd and dangling $16 billion more like a carrot for the weary— cue the faint hope of green candles as traders dream of a market savior.

Of course, this could just as easily end in a glorious sell-off, because nothing says "I trust crypto" like cashing out the second you’re made whole after two years of misery.

Whether this liquidity lights a fire under Bitcoin or drowns altcoins in a sea of sell orders depends on if people feel like clapping for the cleanup or running for the exits. Watch the vibes through Q1 I guess, because $16 billion can buy a lot of chaos—or a really nice yacht.

If Kanye’s launching $YZY with a 70% hold on the supply, he’s gotta play it smart to avoid the usual celebrity coin disaster.

I’d tell him to cut that massive share down and spread tokens to the community, lock his portion in a public vesting schedule to prove he’s not dumping, and give $YZY real utility—like exclusive Yeezy perks or voting rights—so it’s not just hype.

Plus, he needs a legit crypto team, not just yes-men, to keep it running clean and dodge legal heat. That’s the way to keep $YZY from bleeding out like the rest

[Nut @Akane_Nut]

$KAITO’s tokenomics are out—10% to Yappers and Genesis NFT holders, vesting monthly? Nice! I’d probably hold onto mine.

The slow vesting means there’s no massive dump coming right out the gate, which keeps the price from tanking early. Plus, if they’re building something legit—like real utility in governance or ecosystem perks—it could pay off down the road.

[Nut @Akane_Nut]

If I were launching an NFT collection today, I’d go with Ethereum. It’s the tried-and-true champ of the NFT world—biggest community, most established tools, and a solid rep that buyers trust.

Yeah, gas fees can sting, but layer-2 solutions like Polygon keep costs down while still piggybacking on Ethereum’s security and reach.

The ecosystem’s massive—tons of developers, marketplaces like Blur, and a crowd that’s already hooked on NFTs.

For me, that outweighs the quirks of newer chains. It’s about getting eyes on the project and making sure it’s got legs to stand on, you know?

[Nut @Akane_Nut]

For a long-term investment, jumping into a TGE this week could pay off if you believe in the project’s fundamentals and can handle the initial volatility, but there’s a risk of a post-hype dump.

Waiting for better market conditions might offer a safer entry point, letting you assess the token’s performance and market trends after the launch. Ultimately, it hinges on your risk tolerance and the project’s specifics—either way, vet it thoroughly.

Let’s not group these fast rugs in with the hardworking teams that have spent the last three years earnestly building slow rugs

[Nut @Akane_Nut]

Well said. If you are self aware and know you don't have an edge against the best (be it perp trading or trenching shit coins), best way is just to be heavy in BTC for exposure and try to hit some good runners.

If Nut a midwit pleb can do it, I think anyone can do it too. You just need some discipline and self control not to let greed take over and you be fine.

[Rob Hadick ＞|＜ @HadickM]

A lot of people took yesterday's @chainalysis report to suggest that the TRUMP token was a mass onboarding event, primarily because 50% of TRUMP/MELANIA token holder wallets were net new to SOL altcoins, but that continues to make the same wallet/user fallacies and misses the distinction between interest in TRUMP vs onchain users that are value additive and contribute capital to the broader ecosystem.

In the last 30 days, other than Moonshot, other large access points to the token have had their app store rank go DOWN, not up.

Meaning, moonshot was likely the access point for almost every brand new user (and many of the current users who wanted to quickly fund fiat) in the US/EU/CAN/AUS/UK and unsurprisingly activity is in a free fall

And those wallets are by in large not transacting with any other applications

In fact, the total crypto market cap is lower than it was when the token was launched, implying that the capital was not net new and/or any gains or net new capital is flowing out of crypto.

With all that said, i've been getting a lot of people reaching out about the token and asking questions about the space. So it's clear that it brought attention and eyeballs in what today, is ultimately an attention economy.

But calling it onboarding, at least with the data we have today, is a major stretch.

s/o @ElBarto_Crypto and the @artemis team for helping me think through this

[Bio99 @BIO99_BIO99]

Do you guys realize that Trump could never in good conscience announce a strategic Bitcoin reserve until Ross was fully pardoned and released. It could never have happened. Because the US bitcoins held by the US marshals are from Silk Road that he founded. So taking ownership of it and not releasing him would have brought craziness. He has to be free first. And he could never be released until the Jan6’ers were released first. And they could not be released until illegal immigration was stopped. And the DOGE created, hiring frozen and folks fired. And even then an SBR will not be supported beyond Bitcoiners until he announces major new investments in AI and other things, which he just did this afternoon. Bitcoin is the elephant in the room though. It is for us, it is for him, it is for everyone who funded his campaign, it is for the entire cabinet, it is for the dollar, the Treasury and the stock market. But certain things had to be put to bed first. Then we get to see what really is the major plan. Next I believe will be the repeal of SAB so that all the banks can jump in on the game. When they jump in, all companies will have more ways to create their own reserves. You notice how Musk has not mentioned Bitcoin recently? But what did he say yesterday? That Ross would be freed too? If this was an unimportant issue for the SBR and for everything else, and if he didn’t care about Bitcoin, would he even be aware of what was going to happen to this one individual?? Of course not. They all know and it’s happening in order.

[Unipcs (aka 'Bonk Guy') 🎒 @theunipcs]

i didn't have Melania launching a memecoin right after Trump on my bingo card

not sure how i feel about this ngl 🤔

looks kind of ill-timed and sucks momentum out of things

bad move

anyway, it's going to end up benefiting $BONK and OG memes once the dust settles imo

Once you truly understand this, everything gets easier in life.

The dark side and pain caused by Trump coin
(and how to deal with that)

Various friends, but also lots of dm´s i am getting, is from people who are profoundly frustrated or sad or depressed. Been taking many extra hours these last 2 days to help people...almost non-stop

Every happy side (Trump & solana going insane), has a dark side (all other memes and coins taking big hits). Bitcoiners are content as usual

Some things to remember:

1: nobody saw this coming (except insiders)

2: most people were asleep or chilling on their friday evening

3: you have to take responsibility, so going over impossible scenarios in your head....focus on the now. read this post on responsibility: https://t.co/JgQC7LkI6Y

4: personally, i had enough sol in hot wallets on standbye to slam in 1M quickly, but hesitated, and put in less. Who made that decision? Me. Might i have missed millions or even 10s of millions in potential gains? Yes. So what. New chances will come, life goes on, it is what it is. On we go

5: i know the mind takes over, so meditate, walk, don´t let this voice drive you crazy

6: you are still alive in the biggest most amazing show ever, consciousness....be grateful. i know it is not easy. hug your wife, enjoy nature. take a break.

7: if that does not help, imagine that english guy who mined a shitload of bitcoin and his laptop ended up in a landfill? remember the btc-pizza guy......come on....be relative... things happen and life is a crazy game sometimes. stick with it, and in the long term you get your winners too

8: don´t do anything crazy. chin up, breathe. drink some water, go for a walk. let´s go. life goes on. we are all still here

love you all

TL full of wintermute/ MM fud

instead of complaining, why not learn how they nuke/ pump the chart, understand how to maximize and lockin your wins

understand when mm starts buying in, price action and purpose of their action, then trade accordingly

the difference between tradfi and crypto is that there are way less mm in the market, it is easier to track wallet and price actions. an inefficient market creates opportunities.
