With the full moon on Sunday, I’m punting a long on $SOL today.

Gains would have retraced had I held this whole time so TP was very solid in hindsight.

Let’s see if the full moon marks the local bottom for a 4th time in a row followed by the new moon marking the local top.

Would coincide nice with the 100th announcement of a peace deal with Iran!

Closed yday.

Not too bad for just following the moon streak. We’ll see if it can make it 4 in a row next cycle. Ideal close is prob a couple days before or after new moon tho.

this is exactly why TCG's will continue to move higher

onchain TCG platforms mint profits through gacha buybacks and marketplace fees, then recycle those fees to pull even more physical stock onto the chain.

the only way these platforms scale inventory is by buying on the secondary market andthe most liquid marketplace (@Collector_Crypt ) ultimately wins.

It’s a game theory loop of endless upward pressure on tcg prices, all while these platforms keep stacking revenue and profits, so for all the ppl whinging about wanting the buybacks for the token, that should come later imo, what we really want is for them to keep investing in inventory

@JordzWilliamz @MalignantV4hqm @batfitch42000 @TTVauger Idt it’s the comprehension that’s the issue. I think it’s how you’re explaining yourself but go off lol

[Rick @btczeus_]

Ya I mean how the viewer interprets everything is the key. That’s just your opinion. You can make the argument that taking HL out improved the world a lot. But a big part of the plot was that taking HL out wasn’t just for altruistic reasons- it was also for revenge.

In butcher and the boys world, HL was who needed to be taken down to end things.

But the true enemy really is Vought and the machine, I agree. Without taking them down, the cycle continues. But really it could continue regardless.

[Moon @x103p]

No, #TheBoys

The way they marketed the entire szn and the show in general was that Homelander was going to pop off on the public sooner or later, especially in the s5 promo images, only to not do any of it. They shot themselves in the foot with the promotional images and story built up there, say what you want - it's false promotion.

And they brought up Gen V crew to do absolutely nothing - hyped up Marie to be on par with Homelander in power (Project Odessa) and downplayed her completely after killing Thomas Godolkin (V1 Supe). If they weren't going to have them do anything why even bring them into the scene. And now that the show was suddenly cancelled, we won't see complete story arcs for them. THE ENTIRE GEN V SHOW WAS MADE FOR NO REASON! SMALL CAMEOS IN NEWER SHOWS WON'T BE ENOUGH.

I personally think the entire build up for the season was really useless, the most important part of defeating Homelander was introduced an episode before the finale which is a huge problem because they set up Gen V crew, and the virus through out the season to have an actual impact on the finale - but they didn't. Anyone could've went without watching episode 1 through 6 and not really lose any important plot details REGARDING defeating Homelander.

They hyped up V1 to be this huge thing (x10 more potent than Compound V, supposedly a huge power boost, verified in an episode do your own research) and Homelander didn't get a real chance to put on a real fight. 2 REGULAR SUPES was able to overwhelm an Odessa AND V1 baby? Makes no sense. Not even Butcher and Soldier boy TOGETHER was able to hold HL long enough to blast him but somehow Ryan can over SB?

Not to mention, Soldier boy's story this season was horrible, he was kissing and kicking Homelander's ass every few seconds and left once again for VR setup.

*Personal nitpick: It was stated that Ryan was a natural born supe, no Compound V in his blood, and somehow got his powers removed? His entire DNA was rewritten (Project Odessa From HL) and was meant to be the first supe without V injection, HOW did he lose his powers?

I just personally think they wasted too much time through out the entire season with Soldier Boy's VR setup and rushed the finale to clear up the main story arcs.

Homelander should've got V1 episode 3, and started going on a rampage in episode 4 and 5 with episode 6 and 7 being focused on Butcher releasing the virus and episode 8 concluding every story arc.

[Rick @btczeus_]

Sums it up. Some an incredible acting performance carried this show. First few seasons were great but sadly yet another show that cannot figure out a way to tie up the ending right. Antony and the cast deserved better. #TheBoys

[MauLer @MauLer93]

Anthony Starr is the reason The Boys survived. He made Kripke's shitty writing feel purposeful.

His passion in every scene, with every meme worthy expression, convinced the audience there was far more substance only for the finale to leave you looking back with near nothing.

Excellent actor, hope he gets better opportunities.

[Rick @btczeus_]

If the writers of The Boys performed half as well as Antony Starr, we would have witnessed absolute cinema.

Instead we got some half-assed bs script. Sadly the writing was on the wall after the season completely stalled after A-Train’s death. Sad. (Happy MM lived HEA tho) #TheBoys

[Rick @btczeus_]

Last one. I can’t keep going thru tweets. It just hurts me too much. I’m crashing out on the TL bc the writers just shit all over so much potential #TheBoys

[🦕 @iadkeys]

Unless that’s a v1 octopus how can that penetrate his skin when he’s super strong and invulnerable and bullets bounce off him?

#TheBoys

[Rick @btczeus_]

Makes you appreciate the 1% even more.

#AOT #TheBoys

[OpTic Pamaj @Pamaj]

Why do 99% of TV shows have such a disappointing ending

Everything except Breaking Bad

[Rick @btczeus_]

Literally kept up with A-Train. Make it make sense. Not surprised tho sadly. Writing was on the wall after the last few episodes. ANTONY STARR AND THE CAST DESERVED BETTER! #TheBoys

[17♱ @Promiseishim]

Homelander took the billionaire to space and back in 3 seconds
He moved extremely fast when Frenchie made that tapping noise to get his attention
But he wasn't fast enough to escape the white house, apparently butcher's tentacles are faster than him

[Rick @btczeus_]

@JordzWilliamz @MalignantV4hqm @batfitch42000 @TTVauger No it’s just a defense of the only ok thing that they did. The cycle continuing is a reasonable ending. Everything else was shit. The buildup, the bs plot, pacing, defeat of the villain, all garbage.

[Rick @btczeus_]

@batfitch42000 @TTVauger Who tf is hailing this as an outstanding conclusion? lol

TBH that part is the least of my concerns. The cycle continuing is a good message (not that that’s what they were trying to convey).

What’s horrible is how they cooked up the most bullshit way to beat HL. Horrible writing

[Rick @btczeus_]

@La_femZi @MauLer93 He was also amazing. Chace killed it.
