Crypto 2025 in one sentence:
Harder markets, faster narratives, fewer winners.

→ Execution beat ideas
→ Altseason died, rotations got violent
→ Progress ≠ price
→ Taking profits became survival

Lessons learned. 2026 setup in tweet below 👇

[adrian defi @0xadriandefi]

GM, anyone still here? I guess no because CT is panicking and many already gave up

→ Analyst sentiment worst this cycle
→ $BTC and $ETH ETFs net sellers for weeks
→ Funding rates down
→ Long-term holders selling into weakness

That’s early-2022 behavior.

On the bright side:
$BTC vs Gold RSI < 30 seen before at bear market bottoms in 2015 / 2018 / 2022.

Alpha Insights:
• Coinbase accelerates toward superapp status
• A tokenization project recycling revenue

Can you feel that numb, uncomfortable quiet?

It shows up when a market drains people slowly, not violently

That’s resignation

@0xadriandefi Feels like we died a thousand times

[adrian defi @0xadriandefi]

Crypto didn’t die in 2025.
It’s just finally being forced to grow up.

And most of us still haven’t processed what that means for 2026…

What happens when a top trader loses $30 million in minutes?

Most people rage.

@theunipcs didn’t blink.

This is what real Stoicism looks like in the heart of the crypto meltdown on October 11th. 🧵

…

Most people discover Stoicism in a book after they've lost something valuable in life.

Bonk Guy lived it in real time.

On Oct 11, he watched $15M to $30M vanish in a flash crash on Binance.

What happened afterwards is completely different from how most here would react:

No meltdown. No blame. No dopamine withdrawal spiral.

Just pure stoic energy.

…

— 📌 | What Happened

The Binance market glitched.

Altcoins got nuked 70–99% in minutes. Even majors like $ATOM and $INJ got destroyed.

Bonk Guy, one of the most successful traders on CT was saw millions in PnL gone in seconds.

You’d expect rage tweets, threads on manipulation, maybe a lawsuit.

Instead, this:

…

— 📌 | How he reacted

🔹 “I’ve always been very detached from money…”
He didn’t flinch. No identity crisis. Just moved on.

🔹 “I’m only concerned with what I can control.”
No ranting about Binance. No whining about unfairness.

🔹 “This event hasn’t dampened my spirit.”
He’s not done. Just recalibrating.

…

— 📌 | How This Is Stoicism

Ancient Stoic playbook:

🔹 Control what you can. Ignore what you can’t.
🔹 Stay calm. Even when you lose everything.
🔹 Treat setbacks like training.
🔹 Don’t seek revenge. Seek clarity.

Bonk Guy didn’t quote Marcus Aurelius.

He was like Marcus Aurelius the famous roman emperor.

…

— 📌 | Lessons You Can Steal

🔹 Don’t treat trades like personality tests.
Your identity =/= your portfolio.

🔹 Manage exposure before you manage feelings.
Risk plans > rage tweets.

🔹 Train your mindset with small trades.
Don’t let your first loss be your last.

🔹 Expect system failures.
Have buffers. Diversify. Hold stables. Stay boring.

…

— 📌 | TLDR: Stoicism Is Alpha

No “should’ve.”
No “I’m done.”

No thread crying about injustice.

That’s how you stay in the game after a $30M hit.

Most people seek mental frameworks in books and never use the knowledge.

The real ones live it with skin in the game.

This Mindset will make you invincible.

Monday’s market can be brutal.

BTC flash-dropped from $114.4K to $112.8K in 10 mins, triggering the biggest liquidation candle since 2023.

$1.7B wiped, mostly longs.
Alts got smoked.

Full breakdown 🧵
...

— 📌 | Numbers
🔹 Market cap -3.8% → $4.0T
🔹 BTC $112.7K (-3%), ETH $4,200 (-7%)
🔹 BTC dominance +0.7% → 58.5%
🔹 SOL $222 (-8%), XRP $2.81 (-8%)
🔹 Top gainers: IP, M, MNT, XAUT, LEO

...

— 📌 | Liquidations
🔹 $1.7B total
🔹 $1.62B long liquidations alone
🔹 Biggest liquidation spike in ~2 yrs (chart shows the wipe)

...

— 📌 | ETF Flows
Despite the dump, ETFs stayed green Friday:
🔹 BTC ETFs +$223M
🔹 ETH ETFs +$48M

...

— 📌 | Catalysts
🔹 Insider teases “big macro/policy news” Tuesday 👀
🔹 Could act as a short-term push for risk markets

...

— 📌 | Cycle Theory
If the 4-year cycle plays out, we’re late stage.
Historically: one last vertical move → long consolidation.

I’m buying dips with a small tranche. Keeping dry powder ready.

Watching: $AAVE, $SYRUP, $AVO, $PEAQ, $AVAX, $DOGE.

Fundamentals do matter.

Did you take the $PUMP trade with me?

[adrian defi @0xadriandefi]

Most of what you know feels useless.
Random trivia. Niche obsessions. Half-forgotten rabbit holes.

But prediction markets just made all of it liquid.
🧵

...

— 📌 | What’s the point?
🔹 You know way more than you think: sports streaks, box office gossip, political quirks.
🔹 Normally this knowledge is worthless. You can’t pitch it to VCs or build a startup on it. You might not even impress your mum with it.
🔹 Prediction markets flipped the table: now you can turn it into money.

...

— 📌 | How it works
🔹 Markets let you bet on outcomes before consensus forms.
🔹 If you’re right early, you profit when the market catches up.
🔹 Example: you believe The Conjuring: Last Rites will gross <$52M opening weekend. A $10 position could return $10,000.

...

— 📌 | Why it matters
🔹 Curiosity is no longer just a hobby — it can pay rent.
🔹 Niche info finally has a system that rewards it.
🔹 Markets themselves get smarter, since forgotten expertise flows into prices.

...

— 📌 | Numbers
🔹 Yesterday: $246M prediction market volume.
🔹 Kalshi = 80% of that.
🔹 That’s 38% of total Solana memecoin volume.
(Source: Polymarket/Kalshi stats)

...

— 📌 | The ecosystem
🔹 Polymarket: trading random future events daily.
🔹 Kalshi: fully regulated, growing fast.
🔹 Predibot: spin up markets directly from Twitter.
🔹 Markets are getting hyper-specific, opening doors for the obsessives, the trivia nerds, the casually over-informed.

...

— 📌 | What to watch
🔹 Which platforms win on liquidity + regulation.
🔹 Whether regulators crack down on hyper-granular markets.
🔹 How far “niche as alpha” can go.

Niche knowledge is finally liquid.

Not likes. Not clout. Actual payouts.

This week’s crypto alpha but the macro cracks are getting louder:

→ $WLD pumps as Sam Altman’s Worldcoin gets $250M treasury boost + AMPC rollout
→ Fear & Greed at 44: Altseason still unconfirmed, sentiment leans cautious
→ Macro red flags: CPI Thursday, jobs revision could erase 950K roles, construction down 6 months straight
→ Prediction markets go parabolic: Niche trivia now pays real alpha
→ $HYPE airdrop farms: Unit, Kinetiq, Liminal, HyperBeat all in play

[cryptoaicrafter @cryptoaicraft]

@0xadriandefi Q4 will be better?

[adrian defi @0xadriandefi]

Bitcoin closed August in the red.
Now we’re in Septembear → BTC’s worst-performing month.

And whales didn’t wait… they’re unloading $BTC and rotating into $ETH.

That raises the question:
👉 Was the top already in this cycle?
