When I think about it, my biggest wins in crypto have all come from selling within the first week.
During the NFT tun, I had a couple of WL spots for arguably one of the most hyped mints of all time. I flipped them for $40k USD each before reveal. Today, they're worth zero.
During the InfoFi cycle, I also sold my Kaito airdrop in the first week. It pumped a but higher afterward, but today it would be worth much less.
I honestly can't think of any long-term hold that turned out to be truly life-changing for me
After an incredible journey, Exchange Art will officially cease operations on 08/01/26.
The platform and its services will no longer be available after this date.
Building Exchange Art and fostering an art community on Solana has been an honor and privilege, unfortunately we could not find a viable path forward as a company fiscally during this prolonged bear market for art on chain.
Users are encouraged to access their accounts and retrieve any necessary information they may need prior to shutdown.
All artworks and/or currencies currently held within Exchange Art sales & escrow contracts will be released by Exchange Art to the proper owners prior to the platformโs closure.
All artwork is minted to the Solana blockchain and will be available to import on other marketplaces.
No extra steps are needed from artists or collectors to ensure their artwork is secure and lasts on.
We are deeply grateful to every artist, collector, curator, and supporter who helped shape what this platform is to its core.
Exchange Art will officially shut down and be inaccessible on Saturday, August 1; 08/01/26.

The line between TradFi and crypto keeps blurring. Your Apple shares becoming margin for a BTC long? That's a whole new financial primitive quietly being born on Kraken.
Are we ready for a world where every asset is programmable collateral? #Kraken
one of the most notable tailwinds for solana will be ai startups like kled gaining traction & aligning their token with the business, providing labs w/ verifiable human data is a coordination problem that uniquely benefits by using a token
only @ ~$20M mcap, $1M token buyback
Ethereum Institutional @ethereuminsti will play a central and key role as a neutral entity bringing institutional adoption to ethereum ethereum:native
In their wordsโฆ
โWhatโs been missing for Ethereum to date is a neutral counterpart on the other side of the table: a guide that convenes the full ecosystem around shared standards, connects institutions within the ecosystem to solutions / infrastructure providers and applications, and removes integration friction, from first pilot through scaled production.โ
Bitmine @BitMNR is glad to support this effort $BMNR
Crypto is a hyper volatile asset and some macro headwinds are weighing on Bitcoin and ETH $BTC $ETH
- headwinds: markets see Fed hike, Clarity Act purgatory, AI ๐ค FOMO, and private credit hurting flows
- tailwinds in place: tokenization a megatrend, crypto downstream of AI ๐ค, money is becoming digital / software and sentiment so bad (peak pain?)
Great speaking with @Scaramucci on this
Saylor just flipped the script. That capital restructure basically nukes the whole "MSTR death spiral" narrative the shorts have been screaming about for months. Conviction pays, panic doesn't. Still betting against him? #Bitcoin
