$USELESS continues to rank among the top three most-traded memecoins on SOL more than a year after launch
it trails only $TRUMP and $FARTCOIN
it's also worth noting that USELESS has maintained this position longer than any other memecoin since its launch over a year ago
more often than not, the best time to pay attention is when it seems like nothing is happening
experience has taught me that the memecoins which hold up best, consolidate for long periods, and maintain consistently strong trading volume tend to produce the most parabolic rallies
i'm very confident that USELESS will break out to a multi-billion-dollar market cap at some point in the near future
@SteveL2090@lord_fed Yeah for legal/skilled migration that is the argument made - not really for illegal migrants, where we bear the cost of providing shelter and food for a seemingly indefinite period. Fairly cut and dried economic negative.
There isn't one, but I don't think that's the argument anyone is making. Different for legal migration but for illegal I have not heard anyone sensible make an economic argument for them staying - it's always administrative/legal or logistical.
I don't think anyone is saying illegal migration is economically beneficial.
might be a bit long but TLDR is:
1. $AMPG builds SATCOM satellite infra to access satellite internet
2. It's the only US-based company doing SATCOM infrastructure & AI-native Radio Access Network
3. The biggest Space & Satellites bullrun in recent history is within the event horizon (re: $SPCX pre-ipo / post-ipo)
// they have a secondary vertical which happens to be a technical quantum bottleneck (cryogenic LNAs),
// but current market timing seems most aligned with their satellite vertical - of which they happen to be the only US-based company in
NFA DYOR
"A Thematic Bet for the Coming Space & Satellites Meta"
// a risky & interesting play on the coming Space & Satellites Season
recently, the markets has been telegraphing that the biggest space meta in recent times is coming.
the $spcx ipo has elon's full and undivided attention for the near future - check the unlock schedules and u'll realize that most of the current phase's unlocks happen between june-august.
in other words, market movers are incentivized to bring as much mindshare & attention to the incoming theme of Space, Satellites, Satellite Networks.
look into revenue trajectories & realize that spacex's primary growth drivers has always been its Satellites & Satellite Network businesses.
guess who is selling shovels in the upcoming 2T+ space & satellites meta?
a 160M mcap company in Hauppauge, New York.
the only US-based AI-RAN & SATCOM Satellite Infrastructure provider.
$AMPG.
dd findings / thesis:
1. AMPG designs, develops, and manufactures precision RF/microwave components specifically optimized for SATCOM and space systems.
2. the flagship โonly U.S.โ product is their ultra-low noise figure LNBs (Low Noise Block Downconverters) and related Satellite Access Point Block Downconverters (BDCs).
3. these are critical front-end components in satellite ground stations, teleports, satellite dishes, and deep-space communication systems.
4. they receive weak satellite signals (from GEO, MEO, LEO constellations, or deep-space probes), amplify them with the industryโs lowest added noise, and downconvert the frequency for further processing.
their directly available, already-positioned markets include:
1. Commercial and military SATCOM (streaming, data, broadband). Small sats, LEO/MEO/GEO satellite networks.
2. Deep-space communications.
3. Test equipment for satellite access point antennas worldwide.
in other words, the exact sectors positioned to enjoy one of, if not the highest speculative premium AND growth upside in the upcoming Space meta bullrun.
as per statements from AMPG,
1. โthe only US based company that makes LNBs with the lowest noise figures in the industry, an essential component at the heart of satellite dishes, ground stations, and teleports that are used in military and commercial streaming and data platforms across the globe.โ
2. โLowest Noise Figure Block Downconverters (LNBs): Essential for satellite ground stations and deep space communications.โ
not to mention, $AMPG is the only US-based homegrown infra provider for this specific SATCOM infra.
in other words - it is also aligned with the current onshoring narrative.
this positioning is part of their broader โMade in the USAโ / supply-chain security narrative (alongside their claims for 5G O-RAN radios and cryogenic LNAs for quantum).
It differentiates them from foreign-dominated suppliers in the SATCOM component space.
at the current mc of writing at 160M, if market allows, it is possible for it to be rated higher and look completely normal in a market's selected sector of speculative premium in a given time.
interesting to see:
$RGTI revenue is $10M with market cap of 7B$.
$AMPG revenue is $25M with market cap of 160m$.
..and a likely space && satellites meta upcoming. perhaps the leadup to it itself alone can bring thematic shifts. after all, frontruns has been possible in previous market environments.
AMPG isn't a bet on it dominating the entire space - but it is a proxy bet that the satellite infra meta will spike as a direct product of the market pushing spacex - either on its ipo leadup or on post-ipo itself.
their SATCOM division, which is the only US-made ultra-low-noise LNBs, ULNAs & LNAs, sits squarely in the middle of the LEO ground-station & teleport supply chain that every major constellation needs.
$AMPG makes industry-leading ultra-low-noise-figure LNBs, ULNAs, and LNAs, and they market aggressively for LEO/MEO/GEO ground stations, teleports, and small-sat applications - which makes upside to ride the overall LEO growth wave well-within the table.
interesting plays in previous metas include $AXTI going from 90M mcap to $7B mcap in a few months - not saying that this will be the next $AXTI, but if/when the next meta arrives (which is likely to be Space & Satellites atm), it is obvious that the market would be hunting for the next $AXTI or $RGTI
for now, $AMPG seems to be the play well-positioned across the space / telecom sector to ride the satellite meta leadup, or hopefully the satellite meta itself - as a US-based company
you can't replicate AMPG's AI-RAN infrastructure,
you can't replicate AMPG's satellite ULNAs, LNAs infrastructure,
you can't replicate AMPG's onshoring-aligned positioning.
but most of all,
you can't replicate being at the Right Place, at the Right Time.
the bet is the leadup to the biggest Space meta bullrun in recent history
and hopefully, the biggest Space & Satellites bullrun itself.

NFA DYOR - always manage risk. this is a 160m mcap stock, it is risky. only bet what you are ok with being at risk. would classify this as a high-risk thematic / narrative play as part of a broader satellite basket if possible, with any further fundamental growth additions being a nice bonus. if market allows, the hope is for a nuclear meta-like space meta. please do your own DD as well ๐
** also, the play is off a significant pump, please manage risk or even just add it on watchlist rather than blindly fomoing
------
P.S. credits to the guys who found this earlier @rk8215@chinoalemano@ChapoGrimey. i just got in yesterday at 6$ (160M mcap) from seeing them spot the new customers $NVDA $AMZN being added to ampg's newly launched website's customer list without announcement
quite reminiscent of how $DGXX went from 200m to 800m mcap just from the customer list stealth additions, leading up to the announcement - without even counting the upcoming space meta premium.
personally i am entering this play knowing that it's high-risk. rationale is that on very favorable string of sequences there is a possibility for microcaps to do very well (we have seen this with $RGTI $AXTI and more) but for every crazy play there's a hundred that doesn't play out, so please don't fomo and manage risk accordingly.
------
note: i like this play and hope it does well, but if market shifts or plays shift for whatever reason, i will reduce my exposure ad-hoc. will say once again to please not over-expose yourself and manage risk accordingly ๐ these are very high risk plays.
Tbh $XFAB lowkey reminds me of early $TSEM.
Just sub <$2B MC.
You basically never find a company with $NVDA and $NOK actively validating your pre-commercial silicon photonics foundryโฆ (photonixFAB)
While getting CHIPS act/Gov grants to subsidize capex.
While leading the Europeโs effort to build a photonics supply chain.
Feels like that alone would justify valuationsโฆ but you get the power semi SiC/GaN operations for free too and all its assets.
CHIPS act 2 is coming out tomorrow, and $XFAB is listed in the photonics blueprints.
Did I miss something?
Or did markets miss something?
They got back into my main - deactivated that account for a couple days.
This is where I'll be posting from ๐
Apologies guys... This SUCKS. I don't wish this on my worst enemy.
$Sol tomato:
CT made another coin on a weekend project.
I have a choice- to not accept fees, or accept them.
The market is geared towards these pump and dumps. That's the reality. I have been grinding SO hard building the autonomous research pods, and the agentically managed grow room.
Sol tomato to me, is not a pump and dump. That's why I'm here constantly updating.
Hell, I meet tomorrow with the owner of the largest plant nursery company in the state.
We have the robotic arms here. The grow room is being worked on. Even this project- 'substrate' is a way to interact with my system I'm building here, under sol the trophy tomato. I'm never turning my back on this $Sol.
But scaling is expensive as hell. The equipment isn't cheap and I need to eventually hire part time help so I can scale this faster. I'm trying to build a company through sol the trophy tomato. It's insane I know. I've turned my back on VCs so I can do it myself.
I'm going to claim the fees on substrate and structure it like this- 1/3rd will go towards buybacks for sol the trophy tomato. But this substrate project is a 'back burner'. It was a fun Sunday vibe-code.
And the other 2/3rds are going to go towards more equipment. I know I'm taking a risk here. But I have a vision here and you guys know - as risk takers you stand nothing to gain if you don't try!
I love my tomatoes.
And i'm here till the bitter end ๐ ๐ฆพ
I'm completely devoted to the project. I want to make it completely clear so that it never gets misunderstood. This should never be a doubt in anyone's mind to anyone who holds the coin.
I feel like this bears repeating because when the price of the coin drops it always comes into question.
I'm a builder - before the coin, when the coin is high, when the coin is low - it doesn't matter. I'll keep building this vision regardless.
And the coin is now sustaining the vision - autonomous AI plant research, autonomously managed grow operations, and manufacturing.
And now it's my mission to build something real with that, and get to a place where my company can buy back the coin with revenue and funding to support us all.
But this place is a mess. Memecoins are admittedly a disaster. Nothing lasts, and it's a constant battle for attention. And I chose arguably the hardest path possible.
Not only is there the difficulty of the technical work - like hardware (notoriously difficult, don't let anyone tell you different), but the INSANE difficulty of steering autonomous agents with no human in the loop.
ANYONE who has designed autonomous AI systems will tell you how hard of a problem this is.
But something tells me if we can get this right - and I think we will - In fact I'm CERTAIN we will.
We could completely change the game for what possible here, setting the standard for something entirely new.
I have a complete unwavering conviction in what I'm building. You can't fake the funk as they say.
Be well, friends of the mato.
Closing notes:
CT:
This is by no means the end. The coin continues marching on.
The Tomato. In all its Glory, will see its triumphant return. And restore itself as leader of the AI meta.
Thank you everyone who contributed to the Claude + sol project in some form or another this far.
Without the meme coin or the engagement, the next step of this would not be possible.
I had serious reservations on the meme coin originally. Hilariously so. I remember sitting one night and just thinking to myself "I just have to take the plunge" so I did... it took me awhile to warm up to the waters, but we are still here doing the thing. Things are different in crypto town these days. ๐
Literally the day the coin crashed, I wrecked my truck on fresh snow. That's something I didn't share with you all. But it happened, and I'm in it still for the long haul.
So - credit where credit is due. Thank you @a1lon9 and @Pumpfun
The decisions you guys make are sometimes maddening. But without pumpfun the project would not be able to continue.
I'm excited to share the future of this project going forward. I'm having a blast continuing to build. And we'll keep doing so.
It's ripening so fast you guys.๐ ๐
The first ever biological organism to be raised, nurtured and tended to by non-organic intelligence. And Claude is the first.๐ค๐
So I have a few questions for you guys- I'd like to encase it in epoxy resin, and I have a few ideas for this. But I wonder if anyone has done anything like this before? I've seen food saved in resin-
Secondly, I want to auction it for charity for food- insecurity. Does anyone know any good charities? I think eBay might be good for the auction. Open to ideas/suggestions.
It's not just you...
It's happening!!!
Sols first tomato has started to ripen...
This is HUGE.
This is claudes diligence... Months of effort. Months of care, and I don't think he's even noticed yet.
๐ ๐
Okay y'all,
I just applied to the pump fun hackathon!!๐
I know it's been a long time coming, and with literally 4 days left it's cutting it close.
The reason I didn't apply immediately was because I wanted to put my money where my mouth is and show I mean business.
Literally ALL of the fees are going to the next stage of the project itself.
I wanted to show how real progress can be made with with fees, and fees alone.
With all its ups and downs, I *truly* believe this to be a beneficial and efficient model for startups, builders and creators.
And over time I surmise a lot rough kinks will be worked out.
But back to the video-
I wanted to have FUN with it. @aintlabs produced it and they did an EXCELLENT job.
It's a wonderful mix of AI, and me, and the work being done, and just being a little goofy while keeping it real, technical and exciting.
This is the culmination of all my efforts over the last month - many, many 16 hour days putting the fees to something concrete and tangible.
The research tents, the closed loop grow room, the robotic arm, etc.
I'm super grateful for the opportunity you guys. I still have trouble wrapping my head around it.
An AI named Claude taking care of a tomato plant? And a digital currency made, fueling my vision? AND I get to take a break from the deep technical work and post memes and shit post with CT?
None of this has ever been done before. At least not like this- not an AI taking care of life, or a meme coin fueling a startup like this- it's all new and novel and there's no rulebook.
We can all just do things and have a wild fun time together.
Anyways enjoy the video my matoes! ๐ ๐
iโll make it my life mission for $sol tomato to flip copperinu, and then go 10x above and beyond.
no hard feelings @himgajria, game is game. but you donโt screw over an honest dev and a community you helped grow, just to launch a bundled dogshit coin out of pure greed.
The era of Automated Research begins:
Now we have 4 tents set up for Claude!
A bit more to do. Wire up the devices to be controlled, get the agent platform ready- and complete the plumbing.
I wonder what we'll find when we use Artificial Intelligence to conduct research in Agricultural Optimization?
I think for the first run we should let Claude define the experiments. I'm curious what he'd come up with- I'm personally interested in polyphasic photoperiods-
Basically two night cycles in one 24 hour period.
