Just checked my Base Rewind 2025 by @bantr_fun!
It’s a full recap of my year on @Base.

@surfai I think this service is pretty good. Thanks team. when I came up some ideas to invest, but don't want to spend time to dive into it, I just write my question to prompt without not much thinking, and go to the other websites, after few minutes, I get organized info.
It's inspiring to see tens of thousands of community members secure life-changing wealth as part of the Hyperliquid genesis event. Importantly, none of these people were insiders. They:
1) believed in the vision for a better financial system when no one else would
2) acted on that conviction by using and building upon the nascent technology, bootstrapping an unstoppable financial network
The Hyperliquid genesis pays homage to the original ethos of Bitcoin: ownership goes to the believers and doers, not rent-seeking insiders.
For all you early believers, thank you for the unwavering faith and support. Hyperliquid would be nowhere without you all. I'm grateful and honored to be building alongside you.

Looking back, we've come a long way. But looking ahead, there's so much further to go.
Finance is humanity's greatest invention. It is the only effective way to coordinate human effort across time and space. Yet, the legacy financial system contradicts its underlying goal of empowering individuals:
- it is opaque and centralized
- it is owned and operated by privileged insiders
- it doesn't embrace technological innovation to better serve users
Hyperliquid is the evolution of finance. And Hyperliquid has not succeeded until it houses all of finance. If you're reading this now, you're still early. The new financial system welcomes you with open arms.
most people know me for turning $16,000 into over $18 million upnl on a single $BONK trade
what they do not know however is:
- this October will make it 12 months since i've held that position & i'm yet to sell a token
- i'll be up $50m to $100m on that single trade later this cycle. God willing.
my tweet isn't about BONK, however
it is about CONVICTION
this industry is so conditioned to the 'fast-win' memecoin degeneracy where many expect to do 10 - 100x in a few days
and many keep chasing 'opportunities' that they think will help them do just that until they gamble away all their money
only to realize they would have been better off having conviction and holding that one token they had an early entry in
while many know me for my BONK trade:
- $FLOKI is my biggest memecoin bag and i've held it across cycles. i continue to hold for much higher.
- i turned $6k to $1,000,000+ on $WIF in 2 months and continue to hold that position. i've now held it for 8 months and will be cashing out multiples of my peak upnl later this cycle God willing.
- i've routinely held tokens through a 90 - 99% correction only to see them pump 10 - 100x above their ATH valuation prior to the original massive correction
the whole point of my long essay is this:
HAVE CONVICTION FOR ONCE
shake yourself out of the pipe dream that you will turn $100 to a million in a few days
this rarely happens
and for the very few people it does happen for it is often due to a combination of luck and having a kind of extreme conviction that is borderline insanity
when i'm up $50m to $100m on my BONK trade later this cycle, God willing, many will call me lucky
they would be right to a good extent, but they would likely also omit a key fact: turning $16k to $18,000,000+ on a single trade in a few months and refusing to take a cent of profit because you believe it will be worth multiples of that isn't just luck, but also a product of having CONVICTION on a level that is BORDERLINE INSANITY
i'm not asking you to be me, nor am i asking you to be like me, but i can tell you this for sure as we're about to enter easy mode:
if you do not learn to have conviction in your trades, you will end the cycle with a lot of regrets due to a lot of missed opportunities that COULD HAVE been you
