📸 Photographer // Filmmaker 🤖 $BOTTO contributor👷🏼‍♂️ TL;DR - you're not bullish enough

[JonasHornehoj @JonasHornehoj]

I’ve been accummulating $BOTTO for a while now, and here’s why I'm so bullish on @bottoproject.
($BOTTO FDV is currently $56m FYI)

I’ll try to add some structure to this post:

- Facts & Accomplishments
- Recent Developments + Current Catalysts for Botto
_______________________________________________
A Quick TL;DR - You’re not bullish enough!

it’s impossible to ignore the success of Botto, the AI artist with over 1900ETH in sales, with one of its Genesis mint’s currently on auction right now, with a bid of 76.9ETH - roughly a quarter million US Dollars.

With AI dominating mindshare lately, I need to highlight the directional growth Botto is currently experiencing on the AI front. Team members have been publicly discussing Botto’s swarm of AI Agents currently being developed and built, to assist in the training and proliferation of Botto.

with that being said - lets dive in.

If you don’t know what Botto is, I recommend reading this post by @nichanank from @1kxnetwork, who led the $1.67m OTC raise in 2024. https://t.co/xFfFW9SlgR

Now lets get to some facts/accomplishments:

- 1900+ ETH in primary Sales
- ATH Sale for a Botto piece was 100ETH - “Scene Precede” from Botto’s Genesis Period, purchased by non other than @CozomoMedici
- Botto piece “Err Hold” from the Genesis period is currently on auction on @SuperRare, with a bid of 76.9 ETH
- Botto is the first autonomous AI artist to have a solo show at @Sothebys Auction House - generating $350k in sales (140ETH at the time) in a few short days.
- Botto has been covered in articles in the likes of @CNBC, @WIRED, @TheArtNewspaper, @FastCompany
- and as previously mentioned - $1.67M OTC raise led by @1kxnetwork
- Botto available on ETH, BASE (Solana in pipeline)

“What else” you may ask?

let’s discuss Recent Developments + Current Catalysts for Botto

- AI - Massive AI Expansion
- P5 - Botto’s latest artistic experiment and accomplishment

Let’s dive into the AI:

the core contributors have been working relentlessly on expanding Botto’s native AI functionality. Until now, Botto has been an Autonomous AI agent that creates art, as opposed to verbal/socialmedia interactions (think replyguy twitter agents). Based on 2 recent spaces with @hudsonsims and @nft_parkk its safe to say Botto’s AI functionality is about to set a new standard for AI Agent developers to look up to!

It all started with Otto, Botto’s Intern - a social agent tweeting on @bottoproject. It was a fun experiment and starting point, but the focus is now on building a (near) future where Botto has a swarm of functional agents deployed, to help proliferate Botto as an artist by:

- Training Botto in new ways
- Expanding the DAO and amount of active participants in the Botto Ecosystem
- New Artistic endeavours and capabilities that weren’t possible before
- experimentation with Social Agents with a purpose

Oh and did i mention @BottoDAO recently passed a proposal for $BOTTO to expand its reach to Solana as well?
Picture this.. An Agent Swarm, with autonomous functionality and social purpose to proliferate Botto (and $BOTTO), with multichain functionality… are you connecting the dots yet?

And Finally, an honorable mention to P5 (will write a seperate thread on this soon)

The TL;DR on P5 is:

it’s a new artistic experiment, where for 3 weeks Botto is continuously self-assessing and iterating on thousands of algorithmic artworks, and it’s the first time we can directly impact and train Botto in written format.

P5 will conclude as a final set of 22 algorithms (artworks) which will then be shown with @verse_works at @solos_gallery in London in February, followed by an auction for each individual algorithm.

Will share more on P5 soon! but for now you can check it out on p5(dot)botto(dot)com

to wrap this up, I want to bring your attention back to the greatest part for you.. $BOTTO is currently trading at a mere 56m FDV.

Repricing way higher seems like a matter of WHEN, not IF - hard to deny that with everything I’ve just shared - of course NFA DYOR.

I want to finish with a simple yet powerful take by @__DeFi__

”Wealthy people buy art.

Wealthy internet-natives buy internet art.

Wealthy internet-natives who made their fortunes via AI buy AI internet art.

Core contributors are cooking right now, and I can’t wait to see and experience whatever is shipped next!

[Julien Bittel, CFA @BittelJulien]

I can see all of Fintwit back to hurling insults at each other again, so I figured I’d share my view and try to be a voice of reason, even if I end up being wrong.

It’s my job to stick my neck out. I’ve been doing it for years, and I’m still here.

For what it’s worth, I think Bitcoin is forming another broadening wedge pattern, which is typically a bullish setup (chart 1).

We’ve seen plenty of these in the past, and right now we’re testing the lower boundary of support.

Another thing to note is that this bull market is officially 2 standard deviations oversold on the log regression channel (chart 2).

Unless the bull market is over, which is not our view, these levels are about as good an opportunity as you’re going to get to add to this market.

Also worth pointing out, Bitcoin’s Bollinger Bands have only been this tight three other times in its entire history (chart 3)…

What does that mean?

We’re in a mega low-vol environment…

Right now, the bands are as tight as they were in September 2023, just before a 200% rally.

That move lasted from September through March 2024, with a 20% correction in January before prices rallied another 90%.

The next chart shows the last three times Bitcoin’s Bollinger Bandwidth was less than or equal to 22, along with the forward twelve-month returns (chart 4).

The sample size is small, but the results have been extremely positive…

It’s the classic beach-ball-underwater dynamic. The harder you push it down, the more explosive the move when it finally breaks free.

All in all, we need to do better when times are tough. It’s not just your hopes and dreams caught up in this trade, it’s ours too. Fintwit can be powerful when you follow the right people who are genuinely trying to help. We’re not gurus, but we’ve been doing this a long time, built comprehensive frameworks, and we’re doing our best to share what we’ve learned.

At the same time, there’s a ton of poison and hate out there. Avoid it. When times get rough, we should rally around each other and stay focused on the big picture.

This is a 70-vol asset. If you can’t handle that level of volatility, this asset class might not be for you. If you don’t believe in crypto and the life-changing tech it brings, it’s hard to stomach the swings.

The only way to survive this kind of volatility is to extend your time horizon. When you think in days or weeks, every move feels like life or death. When you think in months or years, it all fades into noise.

Once you stop fighting volatility and start embracing it as a feature of this space, everything changes. Volatility turns into opportunity. It’s a gift that lets you add to your conviction.

Our view remains that Q4, once the dust settles, will be bullish, and we’ve done a ton of work to support that view.

That’s the best I can leave you with on days like this.

Good luck out there…

@repository12345 @himgajria You got me - as you’ll see based on my other answers in this thread, this is 100% about my bags.

[JonasHornehoj @JonasHornehoj]

@Variance_ADA @himgajria My guess is the latter, but could be wrong ofc

[JonasHornehoj @JonasHornehoj]

@rebelwithsnacks @himgajria Again - euphoria is *market emotions*. Ie the sentiment of the entire investor class. Not the select people with the “right coins”.

Also wanna reiterate. Not saying I’m right - just observing sentiment and emotions

[JonasHornehoj @JonasHornehoj]

@trenchplanet @himgajria Just wanna be clear this conversation has nothing to do with my positions.

Im genuinely just observing sentiment and I personally have not seen widespread thrill or euphoria at all.

Every other “cycle” has had *widespread* euphoria - where only ones not feeling it had 0 alloc

[JonasHornehoj @JonasHornehoj]

@CardanoSardine @himgajria I’m not crying ser - I have done okay this “cycle”. I’m merely observing sentiment

[JonasHornehoj @JonasHornehoj]

@himgajria Euphoria is not a price on a chart sir. It’s an emotion. Every other cycle has ended with basically everyone *feeling* euphoric - have seen limited cases of this at best.

So unless this time is different, then euphoria still to come.

Not saying I’m right - just observations

[JonasHornehoj @JonasHornehoj]

@SM1TTY41 @himgajria So all of 2025 has been complacency move?

[JonasHornehoj @JonasHornehoj]

@toptheriskcurve @himgajria Macro top should imply macro emotions. Can’t say the entire crypto market is topping with euphoria because of a few standalone cases imo.

Past 3 cycles have ended with everyone being a genius - so unless “this time is different” then we didn’t get euphoria
