Tinman AI, wholesale expansion, home equity. There are multiple ways for $BETR 2.0 to grow. Very happy to see Garg going after all of them.

Quantum randomness finding a use onchain is pretty interesting

[Catq.eth @catqpx]

what interests me about @quipnetwork is how it approaches quantum from several different entry points rather than one standalone product.

the compute marketplace is about access to hardware.

QVRF focuses on making quantum randomness verifiable.

QuipSwap explores cross chain trading without traditional bridge infrastructure.

and QFTs bring quantum generated randomness into onchain collectibles.

different use cases, but one broader challenge connects them:

making specialized technology accessible without requiring everyone to understand the underlying hardware first.

the real measure of this ecosystem won't be how many features it has.

it'll be whether developers and users find practical reasons to keep using them.

that’s the part worth following as the network develops.

this is only a personal perspective sharing project information, not investment advice.

Anyone else noticing how thin bitcoin's order books get on weekends?

[doug funnie @cryptoklotz]

stonk update:

like all of onchain across all platforms, stonk entered a low-vol grinddown to hell on sept 21, when BTC topped, did a bart, and also did a grinddown toward pretty sketchy levels

i've never been faked out to the upside so many times before - this looked like it was back on track at least 3x during this grinddown.

right now it's skipping off "range" lows (if you can call it that - and forgive this chart being a genuinely deranged meme, there's little to no structure, so i just mark out any nano-structure i see on different timeframes and see what sticks)

would be poetic here if BTC (which is hammering against range highs in a sort of ascending triangle) finally breaks through at this "big week" moment on stonk and gets it into a new uptrend.

generally think stonk going sideways here (at the least) is v bullish if BTC continues to just range. means eventually the buyback/burn will start lifting price higher as the last of the speculative premium tide washes out

if this re-enters an unambiguous uptrend, i expect:

solana:HcRLc9VDgjLeK154xDawfb1dmVJ98DoSqcwTHGqiDeJR (which isn't waiting around) to keep ripping. i think this is kinda showing the path. i also think a launchpad's memes can outperform or decouple from the pad token, and that appears to clearly be happening here. if ZCAT can't do well, i don't think any net-new meme in 2026 can do well, tbh

solana:8RVBk8vxLiUHueLUW1f4izFVqN3nWippLhkohKg6EGkS it's a pure-play on stonk, and i think its yield/volume rips and quickly exits this sort of reaccumulation low, and people holding it in size will be swimming in free STONK the whole uptrend

solana:8t5C4AWDg4CroMChxdo7rG2e8nJM31QG2GG7Czx9X7x2 this is the only other coin on stonk that's shown insane relative strength during the past 10-14 days, and its entire run up is a massive narrative violation. low conviction copy traders are being replaced by high-conviction independent-research chads faster than the chart can keep up. i think sand kitten EXPLODES if stonk can begin a new uptrend

bullish many more tokens on stonk - this is not an exhaustive list, but my three highest conviction coins

Canny idea, reputation should count for something in crypto

[Saino @Sainoleno]

Gn, gcleus

Reputation Should Matter

A healthy crypto ecosystem should reward more than capital.

Builders who keep shipping.

Developers solving hard problems.

Researchers digging through data.

Teachers helping newcomers understand the space.

Community moderators keeping conversations useful.

Creators bringing attention to products that actually deserve it.

Contributors who keep showing up even when there is no immediate reward.

Today, a lot of on-chain activity is still measured through wallets, transactions, liquidity, volume and financial activity.

But those numbers don't always tell you who is actually contributing value.

Someone can have a small wallet and still be one of the most useful people in a community.

Someone can contribute for months without being a whale.

Someone can consistently provide research, education, moderation, code or content without having a huge financial footprint.

That is where reputation infrastructure starts to make sense.

If contribution can be verified and reputation can build over time, crypto can move toward rewarding people based on what they actually do, not only on how much capital they control.

That's the kind of missing layer projects like @NucleusCodes are working around.

The next phase of crypto shouldn't only ask:

“How much do you hold?”

It should also ask:

“What have you contributed?”

“What have you built?”

“Can your work be verified?”

“Have you earned trust over time?”

Reputation can become a much stronger signal when it is backed by real activity.

And that could change how communities recognize contributors, allocate opportunities and build long term trust.

Crypto has financial infrastructure.

The next layer may be infrastructure for human contribution and reputation.

That pumpkin loaf looks cracking, butter is absolutely the right move

[Lädy Ä @aphotomama]

I am living my best “granny life” right now 🤣 A hot toddy of chamomile, spiced cider and bourbon & buttered pumpkin loaf.
I fucking love fall. 🍁

[Cole V @ColeSedona]

This is the face of a man who tried to steal $750K from $BETR holders. Thankfully the payment got stopped by @vishal_better before the money ever left.

[grumpyeth.eth @Ymt0Hl9YkveQWGx]

This one's for the books $BETR @vishal_better

[Leonard Costa @lleonardcosta]

DAAAAAMN @danielsethlewis $BETR

[benny kim @k8mbenny_]

Watching this as a $BETR investor is infuriating. Garg says shareholders lost $250M, he personally lost about $40M the same day he was fired, and four days later the guy who fired him was off to the South of France for a month.
We took the hit. They took the vacation.

[benny kim @k8mbenny_]

Product. Distribution. Partnerships. AI. Profitability.

That’s the conversation I want around $BETR.

Vishal Garg is at least talking about where the company goes NEXT. That’s why I’m voting GREEN

[benny kim @k8mbenny_]

Bitcoin gave back the early pump same as it always does when the market starts pricing in more rate hikes. four years watching this chart and it still moves on the same rumors. hold. skull

[benny kim @k8mbenny_]

Canaan lost $97 million last quarter and sold crypto to fund share buybacks. A mining rig manufacturer dipping into coin reserves to prop up its own stock. The circle of life in this space stays undefeated. 💀

[benny kim @k8mbenny_]

xrp just outpaced bitcoin on korean exchanges, volume up 273%. same cycle, different ticker. still holding.

[benny kim @k8mbenny_]

xrp had a wild august. september might be bigger. shrug. still holding.

[benny kim @k8mbenny_]

stablecoins propping up short term t bills is cute but the treasury still staring down a $28B hole in 10-30 year bonds

GENIUS reserves cap at 93 days

some problems run deeper than on chain liquidity

[benny kim @k8mbenny_]

xrp active addresses up 654% in two weeks, price at 1.55 resistance. on chain wakes up before price sometimes. other times just noise.

[Coin Hunter @bycoinhunter]

People aren’t ready for what ETH is about to do.

[Crypto Rover @cryptorover]

5 years of pain.

Zero gains.

RIP crypto holders.
