Full disclosure, and just to get this out there publicly so that it's impossible to "leak". I haven't told anyone yet. Some people are making guesses. The reasoning is off, but they do hit certain areas. 👇
I might name the Chinese version of my book/memoir "币安人生". This is not related to any meme tokens or listings. But I embrace the meme culture. I like that meme/word. It's sticky, for me.
Disclaimer: I don't hold any "币安人生" meme coin, and have no intention to do so. And I also reserve all rights not to use that title. I might change my mind last minute.
The English name of the memoir will likely be completely different, not decided yet.
Book ETA, 4-6 weeks, English and Chinese version both at the same time. Self published. Takes too long to go through a publisher, even though they will likely help significantly with distribution.
All proceeds I receive from the book will go to charity. Not trying to make money from the book.🙏
True builders know crypto is a marathon, not a sprint. X Layer is built for the long run — and so are we. That’s why we’re launching a $100M X Layer Ecosystem Fund to support global builders shaping the next wave of onchain applications.
If you have long-term vision and real technology, we’re ready to be your partner. But if your goal is just a quick pump-and-dump token, we’re not the place for you.
TST got listed on Binance. A few thoughts:
1. CZ said “fundamentals”, then talks about a test coin turned meme coin.
I posted to clarify that TST was NOT endorsed by me/us. It was just a test token used in a video tutorial. But every clarification post just made it more viral for whatever reason. 😂
2. Is CZ shifting away from fundamentals? No. I am a builder. I always focus on fundamentals.
3. Is CZ “into” meme coins now? It depends on your definition of “into,” I haven’t bought a single meme coin so far.
4. Then, is CZ against meme coins? No. Not “into” something doesn’t mean I am against it. I am not into sports cars; I don’t collect art; I haven’t bought any NFTs; I also haven’t bought most altcoins (I hold BTC and BNB). But I am not against any of the above. And I think most of you’d agree, that I have worked hard and "gone to some lengths" to help many altcoins and the crypto industry in general. I adopt the same view towards meme coins.
5. Why did TST get listed on Binance? I don’t know for sure. I am entirely NOT involved in their listing process. Based on historical experience, people always complain, “Why do you list this but not the coin I hold?” You might not like to hear this, but the truth is: exchanges must compete to list popular coins (with trading volume) as early as possible. If your coin is actively sought after by traders, you don’t need to talk to exchanges. As I always say, work on your project, not the exchanges.
6. Why do people buy memes instead of utility tokens? I don’t know, but I will go on a limb and make a few speculations (pun intended).
6.1 During the last four years, a powerful regulatory agency sued almost anyone with any utility token, falsely claiming they are securities. So, people started to launch memes.
6.2 There are groups of traders known as speculators. Things with clear tangible value are harder to speculate on. They stay around the clear value. This is indeed a challenge for RWA. For example, a building whose value doesn’t fluctuate much may not have a lot of trading activity. Then, it won’t have much liquidity, and the order book becomes thin, then even less trading activity, a vicious cycle.
6.3 Memes are fun, etc. It’s a cultural thing. I am not an expert in this area. There are plenty of die-hard defenders of memes. Don’t go against the community.
7. Lastly, it’s clear there are lots of money ready to invest in the market. Lots of opportunities. You need to build things people want.
Happy building and happy memeing! And manage your risks. 🫡
