I hunt for new perp DEXs and farm potential airdrops, and I share my strategies here.
I’m also into meme coins and newly launched tokens, and I share interestin
Today, I was truly inspired by @iruletrenches, and I've decided to donate 25 $BEM to support the @TapeOutCF@TapeOutWorld community.
It may be a small contribution, but I genuinely want to do my part in helping this ecosystem grow.
Right now, the TapeOut community is growing thanks to the dedication and hard work of so many incredible people.
There will undoubtedly be challenges and obstacles along the way, but I strongly believe this community has what it takes to overcome them.
Great things are never built without challenges, and I believe TapeOut is no exception.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who continues to contribute their time, energy, and passion to this ecosystem in so many different ways.
I'm proud to be a small part of this journey.

@Blonskr@zakk_okx@bitcoin2themars@BruceBlue You don't have to rush through everything—this project isn't something that can be accomplished overnight. It really requires a long-term perspective.
I completely agree with this.
The crypto market is being ruined by paid promotions from KOLs, unethical practices by VCs, and outright fraudulent behavior from projects themselves.
Just look at what's happening across the industry.
Some projects openly raise millions of dollars, make endless excuses, and then disappear without ever holding a TGE.
Others completely ignore the early users who supported them from day one, rewarding their communities with a miserable 0.1%–0.5% of the token supply, while allocating massive amounts of tokens to their own wallets.
Then they list on centralized exchanges (CEXs) and engage in blatant pump-and-dump schemes.
And it's not just the projects.
I've personally witnessed similar behavior from meme coin KOLs I've followed.
Before publicly promoting a meme coin, one KOL would secretly accumulate large positions across multiple wallets.
Then he would call the token in his Telegram channel, wait for his followers to buy in, and dump his holdings on them.
Eventually, another KOL exposed what he was doing.
After that, his meme coin trading performance became absolutely terrible.
It turned out he wasn't making money because he was a skilled trader. He was making money by manipulating his own followers.
This is how broken the crypto market has become.
But despite all of this, I don't believe crypto is going to die.
Even in a market filled with manipulation, greed, and bad actors, I believe truly exceptional builders and leaders will continue to emerge.
Just like Hyperliquid did.
Real innovation doesn't disappear just because the market is corrupted.
And great projects don't need to rely on manipulation to create lasting value.
I genuinely hope that participants in the crypto market finally wake up, face reality, and start reflecting on their own actions.
Look at tapeout. One of the most interesting ideas I've come across lately.
But since none of the tokens associated with it are sending, nobody gives a Fk
Now rewind to the beginning of this year.
Remember Moltbook? That AIagent Reddit bullshit?
The whole thing felt like an absolute LARP, but the token was sending. Within days, it was pushing $100M+ and suddenly everyone became an expert on AI agents.
"OMG, AGENTS ARE THE FUTURE!"
Every token remotely associated with that narrative started pumping.
Nobody cared whether the product actually worked. Nobody questioned the technology. Nobody asked whether it was sustainable.
The chart was green, so the technology was revolutionary.
Now look at tapeout.
Potentially fascinating technology, interesting possibilities, but because the associated tokens aren't printing money, the entire narrative barely gets any attention.
We don't use technology to determine which tokens deserve to pump. We use pumping tokens to determine which technology deserves our attention.
A $100M market cap can make absolute bullshit look like the future.
And a flat chart can make genuinely interesting innovation look irrelevant.
We've reached a point where price action has replaced curiosity, research, and critical thinking.
We don't discover narratives anymore.
We wait for a green candle to tell us what to believe in.
That's how fking backwards this market has become.
Pacifica's Print feature could become a massive competitive advantage in today's overcrowded perp DEX market.
I've been trying out many of the countless perp DEXs popping up lately, just in case I miss out on something. But to be honest, I struggle to see what actually makes most of them stand out.
Maybe it's because so many of them are essentially built using the same code.
This reminds me of the days when countless Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains were launching one after another.
From my experience, the projects that survive and succeed in such a crowded market are usually the ones that have at least one unique strength that sets them apart.
And right now, I genuinely believe Pacifica's Print feature could be that powerful weapon that gives it an edge over the competition.
You guys should definitely give it a try too!

The Pacifica Print Competition is here!
1,000,000 points are up for grabs.
Compete over two weeks to earn Print premium and climb the leaderboard.
Here’s how it works 🧵
Almost every early-stage crypto project goes through phases like this.
During these periods, some existing holders leave, new investors come in, and the cycle repeats. Over time, this process helps build a stronger community.
I personally hold a significant amount of $BEM and own many mining machines, but to be honest, I don't really pay much attention to the price.
I simply believe that $BEM has the potential to become one of the top 5 cryptocurrencies in 2026 or 2027, and I'm willing to wait patiently.
This is an amazing proposal!
If more successful projects like Firsto emerge within the ecosystem, it would be a huge step forward for TapeOut.
If these projects continue to grow together and support each other, I believe @TapeOutWorld can eventually become one massive ecosystem.
It seems like OKX is working hard to revive X Layer. I feel like they're trying to position @TapeOutWorld as a key project to drive the resurgence of the X Layer ecosystem.
More opportunities to build on X Layer.
We're partnering with @TapeOutWorld to offer builders at least $100K in rewards.
Join our livestream to explore TapeOut, learn how to participate and ask the team your questions.

I first started paying attention to TapeOut when I saw CZ interacting with Blonskr on X. At first, I was simply interested because I thought there might be an opportunity to make some money. I even bought mining machines and started mining, but to be completely honest, I didn't really understand what this project was all about in the beginning. As time went on, I gradually began to understand its vision. I started noticing more and more people gathering around Blonskr, wanting to become part of the community he was building. And now, it seems that even OKX is actively supporting the project. TapeOut brings back the feelings I had when I first entered the crypto market. It reminds me of the excitement and sense of discovery I felt when DeFi first emerged and NFTs were just beginning to take off. That feeling of witnessing something completely new being born. Right now, TapeOut might not look like something extraordinary to everyone. But I believe this project will evolve much faster than most people expect. Smart people naturally attract other smart people, and that's how strong communities are built.

I've been using a lot of perpDEXs, but I feel like @pacifica_fi is the easiest platform to farm points on.
The Print feature is actually really fun to use.
