Kurumi is the symbol of long degeneracy.
@izebel_eth describes long degeneracy as the belief that the world only gets more financialized, speculative, lonely, tribal and weird.
i agree, and i think kurumi fits that world almost perfectly.
the normal path feels slower. assets get further away, job security feels worse, ai keeps speeding everything up and ppl start looking for ways to compress years of progress into one outcome.
why spend years moving one step at a time when the right trade can completely change ur trajectory?
thats the psychology kurumi represents.
the belief that one trade can change ur life, the euphoria when it works, the desperation to make it back when it doesn’t, sizing up, roundtripping, trying again. every trader relates to her 😭
and thats probably the most important part.
her panels already get used for wins, losses, liquidations, revenge trades, roundtrips etc because they actually describe our life.
relatability creates belonging.
$NEET works because ppl dont just laugh at the meme, they self insert into it. the meme becomes a way for ppl with the same lifestyle to recognize each other.
Milady took that even further. it stopped being just an image and became an identity, a tribe of extremely online ppl using the same character/aesthetic to recognize their own.
thats the potential i see in kurumi.
not just an anime character traders like, but the character that represents the terminally online trader.
and the timing is perfect.
oct 1 she gets pushed globally through crunchyroll while japan gets the anime across basically every major streaming platform.
someone watches kurumi staring at a catastrophic position and thinks “this is literally me”, posts the scene, sees traders already using her everywhere and eventually finds an entire community built around the same character.
then realizes there’s literally a $Kurumi coin.
japan already has a huge retail fx culture + an existing memecoin crowd, and now they’re getting an anime built around speculation itself.
even bloomberg was already talking about kurumi as a possible new face of japanese retail fx, replacing the old “mrs watanabe” archetype.
before the anime even aired.
crypto basically gives all the ppl who see themselves in kurumi something to gather around.
and now every week brings new scenes, memes, reactions and ppl into that culture right as risk appetite is coming back.
@niulai_on_bnb showed an animated cultural moment can become a 100m+ coin once crypto adopts it.
888m is the bigger bet.
kurumi escaping the anime entirely and becoming the symbol for this generation of ppl trying to change their life through a screen.
we are all kurumi.
long degeneracy, long $Kurumi
🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Every major network, Fox included, stopped filming Trump over his press ban, and the White House is reportedly launching its own TV
ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and even FOX stopped filming the president Monday, and Trump answered with an AI image of their logos stuffed in trash bags.
Trump TV will look fantastic at rallies, but nobody on that payroll is pointing a camera at the moments the White House would rather skip, and a country at war needs somebody who will.
Source: Axios, The Washington Post / Writer: Daniel
The White House dropped a trailer for TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station, set to go live at 7 p.m. ET. Ed Krassenstein quickly labeled it official state-run media, coming right after CNN, Politico, and MS NOW were locked out of the White House and the major networks paused the shared television pool. With Trump attending events in New York tonight, the launch looks more like branded official video than the start of an actual new live network.
