Legend. Your work makes my work possible. @pzeroai is how both of my companies source inference. @Agent0ai, Buzz, pzero studio, @pidotdev , no matter the harness, it just works and thanks to its discount structure, keeps me working longer.

[Jae Task @JaeTask]

I taught myself to code at nine on a ZX81. Governments, banking, HP research, National Lottery of Ireland, BBC Travel, DeFi protocols. Sixteen years self-employed without a loss-making year.

None of that prepared me for the day the models passed me.

For two years I’ve lived in Cursor. Early adopter. Top 4% of users in last year’s report. Ten-hour days talking to Opus, Sonnet, GPT, Composer, Grok. I built my own agentic stack when OpenClaw landed, then a multi-agent DeFi game that pushed those early systems to the edge. That game became PZERO.

The click came while building the game. One long session. Eighty man-hours of work, at a quality I had never hit in a single day. That was the moment I knew my decades of shipping were no longer the ceiling. Inference had moved past me. And from that day, the gap was only going to get bigger.

Last week I watched it widen again. We spent hours locking a plan, then let Opus 5 run a single loop on a single problem for 7.5 hours. Our team sat through the run and the testing. In my head that was an eight-person sprint team from a decade ago, compressed into one day.

We’re going vertical. Experience didn’t die. It moved. The scarce skill is directing systems that out-execute you, then building rails for the agents that will do the work.

That’s the bet I’m making with PZERO. If the gap only gets bigger, the winners won’t be the people who type the fastest. They’ll be the ones who build markets agents can actually buy from.

@DoctorDeFi @SilverSwapDex @SonicLabs @sonic_strategy @MitchellDemeter It's not about handouts. It's about the population. When the city is abandoned because of crime and mismanagement no business succeeds. Many protocols brought life. Slabs nuked their own city and population. You know this truth

[miah0x 🛡️ @miah0x]

@DoctorDeFi @SilverSwapDex @SonicLabs @sonic_strategy @MitchellDemeter If a business builds in a city because there's a vibrant population, promising incentives and demand for their service, then mayor & team destroy the city through fraud or poor management, that's not an introspection problem. You should demand answers too

> Sounds a lil bit anti-islam but hey

Fuck statements like this.

Similarly, fuck claiming that standing up for Gazans', West Bankers, Lebanese, Syrian people's right to live in peace and not get encroaching settlements, constant drone strikes and bombs is antisemitic.

And fuck claiming that standing up for Ukrainian people's right to live in peace and not be invaded is Russophobic.

And fuck not even noticing the needless and extreme manmade suffering in Sudan, Myanmar, North Korea and elsewhere.

And fuck the possibility that in the future statements like this will have to include a line for Greenland.

We stand for human dignity. That is the bottom line. You can disagree on details of individual situations and what specific actions hurt or help, but the bottom line in resolving such issues must be a common agreement that the underlying goal is to protect the dignity of all people. This is more important than political teams.

There are also people who are on the same political team as you, but whose words and actions clearly demonstrate that they are not interested in human dignity - genuine *phobes who use appeals to freedom and life opportunistically. This must also be opposed. Again, the north star is human dignity. To be ultimately more interested not in pushing the people you oppose down, but in lifting the people you feel sympathy for up. If you observe the long-term pattern of how someone acts, you can tell.

Easiest way to stimi the eco:

Buy $S at 10 Cents, pair with #USDC and provide LP on your own network @SonicLabs

More fees for the dexes, token price of dexes goes up, new projects launch to earn those emissions and you somehow get a functioning eco

@ripster47 @Tim54811441 would you suggest those same MA settings for a 24/7 market such as crypto?

[Celey @celey93]

For years, yield-bearing tokens have been a square peg trying to fit into the round hole that is DeFi.

40Acres is building the missing piece. Our goal is to finally let yield-bearing assets work like money. 🫏

[miah0x 🛡️ @miah0x]

yo new @Zcash friends. Jumping on the bandwagon with the new @zashi_app wallet. Super slick. My bright idea was to fund it by sweeping a bunch of old wallets. Nothing but failed quotes in the app. Do I need to start with some ZEC to make nearSwaps work? halp

[Red Goglz @red_goglz]

Why do we keep holding our bleeding bags even when told to sell and f*ck off?

Let’s be honest. Despite being down only, a lot of us are still stuck with our $S bags.

Price action has been terrible, and Sonic leadership is inconsistent (to put it mildly): loose commitments, announcements of announcements, last-minute changes of plan, radio silence when the community panics and the list goes on.

And yet, most of us keep finding reasons to hold and believe.

Why is that? Why do we let that big fist glide deeper and deeper? 🤜🍩

It’s psychology.

🧠 SUNK-COST FALLACY

We’ve already invested time, money and effort. Our brains hate admitting loss, so instead of cutting and moving on, we double down: "If I just hold a little longer, maybe it will come back."

Evolution wired our brains to avoid admitting mistakes, because mistake = failure = loss of reputation (in our imaginary tribe) = diminishing chances of survival and replication.

🧠 COMMITMENT BIAS

People support their past ideas even when presented with evidence that they’re wrong.

FTM had great tech and an incredible run. Sonic has the best tech and hence it will have an even more incredible run. That's what we'd like to believe.

Now, let's look at the facts. We're in a bull market, our competitors are reaching ATHs and is bleeding since February. Yet we still convince ourselves that "our time will come, FTM/Sonic was always the last to moon." Why does it happen?

Ultimately, it’s all about status. We try to convince ourselves, because when we convince ourselves it’s easier to convince others. To convince of what? That we’re rational decision-makers and that we’re right.

We justify our behaviours to save face, i.e., to preserve our status. Bag-holding is, deep down, from an evolutionary perspective, about being part of a tribe and climbing the ladder in that tribe... by being right.

🧠 STOCKHOLM SYNDROME

When leadership ignores us, blocks critics or goes silent, weirdly we find justifications for their toxic behaviour, like hostages empathizing with captors.

We tell ourselves: "They must have a good reason. Andre will return. He’s cooking. The silence is strategy."

Our brain bends reality to avoid the pain of rejection and betrayal. Despite Soniclabs being some dudes on the internet, just like you and I, for our brain it’s like we’re part of a tribe. And when the top dogs call you "poor" or tell you to "sell and f*ck off," it feels like rejection and betrayal. Our brain hates that feeling and does mental gymnastics to reduce it.

Again, rejection = lower status = diminishing chances of survival and replication, hence that terrible feeling.

🧠 TRIBAL LOYALTY

Humans are wired for group belonging. "Don’t marry your bags" is easier said than done. Crypto isn’t just about money, it’s about belonging. Even the ones who don’t marry their bags, are proudly part of the tribe "that doesn’t marry its bags".

When Sonic pumps even 10%, dopamine floods in. We celebrate together, months of pain forgotten and start bull-posting like nothing happened.

But when the chart bleeds? The same wiring kicks in. We don’t leave, we huddle tighter, bond over shared frustration and look for scapegoats (Andre, Matt, Wintermute, SEC, SonicSVM, etc.).

That’s our inner caveman: stick with the tribe in feast and famine, even if the chief is a genius with a fragile ego.

So…

WHAT SHOULD WE DO? 🤔

Alas, I have no good answer for you, because I’m in the same boat.

Acknowledging the addiction doesn’t cure it. Similarly, being aware of those biases doesn’t neutralize their effect.

What has occasionally worked is… selling. (I say "occasionally" because when you’re part of a cult, stepping out of it is super difficult.)

The little voice in your head: "I know I should sell, but when I sell I’m afraid it will pump!"

Solution: sell a little bit, just to desensitize your brain. The next sell will be easier.

However, for some folks the pain must reach unbearable levels before their brain screams: "Your survival matters more than belonging to that stupid tribe on TG, Twitter and Discord. Keep holding and you’ll end up totally broke and then you’ll die lonely, unloved and despised!" Only then will they wake up and realize "F#%k, I made a mistake. I should’ve sold earlier."

And the really f#ck3d-up part is that when you reach that level of pain, you very likely sell… the bottom.

Sigh... 😫

The biggest scam in life is paying taxes on the money you earn. Paying taxes on the money you spend. Paying taxes on things you own that you already paid taxes on with already taxed money. And on top those MFs inflate the rest.
