“Why is sol dying?”
You used to have ppl flexing 6-7 fig PNLs on multi 8-9 fig coins and now we have people flexing $400k PNL from bundling 5-6%. Nobody is going to buy on top of you duvemeister.
People used to buy .5-1% and bag work hard. It’s all they needed. $1B coin owning 1% is $10m. As market has gotten worse, ppl realized they could increase % held and make the same money at lower market caps + it’s easier and coins are more likely to hit lower mc vs higher. This is basically when everything went downhill bc a high trust environment became low trust.
Now you have 500 people doing this 24/7 on every coin launched on the Solana blockchain and people wonder why nothing goes above $100k when we used to have daily 1-20m coins.
Stop being greedy. Less is more. Buy 1-2% and chill and you will make more money bc ppl will actually buy on top of you. There are always more opportunities but this will not be the case if ppl continue to drive away the players of this game we all love.
I am seriously asking people to please be better. Do better. Stop using sides. Stop bundling 30%, stop fucking vamping and rugging. See coin you like, buy 1-2%, hold, talk about it. You will be surprised but we would all make infinitely more money if we all were to abide by some simple, unwritten rules. I do think eth would help w bundling bc it would make us much more costly.
Nobody is coming to fix this place. It is on us. If it doesn’t get fixed we will only be able to blame ourselves.
The best form of managing this is group chat owners keeping tabs on ppl in their gcs. You find out someone is rugging/bundling/fucking over someone else in the group? Kick them and blast them on Twitter. Get them ostracized by others for being a shitty person and having no morals. This is how it used to be and what we should return to. It keeps ppl in line bc they want better flow of information and friends.
I will be starting a group chat eventually filled with people I think are good humans + have good intentions for the ecosystem + know how to hold.
End of rant. Plz give me your thoughts, especially if you’ve been around here a while.

Elon Musk just diagnosed the disease no one admits they have.
Life has become a triage ward.
Pay the bill. Dodge the crisis. Survive the week.
Repeat until dead.
Musk: “Life cannot just be about solving one miserable problem after another. That can’t be the only thing.”
Most people can name every problem they are running from.
They cannot name a single thing they are running toward.
That is the disease.
You did not lose your purpose. You replaced it with maintenance.
Musk: “There need to be things that inspire you. That make you glad to wake up in the morning and be part of humanity.”
Glad to be part of humanity.
When was the last time you felt that.
Not relief. Not distraction. Not the dull numbness of a weekend burning down to Sunday night.
Actual gladness that you exist.
Most people cannot answer that question. Not because the answer is painful. Because they have never been asked.
We have spent decades staring at the floor. Sweeping the same dirt into the same corner of the same room.
Musk quotes Tsiolkovsky: “Earth is the cradle of humanity, but you cannot stay in the cradle forever.”
The cradle is warm. The cradle is safe. The cradle is small.
And a species that refuses to leave it is not being cautious.
It is dying slowly in the only room it has ever known.
Musk: “It is time to go forth, become a starfaring civilization… and expand the scope and scale of human consciousness.”
Look up tonight.
Billions of galaxies. Trillions of stars. An ocean of light stretching 93 billion light years in every direction.
And one tiny wet rock figured out how to wonder why it exists.
We are not passengers on this planet.
We are the universe waking up.
And right now the only conscious thing in the universe is trapped in one room arguing about the electricity bill.
The problems will never end. There will always be another fire.
But you were not built to fight fires.
The universe was dark for 13.8 billion years.
Then it opened one eye.
You.
