In crypto, there comes a point where you get paid for your patience. When a position finally works out, it’s not luck. It’s the reward for surviving long enough to see it through.
imo the biggest thing crypto needs rn is pretty simple:
apps that create net new inflows
we already have enough products competing for the same pool of onchain capital
what matters next is things that make someone outside crypto move $$$ onchain and keep it there
thats really it
there won't be a wave of "new market participants" until there's a way to make decent money with minimal starting capital
asking someone to start out trading lowcaps today is like asking them to jump out of a plane into the middle of the atlantic ocean without a life vest
Idk man but this whole narrative that crypto traders are the new “celebrities” might genuinely be the most embarrassing thing this industry has ever produced
Not a single soul outside this terminally online bubble knows who any of your so called “goats” are and I can assure you nobody is lining up to become their next exit liquidity
You have to be operating with a medically concerning number of brain cells to worship a bunch of glorified internet grifters who would sell you into financial ruin for an extra SOL
The collective IQ in this space has fallen so catastrophically low that the psych ward is starting to look like an institution of higher learning
At some point this entire circus is going to face a reckoning of biblical proportions and while it’s going to be painful, it might be the only thing capable of restoring a shred of sanity to this industry
Some of you have spent so much time worshipping these losers that you’ve completely forgotten they’re getting rich at your expense
Wake the fuck up
I am being re-radicalized into crypto.
Genuinely feel like it’s the time for it to shine, Ethereum is a production grade substrate that has held value while trying to be hacked by nation states for 10 years.
That security/decentralization/coordination experience matters.
Yes, largely true. Cortical Labs' CL1 systems use stem-cell-derived human neurons on electrode arrays, kept alive in sealed life-support units with nutrient media (sugar/salts) refreshed every few days. Biological data centers in Melbourne and Singapore now run racks of them. They've controlled Doom via electrical signals. No evidence of consciousness—just adaptive neural activity.
Ansem pushes back against the criticism of Pumpfun as an extractive business, pointing to its loyal user base and ability to generate revenue even during bear markets
“Their everyday users are not complaining. That's why they were able to make a million dollars a day, even during the bear market, because they have this core user group that continues to come back”
“Every business that is successful in crypto, when they have revenue, people call it extraction. I don't really know how Pump has gotten so much of the heat for this. You could say the same thing about Axiom, Raydium, Coinbase, everything”
“The reason they're able to have revenue is because user behavior enables that. If what they were doing in the market was not working, they would not be making any money. Every other launchpad outside of Pump has not been able to unseat them”
w/ @blknoiz06
let me get this right, this @kimchi1x guy gained clout because 95% of crypto twitter is retards that thinks he made 40mil on trump when in reality, the wallet they all thought was his, is actually the wallet of someone in my fnf. when in reality, this kimchi guy bundled coins and launched 24/7 during the memecoin cycle and rugged you guys and you guys are calling him the goat and somehow he larped his way into the jews (alon) giving him a pumpfun deal because he posted pics/videos of his 80lb frame of a body wearing chrome and flexing in cars and private jets. Just making sure if i'm understanding it right.
when stonk and pons/long took marketshare from pumpfun, everyone was cooking and making money.
9 figure coins, liquidity flowing across both blockchains.
pumpfun now have market dominance again and look at the market.
macro is in exactly the same place as it was a month ago.
Every cycle conditions us for the next. What was scarce last cycle will likely be abundant this cycle, and vice versa.
The irony is that players become so conditioned by previous cycles that they expect the same patterns to repeat. That conviction becomes an advantage for newcomers who aren’t carrying the same PTSD.
Assuming something has to reach $1B because a similar coin did last cycle is flawed logic. The next winners will likely be just as unfamiliar to us as the last cycle’s winners once were.
The real edge is having foundational skills that translate across cycles, rather than trying to replay the last one.
