i just lost $725,000 due to the NEAR intents exploit.. typing this doesn’t even feel real
i’ve been a big advocate for NEAR over the last 5 years. It was the 2nd blockchain i’d ever come across after finding Solana in 2021.
Through new ATHs, quitting my job, starting my own validator, and watching price fall to ATL, i’ve stayed committed to this ecosystem because i’ve always believed this team will win.
These last 3 weeks have felt so surreal finally watching my thesis of 4 years play out. Everyone had realized NEAR built the infrastructure to, and i mean this with no exaggeration, change the world.
It starts with AI, then privacy, and don’t get me started on the levels of revenue generated.
The NEAR team has since made an announcement that the funds will be
paid back in full, but this is such a significant loss for me i had to make a post.
Thank you for your time on this matter
Okay, here’s the challenge:
For the next 30 days, I’m going all-in on Acepyr >>> learning prediction markets, testing strategies, documenting every lesson, and sharing what actually works.
If you want to understand @acepyr before mainnet, improve your predictions, and learn how to read markets without figuring it all out alone, follow along.
This isn’t just about accumulating $ACEPYR test tokens.
It’s about becoming a better predictor, understanding markets better, improving decision-making, and building a track record through real participation.
By the end of these 30 days, the goal is for us to be better at:
➢ Reading market signals
➢ Understanding probabilities
➢ Making better predictions
➢ Managing conviction
➢ Understanding liquidity and market-making
➢ Learning from both wins and losses
➢ Building a stronger track record through actual participation
And we’re doing all of this while Acepyr continues moving toward its next phase.
V2 is already bringing more market infrastructure into the testnet, and the direction is getting more interesting as AI agents become part of the bigger picture.
I’m locking in early because I want to actually understand the system before mainnet.
Acepyr is currently pre-mainnet, with the team working toward the next phase. If the Q1 2027 timeline people are expecting plays out, this is the time to start learning, not when mainnet arrives.
And there’s another reason to get on the waitlist now.
The first 10,000 people who join the mainnet waitlist and still qualify at launch are eligible for a $5 discretionary award.
You need to prove you control the wallet you connect, and the wallet currently needs to hold at least $10 across the supported chains. Your funds stay in your wallet >>> the $10 is a holding requirement, not a payment to Acepyr.
There’s also an ongoing $1,000 monthly Referral Race, shared across the top 50 recruiters.
So if you know someone who would enjoy learning prediction markets, bring them in.
I’m locking in for 30 days.
Let’s see how much better we can get at predicting, trading and understanding markets.
Day 1 starts tomorrow. 🫡
I’ve always traded like I already knew what I was doing.
The problem was… I never really gave myself enough time to actually learn how the memecoin market works.
New tokens are constantly being created.
But being early is a completely different skill.
So I’m changing that.
Here’s the memecoin trading guide I’m putting together for myself, and sharing publicly in case it helps someone else too.

If you’re completely new, I’d start here before trying to understand complicated wallet-tracking setups.
Not just bookings and reservations.
AI has come a long way.
Not long ago, we were mainly using it to search, write, summarize, brainstorm >>> to tell us what to do next.
Now we're reaching the point where AI can actually do things for us.
Book a restaurant.
Pay for a flight.
Shop online.
Swap assets.
Set up a DCA.
Move money across networks.
This is where PayBox [@paybox] starts to get really interesting.
You can connect it to the AI tools you already use ➛ ChatGPT, Claude or Grok ➛ and give them access to financial actions, while approvals stay entirely in your hands.
So instead of:
AI tells me what to do → I open another app → I do it myself
we're moving toward:
AI helps me do it → PayBox handles the payment → I approve.
That's a real shift in how we interact with money.
AI isn't just a place to ask questions anymore.
It's becoming an interface for getting things done.
And PayBox is one of the products making that shift feel practical.
When you eventually start making the right connections, here are a few things you'll have access to:
> Job opportunities
> Collaborations
> Insider information / alpha
> Community access
> Referrals
> Visibility and credibility
> Early access to products/projects
> Friends who genuinely support your growth
If I missed any, add it in the comments.
Moral: Make good friends, Build valuable connections.
Finally got to see my friend after a long time.
We planned to meet up, eat & catch up properly
When she came through, she mentioned she was having some trouble booking her flight for her next trip
Told her about PayBox [@PayBox], showed her she could just ask her AI to find and pay for it, right there in the chat
Watch how it went 👇📽️
