Imagine crypto as an industry if we had more than one somewhat high integrity projects like Hyperliquid and not absolute scams like literally anything else
🚨@fomo founder reveals a surprising stat:
"90% of users on fomo today are not Crypto Twitter."
Out of 600,000 users, more than 500,000+ came from:
• TikTok
• YouTube
• Instagram
• Word of mouth
Many of them had never traded on-chain before.
The next wave of crypto adoption isn't coming from CT.
Se: "The only way crypto actually breaks into the traditional world is if you don't have to know it's crypto."

This 25 year old Turkish dishwasher raised $145 MILLION selling virtual cows backed by real cows that didn't exist
Mehmet Aydin was working as dishwasher in Bursa who rapped on YouTube under the name Egoman
In 2016, he kidnapped his own employee over a rival betting site, recorded himself threatening the guy on his own phone and got 7 years that were later reduced to a 7 month sentence
Weeks later he registered a company in Northern Cyprus, copied the FarmVille code, called it Ciftlik Bank and got users to start buying virtual cows for a promised 100% annual return
The app had cartoon cows, chickens and sheep priced from 100 lira up to 5,000 lira per animal
Every animal "lived" for 365 days and produced virtual milk or eggs that paid out 100% returns straight to the user's bank account
The animals needed virtual food and virtual barn storage to stay alive, so users had to keep depositing real money every month to keep their cows from dying
He built two physical "show farms" in central Turkey so investors could visit them and see their virtual cows in person
Each real cow had a numbered ear tag matching the user's app, so a Turkish investor could fly out to Bolu and see his own animals
Famous Turkish actors and the country's biggest TV host promoted Ciftlik Bank live on primetime national television under the slogan "Sizin markaniz", which means "your brand"
132,222 people deposited $145 million into the game over 18 months while Aydin personally stole $42 million without ever building the rest of the farms
After this he fled to Uruguay with his 18 year old wife Sila on a private jet and paid the airline an extra $10,000 just so she could smoke on board
Once they landed in Montevideo, he bought her a $640,000 Ferrari, a $2.75 million villa and a $1.75 million yacht that he renamed Silam after her
Within months he was cheating on her with his Brazilian secretary Caroline, beat her when she confronted him about it and told her "thanks to me you live in luxury, you'll put up with me"
When Turkish regulators charged him with illegally using the word "Bank" his defense was that the Turkish dictionary defines bank as a park bench
The victims printed $350,000 dead or alive bounty posters and put them up in Uruguay and Kyiv
In 2021, mafia boss Sedat Peker publicly outed Aydin's protectors inside the Turkish state on Twitter and Aydin surrendered to the consulate in Sao Paulo three days later
He got 45,376 years in prison and his release date is the year 47,401
at the beginning of every crypto bull market to create wealth effect + bring back retail attention, you need:
- one crypto major to go parabolic
- one crypto meme to go parabolic
in 2017/18 it was btc & xrp
in 2020/21 it was eth & doge
in 2023/24 it was sol & pepe
Bring back good devs and communitys pls
I want to buy coins with such an obsessed dev/community and delusional goals that will bagwork for the rest of their lives
Is this too much to ask for
@FakeRosaParkXBT@BagsApp@finnbags The volume shown in the image is only the bonding curve volume. Less than 7% of the total volume.
Total volume is 450 million. $4.5 million is today's revenue.
Plus... $1.5-2 million that hasn't been claimed and never will be. So $6m

That's not true. You have a thin, less muscular body type; I know your physique. You're well below your genetic limit. Your fat-to-muscle ratio is much lower than the guy in the photo.
You weigh even less than 80 kilos. All your weight loss may not be muscle but for sure water.
When the water under the skin drains, the muscles become more defined, and you think you're burning fat.
But it's great for your health, keep going. Your cancer risk is reduced by 2-3 times. However, the guy in the photo, who has reached his genetic limits, can only burn fat and drop to 10-12% body fat percentage with mantaining his existing muscle mass in 6 months, with a maximum daily calorie deficit of 150-250 and sufficient protein intake, as stated in the main tweet. There is no other way. With your method, he would lose all the muscle he painstakingly gained in 2 years. 4 years would be wasted.
@0x_iulianivg@degenharambe@BonesawMD It might be true for someone weighing 80 kilos. The man in the photo weighs 110-120 kilos and has reached his genetic limits in terms of muscle mass. He has max gained 5 kilos of muscle in the last 2 years through regular exercise and diet, and he will lose it all in 6days fast.
A coin that wants to reach multi-billions needs a few real things:
a leader, a clear mission statement, a story people can believe in, and a community that doesn’t fold when it gets hard. It also needs a meme with actual substance something that can break out of crypto and pull in outside attention.
Without those, it’s just a giant internal echo chamber. And echo chambers don’t scale.
