Where did all the crypto experts go? 👀
My feed went from BTC, RWAs and DeFi to AI agents, LLMs and automation almost overnight.
Same accounts. Different narrative.
Were they really experts with conviction… or just following whatever the algorithm rewarded?
$WLD ran from $0.24 to ~$0.59 in three weeks, up ~68% on the week while the market dropped ~10%.
This isn't random altcoin rotation. There's an actual thesis driving it.
It started with @CryptoHayes, the BitMEX co-founder who now runs the investment firm Maelstrom. His firm put out a research note making the case for WLD, and Hayes pushed it hard to his following.
The argument: WLD is the cheapest way to bet on the AI IPO wave. Right now, investors who want exposure to OpenAI or Anthropic have to go through private deals, expensive SPVs, locked-up structures, at valuations in the hundreds of billions.
WLD, by contrast, is liquid, anyone can buy it, and it trades at only a ~$2B market cap. Tiny, by AI standards. Maelstrom's call is $5 by August.
There's a market backdrop helping too. Alts have started moving on their own instead of just following Bitcoin. BTC fell ~6% on June 2, but money kept rotating into risk, and the AI narrative is where most of it landed.
The honest part: this is a story-and-positioning trade, not a product one.
@worldcoin didn't ship anything new. The price is running on attention, which means it lives and dies on risk appetite, and it's already cooling, back around $0.52.
A proxy trade is only as strong as the story behind it. Right now the story is loud. Loud stories fade.
@CryptoHayes@zachxbt It don’t take rocket science to know if Hayes or any other KOL with a large amount of followers says “BUY” you better sell ASAP! You are not their mate and they owe you favours. Remember that!
The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze the 30,766 ETH being held in the address on Arbitrum One that is connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiter’s identity, and, at all times, weighed its commitment to the security and integrity of the Arbitrum community without impacting any Arbitrum users or applications.
After significant technical diligence and deliberation, the Security Council identified and executed a technical approach to move funds to safety without affecting any other chain state or Arbitrum users.
As of April 20 11:26pm ET the funds have been successfully transferred to an intermediary frozen wallet. They are no longer accessible to the address that originally held the funds, and can only be moved by further action by Arbitrum governance, which will be coordinated with relevant parties.
@coinbureau Too little too late. Won’t make any difference now. We see it so many times nowadays that the unacceptable becomes the acceptable. While Zach is offering 25k the major exchanges are raking it in, will just share a post mortem and be forgotten about in a week.
Pump and dump activity for $RAVE originated on @bitget@binance@Gate
Call to action for both @heyibinance@GracyBitget to do better and launch internal investigation offboarding the responsible actors.
Offering up to $10K bounty of my personal funds for whistleblowers to come forward privately to share evidence about parties involved
We cannot allow this blatant market manipulation by insiders controlling >90% RAVE support to further extract from retail investors.
@coingecko Staking is a loser’s game for most people. You lock up liquidity, take on extra risk, and get paid in inflation.
And buying fresh token launches? That’s exit liquidity 9 times out of 10.
Let it age. Let the hype die. Let the real price discovery happen.
Funny how all these KOLs have apparently made life-changing money from trading… yet still spend 18 hours a day posting “alpha”.
If I’d cracked the code like that, I’d be on a beach somewhere — not telling strangers to “buy the dip” for the 47th time this week.
Hearing about someone losing $50M on a crypto swap today… and walking away with just $36K.
I can’t imagine the weight of pressing that button yourself. Truly a brutal reminder of how unforgiving this space can be.
@Only1temmy If you have a large amount of followers then you are respected in some kinda way and still have influence over others and we all know this. Calling out a coin is bound to influence others into buying. Only takes one call like this to make money. Chose ur KOL WISELY
Teams got by before due to “number go up” so currently all of the bs projects get rekt deservedly.
The real issue is maybe 5-10 accounts max on CT publish quality content and none of them actively solicit marketing deals.
Still hitting ATH reach on investigations regardless of current market conditions.
