So its been a few days after DeNYC and Ive caught up on sleep, and I wanted to take a minute and reflect on what I saw during my few days in the Big Apple with some of the coolest degenerates in Web3. :) Thread 🧵1/

NFTs are finally about to matter. If you’re still in the nft space, read this.

What we do online has real-world impact. This is the NFT culture we believe in.

who remembers DeGods Remastered?

The #1 thing you can do to help @hytopia right now, is to start playing around with the new hytopia-neo framework, and posting content around it. We need a second wave of creators for this new more performant framework. I know we ask the community a lot, but if you have been or are now interested in creating games on hytopia, now is the most critical time, and it would be incredibly appreciated. If you're not interested, or don't have time to create a full game on neo, you can still help us by making cool or useful plugins, and sharing those with other developers or just using them to create content and build awareness. We're pumping out platform improvements, chat/social system has been updated and is continuing to get refactored, microtransactions are LIVE in Neo, and we have a ton more coming soon, and coming FAST. Thanks Hytopians, I believe we're nearing a breakthrough! ❤️

#Altcoins It’s finally happened!🤯🔥 Altcoins have broken out of their six-month downtrend. I know it hasn’t been easy, and I know many people are still in bear mode, but I think that in 2026 we’ll see the altcoin rally we’d been hoping for in 2025.🚀

OTHERS/BTC (1M) - The signal that started the last 2 altseasons is forming again. Zoom out. Every major altcoin expansion started the same way: 🔹OTHERS/BTC breaks out of a falling wedge 🔹Squeeze Momentum turns green When those two align, altcoins start massively outperforming Bitcoin. 2017 🚀 2021 🚀 But this cycle was different. After the 2021 peak, the Squeeze Momentum stayed red for years. That meant: 🔹Prolonged Bitcoin dominance 🔹No real altseason Now something interesting is happening. OTHERS/BTC just broke out of another multi-year falling wedge. And momentum is rising again. If the Squeeze Momentum flips green, the same conditions that triggered previous altseasons could return. And when that happens… The biggest moves usually start when nobody expects them.

WHAT? 😱 2000 Bots at 144FPS! @threejs has done it again! The game browser revolution has begun!

Anybody telling you to sell Bitcoin right now AFTER 5 consecutive red months is a misinformed, low IQ, filthy imbecile who is 6 months too late to the sell button. The record is 6 consecutive RED months and afterwards we followed with 5 consecutive GREEN months. This is the part where you back up the truck and lock in 🚀🚀

Remember, I come from a background of building mobile apps over the last 1.5 decades and scaling them into 10's of millions of MAU. This approach is not new. As soon as we've iterated to effective monetization & measured LTV is >= 4x~ CPI, the flood gates will open.

Crypto Gaming is finding a floor and putting in some nice candles

Motley Fool just dropped a full feature: “How This AI Cryptocurrency Could Help You Retire a Millionaire” And the coin they’re calling the breakout AI play for 2026? $TAO Yes mainstream finance media, millions of readers, premium newsletter with a long track record of influencing retail flows. Key lines: - Ranks $TAO #1 AI coin by market cap - Only 10.5M circulating, hard-capped at 21M (Bitcoin-style scarcity) - Catalysts: surging global AI demand incoming Grayscale ETF (easier access for institutions/retail) - “As long as investors are excited about AI… they should be excited about Bittensor” - Potential 10–100x upside if AI keeps compounding This is the same outlet that’s guided normie investors into Nvidia, Tesla, Bitcoin early. When Motley Fool starts framing $TAO as the “one AI coin capable of a huge breakout year,” the narrative is shifting. Mainstream validation hitting at the perfect time right as subnets ship, data flows, reasoning improves, agents climb. Most still think Bittensor is niche. Articles like this change that fast. We’re early. $TAO 🔥 fool.com/investing/2026/01/0…

When I think about @hytopia averaging nearly 700K Minutes of Gameplay a day it really is mind boggling Just crazy stats that are starting to emerge and not a bit of chatter about what they are building... One day I think @base @GamingOnBase really secured an early winner 🥵

I don't care what anyone says, this game makes me feel warm inside. Vroom!

This Russell breakout started the 2017 and 2021 Altseason.

Wanted to give an update on @hytopia traction as we head into Q1 2026. A lot of exciting updates, as well as clarification on how the platform is starting to grow, and why it's growing the way it is. It's very important to recognize that traction and growth in @hytopia is being 90% dominated right now by the Asia / Southeast Asia markets for those curious. This is specifically driven by underserved countries with language barriers and lower end devices that most mobile games typically don't run well on or just don't optimize at all for. This is intentional. We started hitting this first because it gives us a lot of wins short and long term. 1. We had to build automated localization infrastructure to auto translate all content of all games without devs needing to do anything. All HYTOPIA games now play in every major language based on your device language, automatically. This is a benefit of building on web tech. Using a UI library would of made this a massive pain. 2. Targeting low end mobile devices (Think $30 to $100 android devices) and running smooth on them unlocks a whole under served market segment where we can predictably pick up players and iterate faster on systems with more player volume at the start. 3. More players has continued to bring more dev interest, more feedback from players to devs, and overall just more engagement for us to monitor and improve from. 4. As the platform improves, the games are getting better, the engine is getting better, and we continue to improve retention (We're up 2x on d1, 6x on d7 and 12x on d14 in the last 3 months, this isn't world shattering retention but the trajectory is clear and we very distinctly know what is blocking it from climbing higher), As retention responds to improvements, we'll start rolling out and focusing more modern markets with more modern devices. 5. Since we optimized for the bottom of the barrel and all language barriers to start, the experience on more modern markets is only going to be that much better. All games are also default-global distribution without any dev intervention. We're a 4.5 star app currently when the majority of devices using us are some of the worst android devices people use by majority. The last piece here is we've seen a strong inflection point with our recent AI Agent changes where it's becoming so good that you can realistically build proper quality games not using just prompts to the HYTOPIA agent/mcp and using our point/click map editor. This will only improve, and we will very quickly (likely next 6 months) hit a cursor-like moment and product (wink wink, studio) for game dev. To the future!

Holy moly! 🤯
