This is sadly so true. Most people I know in crypto, including myself, grew up in the Solana ecosystem. But with what @HyperliquidX has already built — and with the poor state @solana — things need to change if we don’t want $HYPE to flip $SOL. x.com/TThompson/status/20561…

Hyperliquid flipping Solana is going to be devastating for a lot of people

Just vibe-coded a new product: polytweet.com The idea is simple: see how much you personally contributed to Polymarket’s rise on X You can check: - how many views you generated for Polymarket - your first 5 tweets about Polymarket - your top 5 Polymarket tweets - other traders who connected their Poly X accounts - the leaderboard of people spreading Polymarket on X One funny detail: Shayne Coplan’s first Polymarket tweet was basically him trying to convince DeFi users to use Polymarket Fast forward to 2026: barely anyone talks about DeFi anymore and everyone talks about Polymarket Even funnier that tweet has only 36 likes Let’s help the guy out. I’ll be #37😀

Meet the Royal Pop Collection, a groundbreaking union of AP's iconic Royal Oak and Swatch's POP watches powered by a new, hand-wound version of SISTEM51. Available as of May 16, at selected Swatch stores worldwide. #RoyalPop

solana was once about the community, getting rich together, in it for the tech etc. 21-23 it was a truly special place. most of those who made it special have now left the space entirely or are have moved their attention elsewhere. all that’s left of Solana is paid KOLs regurgitating slop and cringy slogans, ultimately providing little value to anyone but themselves. as well as foundation members who are at last shilling SOL products, but it’s far too late.

A normal Audemars Piguet watch costs around $30,000 and has a years-long waitlist. Swatch is about to sell a $400 version of it on May 16, walk-in only. The last time Swatch did this, with Omega in 2022, it sold over a million units in its first year. The MoonSwatch retailed for $260 and used plastic instead of steel, but kept the look of Omega's $8,000 Speedmaster. Morgan Stanley estimated it drove close to 20% of Swatch Group's entire 2022 profit. Nine months after launch, lines outside Swatch stores still formed every morning. Audemars Piguet makes only 53,000 watches a year. The Royal Oak alone accounts for 88% of their roughly $2.9 billion in 2025 revenue, putting AP third among Swiss watch brands behind only Rolex and Cartier. Steel Royal Oaks retail from $20,000 to $40,000 and trade for $45,000 to $100,000 on the resale market. The waitlist for new buyers at AP boutiques runs twelve to twenty-four months. Two things make this collab different. First, Audemars Piguet doesn't share a parent company with Swatch the way Omega and Blancpain do. With those earlier partners, all the profit stayed inside one corporate family. With AP, real money flows to an outside company for every unit sold. Second, Swatch needs this. Their profit per dollar of sales went from 15 cents in 2023 to under 5 cents in 2024, a 75% drop from $1.3 billion to $335 million. China was the main reason. If the $300-$500 Royal Pop sells anywhere near MoonSwatch numbers in year one, the volume works out to around twenty times AP's entire annual production, at less than 1% of what AP usually charges. AP's high-end watches stay rare and expensive. Swatch gets the hit it needs.

Let me recap the earnings call. $MSTR

$2 million for sports liquidity rewards are live for the next couple of weeks 😛 more rewards coming for the rest of the markets polymarket.com/rewards

No snapshot has been taken yet, as @mustafap0ly stated. This means farming rewards is still as worth it as ever. Farming on January-February was extremely hard, but LP Rewards events like March Madness, the April 5M sports rewards, and Migration Day made it 5-10x easier. Now I’m waiting for the next big event that makes farming easy again. In the meantime, I’ll rest my bags, let the 4% APR yield pay off a bit, and keep taking low-risk bets to slowly grow the portfolio.
