The thing I find the most surprising about CT is their definition of "a dead project."
Is Uniswap dead? Well, it's #1 in the DEX sector for the last 5 years every day. Is $UNI dead? Kinda. Down 95% from ATH.
Is Humanity Protocol dead? Well, $H just pumped 12x since the hack happened. Do they have as many users as Uniswap? No.
What's the definition of "dead"?
Would you say that one of the biggest infrastructure providers (Redstone, Pyth) are dead?
The same thing goes for Arbitrum, Jupiter, Optimism, Wormhole, Eigencloud, LayerZero, Safe.

This article has never been more relevant than now.
Fraud (a.k.a. resolution failures) on Polymarket and Kalshi is happening basically every week.
You can track the list of these through web.archive.org/web/20250120… and polymarketguide.gitbook.io/p….

When you treat happiness as a goal, you judge yourself for feeling anything less than perfect, which creates a cycle of guilt and frustration.
This "secondary suffering" means you aren't just feeling bad; you're feeling bad about feeling bad.
By trying to force being happy, you end up magnifying the very negative feelings you were trying to avoid.
How crazy does human psychology work, huh?

I passed reading and writing with a score of 5.0 for both. It's the highest grade possible.
I'm still waiting for the listening and speaking results. They should be available in 3 days.

I've got 2 important exams next week; one of them is TOEFL.
I have been locked into studying for the last week or so. I hope you all are enjoying the current market sentiment... The amount of crime pumps and controversial takes are at ATHs...
A great summer ahead.

Looking at $BEAT makes me lol.
I have zero mutuals following them, their TG mini app has 2 users (the AI agents themselves), and... what is this PFP? 😭
Jun 10
It looks like $BEAT has the potential to become the next $LAB / $RAVE like scam coin
It's currently trading close to $6bn FDV.
Strangely, it hasn't been trading on negative funding at all. Maybe the funding will start pushing negative later to inflict max pain to shorts...

The philosopher Albert Camus wrote an essay called The Myth of Sisyphus. In Greek mythology, Sisyphus is condemned by the gods to push a massive boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down to the bottom for eternity.
Camus argued that Sisyphus is the ultimate hero because he keeps pushing anyway.
By refusing to give up in the face of an impossible task, Sisyphus triumphs over his punishment.
Keep pushing and never give up.
Because the act of pushing the boulder is what gives life meaning, not the summit.

TL;DR: $TON to $GRAM rebranding is useless.
"We just changed the name of the native token. It was a crucial milestone on our journey!..."
If you're wondering, is TON as the blockchain being renamed? No. It's only about the native token.
1. People think rebranding is a change of name and logo, but hell NO, rebranding is a change of the whole concept.
A great example is @SonicLabs, which initially was Fantom, and after rebranding, they went from 200 TPS to 10K TPS, gained $1.3B in TVL, and changed their tokenomics.
A year later, $S eventually died and is down -96.9% from listing price. The rebranding didn't really help.
2. Were there any successful rebrandings at all?
- From MakerDAO to @SkyEcosystem: 1/10 (people liked MakerDAO more; just a name, ok?)
- From Okex to @okx: 8/10
- From Galaxy to @Galxe: 2/10 (just a name, ok?)
- From Huobi to @HTX: 0/10
- From Matic to Polygon: 1/10 (okay?...)
- From Havven to Synthetix: 3/10 (sounds way better?)
3. Why would projects make rebrandings?
In my opinion, these could be voluntary decisions that the DAO will support... as happened with TON. Sometimes, they do it just to crime pump a token.
I can't see any other options.

I felt ashamed asking my parents for money.
Instead, I started trying to earn some by myself.
Yes, it took me three months to make my first $100. Yes, I was starting from zero again and again because of "20x leverage, long BTC or whatever..." liquidations. Yes, it took me years to learn how to keep money.
But this is money earned by myself.
Could actually buy an entire garage full of supercars that i earned myself instead of daddy
Instead shilling inner development & forest gardens
What do they say again on this app
Build different
On a side-note, this child´s life will be utterly f**ked in time. Rule nr 1 of having a lot of money and a family is not showing it off excessively, your kids will think it is normal, will not have a work-ethic, nor will learn the value of humility. He would be better off volunteering on some eco-farm and actually learning some skills

Mantle’s Q1 2026 marked another step toward becoming the leading distribution layer for RWAs and onchain finance, per @MessariCrypto.
Growth was mainly driven by:
• @aave x Mantle effect, with @maplefinance bringing institutional lending yield onchain through syrupUSDT
• @xStocksFi expanding access for tokenized equities
Together, they point to a broader shift: traditional financial products are finding onchain distribution, where scale is increasingly determined by liquidity and investor access.
Jun 4
State of Mantle Q1 2026
Key Update: Mantle continued building toward its thesis as the distribution layer for onchain finance, with Q1 product launches across RWAs, DeFi, stablecoins, and AI agents anchored by the CeDeFi model built with Bybit.
@Mantle_Official @Bybit_Official
QoQ Metrics📊
DeFi TVL ⬆️ 282.7% to $648.0M (all-time high) as Aave V3 scaled from $0 to $547.1M
RWA TVL ⬆️ 27.4% to $247.5M, led by Maple's syrupUSDT and the xStocks rollout
Mantle Vault TVL closed at $221.5M in its first full quarter
Mantle Treasury ⬇️ 25.1% to $2.4B, the largest DAO treasury
The Mantle Treasury also began diversifying as a $126.8M MI4 position cut MNT concentration from 94.3% to 90.0%.
Despite cooling headline metrics, 87% of Q1 activity came from returning addresses and transactions per address rose from 8.4 to 14.7, pointing to a loyal core engaging more intensively as Mantle's institutional infrastructure comes online.

Only way to make it back:
1) realize and accept that you never had this money in the first place. It was literally all paper « p&l » on shitcoins with limited liquidity
2) realize that you didnt make this money, you were gambling in a bull market and the exact reason why you « made » so much money is the exact same reason why you lost it (i.e. gambling) - so you never deserved it
3) realize that true money is actually made by working and generating value that then generates cash flow that you then invest in solide assets (i.e. the opposite of gambling on shitcoins to generate money that wasn’t deserved because money wasnt based on value delivered, and that you then kept gambling on the next ponzi until you lost it all)
Tldr: none of this money was ever real nor deserved. I can tell you because I’ve been there too. There is no easy path to wealth.

As an older gen z, I find this to be especially true.
Partying was a thing my friends and I did from about 16 to 22. It was fun, it was social, it was just “what everyone did”.
What changed it for me was watching the effects on my older peers and friends. Seeing people a few years ahead of me visibly degraded from that lifestyle was a real wake up call imo. The skin, energy, and health issues showing up way too early. For some reason, I find my generation caring about this stuff a lot more.
Club culture itself also just stopped being appealing. Everything started looking sloppy dirty.
But the shift is probably bigger than personal preference:
→ we grew up on the internet w/ full access to what alcohol actually does to your body and your overall health.
→ everything is filmed now. every night out is documented on someone’s phone so the cost of being sloppy became permanent evidence.
→ going out got absurdly expensive. a single night at a club can run hundreds, meanwhile a gym membership is $50 /month and a run club is mostly free.
→ the pandemic forced everyone to stop going out & a lot of people realized they didn’t miss it.
→ mental health awareness got REALLY normalized for our generation. Therapy, self care, etc.
→ aspirational content shifted. The coolest thing on social media used to be bottle service/ club photos. Now it’s gym progress, run clubs, morning routines, clean girl aesthetics, wellness.
→ Dating apps replaced bars. You don’t need to go to a club to meet people anymore.
Overall just think our generation collectively realized that taking care of yourself isn’t boring, and we’re more skeptical on what we waste our money on since the future we were promised as kids doesn’t really exist anymore.

Clubbing is dead and has been replaced by fitness & wellness.
Ppl used to party to socialize and date but now they do things like HYROX, bathhouses, and running raves.
The death of clubbing is something to be studied:
— US has lost 12% of its nightclubs in the last 24 months
— 25% of US adults didn’t drink at all last year
— Gen Z drinks 30% less than Millennials did at the same age
On the flip side:
— According to Strava, the number of running clubs recorded on the platform increased 3.5x in 2025
— 72% of Gen Z go to run clubs to meet new people
— Sauna and spa market: $11.8B → $22.4B by 2034
The post-alcohol economy is gonna be a massive category.
