ACT 1: The Beginning Over the last 2 years the memecoin market has been completely reshaped. Thanks to Pump.fun, who were the first movers, it became easy to launch tokens. Anyone can do it with a few clicks. Anyone can trade. WAGMI was all over. Euphoria and ecstasy. Then something changed. Ceilings got lower. Crime surfaced. New players, new technologies, new strategies. Suddenly this didn't feel like a team sport anymore. Trading became a highly competitive PvP lobby. Those with an edge got a chance to accumulate. Others folded and left the game forever. I don't believe that as a community we've collectively established who's at fault. Is it the platforms? The users? The tech? I do, however, believe that we've reached consensus about one thing — this is no longer sustainable. Drawing a parallel with gaming, even the most competitive games attract new players. When there is no cost to try, people are more willing to spend time learning, improving, and iterating. They look for an edge with unlimited attempts. However, the gamification of memecoin trading is different. Real money is involved here. Hard-earned cash from the 9-5 gets burnt. It would be ok if it could be attributed to a 'skill issue,' but it's hard to blame the outsider for throwing in the towel when the entire 'edge' revolves around unethical, borderline illegal behavior. Every bundle, every rug, every new farmer, every streamer, every single PvP coin — all nails in the coffin of a game we love so much that's at its last breath. ACT 2: The Unfolding @bonkfun , @believeapp , @printr , @BagsApp , and countless other launchpads step in. Same old story, however. At first there's hope, and once the dust settles there's nothing left. Not a shred of dignity, compassion, or care for the market. Not a sliver of love for the game. Just crime, extraction, and permeating incompetency. Venture (vulture) funds get a whiff of that sweet green cash. They pump money into a promising project. Pretend like all we need to do is believe, just to torture the suffocating corpse of the market further. Squeeze as much juice as possible with no regard for the future. ACT 3: The Revival Someone arrives at the scene. Someone tired, hungry, and willing to work. Someone who fears the almighty God. Someone who wants to sleep at night. They don't take funding. They don't pay for KOLs. They don't accept shortcuts. They design a system that benefits the 99%. Punitive to those who break the rules. Rewarding to those who put in the grueling work to become #1. They're not scared of FUD. Not worried about market conditions. Not willing to put up with mediocrity. Every product decision is carefully curated. Every line in the UI masterfully crafted. One goal in mind — do what is right. Always. They've built a product that outshines the competition. Not because it's new and shiny but because it's built with passion. With love and respect for the game. An environment where a 9-5 Wendy's worker CAN make their dreams come true by betting $200 on a good narrative. Where they won't have to worry about vamps, bundles, streamers, and other mechanics. They're going back to the roots. To BEFORE this became the wild west. @heydotlol is built for the trenches. @heydotlol is a place for communities. @heydotlol is a place for rising stars. If you love the game as much as we do, if you believe we can do better, if you want to win, and more importantly want to see others win — join us today. We're coming for you. And we're carrying the sword of righteousness. None will be spared. HEYER.

Most DeFi apps are dead on arrival This year pumpdotfun crossed $1 billion in lifetime revenue. An app for launching joke coins has now made more money than almost every serious DeFi protocol ever built That should bother you if you're a builder. But it's not an accident. It's the clearest signal of a pattern most of this industry refuses to see The apps that win in crypto are never built for crypto people And crypto people are exactly who everyone builds for For those that don't know, most DeFi traction is rented. Protocols pay users in their own token to deposit money, the deposits show up as TVL, and everyone calls it growth. The moment the rewards stop, the money leaves. The users were never users. They were mercenaries That's why thousands of protocols launch every cycle and almost none survive. The tech was fine. There was just nobody outside the bubble who actually wanted it Only four apps ever escaped @Pumpfun realized retail doesn't want sophisticated finance. They want to launch and gamble on coins in seconds. 22 million users showed up @aave became the first protocol to cross $1 trillion in loans by being boring for six straight years. It survived Luna, FTX, and every depeg. Durability was the product @HyperliquidX took almost 6% of the global perps market from centralized exchanges with no VCs. It airdropped $1.2 billion to its own traders and let the revenue follow @Polymarket made the crypto invisible. People bet on elections from their phone and never think about a wallet once. The owner of the NYSE paid $2 billion to get in Now look at what those four actually sell Gambling. Credit. Leverage. Information Every dollar this industry has ever made comes from one of those. Everything else was a science project Means a few things if you're building: 1. Stop studying your competitors. They're in the bubble with you. Studying ten dying forks just teaches you how to build the eleventh 2. You don't need a new primitive. You need existing demand with the friction removed. pumpdotfun didn't invent gambling. It deleted every step between the user and the bet 3. The next breakout won't look like DeFi at all. pumpdotfun looks like a game. Polymarket looks like the news. The chain is disappearing into the background and builders who fight that will lose 4. The gap is about to get brutal. Apps with real demand compound users, revenue, and trust. The long tail of farmed metrics bleeds out quietly. Liquidity is already leaving the bubble 5. Be honest about what you're actually building. If your roadmap is a fork, your traction is a points dashboard, and your community is other founders waiting for a token, you already know how this ends. You're not building a company. You're performing one for an audience that will never pay you. Real demand is sitting right there. Four apps found it. Your job is to go meet it The market is sorting builders into two groups right now. The ones serving real demand and the ones performing for each other Figure out which one you are before the market does it for you. I remain @Only1temmy your DeFi friend.

SpaceX spot on Solana has $9m in volume. $10k trades have 5-10bps of slippage, a fraction of CEX fees. 1-5k trades effectively free For the 1st time in history, anyone globally can get access to the hottest IPO ever. Internet Capital Markets are real and they're beautiful

I wish more people understood where these types of KOL PnL screenshots really come from So let me break it down (as an on chain developer) 👇 1 - The platform side Calculating PnL accurately is more complex than most people think. Generally you need amount/value, price at entry/exit, final outcome & price at final outcome adjusted for slippage and fees. 2 - The gap Accuracy is achievable *only* when you have all of the above pieces. Meaning you're tracking every tx every wallet has made on a given token and you don't have any missing components. Otherwise, you have to gracefully handle missing data points. The most challenging of which are transfers from wallet to wallet 3 - The abuse KOLs know this. And they abuse it shamelessly. Given that you can't accurately track transfers and the complexity increases linearly with more wallets, its very easy to game. Simply put, the terminal would have to trace every wallet to find its original cost basis on chain which is either not possible or extremely expensive and time consuming. 4 - The verdict Most platforms simply opt to display incoming deposits as realized PnL. 5 - How to be a KOL Buy SOL or USDC Distribute it to 10-20 wallets Have some trading history on the 1 doxxed wallet Combine all wallets into the 1 doxxed wallet Voila you now have a 20K daily PnL Bonus: you can also dev tokens from undoxxed wallets, rug, and then deposit all into your doxxed wallet tldr; you're being lied to because you don't understand on-chain data mechanics. now you won't fall for it.

“Price is the best marketing” is the most misleading thing you’ll ever read on X. It’s just a way to cover up a bag, but this kind of statement often comes from people who aren’t building anything. It’s all about process first and foremost. And the famous “trust the process” only works if there’s a real process. A process has steps, timelines, and checkpoints. Trust requires something concrete to trust, and price is the least concrete thing in the world because of its volatility. It’s just a short-term smokescreen. Build the process first. Then let people trust you. Remember the FUD on @Backpack ? The team ignored the pointless FUD and listened the constructive criticism that drives progress. They just went back to work. The best marketing will never replace the best product. @Backpack decided to build the best product. Everything else is just Web 3 noise from people who have no idea what marketing, communication, or product development are, and who are trying to replicate successes that are often short-lived.

dev hasn't released an update in 3 hours i better sell

normies value transparency especially gen z who can smell bullshit a mile away. any app or protocol that wants to onboard has to appeal to the massed to survive but not everyone understands what aspects on on chain to promote and how

why do people in crypto insist on being dishonest? yea it might get you viral, pump your project, or get you followers but at what cost long term? being a transparent chad has and will always prevail. hope the space realizes this and heals.

holy AGI is here

Hey Mythos make ETH relevant again make no mistake

anthropic psyoped normies into thinking they’re cybersecurity gurus hard lessons will be learned

hear me out AI models are a hammer. You give one to a 5 y/o girl and she won't drive the nail in. You give one to Jose sitting in the parking lot of a Home Depot and he'll do it in one shot. You can have all the token budget in the world and get outperformed by a dude with a $200/m claude max subscription because he has better critical thinking and more patience

the next pf update should be shutting down their servers

You can raise millions and fail. You can raise almost nothing and win. Investors are not validation. They don't know whether your idea will work. Fundraising is not traction. The market decides. Not investors. Don't confuse it with progress.

bear market == buidl market

this claude remote control

lowest fees btw

call me a grifter but facts are facts if you’re building on @Pumpfun just know your idea will be stolen I guess now we know what “Jew mode” means

2016-2021 was easy money. although more akin to tradFI investment since you had to understand fundamentals. memes are a different animal where you don’t really need to understand on chain at all. and that is a very bullish. Memes will make a comeback in two forms 1 - new players who change the game will replace extractor incumbents who have no moat beyond first mover advantages (it’s not an if btw it’s when) 2 - tokenized startups @clawpumptech @pumpcade @dexteraisol @heydotlol etc… outside of RWA and tokenized securities, this is the most bullish use case. not every founder wants VC money and few can secure it anyway. but if you get more people to crowdfund startups, eventually someone will make it mainstream and that will kick off a meta of metas
