+180% Problem with conviction trades is that you also need patience. While everything was pumping and $BP was in accumulation it really tested my patience.
Hopefully $BP finally exits accumulation and moons: Thesis: if meme/tokenized stock narrative migrates to Solana, Backpack benefits as stock tokenization platform. More issuance -> more arb opportunities -> more users to BP ->higher fees -> etc etc BP has no rev share but still a fun play to look.

FOMO generates $320k in 7d fees from Hyperliquid Builder integration. It puts FOMO just below Phantom at top 2! Truly shows the strength of their retail adoption. Wish I shilled my FOMO ref link before lol

You can literally track revenue/buybacks in real time on blockchains. Block by block. In tradfi you need to wait quarterly, yearly reports and everyone THEN trades the news. In crypto 'trade the news' is every single block.
This is easiest crypto bull market ever IF the high rev token meta continues. You don't need to chase every narrative or even read much of CT. Just open DefiLlama, Blockworks etc. and find projects with: 1. High and growing revenue 2. Revenue actually reaching token holders through payouts or buybacks 3. Low market cap relative to that holder revenue and don't forget about emissions and unlocks too. Then buy and hold. Simple. Sell when the valuation gets too far ahead of realistic future revenue, or the thesis (protocol) breaks. And you can ask your AI agent to run this due diligence weekly. Ok, maybe the harder part is estimating future fees. But if you believe BTC will continue to pump, more speculation WILL lead to more trading volumes and fees. So we need to add forward looking valuations which could make tokens relatively cheaper for future fees. $HYPE, $LIT, $PUMP etc. look like very simple trades in retrospect. So now we need to find newer emerging protocols with high rev but that are undervalued by the market. Finally, AI agents could keep recommending the same few tokens to all of us. Thus concentrating 1) attention and 2) money into assets that fit the criteria and helping them pump further. Simplest meta ever. Right?

Binance finally listed $HYPE on spot, but still no $LIT, $VVV or $FLUID CZ said "We list when your coin is popular enough. We follow our users" But that feels disingenuous when insider bundled/low liquidity memes keep getting listed on Binance and promoted through Alpha. Probably worst is that Binance is now 'sell the news' event. Teams have to provide tokens for airdrops and marketing that go to 1) BNB or 2) FDUSD holders who JUST DUMP those tokens as yield. No marketing is done this way. just pure sell pressure. Scroll allocated 5.5% of its total supply to Binance Launchpool. More recently Zama gave 45M ethereum:0xa12cc123ba206d4031d1c7f6223d1c2ec249f4f3 for 'future marketing campaigns.' Binance used to make their users rich, but now they are exit liquidity. it's a bull market so MAKE YOUR USERS RICH AGAIN.
Interesting how irrelevant Binance has become to the crypto trenches. None of the major runners are listed on Binance and all price discovery happens onchain. And perp dexes taking their perp volumes too. Plus, tokenized stock meta requires licenses and regulations that Binance lacks so their regulatory arbitrage isn’t paying off in this meta. CEXs are mostly good for fiat onramp/offramp. But even for this Binance isn’t an option in the US and the EU.

Huge fan of this 'refresh one-time address' feature in Fluidkey. Every non custodial wallet that wants to challenge Rabby/Phantom should have this. A fresh address for each payment, but all your balances show up in the same account. No need to share the same address with everyone. CEXs offer this too but we need this as default for non custodial wallets. p.s. non sponsored post just happy new client.

Actuallllyy... every crypto neobank should have this feature. Like you could receive payments directly to your account on Kast, Etherfi, Ethena etc and spend via crypto cards.

Damning article about the $WLFI scam: - Promised Aave partnership. Didn't happen. Went with Dolomite instead. - Ethena's sUSDe was supposed to be used as collateral. Didn't happen. - Ondo stocks and Treasuries were supposed to come to WLFI. Still waiting...... Basically WLFI farmed partnership announcements for marketing. Then: - 'Created' a 'strategic reserve' and invited projects to contribute. Dozens sent tokens to WLFI wallets. - Then WLFI sold most of its LINK, AAVE, ENA and MOVE lolll. Literally scammed projects? - Then Trump's disclosures show millions received in LINK, AAVE, ENA, MOVE and ONDO from WLFI token sales :) WLFI down by 82.5% btw with no rally despite market recovering.

I fumbled $HYPE airdrop. I didn't fumble $LIT airdrop and definitely not fumbling $VAR. Probably too late to shill my ref link (but DM if needed). Points distributions should end in 8 days. Polymarket odds below imply ~$1.5B FDV one day after launch. ~50% of VAR supply is planned for 'community' although 1st airdrop allo is not public. 25% is reasonable. At $1.5B FDV, that's ~$750M to community. Juicy. Actually, just Grok'ed that Variational cofounders "Lucas Schuermann and Edward Yu previously led engineering and quant trading at Genesis after it acquired their quant fund Qu Capital in 2019." Seems bullish to me.
Buying variational points at $100/point, DM me

Memecoins are ONE CYCLE trade. You trade them, but never HODL them. I mean $WIF was THE MEME last cycle with Ansem putting it on the LA Sphere* Now, the chart looks like that ↓ and mindshare-wise it is dead. And for a meme to lose mindshare is DEATH. $FARTCOIN? Same story despite huge success beyond CT. $DOGE is an exception as it survived TWO cycles. But it is not really strong runner anymore. This short lifespan makes it different from the main crypto meme - Bitcoin which manages to reinvent itself. Anyway, whatever you think of solana:HcRLc9VDgjLeK154xDawfb1dmVJ98DoSqcwTHGqiDeJR, $CASHCAT etc etc., just make sure to sell them. Very simple lesson yet too many become married to their bags
One of the things I have changed my mind on this cycle is that meme coin trading is a fad or short lived phenomena. It's not. I thought it was a solved game, but the variance due to internet culture seems to keep the game going, alongside the addictive nature of gambling. I am actually not a fan of gambling, and have a close family member who suffers from this addiction, but I accept that millions of people want to/need to gamble for various reasons: entertainment, desire to elevate one's station, desperation, boredom etc. The lottery has atrocious odds, but it is the gambling game that the majority of the world have played for almost the last 100 hundred years. If you add up the combined sum a regular person has lost in their life playing the lottery is significant. It is kind of like a tax on poor people. The internet + blockchains have enabled digital slot machines/lottery games in the form of infinite token creation. The dopamine hits that come with this form of gambling are the strongest of any gambling game imo. No matter how much you hate this it is simply not going away. You now have many ways to invest in the underlying infrastructure related to this form of internet gambling. Last cycle the cleanest proxy was SOL. This time around you have launchpads with differing mechanisms that allow the game to be played in different ways. Some are more aligned with their holders than others, but all are seeing rising interest and adoption metrics. Other opportunities remain in the private markets like FOMO, but they possibly may airdrop one day who knows. The activity will ebb and flow with manic peaks and big lows as the the flows are carried by speculation seen in other areas of the market, becoming more liquid as wealth trickles into onchain gambling. Again, hating on this is futile. You are better off ignoring it if it bothers you. Gambling is big business in the real world, and there are extremely profitable businesses in that sector. Everyone loses on slot machines in Vegas, and yet the people keep coming back to play them with the hope of hitting it big one day. There is a lot of total bullshit happening with KOLs, and bundling etc. I am not condoning that at all. And I steer away from that completely, and encourage you to do so as well. Redacted people are going to do redacted things even though they actually know they are being robbed and scammed. You can't stop this. You don't have to speculate on a single individual memecoin coin, and I actually don't think it is +EV to do so. But it's clear there are going to be giant onchain internet gambling infra winners here, and you can capture that opportunity if you want to.

Robinhood's meme/stock meta is losing momentum. RH's tokenized stock TVL is flat for two weeks. And now more stocks are burnt than issued. The same money can still trade repeatedly and generate fees. But if trading volume slows too: Lower payouts → less reason to hold → more selling. And if LPs decide the fees aren't worth it anymore, exit liquidity gets thinner. I already exited my meme/stock LP positions. Yields went down a lot. We need a catalyst to reignite the pump. Hopefully BTC & majors hold up the pump and price targets for all assets are raised across crypto.

Solana tokenized stocks seems to go up only though. Wonder if the RH->Solana rotation is more sticky

We should've moved past Blind signing a long time ago. You can be tricked into approving a malicious transaction if you can't understand what you're signing. A familiar dapp can look completely normal even when its frontend has been compromised. Too much has already been lost this way. Glad to see Trezor pushing Clear Signing forward and addressing this major problem in DeFi UX. We need this across far more dapps and wallets.
Replying to @Trezor
Clear Signing works across supported Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks through Trezor Suite, @WalletConnect, and Trezor Connect, with no additional software or settings required. Read more: trezor.io/blog/news/clear-si…

Wouldn't be surprised to see BTC breaching $126k ATH before end of year: look at this chart how much selling BTC OGs did in the past 2 years. At least 5% of total BTC MC ($104B) was moved/sold by OG whales in 2024/25 That selling overhang is behind us. BTC OGs kept dumping above 100k so we couldn't pump higher. Remember the viral the ETFs were Bitcoin's 'IPO moment' post? We seem to be pass that.
