a year ago, Aave founder called Solana DeFi a copycat with a half-baked UI. 🤯 today, Solana Foundation is lending USDT into @aave to support their recovery. founders throwing public shots at each other helps no one. Capital, collaboration, and showing up when it matters, that's how the whole space wins. glad people are starting to understand this. DeFi United 🫂

@DompteurM @retiredchaddev You thought you did something there lol don’t give fuck about mad lads or crypto

@_Olivetree_7 @retiredchaddev not surprised to see this from a cucked madlad

I'm struggling with my existential identity in crypto. Everybody has different reasons and beliefs for their stay in this space. Mine has always been defi. I believed and wondered in how it can revolutionalize day to day finance, as well as powering a plethora of new primitives. I sort of don't believe in it anymore, unless a lot changes. Losing this belief made me question my entire duration of association with crypto. What are you in crypto for? What's your core belief?

@DompteurM @retiredchaddev This is a fucking retarted response just a bunch of word salad without real examples lol

@retiredchaddev its the only tool able to give everyone equal access to better their life, especially in a world growing tirelessly towards tech and virtual experiences bittensor is a good example of what could be (i wish we had better examples tho)

@MadLads Clowns lol

@project0 @retiredchaddev There’s no point to using defi. Risk isn’t worth the reward

@retiredchaddev The industry will become more bulletproof. Code has gotten v strong recently, the last hurdle is security protocols and human opsec. This industry will turn that corner

Sucks again because I actually haven't borrowed anything against my LSTs deposited here. Nobody has borrowed those LSTs either because they are not available for borrow on any other avenue. Isolated, but still 2.6%. It's not large by percentage but considering the amount I put on there, still large. One of the many venues throwing hits post Drift. I see myself moving more and more out of Defi over the next few months and years. Who knows if even Aave is safe!?! At the end of the day, you still just need to catch hold of n low security key holders, whatever the n is and keep them under guns for whatever timelock period is. After some point and size in life, the risk is just not worth it. I have experimented and tried out several protocols through my crypto period, both audited and new, regular and novel. I have experienced exploits and rugs galore but maintained assets spread across several venues and wallets that I am never really hit hard. But after some point, it just becomes impractical to monitor and even to manage the risk profile with closer integrations across defi. I might keep some money to play around but seems more and more that majority funds should just stay in my wallets or outside crypto.

@lorxxcy @AdamWeitsman @MadLads LMAO

@AdamWeitsman @MadLads

Im officially doubling down in the NFT space. Looking back on the past 5 years, I realize that this journey has introduced me to some of the finest people I have even encountered, some that I now consider family while at the same time enjoying some of the finest art ever produced with you all. Yes my “investments” here are down but the communities I have been blessed to be a part of are priceless to me. If you are thinking of leaving reconsider. You are wanted here ❤️ @desultor

@mitro_king Ogs didn’t earn more than they lost not even close. The only ones who earned more than they lost were minters. Anyone who bought right after mint is still at massive losses

@SolanaLegend @FabianoSolana Not everyone can you fucking idiot

@FabianoSolana Airdrops are dead. No handouts Use the product to get rewarded

I was supporting Mad Lads & Backpack for years but... They made 160,000 SOL from Mad Lads royalties That's $14.4M at current SOL price While Mad Lads get $3M at TGE (this didn't cost them a thing...) Second: Why was it always about loyalty? After all someone who staked since mint got the same as someone who bought 3 months ago ?!

Backpack airdrop Holders Mad lads NFT (~$290 / 1k $bp) 1 point = 0,56 $bp If you bought Mad Labs for $29k in 2024, you would now receive $300 in airdrop, current NFT price is $800 And many users staking money this platform but received very few airdrops Worst airdrop

@armaniferrante US Mad lads will get screwed out of this somehow lol

introducing the next Backpack token utility, we'll be building out this year. IPOs, on chain, directly on Backpack. Normally when companies go public, the founders and executives go on a roadshow, sharing their story and garnering interest from Wall Street institutional buyers purchasing shares before they go public. For most, you normally have to wait for the stock exchanges to go live before getting access to these shares through your brokerage. What we're doing: working with Superstate for Backpack to become a stop on the roadshow, so that our users can get access to these IPOs before trading goes live on national stock exchanges. The catch: Our ability to do this successfully is purely a function of the Backpack community. The more active and valuable our users, the more viable Backpack is a venue for capital formation. As a result, we've put together this waitlist to collect interest from our users today on this product. The early users that signup will get early access to the first IPO. The more people that sign up for this, the more engaged and active our community is here, the better access we will get to companies when they go public. This will be the first test of the community. This is an enormously valuable opportunity, and we need your help signing up for this so that we can go out and get the best IPOs for everyone here that we can. The ask: add yourself to the waitlist now. We have a lot more coming on this front, and this is a perfect example of why we did not build a DEX. This is only something a compliant product can do. Go big or go home.

@CryoPalmar @Backpack @MadLads @armaniferrante If you bought a mad lad right after mint you’re down bad what the fuck are you talking about

People now: oh no Backpack, why TGE in a bearmarket? That's so dumb People a few years ago: oh no Madlads, why launch your NFT in the bearmarket? That's so dumb First year of Madlads:

@sneakypeek13 @sol_nxxn @MadLads Still wouldn’t be worth it. I bought a few day after mint and hasn’t been worth it if you live in the US

@sol_nxxn @MadLads I think I can buy cheap madlads after the airdrop

Mad Lads are now below $4,000 I’m holding a few and wondering how the Backpack airdrop will treat NFT holders and impact the price Of course, the airdrop is more focused on exchange users, but I’m sure there should be an allocation for NFTs What are you expecting from it? 🤔

@troubleonmymint @armaniferrante @SolanaLegend @skittlewood @Backpack Not if you’re a lad who lives in the US

@armaniferrante @SolanaLegend @skittlewood @Backpack Seems to me that lads continue to be on top

.@Backpack is doing 2x the volume of Kraken on perps before key geographies, stock perps, and spending money on marketing Kraken is valued at $20b I’ve been tweeting about Backpack for the past 2 years but few realize what’s about to happen

@SolanaCoach @MadLads @Backpack Fuck off I don’t want to hear the mental gymnastics from someone who has been able to earn points from the beginning

@_Olivetree_7 @MadLads @Backpack Common sense says that this applies if you can use the exchange. What else?

What is the most cost-effective and most underestimated NFTs utility? @MadLads x @Backpack . A Lad automatically gives you the profits of a trader who trades $15 million in spot volume and $25 million in futures volume per month. Now imagine VIP 5 with Backpack next executions... P.S Understimated for now...

@Web3Kristel @vibhu @toly

@vibhu @toly Someone who knows how to actually run a brand account.

solana: our marketing can shit on anyone, lighten up, it's all jokes. base: bet, let me say this bridge is a collab between us. solana: fuck you, you can't just say that and call it marketing. you didnt even ask us about this. shakespeare wishes he could write this level of hypocrisy.

@sol_nxxn @MadLads @solana This is not true. If you’re in the US you were blocked from getting Pyth. Also you can’t use the exchange so VIP doesn’t mean anything let alone earn points

1 Mad Lad has generated $20,000+ in rewards/airdrops 🪙 Now they cost $4,000 - and the biggest airdrop still hasn’t even happened Just grabbed another one 😌

@MustardInterior @Raptorj69 @mert Yes it’s still shit UX

@Raptorj69 @mert Have u transacted on ETH after Pectra Upgrade on May 7 this year?

to the derplets shitting on SOL - ICYMI, the entire market is down, not just SOL. ppl shitting on SOL are baiting you for clicks - Ive not sold any SOL and will not sell any. I am serious about trillions - I can like multiple assets. Zec is private SoV, Sol is NASDAQ shalom

~$30,000,000 of inflows into $BSOL yesterday. Solana purchased. Now ~$150,000,000 inflows the last 3 days. #1 ETF launch this year, of 850. It’s a testament not to Bitwise but to the conviction investors have in Solana, and the work of its community. Grateful to play a role @bitwise in expanding access through BSOL.

$BSOL is beginning life with $220m in assets. Impressive, already half the size of $SSK. Surprised they didn't hold off tho and have it come in on Day One to get volume and flows higher. Good news is now we'll have only organic, easier to measure true demand
