@Pixelmon Will you continue building this year?

2025 was a year of building, shipping, and showing up. We took The World Nova Thera from concept to culture across games, media, and global audiences, laying the foundation for what comes next

@PCFriarFaithful @jemelehill These are the facts people like to conveniently ignore 🤣🤣

@jemelehill I dont recall Kiffin, Petrino, or Pitino threatening someone he stalked for months at knife point, but yea besides that they are essentially the same

I’m sorry comprehension escapes you, but I didn’t say that. What I said was that Sherrone Moore’s firing is being used (by some) as some sort of example that there is a wider problem among Black coaches or as an example of why it will be harder to justify hiring Black coaches. I find both to be a wider example of how the actions of one Black person is often used to paint all Black people with a bad brush. This doesn’t indict Black male coaches anymore than Lane Kiffin or Bobby Petrino’s actions indict white coaches. But the difference is that white coaches often get a chance to rehabilitate. Rick Pitino is seen as a redemption story. Black coaches usually don’t get that. I don’t care about Sherrone Moore. He earned whatever is coming, but unfortunately Black coaches will likely pay for what he’s done — and that isn’t right.

WE HIT 1 MILLION! The Pixelmon anime episode "Battle of Honor" just crossed 1M views on YouTube! Thank you for all the love and support ❤️

@jonfavs Who cares? Lol

Hegseth ordered the military to murder defenseless survivors who could’ve easily been saved, arrested, and tried. Now he’s trying to court martial a Senator for merely reminding the military they’re not obligated to follow illegal orders.

@GiulioXdotEth @wardensascent @Pixelmon Yess!!!!

@Akkukap @monprotocol Umm this feels like theft @HyperliquidX ? Answers?

I’ve been a Hyperliquid maxi for a long time, and HL still remains my largest position in Web3. But a recent decision by the team has been extremely disappointing to see. Earlier this year, @monprotocol acquired the $MON ticker on HL for ~500k: x.com/monprotocol/st… The rationale was that CEX interactions were frustrating, and the Pixelmon team wanted to align with a fully decentralized venue. The token ultimately didn’t gain much traction on HL (very low volume, practically a waste in hindsight), but at least the team had secured an immutable asset. Fast forward to Monad’s launch, and suddenly the MON ticker on Hypercore now refers to Monad, not Pixelmon. So I checked with the Pixelmon team assuming they must have sold the ticker. Turns out they didn’t. Hyperliquid simply changed the frontend names: Pixelmon is now shown as “Monpro” on UI (but still $MON on-chain). Monad is shown as “Mon” on UI (but is actually $UMON on-chain). So technically the ticker is immutable, but from a consumer perspective the actual UI identity has been reassigned. And realistically, no one cares what the ticker is on-chain when the UI shows something else. If this isn’t effectively a ticker grab, what is it? Pixelmon paid 500k for something that the frontend can override at will, while Monad (or rather @unitxyz, who is clearly closer to the HL team) gets the visible name without paying for it. To be clear, this doesn’t materially affect Pixelmon’s future. But on principle, it’s wildly disappointing. Is this the ethos Hyperliquid wants to stand for? Centrally aligned players first? What message does this send to smaller teams who choose HL because they believed “listings without fuss” meant UI consistency and fairness? Are we now saying: “You can buy the on-chain ticker, but we’ll decide the visible name depending on who we talk to”? Tagging @chameleon_jeff @iliensinc because this seems like a serious breach of HL’s own stated values, and I’m not sure whether this decision was fully acknowledged at the top. For clarity: Pixelmon ($MON): 0x622cf551933f19f9136303dcab56488c Monad ($UMON): 0x58dae745c8c5fed4012f35ef39829c2d Frontend: This requires an explanation imo and its not about this particular case but more problematic for the overall direction team wants to take. To me this is a clear slap on the face of smaller teams being allowed to be strong-armed by privileged partners. @sershokunin can you also pitch in as to what happened here?

@Kr1m_Zen @graildoteth What project was it?

@graildoteth I might have to start sticking to Bitcoin. Was one of my biggest nft bags and I dont have alot as is. Was my way of trynna make it and escape this rat race. From my eyes it looked like they were doing everything right. This will be 2 bull runs ive pretty much lost it all in a row

Optimize your bags or optimize your morality? When you know a project has already all but failed behind the scenes, but the poor community does not yet know, what should the biggest holder of said project do? 1. Take out the bids and pass the buck on to those who cannot afford to take the L or... 2. quietly accept the personal L knowing that the assets will be worth zero in a few days? Who says being an whale is easy! Every single day you are faced with a moral choice on how to behave in this space.

JAPAN JUST BROKE THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM AND YOU HAVE 30 DAYS November 18th, 2025. Japan’s 20-year bond yield hit 2.75%. Highest in recorded history. This single number just ended the 30-year era that made your retirement possible. The math is simple and fatal. Japan has 263% debt to GDP. $10.2 trillion total. They survived because rates were zero. At 2.75%, debt service explodes from $162 billion to $280 billion over ten years. That’s 38% of total government revenue consumed by interest alone. No nation in history has sustained this without default or hyperinflation. But here’s what kills your portfolio first. Japan holds $3.2 trillion in foreign assets. $1.13 trillion in US Treasuries alone. They bought everything foreign because Japanese bonds paid nothing. Now Japanese bonds pay 2.75%. After hedging costs, holding US Treasuries loses money for Japanese investors. Repatriation is not optional. It’s mathematical necessity. $500 billion exits global markets in 18 months. The yen carry trade holds $1.2 trillion in borrowed yen funding global assets. Stocks. Crypto. Emerging markets. Everything. As Japanese rates rise and the yen strengthens, every position goes underwater. Forced liquidation has already begun. Three certainties nobody can deny. The rate gap between US and Japanese bonds collapsed from 3.5% to 2.4% in six months. When it hits 2%, Japanese money floods home. US borrowing costs spike 30 to 50 basis points regardless of Fed policy. December 18th the Bank of Japan meets. 50% probability they hike again. If they do, the yen surges. Every carry trade loses another 6% instantly. Margin calls cascade globally. Japan cannot print money to escape. Inflation already exceeds target. More printing collapses the yen and imports inflation. They’re trapped between currency crisis and debt crisis. The anchor holding global rates down for 30 years just broke. Every portfolio built since 1995 assumed Japanese yields stayed near zero forever. That assumption died today. Position for chaos or become collateral damage. There is no middle ground.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Full Deep Dive Article - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans… Subscribe for daily premium data driven newsletter.

One year ago, America broke my heart. She was made for the job. She was qualified, intelligent, courageous. She had the leadership skills to run the country and stand against autocracy. I miss the enthusiasm of her campaign. America made its biggest mistake. Do you agree?

Web 3 Gaming Isn’t Dead — It Just Moved On-Chain Every few months, someone tweets “Web3 gaming is dead.” They point to quiet Discords, fallen tokens, and half-finished metaverses. But they’re looking in the wrong place. Web3 gaming didn’t die — it just stopped looking like games. The Hidden Revival In 2021–2022, gaming projects were about “play-to-earn.” Tokens, NFTs, unsustainable rewards. Everyone was a farmer, not a player. Then the market crashed — and attention vanished. But under the surface, something important happened: blockchain quietly became a game infrastructure, not a game genre. The shift wasn’t hype. It was architecture. From Play-to-Earn to Play-for-Value Developers realized players don’t want DeFi with skins. They want ownership, not spreadsheets. That’s why the best-performing Web3 games in 2024–2025 aren’t branded “crypto” at all. They’re free-to-play, on-chain under the hood, with assets that move between games or into wallets. Ownership is invisible — not advertised. The Data Says Otherwise If gaming were “dead,” the numbers wouldn’t look like this: Blockchain gamers: ~102 million in 2025 — up 72 % YoY. (coinlaw.io) Gaming NFTs: ~$12.9 billion market value in 2025 — 3× higher than “art NFTs.” (coinlaw.io) NFT users total: ~11.6 million globally, majority linked to gaming or identity, not art. (coinledger.io) Active gaming wallets: >60 % of all NFT activity. (vancelian.com) The “JPEG economy” collapsed. The gaming economy replaced it. The New Player Economy Gaming is now where NFTs make sense: You earn through time and skill, not speculation. Assets are composable — skins, weapons, and currencies exist across titles. Communities act like DAOs — guilds, staking pools, co-ownership. Gamers aren’t flipping JPEGs. They’re farming time value. What Critics Miss Most “Web3 gaming is dead” takes come from investors who lost token bets, not from players who stayed. The new generation doesn’t talk about tokenomics. They talk about progression, ownership, portability. Crypto didn’t kill gaming. It infected it — quietly, irreversibly. Why This Matters If DeFi financialized money, then gaming financialized time. That’s a bigger idea than any token airdrop. It’s a re-definition of digital labor. Gaming is the first place where crypto utility feels natural — not financial. It’s the bridge between users and on-chain economies. Web3 gaming isn’t dead. It just stopped calling itself Web3.

OCTOBER 26, 2025: THE DAY AMERICA BECAME AN EMPIRE While you watched TikTok, the United States just executed the greatest economic coup in human history. China controls 80% of rare earth processing—the neurons of every weapon system, smartphone, and AI server on planet Earth. One element: neodymium. Without it, F-35s don’t fly. Teslas don’t move. Data centers go dark. Trump threatened to destroy $300 billion in Chinese exports with 100% tariffs. Beijing responded by threatening to choke the global technology supply chain. Then something impossible happened. THE 72-HOUR CHECKMATE: October 24: Malaysia signs mineral pact. October 25: Thailand signs processing deal. October 26: Framework announced. China blinks. Hidden in the fine print: $13 billion Australian rare earth processing. Cambodia extraction rights. Japan’s 2010 playbook—which cut Chinese dependency 30%—now deployed across $350 billion in American AI infrastructure. THE NUMBER THAT ENDS GLOBALIZATION: US-China trade: $758B (2018) → $578B (2024) That $180 billion didn’t vanish. It relocated to nations that bend the knee. ASEAN trade up 20%. Chinese rare earth market share dropping for first time in 30 years. American supply chains rerouting in real-time while Beijing realizes the trap. HERE’S WHAT THEY’RE NOT TELLING YOU: This isn’t trade negotiation. It’s tribute collection. Trump just converted the world’s largest consumer market from a trade partner into a weapon. Every nation now faces a choice: access to American markets, or access to Chinese supply chains. Not both. Ever again. The $20 billion soybean freeze—first since 2018—isn’t retaliation. It’s a demonstration. China can inflict pain. America can inflict extinction. THE PATTERN THAT BROKE REALITY: Seventeen times since 2018, identical playbook: Announce apocalyptic tariffs. Markets crater. China retaliates. Then—exemptions appear for allies. Pressure multiplies on Beijing. 63% of Chinese goods face maximum tariffs. Allied nations: 4%. Every “chaotic” threat was a calculated bid. Every “impulsive” tweet moved supply chains. Every “Trade War” headline masked the systematic dismantling of Chinese technological sovereignty. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: November 1: Xi meets Trump at APEC. The deal is already done. Rare earth access for tariff relief. American boots on Asian rare earth facilities. China gets to save face. America gets the future. Taiwan, AI dominance, technological independence, and the end of competitive multipolarity—all bundled into a “trade framework” the media will call a truce. THE TRUTH: Globalization didn’t collapse. It was conquered.
