@Geninsus Oh man :( sad to see you leave, but I also understand. Your product is still my favorite of them all. I most likely would have given up on Solana DeFi if it wasnt for @jup_portfolio.

This will be my last post for a very long time, it's time for me to go. I'm leaving Jupiter and I'm leaving crypto for an undetermined time, after almost 10 years of deep interest for this industry. What started as a hobby ended up with a lifetime opportunity building SonarWatch for 4 years and joining Jupiter for 1.5 years, this journey went beyond what I could have dreamed for. I've met many incredible human beings, went to crazy conferences (@solana does it better) and gave all my energy and time to try and build the best portfolio tracker for this space and this community. It's now time for me to take on another path and explore something different to start learning again! Thank you @olivier51_, this couldn't have been possible without you. Thank you @solana for creating such a cool community and work environnement. Thank you @sssionggg @weremeow & @kashdhanda for the trust and opportunity to work for such a cool company and product, Just Use @JupiterExchange. Thank you to everyone I've met or worked with during those years, it's been a pleasure. My DMs will always be open and I'll check here or in Telegram from time to time if you want to reach out. See you around, Geninsus a.k.a Guillaume. 🫡

@Bfaviero Pretty much my feeling.

Finally seeing friends again on Twitter

"2% inflation"

@buffalu__ JTX is a new MEV aware aggregator?

You do not have to be a “professional” to trade here. You have to want your trades executed professionally. Only 1% to where we want to be.

Disabled short form video apps on my phone. Once im no longer catch myself looking to open the app, twitter app might be next. Either that or video content on computer.

@gaius1337 When many turned twitter into a job...

I’m so saddened that Twitter has become 90% ai agents and 9% people trying to create drama for clicks

@xer0c Can you recreate it? :)

TIL: removing all SOL from a Solana account does NOT delete it. - you'd expect: drain the lamports, account's gone. - reality: account stays at 0 SOL, data still readable, getProgramAccounts still returns it. Solana purges zero-lam accounts at epoch boundaries via a separate garbage collector. Until then it's a ghost 👻. what Anchor does on close (and what you should do): - drain SOL - reassign the PDA to SystemProgram - resize to 0. Now it's not yours, holds nothing, and drops out of getProgramAccounts. ✅

@binji_x Its not ideal but its innevitable.

Please explain why MEV is good, what’s ONE good point about getting inexplicably bamboozled while doing a transaction? It’s like moving to London, getting your phone snatched, and then everyone celebrating the snatcher for being a chad. I thought this was a SAFE SPACE man.

@Speedmanaged @puckrin Kind of like why Iran is doing this

@puckrin It’s about the principle and not creating a precedent for the future.

So, in order to avoid paying a $2m toll, the US is helping ships through the Hormuz with: - Multiple surveillance aircraft & drones - Fighter & electronic warfare jets - Seahawk helicopters - Destroyer warships I wonder how much all of that costs?

@4u_noname @forcemm @WallStreetApes Onlyfans are very popular so... maybe popularity isnt a good benchmark

@Richard_ISC @forcemm @WallStreetApes I wonder why its unpopular, could it be that people who do it are on the same spiritual level as an onlyfans whore? who knows

The CEO of StubHub exposed in SEC documents to own a hedge fund thats scalping millions of tickets on StubHub making a fortune Everything is a scam “StubHub bills itself as an online marketplace for fans where they can buy and sell tickets, but it turns out that StubHub CEO himself also has a hedge fund that is scalping millions of dollars worth of its own tickets” “The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange last fall. They had to file documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in those SEC filings, we find some interesting information. The CEO, Eric Baker, actually owns and manages a hedge fund by the name of Andro Capital. Its business: selling millions of dollars worth of tickets on StubHub — So essentially, StubHub and its CEO are in the business of mass scalping” Here’s a step by step of how the scam works - StubHub CEO’s Andro Capital buys large numbers of tickets, sometimes in bulk from primary sellers, other brokers and events - They then list and sell those same tickets on StubHub at much higher prices - When fans buy the tickets, Andro makes a profit on the price difference, this is the scalping markup - StubHub helps them by handling the listing, pricing and delivery of the tickets, sometimes with special arrangements or lower fees for Andro The result is millions of dollars in ticket sales flow through Andro on StubHub, and the profits go back to the hedge fund that StubHub CEO Baker owns and manages It means with his big money and influence he can move in early, gets the tickets for events, then mark them and rob everyone blind

@cryptopsychdoc Korean style.

Koreans received the biggest ever wealth boom from memory stocks and immediately shoved it into 3x leveraged positions and got wiped out

@4u_noname @forcemm @WallStreetApes It's not price fixing, concerts end up being sold out. It would be price fixing if they on purpose held back supply to keep the price high. There is enough demand at the price set by scalper. It's illegal in some place because it's unpopular. It's just arbitrage.

@Richard_ISC @forcemm @WallStreetApes Price fixing by buying up the supply isn't fair price tho. this is one of those times markets aren't a good tool. Scalping products is pretty low tier behavior, and is actually illegal in some places.

@bowtiedcrake Im not but I did. The added administrative cost alone makes low tariffs very growth stiffling.

@Richard_ISC There is a Laffer Curve to tariffs. Just as taxing 1000% is stupid, so is taxing 0% stupid. Are you a libertarian? If yes unfollow me.

I’m kinda not against dual pricing vs foreigners tbh Would happily pay 30% more in JB knowing that the very worst Singaporeans who pump subsidized petrol meant for Malaysians won’t be there anymore Would happily pay 40% more in Kyoto knowing the worst tourists of the world won’t be there anymore It’s like tariffs but bottom-up

@NotoriousAirbnb Renting a airbnb isnt a shitty thing. Mind your own business 🤣

@Richard_ISC This one big HOA called "Earth" where shitty people do shitty things? Yeah, we'll hold them to account.

Classic example of the damage Airbnb does to housing. This San Diego house sold in Dec 2025. Looks like they tried to rent the back unit, realized they couldn't get $3,100/mo. So instead they list the unit ILLEGALLY on Airbnb 4 months ago.

@forcemm @WallStreetApes The reality is that price will be sold at the fair market price.

@Richard_ISC @WallStreetApes So it’s the artists fault for trying to build lifetime value with fans with pricing at a level that people of all economic backgrounds can come. You can’t build a fan for 20+ years if they can’t afford the show until they are 30

@NotoriousAirbnb You're like a HOA Karen?

Guesthouses & newly-permitted ADUs cannot be used as STR in most of California including San Diego. This ADU was permitted in 2024. Clearly illegal to Airbnb. If they'd just listed it for the $2,400/mo it's worth, someone would have a place to live. airbnb.com/rooms/16204473…

"It was very interesting to see that people are willing to pay a premium just to get out of their positions, or to acquire more ZKFG just to liquidate them. I think that says a lot, not just about the proposal itself, but the fact that people didn't trust the Zinc founder at all" It makes no sense for anyone but the acquirer to bid on the PASS market above $0.15.

@Richard_ISC @ownershipfm what makes no sense? i was just describing what happened

"People were willing to pay a premium just to get out of their positions. That says a lot, the market didn't trust the Zinc founder at all" 8bitpenis on the Zinc pass market trading above its 15 cent cap "One thing I noticed that was pretty interesting was the pricing of the markets. The proposal's pass market should have been pretty much capped at 15 cents, and everybody who wanted to arbitrage should have been able to, and they did. But funnily enough, there was just so much capital on the pass side that it bumped the price above 15 cents, and it traded there for a significant amount of time" "It was very interesting to see that people are willing to pay a premium just to get out of their positions, or to acquire more ZKFG just to liquidate them. I think that says a lot, not just about the proposal itself, but the fact that people didn't trust the Zinc founder at all" "One of the things I really missed in the proposal is what happens if it doesn't go through. Will the Zinc team just give up and try to run away with it, or will they try to come to a resolution with the holders and investors? That's a very fascinating thing"

@jukan05 Korea will follow every foot step that Japan took. I hope not.

One of the things I learned at ICML this year is that Korea is only pretending to take AI seriously. The hype surrounding Korean AI startups is absurdly inflated, and the same goes for university researchers. Compared with China, we are honestly nothing. Korea needs to copy China’s playbook. We should launch something similar to the Thousand Talents Plan to bring back brilliant Koreans working overseas and aggressively poach top foreign AI talent. Otherwise, Korea will simply become an AI-dependent country.
