Frens….do not let me take all your $SOL pls

I think a lot of people in crypto venture have fallen into a slump, feeling like the space is uninspiring and that the talent has left. Fear not, there are still some places with insane talent and innovation: - payments (issuing bank, acquiring bank, aml, on/off ramps, float management, card issuance, neobanks, UX improvements, CEX/DEX integrations, insurance, merchant onboarding/interchange rate negotiation) - prediction markets (resolution, float management, sports market data aggregation/data pipelining, node colocation/integration with existing exchange infrastructure, indices, packaged markets, multi-step markets, continuous markets, bond-like products, private credit-like products) - consensus/protocol engineering (@commonwarexyz shipping upgrades like it's 2021 and the competition is still fierce) - MEV/order routing (propAMMs, solving networks, builder economics, orderflow mempools/marketplaces, upcoming MCP upgrades!!!) who knows about the future of altcoins but the future of crypto venture is bright. keep your head up king.

Solana is down 57% since the spot ETFs launched in July (that is about as unlucky timing as you'll ever see in ETFs) yet they managed to not only accumulate $1.5b in flows but not really give any of it up. Further, 50% of the assets are from 13F filers = serious inv base. Both really good signs for future IMO. Great note out today on it from @JSeyff

@mrmazor007 @0xZergs That one didn't work out clearly but whole NFT market collapsed. I got crushed in pretty much all my NFT buys.

@SOLBigBrain @0xZergs Are you proud of bubble goose ballers where investment was made and people forgot ???

Proud early backer of @0xZergs & team. They are going after a big TAM here and I believe they have the right team to execute on this vision. Keep an eye on this one.

@bigmrblue Anytime. Just pop in the office if in town :)

@SOLBigBrain Can port co’s get access? Asking for a friend…… who is me. Im the friend

Health is wealth. Just added this quality red light/pemf bed to our office for the whole team to use. I plan on hopping in it daily. What device should we pick up next?

@markwasonline Sadly we are not.

@SOLBigBrain Are you hiring?

@SOLbuckets Anytime you stop by you are free to hop in. Just got installed today.

@SOLBigBrain lemme hop in that thing

@SolanaSensei Got one at home. Need to be more consistent using it though.

@SOLBigBrain Get an ice bath bro

This is wild. Lesson for newer folks investing. NEVER ape into something that lists only a soft cap and not a hard cap. "But accepting only $2.5M would have funded a few months of operations" 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Who aped into this at a 69M FDV in this market?

The MegaETH Global Stress Test 11B transactions in 7 days. On Jan 22nd, we’re opening mainnet to users for several latency-sensitive apps while the chain is under intense sustained load. Ultra-low fees. Real-time transactions. Public Mainnet in the days that follow.

@WalkerHebborn @SCUMSOL @slimes_studio_ @otablem This is 🔥

My very first physical collectible arrived today and it’s insane. I’ve been a day one admirer of @SCUMSOL and @slimes_studio_ - of which I’m now lucky enough to call myself a collector. Excited for the future.

“The distance between deciding and doing is the single most reliable predictor of whether your life will be extraordinary or ordinary.” These three paragraphs will change your life:

Quick heads up. There is a scammer on LinkedIn representing he is with @BigBrainVC and he is NOT. Do not interact or engage with him and report him if he has contacted you. The scam account is in the screenshot below. Scammers getting more creative. Be safe out there.

I just want someone to love me like @SOLBigBrain loves buying his bags when they’re at discounted prices

This looks bullish to me... x.com/jswihart/statu…

I've been quiet, but when I see some good FUD and price action move down while people are fearful but nothing fundamentally has changed, I stay bullish and buy more. Thank you for some nice discounted ZEC today. 🤝

Your bankroll is your product, and your job is to compound it, not entertain it. New Years Tip... Most traders treat holding as neutral. Holding is an active decision you renew every day. If you do not force yourself to see that, you drift into gambling behavior. You stop evaluating positions on expected return and start defending them because you already own them. Step 1: Start with a clean balance sheet. List every on-chain asset you own and convert it into 1 USD total. That number is your capital base. If you want to take it a step further, consider swapping everything into stables and treat the friction as an intentional cost paid to reset judgment and decision-making. A stable-only baseline removes the built-in bias that comes from being positioned. It forces every re-entry to be explicit, sized, and justified from zero. This works because positions create blind spots. When you hold tokens, you lose sight of optionality. Optionality is your ability to redeploy capital into a better setup. Every day you hold an asset, you pay an opportunity cost. The cost stays invisible while you remain invested, because “doing nothing” feels like a default action. Selling removes that default. Once you are out, your judgment improves because you regain full choice. After a full reset, many chips will not return to the same bets, and the ones that do return will usually come back with cleaner sizing and clearer reasons. Step 2: Define a target yearly ROI for your capital base. Once you have your capital base, make the second shift. Define a target yearly ROI for that USD total. This turns trading into capital allocation with a measurable objective. It also gives you a benchmark that filters behavior. Without a target ROI, your goal becomes open-ended. Open-ended goals invite emotion because there is no stopping rule. In crypto, that usually creates a predictable loop: greed expands risk, volatility punishes sizing, people roundtrip, then they try to “make it back” quickly, then they take low-quality trades, then they blow up. A target ROI is an anchor because it gives you a reference point for risk-taking. When an opportunity appears, you compare it against your objective and your remaining time in the year. You stop asking “how much can I make?” and start asking “is this risk necessary to reach my number?” That single change reduces overtrading and prevents the common failure mode of giving back outsized gains. A portfolio without a defined return objective drifts toward mood-based risk. A portfolio with a defined return objective forces structure. Position selection, sizing, and exits become decisions tied to a measurable outcome, not impulses.

BREAKING: @MorganStanley filed its first crypto ETFs ever: a Bitcoin ETF and a Solana ETF 🔥
