Psyops

Chinese Crypto Twitter is so much more honest than English Crypto Twitter. A former Binance listing manager @ChaseWang just said on a Chinese podcast: "Everyone trades short-term with no long-term holders. Retail doesn't understand the value. Market makers only care about short-term profit." That's it. That's the industry. No one holds. No one builds conviction. Every token is a hot potato. English CT won't say this because everyone's talking their own book. Chinese CT doesn't care. Until you fix the holding problem, structurally, not narratively, crypto stays a casino. The answer is downside protection. Everything else is cope.

Solana social defi szn @ridemarkets

two weeks and two days of Ride open beta, a recap: > at its heart, Ride is capital coordination where bets are the trades; a new primitive that only exists on @solana what worked: > we shipped v2 of our program with cheaper, faster transactions > onboarded three new funds, @BanditoDAO , @CyreneAI , @STACCoverflow ; all three now coordinate capital through the primitive. > risk presets per fund and a leaderboard indexer are live. > exceeding our expectations, 32-35% of users become active callers without incentives. > more demand than we can handle by inbound operators reaching out organically to run funds. > The reason people are showing up organically is they understand what Ride really offers: stake $ => direct $$$ of treasury capital, take 30% of the profit. users understand that math when they see it. > we submitted for the @colosseum Frontier Hackathon, wish us luck! what flopped: > leaderboard UI needs work > users mistaking Ride for a prediction market > manual fund onboarding bottlenecks what we learned: > Ride product must teach itself through the interface within 30''. coming up next: > auto-resolver > better social layer > automated onboarding > clearer in-product explanation what do you like most about Ride and what are your biggest FUDs? share away Riders!
