everyday my conviction grows that we see a bottom on btc sometime in Q4 or early Q1 '23 what price lvl? idk. will we v-bounce to new ath's just bc we bottomed? prob not. will many disagree? yes. its what makes a market

what if Idiocracy wasnt a movie but a prophecy

im only viewing the iran conflict in regards to what downstream or 2nd order effects it may have on the above. eventually every iran headline will whipsaw mrkts less and less; a la Elon:Dogecoin

life goes on people adjust markets are good at convincing everyone that the new thing is the ultimate thing but thats rarely ever the case after processing the events of the past few weeks.. in my view there are currently only 2 ultimate bogeys to watch >AI >CHINA

@AviFelman dont forget abt skin stuff..

let it happen

the spice must flow

@delucinator korean or chinese? or you asking for korean chinese like jjajang/jjambong etc

los angeles korean chinese food recs?

if you werent in the right assets, and you were in broad altcoins this time around - you almost certainly got smoked. gut feeling is that BTC is still under owned by most crypto natives.. sad state of things but there are still reasons to be optimistic into 2026

long form "crypto is dead" articles are all the rage now as BTC sits at ~90k, let that sink in this sort of sentiment capitulation is typically reserved for bear market lows most likely a result of the K shaped perfomance of crypto this cycle...

brutal chop after fomc maybe pump tmrrw at NYO to continue chopping more ppl

death chop, but they wont chop me only multi cycle cockroaches or the top % will make it

@kenchangh the short form of this for me is that VC greed has ruined much of original crypto ethos there is still some hope left though. feel like mrkt is slowly realizing this and coalescing around a new narrative.

Go short degeneracy. Or in other words, stop wasting your life in crypto :-) x.com/kenchangh/stat…

buying bottoms = hard mode... but somebody's gotta do it.

f it, maybe its time to get more unfiltered

@VinnyLingham what a king ran a scam for racks back in 2017 cycle, and now gets to pontificate on markets w impunity i hope to be like u one day

“God himself couldn’t sink this ship.” - Titanic “We’ve had flawless launches. No reason this one will be different.” - NASA before Challenger exploded. “The reactor is perfectly safe.” - Dyatlov, mins before Chernobyl blew apart. “Strategy is indestructible” - Michael Saylor

@PillageCapital buy when its a failed experiment battering ram sell when its the fiat killing future of finance

@tulipking i see where ur coming from, but maybe too idealistic for my tastes one of the reasons btc succeeded imo is that satoshi had the foresight to lean into the speculative greed of humans (early mining incentives, etc) i think its good to argue for minimally extractive protocols tho

Crypto avoids the tragedy of the commons because smart contracts are immutable and therefore immune to “lack of upkeep” so long as the network can sustain minimally viable economics (ex: burn evenly matches issuance in a PoS network). ^ this is what I want out of crypto. I want us to leverage the new technology for coordination we’ve been blessed with to build the first truly durable public goods. I understand your point about incentive alignment, that’s good and important — but at least for the instance of DeFI, I’d rather us just scale up and make this stuff free so there’s no incentives to even need to align

You guys realize that the entire point of crypto was to democratize finance right? It wasn't for Hyperliquid and Uniswap to make a billion dollars a year and then for you to get rich off them. The goal is for them to make zero dollars a year

@tulipking the idea of “public goods” makes no sense; tragedy of the commons type stuff. esp in a space where everything is hyper financialized- its better to have good incentives that are properly aligned imo

@albieXBT I don’t want equity-like tokens, I want free and open public goods that make the world a better place. I don’t need every crypto project to be an exercise in max extraction and shareholder value
