I lost over 2 months, because Apple kept rejecting our App Store submission for @funnymoney 🍏❌ submitting crypto-related app didnt make it easier We repeatedly got miscategorized as a CEX. however, we finally made it. Link below👇

@hexbtc Always the same

ZEC and Hyperliquid seem to really upset people bullish imo ngw

@tokenterminal @SkyEcosystem - They keep a lot from it while paying competitive yields - Very disciplined risk approach, they are actually the banking the unbanked by beeing the "defi bank" - Best in class IR - Still on the frontier and beyond the curve on defi/rwa landsscape

@cryptovlat beyond revenue, what makes you excited about @SkyEcosystem?

interesting

@TheiaResearch This

LLMs have sent my podcast appetite to 0. I'll just NotebookLM the podcast in ~5 minutes and listen to actually good books while walking.

If you are planning to launch a token do it now

Not gonna lie, randomly hearing Moonrock get a shoutout on the @solana x @Collector_Crypt podcast made my day: "Really good VCs form their own independent narratives and make their own decisions, it's not a game of 'me too' or following others." Couldn't agree more. And honestly, this might be the single biggest problem in crypto venture capital right now. Too many fund managers have stopped optimizing for returns and started optimizing for not getting fired. They don't want to justify losses to LPs, risk their reputation or blow their chance to raise the next fund. So they do the safe thing. They wait until a16z or Dragonfly leads, then suddenly everyone wants in. Before that? Nobody wants to take the first step. That's not venture capital. That's career management disguised as investing. And it kills exactly the kind of 0 to 1 innovation this industry was built on. No great outcome ever came from being risk-averse. They come from asking: "What if this actually works?" Coming back to Collector, I'm incredibly proud we spotted their potential early, several years ago. Our conviction in the team and the business has only gotten stronger, which is why we've continued to add to our position on the liquid market. Early-stage investing is all about founders. And if you're not willing to size up after meeting someone like @TuomHolmberg, who's been obsessing over his niche for 30+ years and solving its issues from having them experienced first-hand, then what are you even doing in early-stage investing? As @cdixon said: "The next big thing will start out looking like a toy." What started as small marketplace for Pokemon cards is growing into something entirely different. Pokemon cards alone will grow into a massive asset class in their own right. But that's just where it starts. From here, Collector expands vertically across sectors until it owns the entire value chain. This isn't a small marketplace anymore. It's a beast in the making. We've only seen the tip of the iceberg and I am proud to have seen it while it wasn't even a tip.

@stephencockring I never backed him or launchcoin

@cryptovlat The same venture capitalists who backed Ben Pasternak and Launchcoin are saying zec is the next 1000x what a surprise

BTC was made as a new SoV to protect you against debasement ZEC was made for the second order effects of that

@joelkaka @mert x.com/arjunkhemani/s…

@mert @cryptovlat wer zec memes

@pet3rpan_ This! Seeing Hype trend with higher lows + people acting with extreme apathy the signal to push hard.

The strength that $HYPE exhibited during the nuke early March was a pretty clear sign of things to come

Everyone is afraid to be bullish and reacts with apathy to green candles Dial up the exposure

@RaoulGMI @thedoomedxyz @XCOPYART Always buying and vaulting more X

My guess is that @XCOPYART outsells both Banksy and Hirst currently in value traded, and no one in the UK even knows that he is their biggest artist, which is good. Disgusted to see Banksy doxxed for clicks.

@mert 🛡️

@cryptovlat zec mentioned

@leonidas_xyz @OVRtheReality Overs die hard community of mappers is underrated

it was about time to finally get attention on this. might be a huge catalyst for DePIN and data collection networks like @OVRtheReality when i last checked the data quality on both platforms, Over actually had way better imagery than Niantic. the video below is a random example of two data sets near Times Square and Union Square that i picked for comparison. explore it yourself, it is wild how much high quality 3d imagery they have already collected some more background on Over: Over has built a highly advanced 3D imagery data engine with more than 195,000 mapped locations and 93 million images collected. by coordinating a global community of mappers to scan high-traffic locations, Over may have built one of the largest 3D mapping datasets in the world. data is scarce, and real-world data is even harder to gather at scale. this proprietary dataset can power a wide range of Physical AI use cases, from training vision foundation models to enabling accurate visual positioning systems and supporting AI-driven XR publishing and browsing.

@andyyy @Birdyword Apparently crypto is not as uncool as we thought

@Birdyword Oil futures have been open all weekend???

Enjoy the last nine hours with your families and friends before oil futures open

continue to believe that zcash is the last possible 1000x in crypto. gov overreach, money printing, rise in socialism, quantum. all massive multi-decade tailwinds. as with btc, don’t trade it. accumulate during periods of apathy and hold it for 10-20yrs.

There is no second best

CT would really prefer having a company with a loosely attached token that leads to structural disadvantages, which can result in the project not being successful. Compared to owning equity, this model is far less attractive Tokenized equity would obviously be the best-case outcome
