Jiurn

I am finally launching my company Here's an introduction to @Inscripedia and the new ecosystem it will introduce, A 🧵👇 1/16

@nikitabier Damn

Happy Friday. Testing a new feature.

@rodarmor WIFE?

Algo doing its thing

@rarefinds Ahhh! Okok

@Jiurn Oh not Pokemon related.

Here’s the Pokemon vintage collectible that you can currently buy for $200: A Pokemon manga volume known as “Pocket Monster Special” Volume 1 in Japanese and 1st Print (September 25, 1997). Also known as “Pokemon Adventures” Volume 1. No graded listings of the first print on eBay, but there are loose (non-graded) copies around $200. Make sure to verify from listing photos (not just the listing itself that claims it’s “first print” or “first edition”) that it’s an actual first print. See fourth photo below for what a first print page looks like.

@rarefinds This one : x.com/rarefinds/stat…

@Jiurn What comment I don’t recall the reference.

@rarefinds I am a big manga fan and id like to buy the first op/dbz but maybe this is actually a future gem. In another comment, you said you had another collectible in mind, what is it?

@Jiurn There was one before that but it was treated more as a “gag” collection with dirty jokes. It was weird.

I lost 1k in pokemon gatchas in 15min Never again

@rarefinds How can I differentiate all the different versions of that card?

The grail Pokemon card that I think reaches $25k or more within five years from now, and which is trading around $4000 (another sale just happened at that price), is the Ancient Mew I "Nintedo" Error Pokemon 1999 Movie Promo Japanese in a PSA 10 grade. The Ancient Mew is already one of the most iconic and well known Pokemon cards ever released, but this specific version is the original first printing and is more valuable, by far, than the English counterpart version of this card (or the less rare Japanese version with corrected spelling). If you are old enough you may remember getting a version of this card at the movie theater when watching the Pokemon movie more than twenty years ago. The image below is the first print which contained an erroneous misspelling of “Nintendo” with “Nintedo” accidentally included. There was just a sale on eBay in a PSA 10 with authenticity guaranteed for just over $4000. Next listing on eBay with authenticity guarantee is for nearly $5000, then it jumps past $10,000. I think that’s where we are heading sooner than most think. Besides the fist edition base set Charizard, there are very few cards that are known by casual fans or the general population as much as the Ancient Mew card, and this is the most rare and valuable version. Iconic AND undervalued.

@StarPlatinum_ It's not that deep, life is meant to be enjoyed brother

I’m 25. I deeply regret spending so much of my younger years partying and drinking. The freshest, most youthful days of my life wasted away. Thank god I’m now better and healthier If you’re 20, please lock in. It only gets harder as you age.

This is the most undervalued card in Pokemon TCG Only 500$ raw??

The new meta will be nothing like the last ones Stay open-minded and curious

@icobeast Crazy ragebait

Looking back ordinals were probably the funniest scam we’ve ever seen in gripto Imagine: >some random dude sees that people were willing to give up dollars for jpegs on eth >thinks “hmm i bet i can get those same ppl to give up the most valuable form of currency ever created for more jpegs if i make up a good story” >completely fabricates an entire protocol that has no relationship to bitcoin functionality and requires an entirely separate set of non-standard indexers and image renderers to even see the existence of >tricks people into thinking they’re valuable because they’re “early” to something “new” ON BITCOIN in 2023 😂 >smart operators realize how dumb their counterparties still are and come in and make up a bunch of useless projects with useless jpegs and take your bitcoin >and then they run it back again with fake ERC20 token imitations that are more difficult to use than reading braille while wearing oven mitts Generational scam, only made possible bc of NFTs. We need a new batch of nft-style people with fresh money in crypto

@DefiIgnas People are hoping AI becomes our exit liquidity at this point

I invested €13,930 in crypto in total. All from 2017 to 2020. Not a cent more of my fiat has gone into crypto since then. Only out to filthy fiat (to feed my familia). My salary was simply too low to invest more, and I quit my job in 2022. Luckily, I made great trades over the years: being early on ETH, later this cycle buying SOL, and finally rotating to HYPE at $12 USD. But to be fair, it was airdrops that made me. More precise, the DeFi summer airdrops: - I farmed $YFI from day one - Got $UNI, $CRV, $DYDX and almost all notable airdrops from DeFI summer - The highest airdrop I’ve ever received was $120K USD in $INV for, wait for it, submitting a google form survey promising to help Inverse Finance. Note: I hoped it would hit $500K, so I didn’t sell at $120K and ended up selling after a 50% drop. Airdrops was the real 'seed' capital that I leveraged from 2022. 2024 was great in airdrops, too! From $JTO, $ETFI, $KAITO (thx so much), to my last airdrop 3 months ago, Monad. The point I'm making: without airdrops I wouldn't have made it to where I am today. Even if I had put all ~14k EUR into ETH at $200, I would be barely 10x to to 140k EUR. Good money, but not life changing. And we were super early back then! Not anymore. For someone who starts with the same €13,930, the chances of 'making it' are MUCH MUCH lower right now than in the 2018-2022 period. Sure, ETH could do another 10x. BTC as well. Some moonshots will always appear but catching it with size are slim. Worst? Is that the machine that made me, airdrops, are dying. Although I believe they will make a come back, the stories of 100k for a google docs survey or a 20k airdrop for a few swaps are gone. No surprise that degens turned to 100x perp trades and memecoins. Sadly, they failed to create the wealth effect that airdrops had. This cycle was not a story of rags to riches, but rather a story of mid-wealth to rags. So much value destruction that really became apparent when $MELANIA launched and later 10/10 hit. Anyway... I don't plan to put more EUR into crypto. Only out. I'll simply recycle my gains trading, airdrop farming etc until I either get generational wealth or lose enough that I will call quits. And that's the problem: many crypto natives I talk to are like me. Only out, not in. So institutions are supposed to be our saviours, buying our bags. But I hope we can create opportunities for our younger selves, notably the Gen Z with 'just' €13,930 to actually make it. Where are those opportunities? Who are building it? RWAs, yield stablecoins, 'low-risk DeFi', neobanks etc. are all great products when you already made it because 5% yield on Aave is good enough for you. But they are not wealth making machines that airdrops were. What are those opportunities now in crypto? If any?

@waleswoosh Happy bday

I turned 26 today. Give me some life advice

@0xzxch @MistCoinEth Then what is it?

@MistCoinEth Except its not the first ERC20. Who even runs this account lol

Ordi ($ORDI): Claimed to be the first BRC-20 (ordinal) deployed on BTC, two years ago. Current mcap 60M$. Nobody uses ordinals (they had to bridge to Solana 🤣) MistCoin ($WMC): Claimed to be the first ERC-20 token deployed on ETH by the author of the standard himself, ten years ago. Current mcap 1M$ ERC-20 is the most adopted standard in the industry and some of the most important financial institutions in the world (Blackrock, JP Morgan) are deploying billions of dollars in ERC-20 tokens. The cornerstone of the tokenization.

@James07570 @thedanman77 I'm waiting for that day too

@thedanman77 Yeah once @Jiurn tells me that Ordinals are starting to make a come back. I‘m probably more interested in the strategy though than the ordinal

I’m thinking about starting to breakdown every NFT collection that’s still around. I’d share whether I’m bearish, bullish, or neutral on each one and explain what I’d expect from it. I’d also compare them to similar projects and point out better entries within the same ecosystem. For example, when it might make more sense to hold several Mutants instead of a BAYC based on the current ratios etc. Let me know if you’d be interested.

Crypto isn't dead by accident Everything is coordinated This was made on purpose by very powerful people I believe everything is manipulated at this point, even Bitcoin Nothing at this scale happens by accident Something is coming...

@legiondotcc This playbook worked very well for a while, especially when tradfi used their relations to get our imaginary money. It wont work forever and crypto will gain a lot from it. The question is what will cause the change?
