Beary the Cucumber 🐻⛓️

One of the most rewarding things crypto has allowed me to do is give back to communities that truly need it. It’s incredibly humbling to meet teachers who earn so little yet still buy food or clothes for their students out of pocket. To see elderly community members travel just to say thank you because nobody has ever given their community anything. And to watch kids who’ve grown up without parents or money find happiness in the simplest things and appreciate everything SO MUCH ❤️ Never subscribe to CT’s idea of what “enough” means. Step outside the bubble and you’ll see how a few dollars can genuinely change lives and bring tears of joy. Thank you for staking with Purrposeful x HyBridge x PiP and making this possible! Thank you, Hyperliquid (for existing, this is an independent effort) 🙏

Wanna shout out @CapitalMonet for introducing me to @Lighter_xyz *very* early on (January) Just like when @larrythecumber introduced me to @HyperliquidX basically on day 1, and the airdrop and connections that followed were worth millions. A small intro can make a world of a difference. Networking is the most valuable thing you can do to your net worth in this space. @CapitalMonet you the goat

A few days ago @build_on_bob completed its TGE. For many early users, it was one of the most underwhelming and confusing distributions we’ve seen. There’s a common thread that “airdrop farmers shouldn’t be rewarded.” Sure, but it’s worth examining what actually happened here... I came to BOB in early 2024 while looking for secure and trust-minimized ways to extend the functionality of my Bitcoin. Lightning and Liquid have their limitations, so an OP-stack environment with a long-term vision for BitVM bridging was compelling. I made my first transactions in May ‘24 and later that summer spoke in person with @alexeiZamyatin about the broader roadmap. From there, I explored the ecosystem, traded, lent, experimented with solvBTC, Segment lending, and even joined the Sovryn LP migration for a SPICE bonus which resulted in significant IL. Throughout all of this, BOB continued to see market growth, new integrations, and increased momentum. SPICE points accumulated, and my leaderboard ranking hovered between 300 and 600 out of hundreds of thousands of users. During this period, BOB raised roughly 21M, and later another 7M through their crowdsale. Nearly 30M in total. Plenty of capital to keep going. TGE was announced while at Devconnect, and I was at the Native BTCFi Summit that BOB hosted the same day. I spoke with team members, mentioned I had been an early participant, and looked forward to reviewing my allocation. When I finally checked, I learned I was eligible for ~29,000 tokens (about $650 at the time). With max lockup and staking for 18 months, that number could climb toward 100,000, but only if I committed to another year and a half of BOB staking...ruthless. After almost two years of activity, risk exposure, and consistent participation, it was an unexpected outcome. I had put tens of thousands of dollars at risk throughout that period. The effective yield from this entire effort was less than that of an average savings account. Even simple T-Bills would have produced more meaningful results, and supplying assets to Aave on mainnet would have been more competitive on a risk-adjusted basis. I bridged BTC to WBTC on BOB, accepted the custody and bridge risks, provided liquidity, tested protocols, and supplied assets to smart contracts. *** All the while contributing to metrics that helped secure funding and narrative momentum *** I'd seen enough and decided to exit, only to find that the liquidity for BOB’s own token wasn't on BOB. It wasn’t even on Ethereum. It was on BNB Chain. A hybrid Bitcoin L2 with its primary markets on BNB Chain is a bewildering choice. Yet that’s where users had to go to exit BOB. Meanwhile, unwinding WBTC positions on BOB requires rollup challenge periods if you missed the WBTC OFT migration windows, and solvBTC exiting needs liquidity through Ethereum mainnet. Even if I wanted to stay, the path forward required leaving. I see no reason for sticky liquidity and no clear incentive to return. The BOB token isn't even sticking around; it's headed to BNB... Another issue: many users with large SPICE balances accumulated through months of activity were entirely ineligible for any TGE distribution. The points system was heavily promoted for nearly two years. Using those metrics to grow TVL and community activity while excluding huge portions of those users at TGE sends a message, intentional or not. Where this leaves BOB today: • An OP-Stack Ethereum L2 Rollup • ETH as its gas token • WBTC as its BTC liquidity layer • A two-year points program that excluded major segments of its own leaderboard • Core token liquidity deployed on BNB instead of BOB • No meaningful incentive structure that keeps builders, liquidity, or users on the chain I had hoped to see a long-term plan toward Bitcoin alignment, particularly in light of Alexei's work on BitVM. Instead, the launch felt like a max extraction event, not the foundation of a sustainable ecosystem. Plus, it has no meaningful connection to Bitcoin and is rooted solely in BitGo's custody for WBTC after all this time. At this point, I have no plans to return to BOB. This is yet another reason why Bitcoin Maxi's keep shouting about shitcoiners. gg;wp Note: GPT helped refine this. After the level of extraction involved in the process, I wasn’t interested in drafting a long post from scratch. All participation described here is accurate.

This is a call to all hyperliquid community : REMOVE YOUR STAKE FROM Native markets voters and @kinetiq_xyz because they are voting for the winners. If Native Markets wins $USDH ticker, this is bearish for hyperliquid. You can stake to : @hyperbeat (paxos) @asxn_r (ethena) @B__Harvest (paxos) - Purrposeful x hybridge x PiP (paxos) @imperator_co (ethena) @validaoxyz (paxos) (to me the best option is paxos) SHAME ON THE VALIDATORS THAT DOESNT LISTEN TO COMMUNITY : SHAME ON @nansen_ai & @hypurr_co SHAME ON @HypurrScan SHAME ON Hyperstake SHAME ON @hypurrcorea SHAME ON @flowdesk_co SHAME ON @rekt_gang SHAME ON @IMCTrading SHAME ON @PierTwo_com SHAME ON Alphaticks SHAME ON @infinitefieldx Community wants @Paxos or @ethena ,Not Native markets EVERY VOTE COUNT. "There are no allocations for private investors, centralised exchanges, or market makers." MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD, REALLOCATE YOUR STAKES. If native markets represent @HyperliquidX's USDH, it will be a great loss for Hyperliquid. It's not too late. Will do a post later to give more details of why it's bearish for hyperliquid.

@xulian_hl Stop running from my DMs

@Sk0ti @PrudentAnon Always appreciated you. Thanks for being you 💚

😭😭😭 thanks for the memories and for closing down responsibly with distribution of treasury funds 🤗 @larrythecumber @PrudentAnon

@captainjack @babyberafinance Forearm reduced to ashes now 🥲

@larrythecumber @babyberafinance Mf give forearm dox 🤤

baby bought this windowlicker deck for $98. it’s listed on secondary markets rn for $200-250. (never selling…but I could…) these market dynamics for unique physical items produced in small quantities has been a major influence for baby. babybera shop coming soon…👀

@captainjack @babyberafinance Yo watch the hand dox

@babyberafinance For sure - can't be mass scale but if we wanna do a limited run of like 3-5 I can run it Here's the one I built for @larrythecumber a month or so ago with leftovers I had from my heyday. Has a little LED Bongo Cat that bangs the table when you type lol

@captainjack @0xWenMoon @hellojintao Larp confirmed but lub you 😗

@0xWenMoon Symptomic imo, have worked with some excellent devRel like @larrythecumber and @hellojintao

One of my biggest points of contention with "BD" in crypto is that almost no one actually does Business Development. 80%+ of the space is just top of funnel sales larping as BD, who then have to hand of to a DevRel to do real BD, or (god forbid) sacrifice eng time. Level Up.

Which era do you miss the most?

i just became aware of a whale who owns 5% of a chain TVL and has been accumulating the native token via farming for the sole purpose of absolutely nuking the chart diabolical

We've made the collective decision to sunset bArtio early, as we prepare for the rollout of Bepolia - Berachain's future canonical testnet over the next few weeks. For support or questions, please reach out to us in Discord and we'll be happy to help. Thanks so much for making bArtio one of the most successful testnets of all time!

🐾The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here, BeraPaw is live! Start minting $LBGT→ berapaw.com

Berapalooza was a massive success. 700+ people showed up to chat Berachain, meet the eco, & listen to panels. It was a pleasure meeting & seeing so many of the folks supporting & never heard so many people say that this is the most fun they've had onchain in years. Bera/acc

And that's a wrap! Berapalooza's highlight reel included: - New CTO, @grizzlybera2025 - Paypal USD's supply dominance on Berachain - The Sky Agent Framework's first deployment outside of Ethereum, @PolarisOnBera - Ecosystem teams including Infrared, Kodiak and Dolomite ranking within the top 5/10 protocols across each of their respective categories - And finally, governance Phase I rollout, with $500k+ of weekly incentives for BGT boosters already committed from reward vault applications, with much more to come. Berachain.

Hey everybody! Wrote another blog post about how you might want to spend your time on Berachain, different types of dApps that are live and cooking, and some strategies worth checking out. Give it a read and hit me up if you have any questions. blog.berachain.com/blog/whats-pos…

@Justinvestor @twfhyr @ika_xbt @basedscarf The distribution shows that the vast majority is held by smaller wallets (i.e. retail) What suggests it's bad?

@twfhyr @ika_xbt @larrythecumber @basedscarf This distribution is really bad, right?

new update on BGT dashboard： 1. add bera supply which is also suggested by @ika_xbt . the supply is fetched by calling the api provided by @larrythecumber . 2. add ibgt stats, including supply and holers and holders distribution, required from @basedscarf one thing to note that the holders of ibgt is a bit different with berascan because we filter holders who hold less than 0.01 iBGT. dune.com/thj/bgt
