Noticing a lot of people saying this time is different. Cycles broken etc. They said it in 2017 with ICOs. They said it in 2021 with NFTs. Now they’re saying it again... because ETFs, governments, and Wall Street are here. But cycles don’t disappear... They evolve. Each Bitcoin run lasted about 1,050 days from bottom to top... like clockwork. And every time, the total multiple shrinks: 2015 → 2017: ~120× 2018 → 2021: ~22× 2022 → 2025: ~8× 2026 → 2029 (Projected): ~3× See the pattern? The highs are lower, but so are the lows. That means volatility is compressing... Bitcoin is maturing. ...dis is gud. Institutions now absorb sell pressure. Governments are stacking supply. Retail’s liquidity flows into memes, gaming, and new narratives... not panic dumps. We might not get 100× returns again outside of memes. But we might also never see 80% drawdowns either on BTC. Imo.... we're going into the new age of diminishing extremes... timing beats hype... conviction replaces chaos.

"There is no peace for the man who has seen what he could become"

More stability but strategically this should have been implemented at the cycle top, versus the bear Market bottom. At the cycle top launching a new coin with usdc would have been the smart play because it would reduce your downside on market cap. Launching a coin on usdc in a likely bottomed out bear, is the opposite strategy that you want since you need the upside. But long time multicycle coins, makes more sense for stability yes

A big move towards better onboarding of retail users and a healthier ecosystem. Aside from introducing a stablecoin as the base currency for launched coins, the market parameters are now back to where they were during pump’s most prosperous eras. More stability, higher floors, higher ceilings, better distribution, less supply abuse, a more balanced ecosystem.

@realdogen There's just not much liquidity right now on chain

i really don't get it man...

@stephio001 Good point

@samdude Same principle applies to markets too tbh

If you accept failure in the gym because you know it's optimal for growth, but you’re worried about failing in the other aspects of your life, you might want to rethink your position.

@wallstreetbets If it's real gold I'll sell it and buy some Bitcoin

would you wear this?

@GordonGekko I think I'll still be OK

Am I seriously about to be in penis debt?

@mistor Where can I buy one though?

@trollfather Chad looks good

Haven’t checked new pairs in weeks. Took a look today… instantly closed my Mac andbecame infinitely more bullish on $troll The new pair garbage makes OG memes stand out well

@Bayc364 Need more happy people

Contrary to what your timeline seems like, you actually don’t need to spend the majority of your time watching drama and absolutely retarded racist incels infiltrate their way into your subconscious. There are good happy people all around. Just seek them out and curate your timeline accordingly with the mute button.

This exact same thing happened to me when departing for an international flight from Houston. My gun was found in my backpack in the security scanner as I went through. Stupid accident from being at the range the week before. I was extremely fortunate that day even though my CHL had expired which I wasn't sure about, the computer the officer used just happened to be down so he couldn't access the system. After a lot of s******* my pants and explaining the accident, they escorted me back to the vehicle to put the gun inside and the worst I got was a big fine from the government. Amazing how one little packing mistake can almost ruin your life

Okay. I'm ready to talk about this. It was the worst month of my life. Also ironically the greatest blessing god has ever given me. Last month I was held in the Cayman Islands facing 15 years in prison. The charge: illegal firearm importation. Here's what happened. More importantly what I learned. Short answer: no. I haven't been smuggling guns. In the States I legally carry a gun on me at almost all times for self defense. Part of this is ensuring I am trained. Hence why I routinely go to the range to shoot. When I do I pack the firearm I intend to use in in a backpack. Last month I was in a giant rush to make a private flight and didn't fully check my backpack before leaving. In it was a small firearm I missed. It was discovered when I went through immigration. At first I assumed I'd just be sent home. Then my wife did some quick research. She pointed out the minimum sentence for importing a gun is 15 years. The police who showed up confirmed it. To say I nearly pissed my pants is an understatement. This was completely my fault. I'm an idiot. The point of this post isn't to blame or complain about anything. The laws there are fair. I'm a grown man capable of checking his bag before flying. The point is: for three weeks on the island (on bail), I got to take a long hard look at my life. I've built a high net worth and a company I love, with people I love working with. I have a beautiful wife who is my best friend. I do whatever I want all day every day. My parents are alive and I get to see them almost every week. Still, despite all this, I often wake up annoyed I haven't done enough with my life. Asking myself "is this it?" In fact I'm pissed half the time, feeling I can do better. Which is ironic. I made $20,000 a year in the military. If you'd told me then I'd achieve a 9 figure net worth and all the above, I would've assumed I'd consider my life a dream. The twist truly hit me on the island as I watched everything I worked hard for in my life held at "gunpoint". Pun intended. Everything I worked so hard to get — poof. Didn't matter for shit. The way the law works there are simple : if you can't prove it was an accident, the minimum is 15 years. It became glaringly obvious. Not only was I an absolute idiot who couldn't pack his own bag. I'd also become a fool who couldn't enjoy the blessings I already had. I'd taken all the people in my life and the success totally for granted. Blind. Blind. Blind. Nothing like a 20-year potential sentence to make you realize: waking up with fun stuff to work on, then chilling on the couch reading with your wife at the end of the day — that's about as good as it gets. I should be euphoric 24/7. To go from having it all, to potentially not even having the option to piss and shit when you want — that's a wake up call if there ever was one. Luckily, the Caymans is a fair place. I was found under exceptional circumstances during my trial. AKA the judge and the courts reviewed the case and agreed it was an accident. I still love the island. It's probably my favorite place to vacation. Just check your luggage before you go. Ha. My point is this: be present. Enjoy your life. One day something could happen — even by complete accident — and yoink it all away. I have so many friends who'll read this and by all definition live a "dream life" — and yet are dissatisfied just like I was. If anything this is the default for most successful men. Not the exception. I'm writing this to help you stop. It took god slapping me across the face with my own ignorance to see it. It was painful and scary. Dark. But honestly, it was the greatest blessing I've ever received. I'm writing this from my office at home, giddy as absolute fuck about my life and everything I have the option to do today. If anything, I'm sad about how much time I wasted feeling otherwise. Don't be ignorant and stupid like me. You might not get the blessing of a 15-year prison threat in a foreign country to wake you up. Wake up. Appreciate what you have now.

@poe_real69 Always had the balls to ride them up, just never got around to selling

I have an affinity love for turning a little money into a lot of money aka hitting many X's and I genuinley love to trench on free time so my port is allocated to both long term holds where I truly believe there are no ceilings, and low caps where I get rugged 20 times before I hit that 100x, while my long term bags cook. You can play this game anyway you like. There is no right or wrong, however one thing i can't deny is that if we all put our capital into the main winners the trenches will be a better place, however not many have the liq or patience / balls to ride a coin from $1m or $10 to $100m upwards So just take your picks and place this game how it works for you, I like to play both games personally

Putting myself deep in the trenches of AI lately. The space moves so fast it only takes a few weeks to get behind. Anyone building anything out there?

@machibigbrother I'd be thrilled

I minted this ape 5 years ago and sold it for 1.55 eth not knowing female apes are so rare. Welcome back. Who should I gift her to?

@thememeshunterx @BinanceUS @toly @a1lon9 Looks like normal pullbacks

SOLANA IS SO FUCKED $USDUC listed on @BinanceUS down 87% from ATH $BURNIE baked by the FOUNDER of SOLANA @toly and recently soft shilled by ELON MUSK down 67% from ATH $HANTA shilled by the FOUNDER of PUMPFUN @a1lon9 down 80% from ATH WE’RE SO FUCKED 💀

@CiroxEth amen. crush it

@samdude Good morning! Ready to make it a great night

gm tonight

@realdariusdt @jackunheard doesn't have it all though. I've lived in 9 states and 3 countries, and travelled to 23 countries. When I travel around the USA, feels like slight variations of the same thing. It's boring in comparison to hiking through Tairona park, with indigenous filled Jurassic landscapes

@jackunheard I don’t get the appeal of going to other countries. We have 50 incredibly beautiful states to travel to. Most people that travel have been to a handful of states or maybe only a couple which is such a shame imo.

NEW: A 20-year-old woman went blind after wearing contact lenses in the shower during a trip to the Dominican Republic. Grace Jamison was exposed to tap water containing a microscopic parasite which got trapped under her lenses and embedded into her corneas, causing a severe infection. She was initially misdiagnosed and given steroid drops that made it worse. Within one week, she lost all vision in both eyes. After the correct diagnosis, she began intensive anti-parasitic treatment with eye drops every 30-60 minutes. The treatment is expected to last 6 months to a year. She has now regained partial vision in her left eye only. Never expose contact lenses to any water. This is brutal.

@deecayz @a1lon9 @Pumpfun That's a terrible idea.

yo @a1lon9 the only way to save trenches we need ETH on @pumpfun thanks
