I see you guys talking about $PNKSTR to $1. Considering the value proposition, holder distribution, burn rate, and greed of crypto enthusiasts, $PNKSTR will flip $PEPE's MCAP in 2026 and become a new meta as "more than a meme." We might even discuss a flippening of $SHIB, so $PNKSTR's price could reach $2–10 easily in a 6-month period.

@daki3crypto It was obvious when they created FUD on their Madlads Strategy token $MLSTRAT. Since then (5 Oct.), Lads are dipping. They didn’t support the alliance-backed project @bandsdotfun and did not want to raise the Lads floor.

"Fock it" is dead. No one is saying this inside the Discord anymore, since everyone is looking for answers. This might come back, but not anytime soon.

Dear @armaniferrante please share your vision about @MadLads cuz we have no info about it after the TGE. And your manager is dont want to communicate just respons with this to me. Its very unprofessional we buy lads for thousends of dollars and get a response like this.

We Were Never His Community. We Were His Fundraise. | Full Long Story Let's start with something most people get wrong. @armaniferrante didn't build Mad Lads alone. @tristan co-founded Coral with him, co-founded Backpack with him, and was the person who spent over a year curating the community before the mint even happened. The allowlist process, the culture, the "WAO — We Are One" identity — that was Tristan's work. Him and @monkdoesnt. They made Mad Lads a name that commanded genuine respect across the entire Solana ecosystem. There's something worth noting. FTX collapsed in November 2022. The Mad Lads mint happened in April 2023, months later, as Solana was still trying to find its footing. Looking back, that mint wasn't just a community launch. It was a lifeline. A way to rebuild and fund the exchange Armani actually wanted to build all along. We were the funding round. We just didn't know it at the time. After Tristan and Monkey left, everything that came after is Armani's legacy alone. The community started hollowing out slowly. The Mad Lads Twitter went quiet. Discord went cold. New Backpack employees had zero respect for Lads holders, some distanced themselves publicly, some talked openly about not caring. But Armani kept saying the right things. Community matters. Loyalty matters. So we stayed. Then the Backpack Exchange announcement dropped and we lost our minds, in the best way. We bought more Lads immediately. At that point Mad Lads was genuinely bigger than Backpack as a brand. The name carried more weight, more trust, more recognition. We thought: this is it. We are the face of something that could become the next Binance. Our patience is about to pay off. Then came the Seasons. Trading points, volume based rewards, the promise of a $BP airdrop. Mad Lads holders are not traders, we never were. We are believers, holders, community people. But we didn't want to be left behind. So we tried. We generated volume. Lost real money. And told ourselves: it's fine, TGE is coming, he won't forget us. Season 2. Season 3. Still no utility for Lads. Still no mention of Lads. The only thing we ever received was a fee reduction on the exchange, a benefit built for traders, given to a community of people who aren't traders. By that point, I don't think they thought about us much at all. The signals were everywhere. Mad Lads Twitter stopped posting. Armani became active on Backpack Discord and went silent on Lads Discord. His language shifted from "our community" to "Mad Lads are not our product." When KOLs posted hit pieces on Backpack, who was in the replies defending him every single time? Lads holders. Always. Someone slid into my DMs, an ex-Backpack employee. Said simply: "Lads will not get an airdrop." I dismissed it. We all did. We thought Armani was filtering out farmers. The real ones would be taken care of. He values loyalty, right? We chose to believe that. When people close to the team started posting about "all the airdrops Lads already received," we read between the lines. The message underneath was obvious: you already ate, stop asking. But we held on. When Armani posted "NFTs might be dead but Lads are just getting started" we took it as confirmation. He still sees us. He didn't. Then the snapshot. The tokenomics. The number that made the whole community go silent. One percent. Not for bots. Not for farmers. For the people who had been there from the beginning. Who defended him publicly. Who absorbed trading losses to generate volume for his exchange. One percent for the backbone. The response when the community asked why? Simple. Cold. You already ate. Then came yesterday, one day after the TGE. As community managers have now confirmed, newly traded Mad Lads will no longer receive VIP status on Backpack. If you held before, you are grandfathered in. But anyone buying today gets nothing. No utility. No benefit. No connection to the exchange we spent years supporting. He waited until after the airdrop to quietly close the door. No announcement. No explanation. Just policy. That is not an oversight. That is housekeeping. The community served its purpose, the token launched, and the last remaining thread was cut the very next day. Here is what I believe now. Armani got lucky. He got lucky that Tristan was brilliant at building community culture from the ground up. He inherited loyalty that most founders spend years trying to manufacture. And instead of stewarding it, he extracted it. Quietly, gradually, until there was nothing left to take. Mad Lads was never the goal. Backpack was always the goal. Mad Lads was the vehicle that got him there. Once it served its purpose, it got parked. And the tragic part? It didn't even work. The TGE underperformed. The trader community is fractured. Chinese holders are rising up over witch-hunt accusations. He distanced himself from the community that loved him unconditionally and couldn't hold the one he replaced us with. Mad Lads gave Armani everything. Capital, credibility, cover, and community. We were there when nobody else was. We made Backpack look legitimate before Backpack had earned that on its own. WAO. We Are One. We meant it. He never did.

Yeap This Is What Loyalty Is...

@PebblesSol @mango_ @MadLads @MonkeDAO @FamousFoxFed @Claynosaurz @GalacticGeckoSG @alliance @bandsdotfun good to hear but you should know about the flywheel effect. Go check on them. These tokens help their NFTs to increase floor by buying cheap and selling higher.

@sserkul @mango_ @MadLads @MonkeDAO @FamousFoxFed @Claynosaurz @GalacticGeckoSG @alliance @bandsdotfun I’m not new to NFTs… that has nothing to do with sol price and floor price.

State of Solana NFTs in 2026: - @MadLads: 20.9 SOL → 9.34 SOL - @MonkeDAO Gen2: 14.27 SOL → 16.77 SOL - @FamousFoxFed: 2.34 SOL → 3.83 SOL - @Claynosaurz: 8.95 SOL → 12.96 SOL - @GalacticGeckoSG: 3.45 SOL → 4.05 SOL Do NFTs deserve a comeback?

@SolanaMBS has a strategy token: $SMBSTRAT and holds many NFTs.

@PebblesSol @mango_ @MadLads @MonkeDAO @FamousFoxFed @Claynosaurz @GalacticGeckoSG Did you know there are strategy tokens for these NFTs? $MLSTRAT and $SMBSTRAT for example. Check what @alliance is trying to do with @bandsdotfun and give your thoughts.

@mango_ @MadLads @MonkeDAO @FamousFoxFed @Claynosaurz @GalacticGeckoSG Yeah it probably is. Sol value doesn’t make sense as sol went way down, gotta put the $$$ price next to it to see if the “price” went up or down

@The_Chart_Degen @SolanaMBS @bandsdotfun @goodvibesclub @ChimpersHQ The only problem here is that @bandsdotfun is lost and @alliance doesn't give a shit about it.

@sserkul @SolanaMBS @bandsdotfun @goodvibesclub @ChimpersHQ I'm intrigued.

Dear @SolanaMBS community, We already have a token on @bandsdotfun with the ticker $SMBSTRAT We can follow the same strategy to build our own NFT treasury and token on Solana. Check these collections: @goodvibesclub and @ChimpersHQ. They used a similar token strategy with @token_works on Ethereum.

@The_Chart_Degen @SolanaMBS @bandsdotfun @goodvibesclub @ChimpersHQ Yes, just like this, but the fees are 2.5% instead of 10%.

@sserkul @SolanaMBS @bandsdotfun @goodvibesclub @ChimpersHQ Hey, how does this smbstrat token work? Are there buybacks and burns like with tokenworks?

@theresalieb We much love the full moon though. 🎉

Happy New Moon! 🌑 🌚

@reesistancee @DefiIgnas @cryptopunks @token_works If you know you know 😎

@sserkul @DefiIgnas @cryptopunks @token_works The token works $PNKSTR

Feeling like buying some shitcoins. That's a feeling I haven't had for months now. What are some 10x plays? lol

@anglio @bandsdotfun

@anglio Well, as you know Mad Lads community is active and their Mad Lads Strategy token $MLSTRAT is low mc and holding 56 NFT already.

What’s the best coin to ape right now ? Low mc with very active community 👇👇

@anglio @DefiIgnas as a Mad Lads holder do you own any Mad Lads Strategy token $MLSTRAT from @bandsdotfun ?

@DefiIgnas pengu fartcoin avici

ETH pumping? @token_works strategy tokens pumping harder. The flywheel doesn't lie. 🚀 $PNKSTR

@RareDamos @itisjasminnee Don’t you have any opium about the future? 😜

@itisjasminnee Bitcoin puppets because it’s not a project, no expectations no promises, just the most iconic collection on bitcoin

Which ordinal project actually deserves long-term trust?

@quantumcat775 where are you? It's gonna be a year since you got lost.

Crypto felt magical in the early days ✨ Altcoins mostly traded against BTC on centralized exchanges. So when Bitcoin pumped → money rotated into alts. And alts often pumped even harder in BTC terms. Then Ethereum arrived. DEX liquidity on early Uniswap and EtherDelta was mostly ALT/ETH pairs. Now altcoins became extremely sensitive to ETH moves. The classic rotation looked like this: BTC → ETH → alts 🔥 When ETH started running, altcoins absolutely melted faces. But over time something changed. Markets moved to stablecoin pricing. ALT/USDT replaced ALT/BTC. Stablecoin pools replaced ETH pools. Now alts are judged in USD terms instead of BTC or ETH performance. The rotation feels weaker. But something interesting is happening again ⚡ Projects like Token Strategy are bringing back direct ALT/ETH liquidity on Uniswap V4. And if ETH runs… you know what that means. @token_works @cryptopunks $PNKSTR
