Crypto is such a disgusting scam and makes me sick. After years in this space I’m done. Crypto has taken more from me than it’s ever given. My time, my sleep, my mental health, my relationships. It’s a casino built on hype and hopium. Deleting my apps, closing my positions, moving on. Good luck to everyone still in it. You’ll need it. Fk this place!

One of the biggest scams lately: @Backpack.
I’ve been holding Madlads for 2 years. Bought at $8K.
Now it’s worth $1K.
.But the team hasn’t been holding Madlads for 2 years.They kept saying “our priority is the Backpack exchange” and pushed it to the background.
They focused on the exchange, spent all resources on it, and it turned into years of farming.
The result? Disappointment.
$BP is worthless, everyone is at a loss.
Madlads holders were already fucked only 1% of the token was allocated to holders.
That equals around 1K $BP… probably not even worth $100.
@armaniferrante fucked the community first.
Now he fucked the users too.
Thanks for playing.

Find myself spending less and less time here.
Crypto content has basically gone to 0. Most crypto accounts have switched to normieslop or techslop or claude-written articles that are 700 words of empty nothingness about something random.
Barely ever see my friends’ posts because of all the constant algo changes, and there’s always some random person in my replies asking if a screenshot of a trade setup is an undisclosed shill 💀
Overall just an utterly terrible user experience.
This place was awesome 6 months ago (and even last month wasn’t too bad), but the last few weeks on here have been almost unusable

@dfinzer @openseafdn A strong project doesn't care about market conditions
Unless if the team want to sell a lot of tokens on day one 💀

an update on $SEA.
the team has been building at full speed, and the foundation had planned to kick off the first steps as part of our march 30th event. but @openseafdn is pushing back the timeline.
a delay is a delay. i’m not going to dress it up, and i know how it lands.
the reality is that market conditions are challenging across crypto right now, and $SEA only launches once. @openseafdn could force the original date, or we could ensure every piece is in place and make this moment what this community deserves.
we gave a tremendous amount of thought to how to do right here. I’m thankful to @HollanderAdam for bringing the community’s voice into every conversation. we’ll be doing the following:
no more waves: the current rewards wave will be our last.
optional fee refund: recognizing that we originally committed to a Q1 date, we’re offering refunds of the platform fees we retained while participating in the rewards waves (3 - 6) that followed our timing announcement. if you like, you can receive a refund of those fees, which when combined with treasure chest prizes, essentially means all of your trading during that period was on us. if you opt for a refund, the Treasures you were awarded during these waves will be removed from your account. details on this process will follow.
honoring existing Treasures: for Treasures you continue to hold, our prior commitment stands: they will be meaningfully considered by the Foundation at TGE. this is independent from allocations for historical activity.
0% fees for 60 days: starting on march 31st, opensea will reduce our own token trading fees to 0%. we want to make it a no-brainer for everyone to experience our new platform: cross-chain token trading, mobile app, perps and more. after this 60 day period, we will put a new system in place that makes fees significantly more competitive for anyone trading consistently on opensea.
product updates: while we’re postponing our march 30th event, we’ll host a separate one in the coming months focused on product updates. it’s been incredible to see the early responses to our mobile app, and we can’t wait to get it into more people’s hands.
so if not now, wen?
when we announced last year, it was too early. that created unnecessary uncertainty and reactivity. so when the Foundation sets a new timeline, it will be deliberate and specific.
here’s why i’m confident that’s the right move:
i’ve been building opensea for almost a decade. when this started, we were two people and the only thing you could trade on OS was cryptokitties. i’ve watched this space go from a niche curiosity to billions in volume to where we are today.
the thing that’s carried us through every cycle was a willingness to make hard calls when it mattered. when our market crashed, we rebuilt from zero: an entirely new stack, a new product, and a new team culture. that hurt in the short term. but today OS2 is undeniably the strongest marketplace offering, and it’s the foundation everything sits on.
we have huge ambitions as a company, and we’re here for the long game. making all of non-custodial crypto delightful on mobile is just the beginning. that means we have to set a very high bar for everything we do, and it’s why i’m so protective of delivering a launch that’s worthy of this community and everything we’re putting into this.
