@Collector_Crypt sick , me me me!!

@Collector_Crypt @MagicEden wow, now that is sick! Great job guys 💪You guys are single-handeldly revitalizing the entire collectibles industry. You're going to make Numismatism cool again at this pace!

For collectors paying attention: This PSA 10 Luigi Pikachu just sold for $20,000 — a new record. 🏆 Traded on @MagicEden

@MMCrypto seriously, almost all the news is fake now, even U.S. news, be very careful!

I see 90% of War related posts here contain some degree of fake news. It is extremely desperate and miserable to spread that on purpose just for attention.

@CryptoTony__ Which year? Tom Lee had been making outlandish contra - predictions since 2018 and with a horrible correct %.

JUST IN: Tom Lee said, "I think Bitcoin hits $180,000 by February 31."

@Collector_Crypt @charred_io For realz! A platform is only as good as its collection. 3 Charizards is crazy !

⚡️ Pikachu Illustrator sold last night for $16.5m 💡But what is more interesting to our community? 💰 PSA 10 Base Set Shadowless 1st Edition Charizard, the most iconic Pokemon card in the world, sold for $955k 🔥 This is the card that sets the tone for the health of the high-end market 🔥 This is the card that both normies and collectors recognise 🔥 This sale tells us a lot more than the $16.5m headliner 🎴 There's no card with more history than the Charizard, and we're proud to have 3 of them on @Collector_Crypt 💎 These absolute grails were vaulted by @charred_io ; and are an amazing part of our platform's history ⁉️ Who will tokenise #4?

@Collector_Crypt haha nice!

Announcement for the announcement 📢 Gacha will evolve, this week 🔌

@gordongekko @pumpdotfun Seriously, They claim @pumpdotfun is under scrutiny but they don't mention any actual investigation. There is literally nothing in the news about this. Seems like someone at Fox news lost money on a $PUMP deal and is upset.

Fox News trying to FUD my bags and slander PumpFun Mainstream media will try anything to stop us making it out the hood I am bullish on @pumpdotfun 🫡

@sjdedic @Collector_Crypt yes, seriously! If there was ever a case for a free listing based on community numbers, revenue, and stickiness @Collector_Crypt is it! @Bybit_Official at least should have listed it by now.. What are you waiting for?

One of the most stupid things to me is that CEXs like Binance, Coinbase, Bybit & co still haven’t listed @Collector_Crypt. Ridiculous how they pretend they don't charge listing fees. But if that were true, they’d simply list projects with real volume and strong demand to "serve their community and attract new customers." Probably the biggest lie in crypto. Show me a project with more hype and demand than $CARDS right now. Insanely strong performance with avg daily volume of $20M, and one day even topping $100M. All happening purely on DEXs like @RaydiumProtocol and @MeteoraAG. Mostly organic, with limited access as it's fully on-chain. Imagine the volumes if it was accessible for everyone. And yet the next useless L2 no one cares about, like $LINEA, gets a Binance listing because they probably paid them 8-figures worth of tokens that are then being dumped on YOU. People need to wake up to how CEXs are fooling you and start moving over to platforms like Raydium, Uniswap, or Infinex who are actually serving you. The irony is that CEXs would actually be so well positioned to become trillion-dollar businesses. But their greed and extractive nature will eventually be their downfall.

Collector is currently the 29th highest revenue-generating project in all of crypto over the past 7 days. For context, that’s: 0.65x of Solana 0.76x of Base 3.30x of Avalanche 3.68x of Arbitrum 8.23x of Polygon 11.84x of Near 37.50x of Mantle And yet all of these are trading at massive multiples to $CARDS. Why you are asking? Doesn't make sense right...right?! Because most still dismiss consumer-facing products like Collector, while convincing themselves that only "prestigious" infra projects deserve to trade at a premium. This is the paradigm shift crypto has been overdue for. People don’t just want more infrastructure, they crave actual use cases and things to do on-chain. And they’re more than willing to pay for it if it provides real value. Collector is simply the perfect example: the moment something hits true product-market fit, demand explodes. Now let it sink in that Collector has achieved these numbers without spending a single $ on marketing and revenue hasn’t even scratched its potential yet, limited only by the physical bottleneck of keeping up with supply. With fresh capital and liquidity no longer a major blocker, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Collector in the top 10 within months. That’s going to be a rude awakening for the mid-curve VCs and their endless infra circle-jerk plays. I hope this pushes more founders to build what people actually want, not what investors want them to build. We need more platforms like Collector.

@sjdedic @Collector_Crypt @TuomHolmberg @JoeMunnsHK @jinglingcookies @coingecko @RaydiumProtocol @KongBTC @defi_monk @Spvce @marccolcer @huntersolaire_ @legendaryy @crypto_banter Excellent 🙏

The beautiful success story of @Collector_Crypt. Our journey with them began in January 2024, when we first spoke with @TuomHolmberg and @JoeMunnsHK about an investment. At first, it looked like a toy and an extremely niche market, so we were skeptical about its potential to become an asymmetric, venture-like outcome. But after a lengthy DD process and many conversations with a deeply passionate team, it became clear: the market is much larger than it seems, the expansion opportunities are endless, and the demand for a solution like this is real. So we decided to invest and became one of the very few VCs backing them, alongside our friends at @BigBrainVC, who introduced us in the first place. So shoutout to @SOLBigBrain and team. We promised to help bring more investors from our network on board. We introduced Collector to 40–50 other VCs, and only a dozen even took a meeting. Every single one of them passed. Most founders would’ve been crushed, feeling invalidated. But not Tuom and Joe. Their passion for cards kept them going. They knew the market wanted this, so they had no choice but to deliver. They started grinding harder than ever, with minimal funds, barely paying themselves a salary. And then came up with the Gacha machine, which was the beginning of their breakout. It gave crypto degens the chance to collect real-world Pokémon RWAs in a gamified, randomized, and crypto-native way. Exactly what the market didn’t know it needed - and instantly got addicted to. From there, the community grew organically. Adoption and volume snowballed. People tried it, loved it, and kept coming back. Word of mouth did the rest. Once again, the cabals and trenchers proved to be the real smart money, while the so-called tIeR oNe vCs missed out on a highly asymmetric winner. I couldn’t be more excited about Collector’s success, for several reasons: 1) The team. I’ve worked with them for almost 2 years now, and I can confidently vouch that money is not their main driver. Their motivation is pure passion for the product, and I expect them to work on this as long as it’s even remotely possible. They deserve this more than anyone else. 2) It’s all organic. They haven’t spent a single $ on marketing. No paid shills, no wash trading, no shady market makers. Just a great product and a strong community. 3) The market finally starts rewarding what should be rewarded. A fair and transparent $CARDS public sale via @metaplex. A DEX-only launch. A genuine consumer product and exciting on-chain use case, not another useless shiny L1. 4) Real backing, real traction. A token backed by a multi-million dollar RWA treasury of Pokémon cards, with hypergrowth in real, recurring revenue. We need more teams like this, building what they truly believe in, not what the majority of money driven mid-curvers expect them to. Hopefully this story inspires more founders to bring real consumer use cases on-chain. We need more success stories like Collector.

Let's give up for @Collector_Crypt , the coolest project ever dev'd on @solana , launching $CARDS today on the amazing @metaplex. and for @TuomHolmberg , the hardest-working CEO in the crypto industry and to CIC @JoeMunnsHK . Good luck and Godspeed fellas🚀🤘 $SOL $PUMP $CARDS
