The coming Base wave is potentially THE LAST true lucrative opportunity in crypto.
And the stars are aligning, the only reason it hasn't caught on yet is because people don't see the vision
Yet...
The $BASE token is inevitable, the question you need to be asking yourself is why you aren't prepared?
Let me breakdown the reasons it hasn't caught mainstream crypto and CT attention below, and like why you haven't even considered it yet.
#1: Major influencers/KOLs with clout are being paid generously to be on Solana.
- While this is in a variety of ways, the main comes about via things like ref links and streaming, sponsored deals ETC. In more direct ways, entire foundations pay influencers to post things too and keep it fully $SOL focused, magic eden recently is a great example.
Ultimately, it is in teams best interest to continue posturing and influence people as strongly as possible to stay in the Solana casino.
But we know that historically speaking, being a profit maxi has always been the best move, not a chain maxi.
#2: There hasn't been a massive sustained runner YET on base.
- Those 300k to 100m+ stories grab headlines and attention, they always do. It inspires builders to come build, traders to come trade, and sidelinors to feel like the goldrush is here.
We saw this during the first wave on Base with tokens like $TOSHI and $BRETT, these massive memecoins brought in a huge number of people to Base, and without any support from the foundation itself.
We are still in the desert a bit, but the current AI agent layer economy offers a glimpse into the next wave.
#3: Perception around Base is still kind of negative.
- I don't doubt that some this is because of Jesse but a GOOD amount of is it likely malicious fud. Think about this for a second, and I touched on it in the first bullet point. Large projects and foundations do NOT want Base to succeed.
Simply put, it takes money out of their pocket if people bridge off of Solana and trade on Base. Think about all the FOMO traders or Pumpfun bundle launchers. Their industry dries up if a mass migration occurs. You think they don't recognize that?
Base itself is a very clean place to trade, TXs are lightning quick and incredibly cheap. Every terminal that exists on Solana exists on Base too, the differences in trading nowadays are much thinner.
Now full circle, why is it a perfect storm brewing and the last potential major gen wealth play?
The agent layer is going to be tied to $ETH or an L2 because of their recent quantum proof roadmapping update. Have a read below, it's very important for a future in crypto we are headed to.
x.com/VitalikButerin…
At this point, my guess is Base goes L2 instead of their own L1. $BASE token will be integrated in someway, very TBD on this though, I've heard a variety of murmurs but until we have concrete info it's just rumors.
The reason I say the stars are aligning is because of the #2 bullet point I made above, and the recent $ETH quantum proofing update.
Agent economy is INEVITABLE and right now Base is on the bleeding edge of it. We are early early, and that is kinda crazy to see. We haven't seen that crazy mega runner yet, but it feels inevitable.
So why trade with an urgency now when things are still undefined?
Simply put, Base conditions with the AI agent layer are easy. The PA is less cancerous, the trades are more timed out, projects dont die after an hour. Logically we also know trading now will lead to a potentially lucrative airdrop.
What will really apply heat to Base chain where the things hindering it (#1-3 bulletins) no longer matter??
-Fully defined airdrop parameters for a $BASE token, with a TGE date.-
This will be the single biggest airdrop in history, people from every chain will scramble to trade and build up points towards their airdrop size.
Those who have followed me from Base since day 1 already will have been doing that, not days weeks or months, but years.
I see this as the portfolio maker, for some of us a 7-8 figure airdrop just because we continued trading heavily here. Longstanding brands like $TOSHI and $BRETT will catch natural bids because they are synonymous with Base as well, so even if you aren't a volume trader you will benefit if you stick to mainstay tokens here.
My final thoughts:
- The AI stuff we buy now that is REAL tech and TRULY unique will thrive too, because Base is the agent economy layer. We can hit wins onchain right now while we wait for the $BASE token. We can get wins on wins while we wait for the homerun portfolio maker, it's beautiful.
What I am laying out for you all is a potential retirement route, but main question is always the same:
When..
That's the only thing I don't know. I don't know when the $BASE token will drop, I don't know when they will roll out the airdrop requirements and parameters. BUT I am very confident on everything else written here in terms of a coming migration, AI agent layer, and portfolio making airdrop being inevitable.
I cooked during the memecoin run on Base, I haven't been active trading crypto for over a year until I came back a little over a week ago. If there's one thing I have done well throughout the last half decade of crypto, it's catching narratives before the masses.
And that is my current plan, win the AI agent layer on Base, build up a basket of proven winners with good tech + holding my brand bags..
And walk off into the sunset 8 figures richer, now walk with me.
