So proud of the whole team for this release, excited for whats to come 🌀

@solvingfrank War hasn’t started without a frank shitpost

@cultured @tether Congrats

We are excited to announce that @tether, the largest stablecoin company in the world, is making a strategic investment of $200M into Whop, valuing us at $1.6B. Our partnership with Tether marks a major step in building the world's largest internet market. Tether is committed to enabling everyone in the world to participate in the new internet economy. The way humans work and create value is changing fast. The world needs both an open internet market giving people a platform to conduct business, as well as a transparent payments network. Tether and Whop together will work to bring a sustainable income to billions of people throughout the world. There is enormous opportunity when you combine Tether’s global scale and wallet technology with Whop’s community of next generation entrepreneurs. My co-founders and I met as teenagers on the internet selling software. We first launched Whop as a way for us to sell our own software to people in Facebook and Discord forums. Prior to Whop, the place we found customers was different from the place we collected payments, different from the place we talked to customers, and there wasn’t a central place to “do business” on the internet. In partnership with Tether, we will be scaling infrastructure in real-time for new business models as they emerge across the globe. The job is just getting started. 🚀

It's insane that these sponsored google result based phishing attacks still exist in 2026 @Uniswap

@marcrandolph "Money you haven't spent buys something intangible but valuable: freedom, independence, and being able to spend time in your own way" This is from the art of spending money, I think it's spot on.

@tomhfh What happens when the british and the french work together

When I was born you could fly from London to New York in just three hours. It's utterly absurd that today, despite monumental technological advancement over the last three decades, you can't.

@shivnull Happy holidays!

Happy Holidays from us

@mert The amount of fud you're giving London is crazy. It just requires awareness of your surroundings to be safe (like every other major city besides the UAE)

@KeithGrossman After the same game is played for so long, bad actors learn how to play the game to maximise extraction. New ways to monetise attention will follow, each time they will improve in preventing max extractors. Still early.

Today, meme coins now make up less than 15% of daily volume on Solana DEXs and the popular “hot take” is that the meme coin era is over.
 That take is lazy and wrong.
 It is wrong because it assumes meme coins were only ever about jokes, luck or “financial nihilism.” They were not. Meme coins were the first large-scale experiment in turning attention itself into a permissionless, tradeable asset. This market exists for a simple reason: blockchains made it trivial for anyone to create, authenticate and exchange digital value without permission. Once that door opened, it was inevitable that attention - the most valuable resource in the Internet age - would be next. We already live in an attention-based society. What most people underestimate is how large the attention economy has become. Culture, memes, narratives and identity now move markets faster than balance sheets ever could. Before crypto, attention could only be monetized by platforms, brands and a small group of influencers. Everyone else generated value and gave it away for free. Likes, trends, inside jokes and communities created massive economic value but almost none of that value flowed back to participants. Meme coins broke that model. They democratized the financialization of attention. They turned social consensus into something liquid. They gave communities a way to express belief, momentum and identity as a market.  What looks irrational through a traditional finance lens is perfectly coherent through a cultural one. This is why the Solana volume stat is misleading. Yes, meme coin volume is down. That is real. But the conclusion people draw from it is backward. What is declining is not attention monetization rather it is a specific, exhausted implementation of it. And, we have seen this pattern before with early social platforms. The first wave of social media was loud, chaotic and extractive. Engagement farming, spam, vanity metrics and shallow incentives dominated. Users burned out, growth plateaued and critics declared the model broken. What actually happened following this "death" was evolution: the mechanism survived while its noisiest expressions of it were removed. Meme coins are entering the same phase. This is not a rejection of attention-based markets. It is what happens when friction drops to zero and extraction overwhelms “signal.” Volume falls, participants burn out and the market evolves. And here is the part most people are missing: attention markets never come back looking the same! The next version will not look like today’s meme coins. It may not even be called a meme coin. It will reward sustained contribution, coordination and cultural signal; not just speed and spectacle. However, the bigger point is that this shift is irreversible. Individuals will increasingly capture value from the attention they generate and coordinate with one another directly. Platforms, brands and influencers do not disappear either but their monopoly on monetization does. The meme coin era is not over. It just stopped being loud.

@hidden_999 Omg no way you guys called early checkout zoom too, I named it zoom on mirage from the unreleased uzi song😂

Yes, early checkout was really a thing 😬 If you remember well, that store was locking PIDs before a release but not only - it usually loaded stock in backend around 11 PM. I tested it with bunch of users 2/3 times 30 minutes before release, then… 3/x

It’s been a wild year, from losing everything in the Palisades fire around the same time we brought in our first pre-seed. From the chaos to the clarity, I’ve never felt more aligned, more focused, or more grateful for the people around me. We’ve been building deep in the trenches with a small, relentless team refining, experimenting, pushing until it finally clicked. I can’t share the full picture yet but something special is really taking shape with @TradeInRhythm. Grateful for everyone who’s believed, supported, and kept the energy alive throughout this year. The next chapter is already in motion. 🌜 🌛
