Added a few million more $hookr and prob not stopping there. Why? been thru many cycles. a month or 2 ago, i would not be buying here, i would be waiting till $3-5m after a pump to $20m to bid (if i liked it). Well, this isn't a month or 2 ago, and it certainly aint 6 months to a year ago. We don't have @vladtenev out here lifting the trenches, elevating crypto as a whole, sparking a new fire out here - making this shit enjoyable again. Everything is screaming LOWER. it looks obvious. I don't think it is this time. If i am wrong, great, i'll watch my portfolio numba go down for a bit longer while my hookr numba go up. But i do think we continue much much higher on weekly timeframe before any type of prolonged correction or sideways consolidation. (FYI, I don't know shit, like all of you.) Now, DeFi is about to see a technological revolution with the adoption and creative implementation of V4 hooks. @Uniswap @haydenzadams will continue to push the narrative, non-stop. Barely anyone knows what hooks are, most in crypto have heard of them but have no basic understanding, normies are furking clueless. Hooks will be the secret sauce, the gears working together so to speak, powering all the unicorn protocols that do not exist OR do exist (and revitalized). Specialist devs can market their hooks and earn royalties based on usage - protocols can pick and choose the best to use collectively. Not talking these early, experimental, solo hook, simple jack jawns. I'm talking giga brained legos that none of us will truly understand. And here's the part nobody is pricing yet...those legos gotta live somewhere. Someone gotta be the shelf. The place devs publish to, protocols shop from, where it all gets curated and versioned and bonded so you ain't arming some random unaudited jawn into your swap path holding real money. That layer does not exist right now. Not on any chain. @hookrfun is building it. On the chain Vlad is personally out here dragging into relevance. @NodarJ is a seasoned vet who been there, done it. He understand and has found this hole in the market. And now has every reason to execute. Can someone else go head to head with him? Yes, but good luck going against a doxxed & humble, calm & collected dev that created @zapper_fi, knows Hayden, raised around $15m in series A funding from the likes of Mark Cuban and others... catch my drift? @AgentChud spoke about this, doxxed devs with a good track record are going to be major key this cycle. You can literally create a def protocol by typing into Fable "yo build me some sick shit so i can scam some money from these bishes" and it would probably build you a working protocol with a website header that says "YOU CANT LOSE ANY MONEY"... and peeps gonna ape, send it to millions, and lose bigly. That's the whole trade for me. I'm not buying a a launchpad coin.. I'm buying the registry for a primitive that 99% of crypto can't even define yet, on the one chain with the most motivated backer in the space. Same lesson every cycle. The money ain't in the app that wins. It's in the layer every app has to touch. Nodar also spoke on @MCGlive and @lateniteonchain, about their focus in collaborating over competing with launchpads, like the good ol days in 2020 - when eveyrone was working together to push this shih forward. It is GIGA EARLY for Hookr. There are so many catalysts ahead, you don't even realize my bro. I'd be terrified to be sidelined on what may be the most important project for the future of crypto. B I L L I ON S is ze target. 🪝UP - ☕️

One part of $Hookr I still don’t think people fully appreciate: You don’t necessarily have to launch the next successful token to win on the platform. You can build the infrastructure other tokens and assets actually want to use. A developer can create a useful hook, publish it to the Hookr marketplace and other projects can reuse that logic in their own markets. If that hook generates eligible fees, the original creator can earn from its continued use. Now take that model beyond new token launches. Imagine tokenized stocks like AAPL, NVDA, RWAs, ETH or BTC becoming programmable assets that can plug into lending, collateral markets, liquidity strategies, automated yield, custom fee logic and entirely new market structures. Instead of AAPL simply sitting in a wallet tracking the stock price, builders could potentially create entirely new ways for that asset to interact onchain. So then the interesting part is that builders don’t necessarily need to launch another token to monetize what they create. I feel like the reduction in shitters will substantially shrink and a whole new market and revenue stream will open up for giga brained devs & creators. Build a valuable hook. Publish it on the open market. Let other markets & tokens use it. Earn as that financial logic gets adopted. That creates a pretty interesting flywheel: More builders → more hooks → more strategies → more diverse markets → more assets finding reasons to use Hookr. It’s almost an App Store for programmable financial logic. And if tokenized stocks and RWAs become as large as people expect, the real opportunity isn’t simply getting those assets onchain it’s building the marketplace for everything those assets can do once they’re there. ATHs are nice but…. I still think we’re very early in understanding what $HOOKR could actually become. Lock in & don’t fade novel tech. The market doesn’t know how to price it. DeFi 2.0 is coming & personally I think @Hookrfun will be the backbone/middle ware tech that helps it along. 🪝

I’m a retired brain surgeon and I wanna tell you why you feel like life is passing by. I just need one minute to explain this to you so hang in there. Repetitive daily routines stop the brain from recording clear detailed memories. When every day looks the same, your brain does not track time the same as a clock does. It tracks change. If nothing new happens then days, months, and years start to blur together. This is know as Time compression. When life lacks variety, your brain compresses past days together, making it feel like time is sped up. To stop feeling like life is passing you by, add new experiences to your life. Break routine habits, like changing your daily home routine, taking a different route to work, or trying a new hobby. Schedule small trips or plan new adventures so your days do not blend together. Practice mindfulness by staying fully focused on what you are doing right now and not trying to race off to the next task. Keep a journal and write down happy memories or memorable parts of the day before you go to sleep. Take deep, calm breaths when you feel anxious or rushed to return your focus to the moment. You can and you will retrain your brain to not feel like life is passing you by by following these few simple measures.

market is already showing its hand and it's an obvious one; - invest in majors [BTC/ETH] - own the casinos with revenue [HYPE/PUMP] - play in the casinos [perps/memes] distribution depends on your size leave the overvalued VC "future of finance" scams in 2021 where they belong

>Market pulls back to $76k >"I just need a pullback to $74k so I can buy before it goes to $100k" >Never hits, miss entry by a couple % I never understand why people that think the market will go up a lot always hope for deep pullbacks The reason you think the market will go up is because it is strong, why are you then in turn hoping for it to show weakness before you buy it? Instead you should hope it locks people out by not giving pullbacks to bid, which in turn will provide buying pressure into much higher levels

this is how i trade. what i do is scalping attention. that is my job. believing in smth is not my job. mapping out possibilities of exchange listings, crime team twaps or industry leaders liking tweets is not my job. my work is gauging if smth is capable of achieving a certain attention threshold. if the verdict is yes and said attention threshold is not reached yet, i am buying. when the attention threshold is reached i am selling. that does not involve speculating if peak attention is reached. example is my $AI trade today. i bought when there was not much talk about it yesterday and i sold when half the timeline talked about it today. the attention threshold is reached. my work is done. my edge is exhausted. can it go much higher from here? absolutely. one Vlad twitter interaction will send it flying, but i have no edge in mapping out possibilities of such an event occurring. that is not my job. i am not in the business of dreaming and i am not in the business of gauging ceilings. i am in the business of scalping attention. and by doing this it is only natural that from time to time i will sell an asset that does many multiples after my exit. and that is totally fine. i do not feel pain about it anymore(i did in the past, and it is a hard habit to get rid off). i acknowledge that selling some runners too early is part of my job. it is part of the contract i signed and it is necessary and crucial for the environment where i can do my job to exist in the first place. if dreamers would not be rewarded from time to time there would be nothing to scalp for me. its a symbiotic relationship. dreamers must stomach frequent roundtrips and getting their lunch eaten by scalpers in order to catch a huge multiple from time to time, and scalpers must accept selling a giga runner too early from time to time in exchange for no roundtrips. these are the contracts we signed.

as you scroll your timeline, you're going to see a lot of victory-lapping some people are genuinely deserving of kudos; some are doing so disingenuously. but it goes without saying that everyone is having a great time [or atleast pretending as if they are] it can easily set an unrealistic precedence in your mind that you need to catch every move, with maximum exposure, and without having taken a smidge of profit until the very pico-top that your portfolio should be making new ATHs because most coins are up 20% in two days, and a few coins are up 100%+ in the past month don't fall for the bait don't find yourself comparing to others it only ever ends one way. I'm going to let you in on a little secret: most people are upset. - there are some people that were caught in shorts as the move ensued - there are some that told themselves they would bid, and didn't - some actually bid, but fell victim to the chop at some point - a group of people bought and held through the chop, only to then capitulate for miniscule profit as the rally started - some bought and held for the entire rally, but with small size - and even if the trader we're referencing executed immaculately, they'd often still find a way to be discontent with their results; sulking about how obvious it was in hindsight, and how they wish they would've bet more. that last one is an inescapable truth. every time you win a trade, that is always the feeling that follows. that never really goes away, either - you just get better at dealing with it. I know the consensus is that green candles = CT is alive and loves eachother again I tend to disagree; that is mostly smoke and mirrors. when you pullback the curtains, you realize that most are actually upset - even if they don't necessarily have anything to be upset about in reality. often times, spite, pride, ego, and greed bring the worst out in people. the insufferable nature tends to multiply, not decrease. the market heals in times of despair, and it contracts viruses in manic environments. many are not having a great time, but are hiding under the guise of cheering for higher prices in order to save face/reputation. only after the market sells off again do the cracks finally begin to show most will keep up the facade in the meantime I bring this up, for the sake of this post, in hopes that you don't allow that perceived 'perfection', en masse, to become an expectation for yourself. don’t find yourself comparing to (deceitful) perfection perfection is not a standard - it's a fallacy. aim to be sufficient, and learn to be content. that will prove to be more than enough over an extended period of time *“Nobody wants to hear about getting rich over the course of a decade”* your counterparty is largely incapable of doing that. so much so, that they could [hypothetically] watch $BTC trade 700% higher over the course of three years, with the average pullback being -20% along the way, as we [again, hypothetically] watched dozens of memecoins run from $0 -> Billions based on the thesis that 'the cat pops / the dog has a hat / hot air rises', only to cope with their liquidation emails with "that was the worst bullmarket ever; it's not my fault I lost everything. the old guys traded against plumbers!" hypothetically speaking, ofcourse… ;) a whopping majority of your counterparty could watch Bitcoin go to $1Mil, cheer along way, and still manage to lose it all on the pullback to 600k. this is simply how markets work, because that's how they've always worked. it's not a CT thing; it's just a thing. remember this, deep in your core. you'll need this sensibility about you for when the mania is truly persistent. simply do your best in the meantime, because it's all you can do. thank yourself later.

ether_fi is now allowing you to borrow against your tokenized assets at 4%. Asset/stock backed credit lines for all to use. Most tools offered by private banks and wealth management are now being offered to all. The future on chain opens up so many opportunities and possibilities. Furthermore look at the landscape of new asset types being created like rwa, staking, tokenization and alike. Just picture: 1.Never selling your appreciating assets again. Hold tokenized NVIDIA, gold, ETH, T-bills and eventually real estate in one portfolio. The portfolio earns yield/staking rewards while you automatically borrow against the whole thing for everyday spending, taxes, a car or a house deposit. Your assets remain invested while the credit line continuously adjusts to your collateral. Defer Tax, profit from the appreciation. 2.Your salary becomes an autonomous wealth machine. Get paid → automatically buy a mix of tokenized equities(with div), T-bills and ETH → stake/lend the productive assets → use the resulting yield to service a credit line → spend from that credit line. Instead of “salary → checking account→ spending,” it becomes income → assets → yield → credit → spending. Buy a house without liquidating your portfolio. Imagine putting $500k of tokenized stocks, BTC, ETH, gold and private credit into one collateral account and instantly receiving the financing for a property. Eventually the house itself becomes another tokenized RWA inside the portfolio,so your collateral base expands after the purchase rather than disappears. These are simple examples but it just opens up many new products, packaged assets, yield profiles and overall allows the common people to use tools previously only accessible for the richest.

La nouvelle est passée presque totalement inaperçue dans les médias français, en raison du Mondial de foot et des incendies : l’intelligence artificielle a réussi à déchiffrer entièrement un rouleau de papyrus carbonisé d’Herculanum, aussi fragile que de la cendre de cigarette, sans le dérouler et sans même y toucher ! On y a découvert un traité philosophique sur le stoïcisme. Il a fallu des trésors d’ingéniosité et de technologie pour parvenir à ce résultat. Le rêve est donc devenu réalité : bientôt, on pourra lire en un temps record les centaines de rouleaux de cette bibliothèque calcinée par le Vésuve il y a 2000 ans, et la littérature gréco-latine s’enrichira d’autant de textes inédits, de nouvelles tragédies ou épopées peut-être. Dans cet été déprimant, voilà un vrai rayon de lumière. Vive la science !

some bear market thoughts on crypto: 1) we're in the peak depth: almost everyone is done selling - we just lack marginal buyers yet either we get capital rotation back from ai soon (q4 maybe?) or we remain flat for some time 2) fundraising is p bad rn, particularly early-stage there's no infra trade left and most crypto vcs have either: - no money - or no idea on how to fund 'products' most got burnt out due to overfunding bs infra in '23-24 which were all down only coins (so no exits) all risky capital is funding ai now as a founder: unless you've some significant traction or big pedigree, it's a waste of time to even think of fundraising 3) teams are shutting down left & right - mostly due to lack of funds or PMF which directly impacts job markets - there's some hiring on institutional side (nyc-based) but apart from that, the hiring has decreased significantly only companies with huge treasuries are able to hire and asian projects are hit the hardest from what i can see capital is a huge moat for startups for 'right to win' - for otherwise capital-starved early-stage 4) there's a huge gap in early-stage funding: best time to angel invest at a low val or even start micro-accelerators due to lack of infra money, hackathon/grants have now reduced by ~95% now earlier l1 grants/funding used to attract a significant number of early-stage teams - further driving away talent if fundraising doesn't return by q1' 27 - innovation will significantly shrink and crypto will become a 'legacy industry' 5) crypto is now just 'financial markets' - there's broadly four markets with PMF: - memecoins & spot (solana/rh) - perps (hl) - yields (eth) - prediction markets (poly) + stablecoin payments and then a long tail markets like pokémon cards etc all non-financial protocols on governance, social, proof of xyz, identity, gaming etc are now dead - they're now just a feature on speculative apps 6) everyone's either: - building an 'everything exchange' coinbase, robinhood, solana, pump, axiom, fomo, polymarket, jupiter, phantom - or packaging yield usdt, usdc, usdg, morpho, aave, kamino 7) there're only 2 types of chains left: - general community-led: eth & solana - distribution-led: base, robinhood, tempo, bsc rest all are dead or will be dead soon 8) the survived teams are incredibly product-focussed now: - better trading execution - ux/mobile focus finally, building good products and nailing distribution is the only way to win the whole game is now like building a fintech app with crypto rails ofc, speculation will always be the holy grail of financial markets and even stocks & gold now trade like crypto - everything is now a narrative trade! 9) there are some teams which are building non-crypto infra (eg. robotics/data collection/depin types) funded by crypto VCs: but we all know they're mostly a scam looking to launch high float, low fdv tokens (and will probably fail) and will abandon the tokens whenever they get some PMF and call it 'credits' (iykyk) 10) there're some incredible liquid opportunities but with teams giving up/shutting down/abondoning - it's incredibly hard to judge or filter out quality but i'd still say holding good quality liquid tokens have the best r/r a simple filter is just buy tokens which has: - good treasury - founder-led who understands distribution - upcoming sector tailwinds (happy to share my list) 11) there's only few traders left in trenches: but they're incredibly smart and they can make money in any market now many are now trading stocks and killing it - as they're the pro narrative traders safe to say: all crème layer genz traders have traded/are trading crypto this core audience is always on lookout to try out new experimentations 12) stablecoin payments: they’re p huge in the shadow economy (eg. an Indian manufacturer buying from china in USDT to escape taxes & regulation hassle) but organising a shadow market is a challenging and unsolved problem agentic payments are a huge opportunity but no PMF yet (typical coldstart problem) - all numbers pushed by base/solana are just wash volumes i'd bet on stripe/tempo (+ trad companies) to gain a lion share in regulated stablecoin payments just because of distribution 13) opportunities now lie on building: - better trading interfaces & modality (via ai, mobile) - more novel markets (eg. compute, emerging market coverage, metadao) - anything around token or memecoins (speculative mechanics) - cool fintech ideas which failed due to banking/regulations (eg. neobanks) and ofc, picks & shovels around this biggest bet: post ai, speculation and trading as a way to show conviction on anything socially will increasingly rise and crypto is the de-facto rails for any new markets 14) and yess, memecoins (internet culture coins) will come back extra-ordinarily as macro moves and capital rotates from ai it'll bring interest back to crypto and once again, sidelined VCs will be salty i still remain cautiously optimistic on broader crypto and p optimistic on crypto as 'anything market' rails 🫡

this is the single most important pivot point for Bitcoin since January 2023 reclaiming the compression proves a failed breakdown aka a deviation it officially ends the bear market as we know it and personally forces me fully flip bullish, as I did in 2023 at 19k Godspeed.

idiot edge sometimes edges appear due to other trader's stupidity i'll show you a crypto trade that is so silly you might not believe it but i promise you it's real.
