$10,000 USDC for the best thing you can build with Nansen data. The Meridian Buildathon is now live! Build an agent, game, trading tool, visualization, or something completely unexpected. And while the buildathon is live, API credit purchases get 2x credits. Start building:

Im going to be pairing a memecoin with Microsoft (since they own Blizzard) All trading fees go towards paying for holder subs to WoW, guild buffs and buybacks Guild is gatekept by a minimum held amount of $WoW tokens (maybe even an NFT for membership) There will be PvP tournaments where users can bet on players in $WoW tokens as well as prizes for best performing guild members

I think ppl don’t appreciate how good this advice is I traded the entire AI meme meta in 24’ the entire NFT meta in 21’ and even this cycles RH stock pair meta Common denominator of me not making life changing money is diversifying into multiple “winners” and rotating liquidity rather than blasting all of my money into my one single conviction I’ve only ever lost small and won small Taking trading notes for myself the rest of the cycle. There’s always opportunity here, so can’t beat yourself up for missing them often.

very excited to introduce my latest vibecoded app: id8 • a canvas for your thesis onchain trenching is the obvious meta right now. so i built a tool for traders that lets you: • name a token or narrative and see onchain data • present your play, then get interrogated on it • see who's accumulating and who's selling • rule on your own assumption and lock the invalidation before you size • book the play to a desk that watches your invalidation every time you come back it never writes the trade. the thesis stays yours. built on the @nansen_ai api for the buildathon. try it now →

my friends at @nansen_ai asked me to vibe code w/ their api so i built a smart money shell terminal track smart wallet buys, sells, pnl and more across solana robinhood base eth bsc trenching like its 1994 free for now:

Happy to formally announce I've joined @nansen_ai as the new Head of Marketing. The New Game of Trading: Vision + Thesis With the world becoming increasingly more risk on and speculating on assets continue to gain momentum (sports gambling, prediction markets, options and perps, collectibles etc), I believe building for that future, and equipping users with exceptional tools, data, and digital experiences is where i'll be putting my focus. The game of trading traditionally has been siloed between the people with edge, and ones without. As those lines begin to blur and the tools people now use become more advanced, there's a clear sign on where the puck is moving. Two things become clear: 1. The Rise of Social Trading - In a progressively digital world, where AI commoditizes content and the amount of content aggressively expands (dead internet theory), status and social equity are becoming more valuable than ever. A trading platform that can grow a user's PnL as well as their social equity, credibility and community will win. This also increasingly spreads organic reach, distribution and a sticky digital experience for this new trading paradigm. The current state of social trading allows for the top <1% to win and the other 99% to lose. Part of their edge is social equity, and it's not evenly distributed. Users need additional tools & signal to gain edge. 2. Edge w/ Data & AI - The moat between the haves and have nots is curated data. I believe more traders are not only becoming more quantitative but also increasingly qualitative at the same time. Qualitative signal (social): - Narrative shifts - Public figures bull/bear posting on social media - Pop culture/social trends Quantitative signal (data): - Onchain data - AI trading bots - Wallet tracking Where those two meet is where I think we can win. Whatever your preconceptions are about the current iteration of Nansen's trading platform, I can assure you, things are going to change very quickly... More on that soon. Excited to build something incredible.

After testing tons of different "Social trading" platforms, one issue is pretty clear: There needs to be some sort of onchain/offchain reputation score. I've noticed the more I trade, the more I get a good idea of which traders to avoid being in a coin with. There's a cohort of maybe 10-20 traders I never want to buy into, i'm sure tons feel the same.

No glaze but @notthreadguy podcast is one of the few podcasts about finance, tech and culture I actually find entertaining More than MTS or TBPN You can see how much he’s leveled up his knowledge over the last year so he can ask genuinely good questions and give good personal takes Wish I could long @counterpartytv
