There’s an endless flood of shitposts claiming that crypto is dead. In reality, this is just another very typical cycle 🔄 Every cycle looks terminal when you’re living inside it. What most people fail to notice is that real infrastructure is still being built, even in the worst market conditions. This cycle alone, we’ve already seen genuinely important innovations: - Platforms like Hyperliquid and Polymarket have turned global, permissionless gambling and speculation into reality — giving access to offshore derivatives and prediction markets that are otherwise heavily restricted in the US and EU. - At the same time, the rise of TradFi perps on CEXs and HIP3 is quietly expanding access to global financial assets. Third World People in regions where opening a brokerage account is nearly impossible can now trade the same companies that used to be reserved for developed markets. Few understand this opens a portal to billions of users. Crypto isn’t shrinking as it’s eating market shares from two Trillion-Dollar territory : TradFi and online casinos. The number of people who can gain exposure to speculative markets keeps increasing. When sentiment flips, liquidity will come back. Meanwhile, the purge is finally happening. Shitty VC coins, useless stupid “governance tokens”, dead af protocols with no cash flow. They’re not coming back. They just go down — and that’s healthy. Valuations are compressing toward levels that are actually sustainable. Protocols with real revenue are starting to be essential and gain attention from entire market. This isn’t the end of crypto. It’s the part of the cycle where weak hands, weak narratives, and weak balance sheets get wiped out. Fasten your seatbelt. Survive. And be ready for the next great cycle of gambling and speculation. Because it always comes back.

@dwlz That spike may look small, but it's not small if you think of it in terms of time. If you invested at the peak, it would be 15 years before you were whole again, maybe 20 if you adjust for inflation.

My Chinese friend got liquidated for $720k on Hyperliquid hedging his $XPL shares Price wicked to 1.8 on Hyperliquid and it’s pretty insane that Hyperliquid pre-market perps use current perp price as mark price for premarket perps. If so, theoretically anyone can manipulate price in seconds interval and target hedgers👀 If you don’t patch this mechanism , next time someone else will do it again. Hyperliquidated.

It’s not crypto related, but I shorted $100k worth of $CRWV at 146 because: 1. The stock itself is over valued, the company doesn’t worth $70B 2. Circle IPO is coming and should attract attention of market, making degen traders dump some of their CRWV I can comfortably hold this position for couple months, and I can accept to lose it all. Stop loss at $220 so come and get me

Pricing of small marketcap coins is pretty simple, you don’t need a Stanford degree to figure it out: - Have Binance perp = $10m basic manipulation value - memecoin = $3m basic exit liquidity value over retails - have coinbase spot = $5m basic liquidity value from USA market - have Upbit KRW spot = $10m basic liquidity value from Korean apes So if a coin is a memecoin and have Binance perp, its intrinsic value = ~$13m If it’s a coin with Coinbase spot + Upbit KRW spot + binance perp, its intrinsic value is $25m Buy when it falls below its intrinsic value, sell when some cabal starts the run.

Exited it half of it at 0.0147 Right now it’s price is at its fair value, the old mm has exited obviously and it’s gonna take a long time for a new market manipulator to accumulate most of the chips&run it again. I don’t wanna wait for it. I’ll still buy it if it dip to/below 0.012 again to help reducing the circulating spot on the market tho.

- I will dump on you if you follow the trade, so don’t follow my trade. You risk of been my exit liquidity - I’m here to share the narrative of why I’m doing this trade - Trading Hippo is highly volatile and I’m using a size that is small compared to my networth - My entry average is 0.0045 and I plan to hold for a while Words to the Hippo cabal: Please pump my bag using the event, thank you

Longed HIPPO with size. Its current market cap is $50m. 1/5 of MOODENG Binance is sending a pretty clear signal here that it wanna both hippos compete for official listing. Previously MOODENG did 2x after the Binance Alpha listing ( It gives the market some narrative to chase) Disadvantage of Hippo is that it doesn’t have that many CEX listings and also no one uses Sui, the liquidity&participant of its price action speculation is limited. Sending this tweet to work for my bag.

Bought back had (90k) after the possible memecoin time bomb is defused. To me this trade is also about training myself not to be a paper hand and study this 9 figs kigga @definalist to be able to mentally feels good after buy already pumped 10x coin and ride the trend.
