irony is everything about today’s crypto landscape is more transparent than the past that’s what old heads are most upset about: -bonding curve launch vs. private round -every txn onchain vs. dumping on CEX -opportunities appear randomly vs. pre-planned launches after years of larping there isn’t a chance in the world they could make money in public so they resort to saying it’s easy or complete scam “yeah just farm ur followers” as if there’s any logic to this argument if broke people lose money following someone, they run out of money. it’s funny seeing the reaction to the plumber stuff, just max cope in 4k i stopped trading memecoins for almost all of 2026, only started again because ansem’s coin created a wealth event that has made conditions exciting again trading onchain is lame. it’s not sexy. it’s gay to track another grown man’s twitter. but the money is real and if you think only insiders win then explain CashCat or Ansem or Asteroid or MarsCoin or Moltbook or Ore or Binance Life or Aster or whatever the fuck else the dozens of multi 6-7 figure spots there have been over last year but it is a game just like any other meta in crypto. like most gambling games, most people lose, few people win hard and the house always wins. that’s just how it goes. the moral grandstanding is truly retarded and rooted in the fact that the conditions to make money in crypto today are in fact NOT easy. they couldn’t if they tried, so they won’t.

General Catalyst just co-led a $31.5 million seed round into a blatant rip-off of my company, Kled. (skip to 40 seconds if you want to skip context) I would typically not speak on things like this, but this level of blatant copycatting is egregious and completely unacceptable, and needs to be made an example of. This is one of hundreds of YC startups who have conducted this disgusting behavior. Unimaginative slop that continues to get rewarded due to nepotism.

i think we will see crypto & ai continue to cross over all the integrations bnkr is making slot into exactly what i see in web2, shows to me they’re ahead of the curve >first movers on claude code wave >first movers on clawdbot integration >fees accrue in tokens & eth (aligned devs) >now building rails for onchain fees direct to pay for API looked in crypto for a while for team that can bridge the gap between web2 ai & crypto, this is my bet ideally in a few weeks, every new viral app in web2 makes a bnkr & bnkr team keeps making deeper integrations with agentic workflows fact that it’s already had 8 fig runner almost everyday, and a 9 fig runner, and it’s sitting below 9 figs itself has more to do with how little money is in the pool right now but i think risk goes on and this goes out of the park nfa, godspeed

imagine thinking the founder doing hand-to-hand sales for the apps on his chain is bearish crypto mfers are literally brain damaged guy is a billionaire, has nothing to prove, and still goes to bat every single day toly is one of a kind
