Take note ya'll! @FX100Perp's testnet is now live! If you didn't watch the utterly brilliant video below I highly encourage you to do so :) And then join the Liquidation Game! -Up to 100x leverage -15 minutes of liquidation protection -Location: Base -Objective: Survive the volatility and profit! As background, @FX100Perp is the new project from the absolute gigabrain crew at @protocol_fx... The liquidation protection that FX100 is pioneering is based off the prior advancements the team made via their work on @protocol_fx and its architecture, and is a first of its kind in on-chain crypto. @protocol_fx continues to absolutely kill it, with TVL and revenue and $fxUSD supply surging over recent months, and @FX100Perp will be a 'sister protocol' to it, so to speak, focusing specifically on high-leverage trading with the aforementioned liquidation protection. I've been working with @protocol_fx over the last year and own a ton of $FXN, so I am very bias (will also flip the partnership tab on this), but I personally think this is the most exciting launch in all of defi in 2026... These dudes are the absolute apex of everything we value crypto for... They are insanely smart, relentless in experimenting and iterating and shipping, idealistic, high-integrity, and passionate exemplars of the OG Etherean ethos of decentralization and permissionlessness and all the other qualities that make crypto an improvement over the legacy tradfi system... And most of all the product they have created is just ridiculously valuable to defi users and traders. For comparison, you could trade binary outcomes on the 15 min $BTC chart on Polymarket right now at max 2x leverage for a capped gain... whereas with FX100 you can do the same via the 15 minute liquidation protection at up to 100x leverage with uncapped upside... Its really insanely cool and exactly the type of thing that originally made me fall in love with defi and go down the rabbit hole on all this stuff back in the day :) Will link to more info below!

I fixed my dopamine problem with a 5 minute routine. Two rules are essential before I touch my phone. Working at the intersection of AI and crypto will wreck your baseline if you let it. Phone already open before both feet hit the floor. Three feeds pulling at once, before I've done anything that I actually have to do that day. Rule one: mind before media. Rule two: intention before interruption. Nothing touches a screen until both are done. The routine itself is eight steps, five minutes total. Step 1: Center Three breaths. How do I want to show up today: present, focused, generous, calm. Naming it already changes the day. Step 2: Orient Progress over perfection. Listen more than I speak. Protect my attention like it's capital, because it is. Curiosity over certainty. Step 3: Identity Who do I need to become today. Someone who gives value before asking for anything. Actions follow identity, not the reverse. Step 4: Execute Smallest possible action. Earn the day through effort, not intensity. Small steps remove the resistance big plans create. Step 5: Reflect Turn the experience into something usable. What did yesterday actually teach me. Unreflected experience evaporates. Step 6: Integrate Why does the tiny action matter. Who becomes possible if I repeat it every day. Tie it to something I actually value, or it won't stick. Step 7: Evidence Look for proof of what's right. Moments of courage, chances to grow, something beautiful. The feeds already show you what's wrong, all day, for free. Step 8: Evolve If I repeated today 365 times, who would I become. Yield compounds, we know that in crypto :) Five minutes before the first notification. That's the whole routine.

The irony right now is as retail's checked out, Wall Street has rapidly moved onchain, specifically onto Ethereum. The biggest institutional bull run ever. Time to lock in! 👊 "We are seeing the largest institutional bull run in the history of digital assets at the same time that retail investors are checking out and tuning out and their sentiment is abysmal. And that is a big bullish divergence, but it is also a troubling and worrisome gulf to me because I think that if people are not in the trenches chasing memecoins on Solana or some bright shiny object and getting filthy rich, they have a tendency to look elsewhere for the next thing that's gonna, you know, pump this week as opposed to recognizing the huge amount of value and the fundamental adoption that's happening in this space and allocating patiently and allowing the market to come to them... They're going to onboard trillions of dollars of capital in various ways, and it's gonna take time to roll all of this out, but it's not slowing down. The genie's not going back in the bottle. and that's the opportunity here. You're already seeing Ethereum leading on adoption across all of these things, across tokenization, across stablecoins, across all these things. The usage of Ethereum keeps making new highs, Ethereum keeps innovating and adapting and unlocking new forms of applications and activities and innovations that weren't possible before. We're gonna see things like high frequency DeFi and agentic commerce and all these things, right? So yeah, the long winded answer, but yeah, it's the institutions get it, they've got it, and they're they're they're coming for it." -@BitcoinJesusETH Full @Edge_Pod on Spotify:

I have legit made so many interesting mutuals from my time on X, here’s some of the mutuals (frens) I’d love to see write a book about their lives so I can read it: > @rektdiomedes > @crypto_linn > @phtevenstrong > @Grantblocmates > @CryptoJonesRC > @hoeflator > @eptwts > @patfscott > @jedifractal > @zerototom > @schizoxbt > @Stoiiic > @inversebrah > @DefiIgnas + many more. to kick off this positivity chain, I’d like you to tag one or three mutual friends you’d love to read a book written about their lives.

Affirm: I do not care what the gerontocracy does with the rates of interest. I will ascend. Get jacked and tan. Reject the humiliation rituals. Build wealth and legacy. And make my life a symbolic repudiation of this entire cursed boomer hellscape 💪

syrupUSDG is rocking in robinhoodchain with 5.0% apy and $220M AUM -Maple provides credit backed returns -Paxos provides regulated issuance -Steakhouse curates the vault -Morpho provides the vault infrastructure, and Robinhood chain brings distribution to millions of users

Have mostly talked about @protocol_fx in terms of the overall project and why I am so bullish on it and why I am accumulating as much $FXN as humanly possible... HOWEVER, important reminder that you can also earn exquisite yields via their platform as well :) In this regard, fxSAVE is currently at 8.83% APY, with $55M already earning... (also delta-neutral with no lockup or etc, you can withdraw anytime) A beautiful yield-maxxing opportunity to say the least :) [note: very proud to work with the team in various capacities so flipping 'partnership' tag on this!] Will link to more info below!

Take note ya'll! Maple Finance co-founder @syrupsid did a fantastic interview earlier this week with @BitcoinJesusETH from Milk Road :) In it he discussed a multitude of things, including: - Where we sit cycle-wise in crypto right now - The macro backdrop and how big IPO's and AI-excitement are taking attention off of the crypto space - How crypto today is somewhat similar to the years the AI community spent slogging along in the 2017-2023 era before things really got going - How Maple has been able to generate so much success recently despite crypto's overall goblintownnery - The new MIP-021 Buyback Mechanism that was just voted in - What will happen to $SYRUP tokens that are bought back under it - Maple's new partnership with Robinhood, $syrupUSDG, and why it is all so exciting - The above as an example of what one might call 'Maple Embed', and why this is so bullish from a future growth perspective - All of Maple's other new partnerships and bullish announcements and etc - Outlook for crypto going forward - Outlook for Maple going forward (editor's note: extremely bullish 💪) - And tons of additional fascinating stuff! @BitcoinJesusETH from @milkroaddaily is an excellent interviewer and this ended up being a total banger of an video imho... But yeah, as always, I own tons of $SYRUP and am insanely bullish on @maplefinance and work with the team, so will flip the 'partnership' switch on this... And then will also include some bullish additional stuff in the tweets below :) And will end with a quote from Sid from the below clip: "Traction is actually fantastic... Stablecoin adoption is at an all-time high... The largest asset managers in the world are talking about tokenization... And prices are lagging that level of adoption... But... The people who are building at the moment- who are ignoring the negative sentiment and the dissatisfaction around prices- are gonna win, when we have this resurgence, and hit the tipping point on the s-curve where we go exponential..."

Crypto + Macro Stuff I'm Looking At Today ... - Iran tensions back up - Oil at $86.97 - $QQQ down but still over $700 - $ETH outperforming $BTC over last month, up 11% vs 2.5%, respectively - Robinhood Chain has apparently flipped Base in active wallets (h/t my bro @Flowslikeosmo - make sure to give him a follow!) - Bitcoin and gold remain the two worst-performing major assets this year - Crypto Fear & Greed Index up into the 30's now though interestingly - Lots of speculation re: Clarity Act passing soon, with Bessent saying lawmakers are "at the 1 yard line" in regards to passing it - ie about to do so, for you non American football enjoyers ) - According to Certik there were 52 verified wrench attacks in Q1 and Q2 of this year, resulting in $124.1 million in losses - Morpho launching 'Midnight', their new fixed rate lending protocol - Mantle turns 3 years old seeing lots of success with its RWA efforts - Telegram is unveiling a new non-custodial wallet - Movement Labs bankruptcy is generating all sorts of contentious debate - Derive launching its new V3 - noble_xyz is shutting down (h/t my bro @flb_xyz - make sure to give him a follow!) - Variational seems to still be #1# prospective airdrop right now - Some smaller airdrop opportunities I'm seeing lots of smart folks post about include: arcus_xyz, perpltrade, and risextrade - Balaji announces a new Network School campus in Kazakhstan (apparently Malaysia revoked its license or something?) - In related meanderings... I'm insanely bullish on Central Asia over the next 10-20 years... think Kazakhstan and a lot of similar countries are going to do exceptionally well... - US real estate continues to suffer... especially vacation rental folks, multifamily syndicators, self-storage syndicators, etc - And of course office real estate is totally dead, but that is more for idiosyncratic reasons (rise of remote work and online economy) vs the macro stuff - US 10 year Treasury yields spiking like crazy, now up to 4.663% Conclusion Re: the above, I do not think Warsh and Bessent and Trump can let the 10 year stay this high for very long... Whether via ratcheting Iran stuff back down or else via Treasury shenanigannery or else via Fed doing something, in one way or another they gotta get down closer to 4% or we'll start seeing dysfunction... The fact that stocks and crypto are both doing as well as they are given how high long-duration bond yields are suggests to me they are really coiled to spring higher... So yeah... quite bullish on net for next few months, but as always- markets are very much political these days, so it will really depend on Trump/Warsh/Bessent... Either way though keep getting after it my dear anon 💪 Reject the bear'ism. Reject the blackpills. To quote the great Jack London: “A man without courage is to me the most despicable thing under the sun, a travesty on the whole scheme of creation...”

5 Ways I've Watched People Build Wealth (Ethically) In Crypto: 1) Being super early Obviously this one is hard to replicate... you had to be on Silk Road in 2011 with hundreds of spare $BTC lying around... or got into $ETH right at the start... etc... HOWEVER we see the same thing on a more moderate scale over and over... Last cycle there were projects like $OHM and DFK you could have been early too... And various 2024-2025 coins as well... 2) Catching a bear market >>> bull market trend My buddy @alpha_pls did this perfectly with $SOL in 2022, going hard in at like $8 or whatever it was in the depths of the bear market... 3) Airdrops Whether airdrops in general, like good ol' CC2Ventures... Or a singular airdrop, like the my man @reisnertobias with $HYPE :) Takes hard work and conviction but is still one of the best strategies imo... 4) Getting really good at the BD + marketing side of CT and providing value to projects in this regard Lots of my friends have done this... @crypto_linn as a perfect example... @JiraiyaReal with TailoredWeb3... etc... 5) Building something legitimately valuable The Phantom guys are a perfect example of this... Or Cobie selling Echo to Coinbase... Or many other similar stories as well... ... But yeah, still think any of these work in 2026... Most people have checked out and are not paying attention to the market... But right now as we speak there is some major coin that is going to 100x over the next 2 years... There's some low-key airdrop that is going to be the next $HYPE... And some new anon with 100 followers who is going to be a major CT account next cycle... Never feels like it in the depths of the bear market... But happens over and over again once conditions turn :)
