    If you told me 6 months ago that Zcash would start absorbing Bitcoin’s original use-case, I’d have laughed. Today, I’m not so sure... In fact, I believe a strong case can be made that BTC's original cypherpunk vision has been hijacked. Not just because it has underperformed

    Did you know that SBF bought 56.27 million shares of $HOOD in 2022 for an average of $11.52 per share? That's $648 million for ~7.6% stake in the company. Fast forward to today: $HOOD is trading at $82.18 per share. If SBF still owned those shares, they'd be worth $4.6 BILLION.

    $PUMP: The Easiest Altcoin to Underwrite Heading Into a Bullish Q4
    Right now everyone is chasing the nth perp DEX, aping into any shitcoin CZ engages with, or chasing the flavor of the day via perps. These are the current metas. And yet, even still, money has flowed...

    berachain pulled in $3.5B TVL with points and incentives — and is now bleeding capital, users, and doing <$10k/day in revenue. hyperliquid’s L1 just crossed $1B TVL without grants, ecosystem farming, or forced liquidity games. no bribes — just reflexive flow from the most

    Tomorrow $XPL goes live with almost poetic timing (Tether raising $20B at a $500B valuation, lots of onchain runners, and speculative capital apeing into new launches despite a shaky broader market.) I think Plasma has a chance to be a massive cook. Let me break down why I

    In hindsight, exchanges not listing $HYPE backfired spectacularly. By forcing users to bridge and actually use Hyperliquid for exposure, they created a reflexive loop where: → Users realized the product is genuinely better than CEX and started using it beyond getting $HYPE

    While everyone's focused on $HYPE, a lesser-known protocol has quietly processed $1B+ in volume. Meet @unitxyz: the tokenization layer behind Hyperliquid's native BTC/ETH spot markets, capturing 50% of fees and positioned for crypto's next major token launch.🧵

    Did you know SBF got the rights to 888 million $SUI tokens for just $1 million? It was a side-deal to a larger $101M investment, all confirmed in court docs. Fast forward to today: $SUI is trading at ~$4.04 per token. That side position alone would be worth $3.59 BILLION. But
