there are only 2 durable moats left that no AI model will ever replace: 1) obsession, hunger and execution. the ability to iterate and build new moats faster than the old ones get copied. 2) distribution and attention, earned through reputation, trust and even regulation. the thing that makes people choose you and stay with you over the copycats. 2) only matters if you have 1)

it’s 2026. if you’re pitching me that your onchain business is going to have a token but you’re not treating it like onchain equity I don’t even want to hear about your inevitable slow rug. onchain equity, offchain equity or gtfo.

1) DEXs eating CEX market share. 2) Aerodrome eating DEX market share. $AERO looking gud here.

there is no "crypto" anymore. there's just blockchain and tokenization as a new frontier tech sector, disrupting the entire financial system and providing the native rails for the agentic economy to thrive. the experimental phase was fun. but if you truly want to make it from here, you have to stop thinking inside the bubble and start opening your mind. if you want to find the next 100x in crypto, start looking outside of it.

Silencio.

after the dumbest people in the industry left, the smartest ones are turning the most bullish I've seen them in years. how long until you wake up?

I said this many times before, and it starts to become more obvious: the rotation from AI to crypto will be unlike anything we have seen before. majors about to 2-4x, onchain equity aka solid altcoins about to 10-100x in 2027.

Applications > infrastructure.

Love the conviction from Multicoin here, and I couldn't agree more. I genuinely see this as the window of max opportunity for crypto. or as @0x_Lucas nicely put it: we're done with the 0 to 1 moment. the 1 to 100 is what's only just ahead of us. doubling down on the industry here, so if you're building something exciting for it, we'd love to hear from you.

day 1 of $AERO becoming the leading DEX across all EVM chains.

Never have I seen more tokens that look like losers, with underlying businesses that are winning. Generational opportunity.

Collector Crypt fundamentals up and to the right

Just like every day since 12x ago

Just to give you an idea of the scale of the gross revenue that Collector has hit the last 24h, that’s $281 per second $16,875 per minute $1,012,500 per hour $24,300,000 per day $170,100,000 per week $739,100,000 per month $8,870,000,000 per year There are tons of S&P500 companies that do less. Just saying.

This might sound boring to most of you onchain degens, but it could end up being one of the most important initiatives happening in crypto right now. Blockworks is building SEC-aligned disclosure standards for tokens. and that single thing could improve the investability of this entire industry by orders of magnitude. this is exactly what institutional allocators want to see before they bring their tens of trillions onchain. no serious capital shows up without proper disclosure, compliance and trust. it's that simple. while everyone else chases the next pump, @JasonYanowitz, @MikeIppolito_ and the Blockworks team are quietly building the infrastructure that actually unlocks exactly that. it's this kind of trust building that will make them the Bloomberg of crypto over time. if you genuinely care about where this industry is going, support this and spread the word. TTFs for the win.

this is incredible. for the first time ever, JPMorgan put out an actual long-term Bitcoin forecast, and it's strong af: they expect Bitcoin to be the single best performing asset class in their entire outlook, projecting a 10% compound annual return over the next decade. that's way above US stocks (7.5%), REITs (8.2%) and gold (5.5%). at 10% a year, that puts BTC around $386k by the back end of their window. the fact that one of Bitcoin's most infamous skeptics has now turned into a long-term bull speaks volumes if you ask me.

Daily active users going parabolic for Collector Crypt, thanks to the PumpFun integration. Now imagine what Coinbase would do.

The PumpFun app now also offers their own Gacha packs and TCG marketplace. Guess who is powering them 👀

at the current pace, solana:CARDSccUMFKoPRZxt5vt3ksUbxEFEcnZ3H2pd3dKxYjp is on track to break its record month from June, when it generated more than $16M in net revenue in a single month. and that's without any of the big catalysts set to drop in Q4. higher, for longer.

when I started in crypto in 2017, I had no idea what I was doing. I threw a few hundred bucks at some random ICOs and somehow turned it into like $30k within half a year. then obviously lost it all when the bubble burst in 2018. but I was euphoric and completely hooked. and the conclusion I walked away with was as left curve as it was brilliant: altcoins gud. so I did the only logical thing. I took out a loan at the end of 2018 and went all in. hit a few small runners in 2019, and founded Moonrock Capital. decent capital to play with, a brand to invest under, and a strong left curve thesis. I was perfectly positioned for what came next: the biggest bull run in crypto history. I turned a mid 5-figure personal portfolio into a mid 8-figure one for Moonrock. but here's the interesting part: the exact left curve approach that made me didn't evolve with me. I slowly turned into a textbook mid curvoor. it started with NFTs I never fully understood and hence just lost money on them. then when memecoin mania exploded, I refused to touch it and just hated from the sidelines. after living through FTX, Luna and every other blow up, the PTSD made it almost impossible to believe in anything again, especially something that looked that stupid. I don't regret it, and in hindsight I was mostly right. but I still left a lot of money on the table. what it did give me was time to think. about what comes next, and what kind of investor I actually want to be. because here's what I realized: all the catalysts we kept waiting for, the pro-crypto president, the ETFs, the institutional flows, none of them moved the needle the way everyone promised. and the reason is simple. the days of trading purely on narratives and speculation are over. it was fun while it lasted, but valuations got too outrageous to be justified by vibes alone. at some point you actually have to step up and deliver. the casino will always exist in some form. but I'm convinced it keeps shrinking until it's just a small side niche. and that's completely fine. look at Hyperliquid, PumpFun, Collector Crypt, the entire DeFi ecosystem over the last 1-2 years. the pattern is impossible to miss: projects that create real value, that people genuinely want to use and pay for, massively outperform the ones that don't. groundbreaking, I know. we are finally maturing as an industry. the experimental decade was fun and brought incredible innovation. but the next decade is about noticing which experiments actually worked, and backing them with everything. left curve made me. mid curve humbled me. who knows whether I am on the right side of the curve now, but I've never been more convinced about what's coming: the longest and most rewarding cycle crypto has ever seen. the Golden Age of Onchain Businesses.
