someone claiming to be elon's son launches a dog coin, elon follows, elon unfollows, -86% bundles ate well once again another morning in crypto 😹

everyone will say ansem sent mihao but to be fair, the community spent 2 weeks changing pfps and raiding replies before that i wouldn't personally touch it here but still happy to finally see an 8 fig runner built on culture and bagworking alone small hope for the trenches

wow elysium season lasted 1 hour ggwp

never seen sentiment this low in the trenches it's been a week of exposing everyone and today it's just tjr and slingoor's turn so here's my take kols and "callout" guys at the top of the pyramid didn't come out of nowhere. we built that system 2024 worked better because people speculated on narratives and bid coins regardless of who was holding them, without dozens of pvps launching every day this year we got sold social trading as the fix: track the wallets, make kols accountable, right?? in practice it just made everything worse. everyone started trading the holders instead of the coin whatever you think of slingoor or tjr, they're a product of how we all play this game and a lot of the people sending insults and death threats would do the exact same thing in their position so learn who's actually worth following. build a small circle of friends you can trust. that's what keeps you sane in weeks like this and to be fair crypto has always been a mess. it's a zero-sum game where a few will always exploit the many. accept that if you want to be profitable that doesn't mean the opportunity is gone. look at what happened onchain from july to september with btc around 80k i'd still argue this is one of the best industries to make outsized returns if you're smart and want to really lock in but that means owning your decisions don't outsource your conviction to any kol. watch, learn, build your own thesis and the part nobody talks about enough: don't make it just trading. mix it with content, gigs, collaborations there are still plenty of paid opportunities in web3 that help you grow, expand your network and work directly with builders who actually care about the future of our industry so you shouldn't leave now. i'm not leaving stay strong 🫡

elysium feels like a breath of fresh air in the trenches on a smaller scale, it reminds me of the dead market back in july, when robinhood announced its chain and nobody even blinked hoping for some nice "pve" there with infra plays, without getting farmed at 20k mcap by sol bundlers
