Went broke. Built it back.
My wife never even knew.
That’s the level of pressure we carry in silence.
Crypto doesn’t make soft humans, it forges the toughest ones.
We lose, we adapt, we rebuild.
And we protect our families from the chaos while doing it.
I respect you all.
all that ever made sense and the main reason people stayed in this space was to trade memes with their own originality and narratives that could unite delusionally bullish degens willing to hold, buy dips and work their bags nonstop.
it never needed breaking news, daily headlines or some random event. people were the reason other people traded.
now mfers are calling this the “new era” of trading. new era of what exactly bro? racing thousands (now hundreds) of other degens to enter and exit the same random headline for 0.5 SOL? what are you even building? no narrative, no community, no reason for anyone to stay once the volume disappears.
people genuinely think this is some kind of evolution of meme trading.
evolution into what bro? a market where nobody believes in anything, nobody wants to hold anything and everyone is just waiting for the next guy to buy so they can dump on him?
you literally removed everything that made memes valuable in the first place and called it a new era.
this isn’t some new standard. it’s already dying and it will die.
original memes with real communities and people who genuinely care will always win.
this is what worked. this is what will always work.
people quitting the space at the absolute bottom and basically rugging their own communities instead of taking some fucking responsibility.
show up daily. motivate others to stay. support the communities still alive even after their memes got nuked 90%.
that’s how you build something that lasts. not by giving up when you should be taking the lead, finding ways to survive and making sure we all get through this together.
i provide free liquidity to good memes, and even tho i’m down myself, i don’t fucking care because morally, ethically and historically, i believe this is the right thing to do.
liquidity will come back to memes that we all genuinely agree deserve billions. not because we’re all down bad and desperately need our bags to recover, but because the mismatch between their actual potential and current valuations is so fucking unreal that it makes absolutely no sense.
god bless you all. we’re gonna win in the end.
the end of this nightmare is near.
rn you genuinely don’t see any reason why these memes would ever come back. you can’t even imagine what would make them start moving again. everything is fucked, everything is going to zero and buying these crazy dips makes absolutely no sense.
until one day someone decides it’s time and suddenly a few massive green candles appear. then everything starts making sense again. you start buying the exact same memes at 5-10x higher prices because now you finally have your validation.
that’s literally how this game works.
very few people believe during the worst times. if everyone believed these memes would come back, the sentiment wouldn’t be this fucking bad in the first place.
but bro, some of these memes have been getting dumped for weeks and months and they still refuse to go to zero. why? because there are actual communities behind them, people who genuinely believe in them, narratives that haven’t gone anywhere.
not every meme will survive, obviously. but some of these things have a real foundation and aren’t going anywhere.
figuring out which ones will survive and buying them on these crazy dips when absolutely nobody wants them is where i think the real gold mine is.
by the time everything becomes obvious, the opportunity won’t be the same.
the moment you finally give up and sell your favorite memes at the absolute bottom, they’ll come back so fucking fast you won’t even have time to react.
but sure, keep telling yourself this time is different, memes are dead and nobody is coming back.
can’t wait to see you buying the same bags 10x higher.
someone’s bottom sell is someone else’s generational entry.
you’re selling your favorite fucking memes after they’ve been irrationally dumped into oblivion. the same memes you were convinced deserved hundreds of millions.
what exactly are you buying with that money? what are you going to find that’s better than what you just sold at the bottom?
memes are literally the best onboarding tools ever created, but only when they last longer than a few fucking minutes.
give people something they can relate to, buy, hold, build communities around and actually make money on. $fone, $triplet, $buttcoin, $cate, even $burnie and plenty of others have the narratives and potential to become billion-dollar memes.
look at $burnie. elon musk interacting with content around it, solana founder @toly posting, massive organic traction, yet barely any of it reflects on the chart.
why isn’t @Pumpfun actively supporting a handful of these memes? proper market making, consistent trading volume, visibility, promotion. give these communities a real chance to grow.
attention alone isn’t enough. without proper market making, consistent trading volume and visibility, even the strongest narratives struggle to gain momentum.
wintermute understood this part of the game. whatever you think of them, they were deploying serious capital, market making and keeping memes visible. now nobody seems interested in doing that.
instead, everyone is obsessed with launching new pairs and onboarding people as exit liquidity for the same 200-300 extractors.
you can’t build an industry by rinsing everyone who enters it. you need people to make money, tell their friends, build communities and actually stay.
the market needs something to stand on, not another million tokens that die in minutes.
enough of the purposeless, hopeless, meaningless gambling and endless extraction.
time to go back to buying and holding memes with real size and conviction. memes that actually stand for something, where people are willing to build communities, engage with each other, work together toward a common goal, and create value instead of treating everyone else as exit liquidity.
we need more holders, more believers, more cults, and fewer people trying to extract every last penny from each other.
stop trying to outsmart each other. start winning together.
some of the best memes out there that genuinely deserve to be trading at hundreds of millions, if not billions, and i’m not even exaggerating, are sitting below 10M rn. absolutely unbelievable.
market is completely broken, real liquidity has pretty much dried up and good memes are getting murdered. i genuinely believe they’ll eventually go where they belong, and i’m not planning to stop holding them.
but one thing i learned the hard way last cycle is to never keep your entire net worth one click away. was literally punting six figures like nothing, even when i knew we were probably at the top. roundtripped a ridiculous amount of money simply because it was too easy to gamble away.
that’s when i realized i needed to park some of my money in real assets, far enough from my trading wallets that i can’t just punt it all away in a moment of insanity.
few months ago i bought commercial property on al marjan island, UAE, where wynn is building its $5.7B casino resort.
flew there again recently to see the progress with my own eyes and holy fuck, the pace of development is insane.
i genuinely think we’re watching the next las vegas being built in real time. and commercial and residential real estate there still looks ridiculously undervalued to me.
imagine owning a piece of las vegas before it became las vegas.
genuinely pumped to be holding a piece of what i believe will become history. probably my first real 5-10 year investment since i’ve always been obsessed with making money as fast as possible. excited to see how this plays out.
anyway, just sharing what i’ve been doing outside crypto lately. if anyone ever wants to know more about the process or who i’ve been working with, my dms are open. genuinely had a great experience with those guys.
hopefully the market turns around soon and we finally see the good memes getting the attention and liquidity they deserve.
making money is super easy rn. everyone sold at the literal bottom and went to participate in competitions in a completely broken market where liquidity is nonexistent, just to lose the last pennies they have and give it all to extractors who will reinvest their profits back into real memes to start the second wave.
accumulate absolutely killed memes on sol and robinhood now and wait. painful, but this is a high-risk, high-reward business.
