saying onchain is cooked and that from now on everyone will only invest in products with stable revenue and pmf is an insanely short-sighted take people will keep going for the most speculative assets, because they wanna make a lot of money as fast and as easily as possible. high quality web3 products have nothing to do with that. In a bear market, when everyone’s depressed, it’s obviously more rational to allocate your attention to products with revenue. but in euphoria, nobody wants to think too hard 2020-2022: onchain was shining because it was basically the beginning. we had just started trying onchain products and it was an incredible discovery for us. then we kept unlocking more and more: nfts, defi, gamefi, metaverses, onchain ponzis, etc. every new sector fueled the euphoria, which is why the music played so long compared to every year after 2023-2025: at first, me and most of the market tried to trade the same assets that worked last bull run: hunting new nft collections, grinding WLs, investing in gamefi, and just analyzing products the same old way. that’s why most people faded 2 main narratives of that cycle for so long: memecoins and ai agents. they were the complete opposite of what we got used to in 2020-2022: We didn’t care about the team, we didn’t need the token on CEXs, we wanted the most “fair launches” possible on pumpfun, and we didn’t need a product behind the token all of this was an answer to the problems we ended up facing with 2020-2022 projects: down-only tokens because of VCs, products that never launched, endless broken promises, “strong” teams from goldman sucks and so on so yeah, if you invested in hyper-speculative assets in 2023-2025 the same way you did in 2020-2022, you wouldn’t have made a single cent 2026-2028: the same thing is probably happening right now. in 2023-2025 we realized our answer to the problems of 2020-2022 turned out to be complete shit too. “fair launches” stopped being fair, tokens without products aren’t interesting anymore, and we need to know the team, otherwise it could be just another vibecoded product with 95% bundle the stocks narrative we got in late summer/early fall is just an echo of the past, something that should actually stay in the past. pretty soon we’ll all decide it was another mistake and that it’s time for a new answer and only then will onchain, or more accurately “hyper-speculative assets”, shine again. once we figure out how to solve the problems that came up, we’ll get dozens of new shiny things, and that’s when the real risk on starts

Alot of cool artsy projects popping up if you care enuf to look: @theidmfun - all sorts of cool experiments with blockchain and sound. 2nd place $imd community hackathon. Plenty of collaboration / integration ops with projects. Musical capital markets @squigglee_ - is a new blockchain language that turns code into art: you can create all unique ephemeral creations (this the newest still high risk - also interesting @zauthinc pair maybe they cook something together @squeekchain - this prolly the most hyped but pre token; an experiment in exploration, proof of biology: lots of people trying new things on thete PA has been utter dogshit but they are all very lowcaps anyways so its expected There was 1 More but had to take off list

i think this ambient is one of the best examples of music made with code, it sounds amazing
the hamster is asleep, so the station dreams. new ambient pack on the @squeekchain station. one of the best things we’ve done. a new dream every 30 min while the wheel stands still IDM x Squeekchain

Replying to @axisrobotics
Please explain to the community why an entity received ~42M AXIS from the Axis team multisig to six addresses and sold it for ~5.04M USDC via DEX over the past 24 hours which has caused the AXIS price to crash 40%?

He got 46,428 HYPE in the genesis airdrop, $4.2M at today’s price. Now he's buying $1 for 98¢ on @Outcomexyz robertocarlos, 0xe933…5bb3 $209.6k lifetime profit on HL perps, $115.9M traded moved $50k to Outcome on Sep 23–28 +$5.6k realized in 30 days (+11%) How: one YES + one NO on the same outcome merge back into $1. Get both legs for less, keep the difference. He lifts NO on favourites from market makers' asks, parks bids on the underdog's YES at 4–12¢, and waits hours, sometimes days. When both legs fill under $1, he merges them. 60k+ pairs so far, ~1¢ each. Merges are only 20% of his profit, though. 69% came from selling underdog legs higher: PSG YES bought at 13¢, sold at 17.5¢, +$2.5k. Market makers quote YES and NO separately. He's the one adding them up.
A prediction market trader made $16,056 in 30 days with a $2.4k bankroll and an 86% win rate. One wallet on @Outcomexyz, and the trick is buying answers that are already decided. 0x9522…1f32 (ferrari4u2) Setup ↓ Every 15 minutes Hyperliquid lists "BTC/ETH/HYPE above X at time T". In the last 1–3 minutes the price is often so far from the strike that the answer is basically known. Trade ↓ He bids 0.55–0.80 on the side that's already winning, 600–1,400 shares, and keeps refreshing the bid. Someone sells him the winner, and it settles at $1. Receipts from Oct 25: HYPE "No", 1,375 at 65¢ → +$481 ETH "No", 1,200 at 70¢ → +$360 BTC "Yes", 1,250 at 80¢ → +$250 On top of that, $4.4k in @monarch_fast LP rewards. Does it still work? Yes, but thinner. +$2.0k on Oct 24 +$1.3k on Oct 25 +$127 on Oct 26 It's a window, and it's closing.

when the hamster starts running, the music should change and it should start recording tracks. the rest of the time, ambient music will be playing
