Been holding my 888k solana:2zMMhcVQEXDtdE6vsFS7S7D5oUodfJHE8vd1gnBouauv for ~2.5 years in order to boost my @AbstractChain XP. Needless to say, this resulted in a direct $30.000 loss. This combined with the 'XP farming' gives a total pnl of about -$50.000 Thanks for not not launching that ABS TGE at 2b - 3b Luca!

Ah thanks for the reminder to unfollow @MagicEden What a shit show they have become. Backstabbing BTC ordinal was enough reason but now they promote cheap gambling sites. How low can they go

You can say what you want about @beaniemaxi but he's spot on here: Without Abstract and their thousands of active farmers, PENGU would have never had its high valuation. Don't forget, holding PENGU gave... XP multipliers! So ye the team sold billions of PENGU and profited heavily of it. They pumped PENGU's value with Abstract tge promises.
Some say that Abstract is "being responsible" by not launching a token with no pmf. But for years users spent real money on XP with the promise of a token. And these promises helped moon PENGU. Of which the team sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth. Compensate these people.

Imagine a casino where nearly 100% of customers lose money. Now imagine that instead of acknowledging the odds are stacked against its customers, the casino markets itself as a revolutionary platform for creating wealth. Would you celebrate that business? Would you praise its success? Would you encourage more people to participate? Or would you start asking why an ecosystem continues to funnel billions of dollars into a machine that leaves almost everyone poorer? That’s my fundamental issue with @Pumpfun . A platform’s success should not be measured solely by how much revenue it extracts from its users. At some point, we need to ask how much value it actually creates for them. When the house keeps winning and virtually everyone else keeps losing, that’s not financial innovation. 🫡 From the depths — The White Whale 🐋

Mass extraction right here. @Pumpfun and their partners in crime have taken out almost a billion. That's a billion that's never coming back. Rip
Pump fun(@Pumpfun) is dumping $SOL again! 8 hours ago, they deposited 129,798 $SOL ($14.07M) into #Kraken. In total, pump.fun has sold 5,477,722 $SOL($875.5M) at an average price of $159.8. arkm.com/explorer/entity/pum…

Look at the timeline No one outside of paid off pump shills wants these celeb coins or for kols to become 'celebs' and extract even more from the plebs Every coin has pumpdex fees, pumpswap, terminal or bot fees, creator rewards, cashback, call out rewards, etc It is endless extraction, taking money out of coins and giving it to deployers, bundlers and kols, making the slice of the pie plebs have access to ever smaller But it's the plebs that make this space - without them - there's nothing to extract But you are bleeding us dry Meanwhile yourself and others have taken huge paid deals from pump, when instead you have the platform to lead us to a better way if you wanted to Robinhood took marketshare from pump and sol and the market was great, now the market share has gone back to pump and we are all getting farmed to zero again This is because pump only cares about spending money to generate fees through their ecosystem. They don't care about coins that people hold because they don't make anything from it. They need pnds for their revenue. With each pnd deploy a huge amount is extracted from the trenches, never to be seen again. This is not sustainable. And it's why it's rare to see coins on pump go to a high mc. It's a race to the bottom Where is the airdrop? Will you start advocating for it again? Or do the plebs have to give it up so 'celeb' kols can get paid?

RIP to my inbox the last 24 hours. I will respond to DMs soon as I can. Thanks for the patience. Until we communicate anything about WL / collabs, if you like the look of @GigaLegendsLTD you should probably check out GLHFers & Gigaverse ROMs.

It times to redeem my boses in @gigaverse soon @GigaLegendsLTD Recommendations by Claude: Go for 2× Online Boxes if you want the highest potential returns. Higher-tier boxes deliver significantly more base USDC value per Hard Core spent ($1.22 per 10k cores vs $1.00 in lower tiers) alongside top-tier rewards. Leftover Cores: Spend your remaining 62,837 cores on 1× Stirring Box (32,000) and 3× Dormant Boxes (30,000) to maximize usage, leaving only 837 cores unused. Let's see what's in my boxes: 🧵 1/2

Looking back on my 17.5 year anniversary! I've made many important decisions in my life, but as @naval Says: _*Find a relationship where you, naturally being you, makes the other person happy. And the other person, naturally being the other person, makes you happy*_. Thats what matters most.

This shows how uninformered (or delusional) people are these days. Yes I'm talking to you @Tyler_Did_It Airdrops are not payed out by the company that's doing a TGE. In other words, these PENGU tokens where NOT bought. They are GENERATED from thin air. The PENGU value (and all airdrops) comes from five primary sources: -Centralized exchanges (usually 50% - 55%) -Speculators and open-market buyers (20% - 25%) -Liquidity providers / market makers (10% - 15%) -VC/early investors backing (5%) -The project’s own capital (0% - 1%) $PENGU was listed on Tier-1 exchanges (like Binance) on day one. Pudgy Penguins had massive brand hype leading into the launch. Thousands of traders who did not qualify for the airdrop wanted to buy $PENGU at launch. THEY PAYED FOR YOUR AIRDROP. NOT LUCA.
Tyler defends Pudgy Penguins founder Luca Netz against criticism pointing out he gave Pudgy Penguins holders $80,000 each in one of the biggest NFT airdrops in history “Luca gave everyone $80,000 for holding a Pudgy Penguin NFT. It was the second biggest airdrop in NFT history behind Bored Apes and ApeCoin” “All you had to do was hold a Pudgy Penguin. You got $80,000 for it. So I don't know how any holder can be upset at Luca in any way” “Yes they went off and did Abstract and I think they gave it their best go. Maybe you could argue they could have perhaps failed faster. I don't know. That's a hard thing to do” “I’m sure they didn't want to fail. It's a tough game and also there was a lot of things that shifted” “A lot of people thought consumer was the way to go and then it actually turned out it was institutions. That's the only chains that have made it” “Now they're catching all the backlash, all the dunking, even though he kind of stood up and ran one of the most successful NFT projects of all time”

I see many posts with a lot of words about Luca's Abstract rug, but it's all in summarized in one sentence here: They promised an airdrop for Abstract XP. They sold badges, talked about a 20-30b TGE, had us chase the next tier and all kinds of trucks to have us spend more time and money. It's one of the biggest scams in the web 3 space, and by far the biggest of 2025/2026. Disgusting
I agree Luca has done a lot for the space, and i'm not gonna shit on the hand that fed me, but what happened with Abstract is right there for everyone to see. Call it a bad investment, a rug, a flop, whatever, at this point, the labels don't matter, the facts do. Team promised an airdrop based on weekly XP, people spent months interacting with the portal, dropping money on badges (we're talking millions here) and farming XP, all with the expectation that it'd eventually pay off, then the team pulled the plug, saying the chain costs were unsustainable. Call it whatever you want, the promise wasn't kept. And the bigger issue is the precedent this sets for other L2s, if this gets swept under the rug, what's stopping the next L2 from dangling an airdrop in front of users, getting everyone to spend money and farm points, then pulling the plug when things go south? If nobody holds these teams accountable, we're basically telling every L2 they can do the same shit and get away with it. If this is the kind of Web3 we're settling for, then fuck it, anything goes.

So when is the best time to buy an ape? I've asked my new best friends Claude and he came up with some interesting graphs. Best Window: 3 to 6 weeks before the event Why: The floor price typically experiences a "pre-event run-up" in the final 1–2 weeks before ApeFest as buyers rush to acquire a Bored Ape to secure event tickets. Buying 3 to 6 weeks prior lets you front-run this demand spike before prices tick upward. So I'm 3-6 weeks late. That said, I'm looking for a forever ape so it's all good.

Am I happy with my Gigaverse Awakening results? Yes and no. So it clearly shows I've lacked behind in fishing. Reason is, I really don't like it. I've skipped the first 2 weeks and that turned out to be a very impactful choice, and a disadvantage I could never overtake. I'm happy with my top 50 spot, but with more focus I should have been able to hit top 20. Next time.
