This childish tweet should go down as the most important tweet in the history of #TRON

Rant incoming ๐Ÿ‘‡
For a time, I thought Justin represented something crypto needed... a savvy P.T. Barnum-style mouthpiece.

A marketer who would do the things other projects were too good to do out of a desire to achieve the one thing that actually matters: a growing userbase.
Now, he strikes me as a pedantic child.

You either have a decentralized network or you have nothing.
My boys and girls at @oikos_cash , I hope you've printed Justin's tweet out and framed it.

I hope you use it as fuel to build something that's utterly unstoppable.
I for one am here. I will provide thee liquidity on swap.oikos.cash.

I will go short Justin and long the builders, the doers, the dreamers.

Buidl, OKS. Buidl.
I think the world underestimates the impact has has on Ethereum. It essentially invented liquidity mining, and supercharged Uniswap's growth.

OKS can do the same on TRON.

Put the baby in a wagon with a nice red ball and send him giggling down a hill.
Then go forth, Oikosians. And build.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for the machines are within me

and I am within them
๐Ÿ…ธ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ†ƒ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ…ณ๐Ÿ†„๐Ÿ…ฒ๐Ÿ†ƒ๐Ÿ…ธ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ…ฝ

I think back to my old life, half-starved, feeling hopeless, working jobs that paid me just enough to keep me indentured.

Iโ€™ll never forget the hunger. Sometimes, the hollowness in my stomach got so bad, I did the only thing I could to make it stop: I went to sleep.

Now, many years later, I have food in the fridge (and even a house with a set of stairs like the rich kids had when I was a boy).

But that hunger has not gone away.

Itโ€™s imprinted on my soul. It drives me, gnaws at me, reminds me that the brink is always closer than we dare admit.

I started here with nothing, buying my first bitcoin 11 years ago via a red MoneyGram telephone โ˜Ž๏ธ at my local pharmacy (thank you, BitInstant). Since that time, I have amassed (and lost) fortunes.

Each cycle has taught me lessons about investing, but more importantly about myself.

Hereโ€™s the most important one: anything is possible.

There are no rules in this space because humanity hasnโ€™t tread here before.

We stumble together through the dark forest.ย 

And every year, we uncover some new wonder.

In 2023, that wonder was bitcoin ordinals.

With Casey @rodarmor's contributions, the world suddenly had a way to intertwine data with the worldโ€™s oldest blockchain for as long as it lives on.

This data โ€“ from JPGs to videos to html and JSON โ€” doesnโ€™t live on IPFS or Filecoin or Arweave, but right there in the 500+ gb that make up the bitcoin blockchain.

I became obsessed, bought a laptop to once again run a bitcoin node, started minting and collecting early ordinals.

Then one sleep-deprived day, I had an idea: what if we used ordinals as a way to swap fungible tokens directly on top of bitcoin?ย 

I fired up Notepad, jotted down a hypothetical example, and tweeted it to the world:

Within days, a noble anon christened @domodata took up the idea and formalized it into a spec. Now, there are more than 55,000 different BRC-20 tickers in the world with a combined market cap in the billions of dollars. The first token, ORDI, is on Binance. There are cross-chain bridges, new exchanges, stablecoins and more.

The concept has also spread to maybe a dozen other chains, and, perhaps most importantly, itโ€™s dramatically changed the fee and security landscape for bitcoin by generating revenue for minersโ€ฆ just as the next halving approaches.

The irony is, I almost didnโ€™t tweet out my idea at all.

I was embarrassed. BRC-20 felt too naive. It requires trusting indexers, wallets and exchanges with little to no tangible incentive not to cheat their users.

In the end, I said โ€œfuck your little ego, redphone,โ€ and tweeted anyway.

Iโ€™m glad I did, and I hope the words that follow encourage you to do the same.

Braindump on twitscriptions

1. What are they? Someone took the concept of BRC20s (that is giving anyone the ability to deploy a token on bitcoin) and applied it to Twitter.

Simply tweet the creation of a token w a lil json and VOILA! you've birthed a token into the world. Image
2. Then, anyone can come along and mint your new token by tweeting a โ€œmintโ€ tweet like I did earlier today (see below).

After that, all any tokenholder has to do to transfer their tokens is tweet a lil "transfer" json, too. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

3. Hard to track down the origins of the idea, but it appears to have started here.

A fren just asked me about the preparatory steps I'd take for upcoming bull market... Here's what I said:

Preparations for me are really honing in on my mistakes in the last cycle and avoiding them.

7 things I did wrong: ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
1. Took on too much so I couldn't focus enough on trading/have the headspace to make good decisions or sense tremors or narrative shifts in the market
2. Didn't sell when I went out to dinner and literally heard 3 other tables talking about crypto (days before Elon went on Saturday Night Live)

Today = 1 month since I joined @friendtech

30 days of madness + euphoria. Can honestly say I've only gotten more + more bullish on FT...

in fact, I feel like a literal bull at the rodeo w the rope tied bw my leggos & the gate's about to swing open ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
1. First, the bad. There are elements to FT that are pretty gross... examples: paying to access a person and their thoughts, giving a market cap to a human, feeling like you're shilling/pimping yourself, gating your content, feeling beholden to strangers, etc., etc. Image
In fact, I thought I would hate FT, but I've found the rooms to be full of really interesting discussions... candid, honest stuff with people I respect and admire.

Sewer rats are squirming, crawling through the gutters w little pink noses snuffling about for any scrap of hope. Here it is: 3 catalysts for the next bull run in crypto:

1. Liquidity gush
2. Pink swan app
3. Rubberstamp cycle

tldr on each... ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
1๏ธโƒฃ Liquidity gush.

Probably triggered by a financial calamity that impacts everyone (except the upper middles and those rich folks north of Richmond), the printing presses shall hum back to life

And liquidity will gush back into the markets
No mania is possible w/out trillions of gallons of greenbacks sloshing about the global economy. Some crisis will force stimulus (ideally w $$$ making its way to the bottom 50% of society), & liquidity will gush back into markets as interest rates fall & risk-on mode = re-engaged

1/ DeFi was never the end game... it merely enables the end game

Breakout apps like rollbit, friendtech, tgbots, etc., are proof crypto is exiting the infra/build-out/DeFi phase to enter the "app" phase ๐Ÿงต
2/ These apps are delivering truly unique experiences that are only possible with crypto on the backend

And that changes the playing field forever
3/ Now is not the moment to be dreaming up iterative improvements for defi...

Now, is when you sweep the table clean and ask yourself: what would be cool as f to build?

Forget everything else but that question...
