Donald Trump is coming for crypto in a very big way.

I looked at all of his most recent statements on crypto & found some eye-opening things.

Let’s discuss… 👀 Image
Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, began his venture into crypto with Ethereum back in December of 2022.

Here, he launched a digital trading card collection with 45,000 NFTs on Polygon.

The NFTs offered exclusive access to a variety of amenities.
The 45,000 NFTs quickly sold out, giving President Trump’s wallet over $4M in crypto.

Donald Trump would later go on to host a handful of events with those who hold the NFT.

Dinner with Trump, golfing at Mar-A-Lago, etc. Image

are you following the breadcrumbs from coinbase?

many millionaires will be made on base this cycle.

if you don’t quite get it yet, you will soon…
the number one crypto exchange in the United States is Coinbase, with no debate.

it consistently ranks top 25 in the app store for finance, with 50M+ registered users.

but this isn’t what makes base so interesting… Image
there are a combination of factors paving the way for base to become a leader in the L2 ecosystem.

to start, eip-4844.

eip-4844 has tremendously lowered tx fees. tx fees on base are now just a fraction of what they were before thanks to the upgrade.

hello frens.

if you’re reading this, you just made it through one of the longest crypto bear markets in history.

are you prepared to see something we’ve never seen before?

let’s compare to 2021.
a popular top signal is when coinbase hits #1 on the app store charts.

this has only happened twice in history:

first on December 7th, 2017 - when btc was $17,249

then on May 10th, 2021 - when btc was $58,213

Today, btc is $54,575 and coinbase sits all the way at rank #422.
okay, cool. how about crypto activity on reddit?

some analysis can show just how far we are from peak hype:

in 2021, r/cryptocurrency averaged hundreds of thousands of posts a day.

in 2024, r/cryptocurrency averages just a couple thousand of posts a day.

big difference.

On November 9th, 2021 United States law enforcement officers closed in on a lakeside mansion in Georgia.

Inside of its floor safe they found $661,000 in cash, gold bars + coins, and a Cheetos popcorn tin.

The Cheetos popcorn tin contained $3.4B worth of bitcoin. Image
To understand how law enforcement found this unfathomable amount of money, & why $3.4B of bitcoin was stashed in a Cheetos tin, we’ll have to go back to 2009…

James Zhong had just turned 18 years old.

He was a smart, quirky kid with a knack for computer science. Image
After landing a near perfect score on the SAT, he packed his bags with everything he owned, traveled to the University of Georgia, & never spoke to his parents again.

This would mark the start of a new, extraordinary life for James.

Something incredible was about to happen. Image

AI is still trying to find its way into the market.

The project that I’ve been working on aims to change this for good.

It’s simple, useful, and implements AI models on the blockchain in a way that just makes sense.

Introducing … 🤖aiis.dev
uses advanced models from OpenAI to simplify the erc20 development process.

With just three questions, GPT-4 + DALLE-3 can help anyone create and deploy a token in under a minute.

Deploying a token has never been easier, ever. aiis.dev

Image
Under the hood, the user’s answers to:

“How should I name the token?”

”How should I make the ticker?”

”How should I make the supply?”

are sent to GPT-4, which responds based on its extensive training on trillions of parameters. Image
