Gonna get ripped a new one, but...

Celestia has been unfairly singled out as the scapegoat for VC negligence compared to 99.9% of projects with very similar tokenomics, charts, VC reckonings, market making games, and unlocked staking rewards.

In this case, Polychain is nuking on everyone's heads and there's nothing you can really do about it. They have destroyed the chart. Few more months until unlocks aggressively slow down and they stop dumping. Otherwise, they clearly don't care about anyone who's holding and don't want to participate in the next era of growth for the protocol.

In addition to this, the targeted hate is strong because people had very high expectations of the product adoption from pre-launch (which has been slower than they anticipated). The tech is actually a zero to one innovation on the market, yet the price action has been a major let down. Last but likely the biggest reason is that a lot of people got the airdrop, bought more, staked, and are now underwater.

When looking at the market (liquid or venture), there are dozens of tokens in an extremely similar -90%+ position yet haven't received nearly a lick of hate, which imo is because the reasons above.

Overall, there aren't many "believers" left in tokens in general, and even less for Celestia, even though tech & adoption wise its far stronger than it was at $20.
Polychain = destruction.

Any reasonable VC would agree this level of dumping is completely immoral to any team who’s trying to build a multi-decade company. Insane.

Celestia is the most polarizing token in the space rn and Polychain has played a big role in the story.

BREAKING:

Kanye West launches memecoin $YZY on Solana, which pumped from $200M to $2B+ within 5 minutes of him posting the CA.

The best liquidity is on Meteora and it's trading at ~$1.4B. Only possible on Solana. Image

Pair has $100M+ in volume in the last 30 minutes. Now trading at $1.6B, with $176M in the LP. Image
Token is ripping now. At 2.14B now. Exercise caution here guys, absolute insanity.

CA is here:

CFC St. Moritz Digital Assets Summit is happening today in the Swiss Alps and I'll be covering it on the ground for you all who are cozy at home on this chilly winter week.

Follow along this thread for the best takeaways and conversations of the week.

I'm pretty stoked. This is a three day conference with a ton of heavy hitters.

The WEF has an event here in a few days time, the famous 'Davos' so it’s very ritzy and luxurious. Personally, I'm more into authenticity than flaunting but I'm sure we'll see a ton of it.

Getting on the shuttle over there shortly! Im going to make a point to meet as many people as I can even though I don’t have a ticket (it was impossible to get).
Today is focused on the overall developments in the digital asset industry, addressing macro trends, anticipated pressures, and drivers, including regulation, technology, and other macro topics.

Basically the most important day, let's get the big picture right. Really excited to be a fly on the wall here today and absorb as much quality info as possible.

Skate to where the puck is going type of thing. Next post here will be from the event, stay tuned!

Hey @TrustlessState can you please provide a transparent answer to what the hell just transpired in that last 24 hours with this?

Rumor has it Bankless has a ton of allocations, is up 1400x on them, has provided zero real value creation and is grifting from less educated people.
From what I’ve heard:

- Bankless has gotten ejaaz on their weekly show for *checks notes* less than a month

- Received multiple large allocations which are now worth millions

- Contributed very little to the actual “DAO” in any meaningful way which would have real world impact

- Is likely going to dump on unsuspecting retail (or already has)

Someone has some explaining to do. After the endless shilling of undisclosed bags, they fixed it and made things public. After the Bankless DAO, I gave them another chance. After this??? Who knows man.
So @TrustlessState you have $1,700,000 in your wallet.

Did you earn that? Did you contribute anything? How do you plan to make more videos about AI agents without just obviously dumping all over your audience?

You promoted this guy Ejaaz and his entire idea in a big way. The community demands answers.

The Future of Rollups Panel at Scale Summit moderated by @yuan_han_li

Featuring:
@nemothenoone of @nil_foundation
@_bfarmer of @0xPolygon
@GuthL of @StarkWareLtd / @Starknet
@gluk64 of @the_matter_labs / @zksync

Live panel recap, let’s go! 👇 Image
@yuan_han_li @nemothenoone @nil_foundation @_bfarmer @0xPolygon @GuthL @StarkWareLtd @Starknet @gluk64 @the_matter_labs @zksync The first question from Yuan is about the right way to scale blockchains.

Brendan starts by saying the proper way to scale is horizonally by scaling access to liquidity / shared state.

He says scaling horizontally without composability is the way forward.
Alex says all panelists will converge on this vision and they all want to preserve the core priniciples of blockchains in the first place...security, permissionless, censorship resistant.

He mentions he wants blockchains to be accessible by anyone. 1000s of permissionless chains, horizontally sharded (sequenced in parallel), modular layers, some having centralized sequencers and some with decentralized BUT they are all connected.

No more bridging. Pls no more bridging!

Some quick modular math on todays @dymension airdrop:

$TIA launched at ~$2.5FDV with most airdrop recipients receiving 2-3x what their initial allocation due to people not claiming

Its now trading $13B FDV, 2 months post airdrop

$DYM total supply is also 1B, I expect them to launch around $1 so about $1B FDV in a few weeks

Lets say you got 500 tokens, I expect you to end up with at least 1000+ when its all said and done as many people will not claim

$TIA went straight 6x post-launch, why can't $DYM pull a nice 3-4x and sit pretty around 3-5B FDV?

As $TIA is the leader of the modular sector, it will rise and bring everything up with it. Imo, holding this airdrop like with $TIA will be the best bet for future rewards and as the modular sector grows and $TIA moves towards $50B FDV, all tokens will rise with it.

Bold Prediction: $DYM trades over $10B one day. Soon.
@dymension Why should you care about Dymension?

Here's my writeup recap from a few months ago:

Ah yes, and of course Penguins got the drop, cuz Penguins are the builders pfp

The modular thesis is playing out, have a read for some of my recent writings as to *why* I’m so damn bullish on this vertical 👇
