Many followers have DM’d me saying they received the airdrop but don’t know what to do with it. They click around here and there, and in the end, not a cent is left. After all that effort, they have nothing to show for it.
To be honest, 10U isn’t much. This money was never meant to make you rich overnight. The main goal is to use this small amount of starting capital to stay in the market and gradually look for opportunities. The biggest fear is making random moves—before the opportunity arrives, the principal gets wiped out.

Would you dare to go heavy on $1,330 ZEC?
The NU7 testnet activated two days early, cutting block times from 75 seconds to 19.5 seconds, with the mainnet targeting November 5—but the price crashed from $1,697 to $1,330, down 15% in 7 days. Good news arrived, but the money disappeared. Is this a golden pit, or are market makers using the upgrade to unload?
First, the surface: from $1,697 to $1,330, a 22% pullback and a 15% drop in 7 days.
It surged to $1,697 on September 26–27, then declined steadily. Today’s low was $1,302 and high $1,368; the $1,330 you see is the midpoint of the range. With a $22.2 billion market cap, it ranks tenth. Trading volume was noticeably lower than during the September 27 surge—steady decline and rotation, not a collapse, but certainly not a good signal.
The candlesticks tell you this: the daily chart has returned from overbought to neutral, and short-term moving averages are beginning to slope downward. $1,330 sits right in the middle of the $1,270–$1,370 range, unable to break either up or down. Is this bottoming? No, this is a slow, painful grind lower.
First point: NU7’s testnet moved up, but the price didn’t.
On October 4, at block height 4465026, the NU7 testnet activated two days early. The block-time target changed from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, while the measured median briefly reached 19.5 seconds. 60% of fees go to the reserve, miners keep 40%, and old Sprout transactions are disabled.
Sounds highly technical? Here’s the plain-English version:
The chain is running, but it has not yet received mainnet sign-off. The mainnet decision is on October 20, with activation targeted for November 5. Testnet success does not mean the mainnet will definitely go. Sprout funds must be migrated before the upgrade, so execution risk remains.
Why didn’t the market react? Because expectations had already been fully priced in. The move from $800 to $1,697 was all about expectations for NU7. Now that the testnet came early, this is a case of “buy the rumor, sell the news”—when good news lands, it becomes bad news, and retail traders are always half a step behind.
Second point: the ETF narrative has entered its digestion phase, and institutions are no longer buying.
ZCSH completed a 3-for-1 split at the end of September, reaching $900 million in assets, with holdings accounting for 3.5% of the total supply. European ETPs also launched. The split and listing have both been fully realized.
And then? There were no new large subscription announcements in October. The price slid from $1,494 to $1,330.
Institutional channels are no longer providing standalone valuation support. More painfully, ETFs only custody transparent addresses—they buy exposure, not the shielded pool. You think institutions are buying privacy? They’re buying the code, not the conviction.
Third point: the technical chart is stuck at the midpoint of the range, with danger in both directions.
Key levels:
Above: $1,360–$1,370 is the overlap between today’s high and the September 29 low; $1,410–$1,420 is the October 2 supply zone; $1,480–$1,494 is the breakdown zone from September 30 to October 1. Don’t talk about $1,500 until it breaks above $1,420 on volume.
Below: $1,300–$1,310 is today’s low; $1,270–$1,283 is the low from October 2–3 and the structural level for this pullback; below that is $1,180–$1,200, the step before the mid-September acceleration.
Holding $1,270 would preserve the possibility of a deep pullback within an uptrend; a daily close below $1,270 means treating it as a deep correction in the short term.
What is $1,330? The midpoint of the range. Neither up nor down—the most awkward position. If you go long, the stop-loss is too close; if you short, you fear a sudden burst of good news. Seasoned traders know: open a position at the midpoint and you get hit from both sides.
You decide on the long-short battle
On one side:
NU7 testnet activated early, with the mainnet targeting November 5
ETF access is open, ZCSH reached $900 million, and European ETPs launched
Privacy offers differentiation, and the shielded pool remains sizable
Total supply is 21 million, with the halving retained; the scarcity thesis remains strong
On the other side:
Three rejections at $1,697; profit-taking from the move up from $800 is still present
ETFs only custody transparent addresses—they buy exposure, not the shielded pool
Testnet success ≠ guaranteed mainnet go-ahead on October 20
It has clearly underperformed BTC over the past 7 days; if BTC breaks below $83k, ZEC will break structure first
ZEC is 22% cheaper than $1,697, but still not cheap compared with the $800–$850 launch zone in August
Trading strategy
Aggressive: Try a small long position near $1,330 at most, with a stop-loss at $1,265. First target: $1,368; second target: $1,410. Take half off at $1,360. The risk-reward ratio is average, so don’t get carried away.
Conservative: Wait for $1,270–$1,290 before considering an entry, with a stop-loss at $1,235. An even better zone is $1,180–$1,220. If it doesn’t reach that area, use a small position. Better to miss out than make a mistake.
Breakout: Only consider chasing if it breaks and holds above $1,420 on volume and then retests without breaking $1,370. Targets: $1,480 and $1,540. Abandon a false breakout; don’t get emotionally attached.
Bears: If it loses momentum near $1,360–$1,370, a small short on the pullback is possible, with a stop-loss at $1,395 and targets at $1,300 and $1,270. Don’t blindly short near $1,270—that is a structural level.
Position-sizing rule: Risk no more than 2% of total capital per trade, with 3–5x leverage. Daily swings of 5–8% are common; don’t use high leverage to bet on a future that has not yet received sign-off.
Risk-control priorities:
If it breaks below $1,270 on volume, look next to $1,200 and $1,180, and reduce your position first.
If BTC breaks below $84,500, reduce ZEC leverage in tandem.
If October 20 brings a no-go or mainnet delay, expectations will be sold off first in the short term.
ZEC’s testnet moved up, but your account didn’t.
At $1,330, you can trade the $1,270–$1,370 range, not all-in on a new high. Staying alive until $1,270 breaks or $1,420 holds is more important than using high leverage to bet on the November upgrade at the midpoint of the range.
Watch two things: whether $1,270 can hold, and whether the mainnet actually gets signed off on October 20.#OneGate见证计划 #GT三季度销毁近200万枚 #BTC突破86000美元关口 $BTC %$ETH $ZEC

Quite a few people have been asking about the U Era airdrop over the past two days. I’ve also received the information from the project team, so I’m sharing the benefits with everyone first.
New users can currently claim 10.567 tokens per account. According to the campaign rules, 1 token can be redeemed for 1 USDT, and once the requirements are met, the funds are expected to arrive within 24 hours.
Participation is actually quite simple:
① Download TronLink (Bobo)
② The wallet address must have had at least 1 on-chain transaction previously
③ Register with U Era and link your own wallet address
④ Redeem the tokens according to the official campaign rules after they arrive
I’ve also pinned the registration link and TRC10 transfer tutorial at the top of my profile. I recommend bookmarking them so you can check them directly when needed.
For these types of campaigns, the most important thing is to verify the requirements yourself. Don’t just look at what others post. The project team is still distributing tokens, so those who qualify can go confirm as soon as possible.

One of the most important Bitcoin charts right now isn't about price.
​Bitcoin that hasn't moved in 5+ years just hit an all-time high.
​Long-term holders are keeping their coins locked, and available supply is shrinking fast.
​One of the strongest bullish signals out there. 🚀

PUMP at $0.0064—are you willing to bet on it?
You think PUMP has fallen 99%? First check whether you missed a zero on your screen. $0.0064 is not $0.064. Get the decimal point wrong by one place, and your position may already be wiped out.
First, the surface view: from $0.00115 to $0.0068, a 5x gain, but still 27% below the ATH.
The June low was $0.00115. From August to September, it rose from $0.002 to $0.006, surged to $0.0060 on September 29, touched $0.00681 on October 4, and now sits at $0.0064. Up 30% in 7 days and 50% in 30 days, with a $3 billion market cap, 464 billion tokens in circulation, and a total supply of 1 trillion.
The candlestick chart tells you this: the daily chart is flattening, while the 4-hour chart is rotating within the $0.0062-$0.0068 range. Volume is smaller than during the September 28-29 move, indicating digestion rather than a major uptrend. $0.0064 sits in the middle of the range, with danger on both sides.
First: the buyback is burning money, but it cannot create a floor.
The platform uses 50% of net revenue to buy back and permanently burn PUMP, with the contracts locked for one year. By the end of September, cumulative buybacks and burns totaled $466 million, or 168.6 billion tokens, representing 17% of total supply. Daily buybacks are $1.1-$1.2 million, with annualized revenue in the range of $500 million.
Sounds impressive? But before April, it had already spent $350 million on buybacks, and the price still fell back near the issuance price.
Buybacks are not a floor; they are a placebo. Revenue follows trading fees. When the meme market cools, buying stops. Historically, buybacks have never held the price above the lows below $0.004.
Second: that 20% move in September was not thanks to buybacks.
PUMP rose 20% on September 28-29, and many people shouted, “The buybacks are kicking in.” The truth is that both the platform’s token issuance volume and derivatives trading volume expanded at the same time, while leverage short-covering provided an additional push. The SEC staff guidance on buyback disclosures issued on September 25 was treated as bullish by some traders—but that was just sentiment, not an exemption.
More painfully, around one-third of the supply is still locked by insiders and related parties. Circulating supply is already large, and unlock and market-making sell pressure is heavier than $1 million in daily buybacks.
You are buying at $0.0064 while insiders are laughing at $0.001.
Third: the fundamentals are real, but revenue is cyclical.
Pump.fun remains the largest meme launchpad on Solana. Bonding curve, PumpSwap, and Terminal all generate fees, while creator revenue shares have cumulatively exceeded $86 million. The token value capture mechanism is the buyback and burn funded by that 50% of net revenue.
But the risks are more concrete:
When the meme market cools, buybacks immediately shrink
Derivatives open interest is often greater than spot volume, making $0.0064 easy to amplify with leverage
Compared with the June low of $0.00115, it has already risen several times; compared with the ATH, it has only recovered part of the decline
At $0.0064, you are buying “fees are still flowing,” not “scarcity has already been fully priced in.”
You decide the bull-bear battle
On one side:
Buybacks are using real cash, with cumulative burns totaling 17%
Solana’s largest meme launchpad, with real revenue
BTC holding above $85,000, with risk appetite better than at the end of September
Up 30% in 7 days, with the short-term trend pointing upward
On the other side:
It spent $350 million on buybacks in April and still fell back to the issuance price
One-third of the tokens are locked by insiders, creating heavier unlock selling pressure
Revenue is cyclical; when the meme market cools, buybacks stop
$0.0066-$0.0068 has failed three times, and the ATH at $0.0088 remains far away
The key level is $0.0064. A break below $0.0062 would mean a deep retracement.
Resistance above: $0.0066-$0.0068 → $0.0070 → $0.0088-$0.0090 (ATH)
Support below: $0.0062 → $0.0058-$0.0060 → $0.0051-$0.0054 → $0.0047
Trading strategy
Aggressive:
At around $0.0064, use no more than a small position to try a long, with a stop-loss at $0.00615. The first target is $0.0067 and the second is $0.0068. Take half off at $0.0067.
Conservative:
Wait for $0.0058-$0.0060 before considering an entry, with a stop-loss at $0.00545. An even better entry is $0.0051-$0.0054. If it does not reach those levels, use a small position.
Breakout:
Only consider chasing if it holds above $0.00685 on strong volume and does not break below $0.0066 on a retest, with targets at $0.0072 and $0.0078. Abandon the trade on a false breakout.
Bears:
If the move to $0.0067-$0.0068 lacks strength, a small short position can target a pullback, with a stop-loss at $0.00695 and targets at $0.0062 and $0.0058. Do not blindly short around $0.0062.
Position sizing:
Risk no more than 1.5% of total capital per trade, with leverage preferably no higher than 3x. A 10% daily move is common for an asset like this, and holding it is more aggressive than holding spot.
Risk-control priorities:
If it breaks below $0.0062 on rising volume, look to $0.0058 and $0.0051 next, and reduce the position first.
If BTC breaks below $84,500, cut PUMP leverage first.
If the platform’s daily revenue falls to a level where buybacks nearly stop, $0.0064 will most likely fail.
The buyback story is that fees are being used to burn tokens, not that scarcity has already been fully established. At $0.0064, you can trade the range, but this is not an All-in ATH setup.
Watch two things: whether $0.0062 can hold, and whether daily buybacks remain around $1 million.#OneGate见证计划 #GT三季度销毁近200万枚 #BTC突破86000美元关口 $BTC $ETH $PUMP

$BTC is testing the same horizontal resistance zone again around $86K–$87K.
Multiple rejections have already formed here, so this remains an important area to watch.
A clean breakout could open the door for further upside, while another rejection may send BTC back toward nearby support.

$ADA showing strong bullish momentum!
$ADA is trading at $0.2727, up +4.92% today, after breaking out from a low of $0.2441 and reaching a 24-hour high of $0.2748.
The short-term trend remains solid, with ADA gaining +10.27% over the last 7 days and +24.97% in the past 30 days.
Increasing volume signals sustained buying pressure as price consolidates right near the local resistance level.
A clean break above $0.2750 could open the doors for further upside momentum.
Keep a close eye on support around $0.2640.
Are you bullish on $ADA here?

🚨 ETH crushed BTC in Q3, but there’s a catch.
$ETH surged around 70%, significantly outperforming Bitcoin’s 42% gain.
But ETH’s market depth has weakened:
• Order book depth now: 35–45% of BTC’s
• A year ago: 60%+
• Lower liquidity = potentially larger price swings
ETH has momentum. The thinner liquidity could make the next move even more volatile.

AIN at $0.056—did you chase it?
Down 86% in one day, then up 3x in three days, surging from 0.023 to 0.072 and now stuck at 0.056. Funding is annualized at 300%, with longs paying shorts once every four hours. Is this the final escape window of a “dead-cat bounce,” or is someone quietly building a position?
First, the surface: a violent rebound, and retail traders are euphoric.
On September 15, it crashed from 0.19 to 0.023 in a single day, an 86% drop, wiping out how many people's accounts entirely. Then it rose 80% on October 3 and surged to 0.072 on the 4th, gaining 155% in seven days. Market cap is only tens of millions, yet daily trading volume exploded to 300 million—dozens of times the market cap. This isn't investing; it's a casino.
The candlesticks tell you: a long upper wick on the daily chart, RSI back to 57, four-hour chart neutral, and the 15-minute chart already below the moving averages. Every signal is saying the same thing: this is stagnation after short covering, not new money entering.
First: the surge you're seeing is shorts fleeing, not longs buying.
Funding is +0.15% every four hours, annualized at over 300%. What does that mean?
If you go long, you pay shorts once every four hours. Six payments a day, 300% a year.
Open interest is 20 million and still declining over 24 hours, while the price is hovering at highs. In plain English:
Shorts are closing and leaving, while longs are stubbornly paying the tax.
This isn't the beginning of a bull market; it's the end of a short squeeze. A genuine reversal should see open interest rise, funding fall, and price steadily move higher. What do we have now? Open interest is falling, price is grinding, and funding is still bleeding traders dry.
The long position you chase in is simply paying off shorts who are getting out.
Second: fundamentals? This move has absolutely nothing to do with fundamentals.
AIN is Infinity Ground, a tool for creating on-chain applications through AI agents. It only launched in July 2025, with 185 million in circulation, just 18.5% of the total supply. The native L2 has not yet launched, and there have been no new product or financing announcements since the September 15 crash.
So why is it rising? Because the float is small, because circulating supply is low, and because someone needs to pump it before dumping.
Market cap is tens of millions, while daily trading volume is 300 million. Do the math yourself. This isn't price discovery; it's a scheme looking for bagholders.
No new product, no new financing, no exchange-listing news—every price above 0.072 is a bull trap.
Third: technicals have already given you the answer.
It rose from 0.024 to 0.072 in two days, tripling, then retreated with a long upper wick. This is a typical distribution after a V-shaped rebound, not a breakout from a base.
The key levels are clear (on perpetuals):
Resistance: 0.060-0.062 → 0.072 (yesterday's high) → 0.08
Support: 0.050-0.048 → 0.040 → 0.024 (the launch zone)
0.056 is sitting in the middle of yesterday's range, with 20%-30% room in either direction.
Only a daily close above 0.062 and holding it would signal a second leg. A close below 0.048 would end this recovery, with the next levels at 0.040 and possibly 0.024.
With an asset like this, 20%-30% moves in a day are normal. From 0.056 to 0.048 or 0.072 can happen within a few hours.
Longs versus shorts—you decide
On one side:
Up 155% in seven days, with strong short-term momentum
The AI + on-chain application narrative offers long-term imagination
A small float makes it cheap to pump
On the other side:
Funding annualized at 300%, with longs paying heavy taxes
Open interest is falling and price is stagnating; shorts are fleeing, not longs buying
It just crashed 86% in September, leaving overhead resistance packed with trapped holders
No new product, financing, or exchange-listing news
Trading volume far exceeds market cap; this is pure speculation
Trading strategy
This is the midpoint of the pullback, with 0.062 and 0.072 above. Wait for a four-hour close to hold above 0.062 and for funding to fall, then look at 0.072, with the stop-loss moved back below 0.052. While funding remains above 0.1%, halve the size of breakout trades.
Only buy the pullback, and move quickly.
If a long lower wick forms around 0.050-0.048 and selling stops, use an extremely small position to trade a rebound, with a stop-loss below 0.045 and targets at 0.056/0.060. Exit at the target; don't turn it into a trend trade.
Short short-term spikes.
If a rebound to 0.065-0.072 produces a high-volume upper wick and fails to reclaim the level, take a small short, with a stop-loss above 0.076 and targets at 0.056/0.050. Don't try to pick a top at 0.056, and don't hold overnight; wicks can sweep both sides.
Invalidation conditions:
If the daily close falls below 0.048, exit all longs. If there is news of an unlock, a market maker withdrawing liquidity, or exchange risk controls, immediately reduce its weight. Without new product or exchange-listing news, treat everything above 0.072 as a bull trap.
You think you're bottom-fishing, but you're actually paying taxes to shorts who are getting out.
Funding is annualized at 300%, open interest is declining, and price is grinding at highs—this isn't a bull market; it's a slaughterhouse.
Wait for a four-hour close above 0.062 or a break below 0.048 before changing your position. Everything in between is a trap. #OneGate见证计划 ##美国9月非农新增2.9万 #三大Launchpool同步开启 $BTC $ETH $AIN

Ripple has signed an increasing number of banks, transaction volume across its payment network continues to grow, and cross-border settlements keep taking place one after another. And what about the price of XRP? It has fallen from $3.65 in July 2025 all the way to around $1.50 now—a drop of more than 60%. The business is growing, while the token price is falling. You hold XRP, see the news saying “Ripple has signed another major bank,” and think, “This time it should go up, right?” Then the price falls again. Why? Because XRP is only “borrowed” for a few seconds. Bank A converts dollars into XRP, XRP travels across the Ripple network within seconds, and Bank B converts XRP into yen on the other end. Throughout the entire process, XRP may be held for only three to five seconds. Money is moving. But the token is merely passing through. No one actually needs to hold it. Trader Peter Brandt calls it a “fool coin.” According to XRP Academy’s utility valuation model, if XRP is used solely as a bridge asset, its pure utility value is only around $0.0002. Of the $1.50 you pay, most is speculative premium and ecosystem expectations. This is not FUD. It is the scar XRP holders have silently carried for five years. But on October 3, someone put a Band-Aid over that scar. At Korea Blockchain Week in Seoul, Ripple President Monica Long said the following at the XRP Seoul event: “Credit-related pilots are underway, with the goal of going live next year. XRP would be deposited into the liquidity pools of lending protocols and used as collateral to fund customers’ payment obligations.” “Payments, credit, the XRP Ledger, and lending protocols will be connected together.” In plain English: Ripple wants banks to “lock up” XRP rather than merely “pass through” XRP. Don’t get excited just yet. To understand the essence of this, you need to grasp one concept: the velocity problem. In the bridge model, XRP is like the change at a highway toll booth. The money passes through and leaves immediately; you do not need to keep a stack of cash at the toll booth, only enough change to make change. The shorter the time XRP is held, the less of it is needed. So even if the Ripple network processes billions of dollars every day, the price of XRP can still fail to rise. But the credit model is completely different. XRP is deposited into the liquidity pools of lending protocols and locked as collateral for a period of time, providing short-term financing for customers’ payment obligations. Long mentioned that tokenized funds can enable “24/7 collateral access and instant lending.” Under the credit model, XRP is like reserves in a bank vault. It must remain there continuously for the business to operate. From “toll-booth change” to “bank-vault reserves”—this may be the first business design in XRP’s history capable of bringing velocity down from an extremely high level. The utility valuation formula is as follows: price = transaction volume / circulating supply × velocity. The higher the velocity, the lower the price supported by the same transaction volume. The lower the velocity, the higher the price supported by the same transaction volume. Put simply: if XRP is locked up and velocity falls, the same business volume can support a higher token price. Technically, this is moving forward. The XLS-66 lending protocol and XLS-65 single-asset vault framework have already been deployed on the XRPL. The framework works as follows: institutions deposit assets into vaults, borrowers withdraw funds from the pools according to predetermined terms, and the ledger automatically processes repayments—without an intermediary touching the money. More importantly, the XRPL’s XLS-66d lending amendment has already received support from 71.4% of validators, close to the required 80% consensus threshold. Meanwhile, Evernorth—a company holding approximately 473 million XRP—plans to begin trading on Nasdaq on October 8 under the ticker XRPN. The company has publicly stated that once the lending protocol goes live, it will deposit its XRP holdings into vaults and earn income from borrower interest. The code is being deployed, validators are voting, and institutions are lining up. But don’t rush to go all-in. There are three questions here, each of which could derail this narrative: First, is XRP a “necessity”? If institutions can use RLUSD, tokenized U.S. Treasury funds, or other assets as collateral, growth in the credit business would not necessarily create demand to lock up XRP. Only when XRP is a “necessity” rather than an “option” in the credit pools can business growth translate into the token price. Second, will the amount locked be large enough? XRP’s circulating supply is approximately 57 billion tokens. Even if several hundred million dollars’ worth of XRP is locked, that may still represent a very small share of the total circulating supply. The locked amount would need to reach the multi-billion-dollar level to have a perceptible impact on supply and demand. Third, the conflict between the credit cycle and XRP’s volatility. Using a highly volatile asset as collateral for credit means that if the price of XRP falls sharply during the credit cycle, the collateral’s value will shrink, potentially triggering cascading liquidations. This problem has repeatedly emerged in DeFi lending. To be honest, market sentiment is very poor right now. Santiment data shows that the ratio of bullish to bearish comments on XRP has fallen to 0.67, a nearly one-month low. Negative comments about XRP on social platforms significantly outnumber positive ones. Why? Because “institutional adoption progress on the XRPL has failed to be reflected in the token price,” and holders’ patience is being exhausted. XRP is currently trading in a narrow range between $1.48 and $1.51, while the balance of the largest tracked holder remains frozen at 3.9 billion tokens. The price is approaching the apex of a symmetrical triangle on the four-hour chart, with $1.53 as the breakout trigger. Whales are standing by. The community is pessimistic. Has the narrative really changed this time? Viewed over a longer timeline, Monica Long’s remarks in Seoul show that Ripple is attempting a fundamental shift in positioning: Bridge model: XRP is a “transit tool for payments.” Its value proposition is “faster than SWIFT.” Its contribution to holding demand is extremely low. Credit model: XRP is a “productive asset in financial infrastructure.” Its value proposition becomes “holding XRP gives you access to the credit capacity needed to operate a payments business.” At least in theory, this creates sustained demand to lock it up. The former contributes very little to holding demand, while the latter at least theoretically creates sustained demand to lock it up. This may be the first time XRP has had a business design that “locks up the token.” Monica Long’s statement about “connecting payments, credit, the XRP Ledger, and lending protocols” is a blueprint. Between a blueprint and a building lie engineering, regulation, and market validation. The credit business will not officially launch until 2027. Before then, XRP’s price will still be driven mainly by macro sentiment and liquidity, and the transmission chain between Ripple’s business progress and the token price will remain weak. But the direction of this blueprint is right. It finally points to XRP’s core structural weakness. From “faster than SWIFT” to “holding XRP gives you access to credit capacity.” Ripple has finally addressed the core pain point of XRP in its narrative. Whether this story can be delivered will become clear in 2027. But at least for now, XRP holders finally have a reason worth waiting for—not “Ripple has signed another bank,” but “this time, banks need to lock up XRP.”#OneGate见证计划 ##美国9月非农新增2.9万 #三大Launchpool同步开启 ¥$XRP $BTC $ETH .

$ETH /BTC is testing a level that has mattered before.
Similar trendline breakouts in 2017 and 2020 came ahead of strong $ETH outperformance.
Now the pair is approaching that same kind of setup again in 2026.
If this breakout confirms, altcoins could start getting a lot more attention. 🔥

Vlad’s official account followed a meme, and $meme is somehow only worth 14m. It’s clearly free money here. If even a meme followed by Vlad can go to zero, then there’s no point playing on this chain anymore. Not playing the ones officially supported, and playing others, is pointless too. This is the bottom—it’s free money. Buy, hold, travel, and collect the profits.
