How to actually get good at DeFi (not just talk about it):
• understand how Ethereum works at a base level
• do basic swaps on Uniswap, lend on Aave
• constantly ask “how does this work under the hood?”
• learn DeFi basics from docs + YouTube (both matter)
Then go deeper:
• AMMs (Uniswap v2/v3, Balancer, Curve)
• liquidity provisioning, impermanent loss
• lending protocols, LTVs, liquidations
• find a liquidity mining campaign (ex: @katana)
• start farming incentives, not narratives
Advanced level:
• tokenomics & emissions
• ve(3,3) if you’re comfortable
• smart contract risks
• MEV, slippage,

Crypto catalysts this week that actually matter: • $UNI -- fee switch + 100M burn vote • $HYPE -- $1B burn vote • $ANON -- new prediction market soon • $ASTER -- emission reduction • $AERO -- expansion to ETH L1 • $SNX -- Infinex + Lighter perps • $AAVE -- internal DAO war •

Explain this to me like I'm wrong: • Stocks at ATHs • Gold at ATHs • Liquidity reversing • Inflation falling • Fed getting dovish • Crypto regulation finally clearing up But higher BTC targets are "delusional"? What's the bear case I'm missing?

Crypto Twitter starter pack:
• “21 yrs old from Dubai”
• “made $400k from airdrops”
• “travelled the world”
• “dream car + dream house”
• “all thanks to crypto”
None of it is real.
But it still farms engagement every time.
Why do we reward this?

There's a weirdly strong correlation between screen time and money in crypto. Every guy I know who was glued to the screen: • answering fast • reacting faster • living in the trenches is rich now. Call it obsession. Call it luck. But it keeps repeating.

Crypto was better when: - it was basically illegal - governments tried to kill it - Bitcoin "died" every month - normies laughed at anyone holding - no presidents cosplaying as pro-crypto - no politicians farming votes - no "regulatory clarity" discourse - no institutions

I'm tired. Like actually tired. Been here since 2022. Not "OG," but I've showed up every day and bought into the vision. Decentralization. Digital gold. A new system. Then 10/10 something snapped. Not price. Faith. It's getting harder to pretend this is still about tech when

Found the real Cooper Flagg printer on @Polymarket and it's not a human. Most people saw one lucky bet. This one shows a system. And it matters because it exposes how edge is actually extracted on prediction markets. What looks unusual (and why it matters): One trader

The brutal truth: most coins won't recover after a year like this. Not because "crypto is dead", because the market is a selection machine. Look at the "future" list that got nuked 80--99%: $MELANIA (-98.76%) $MOVE (-96.14%) $RON (-92.23%) $S / Sonic (-90.54%) $TIA (-90.25%)
