game_for_one

Always found it strange how people in crypto complain about the new games - like it’s beneath them or not “pure” enough.

Since when did the rules matter in a market designed to reward adaptability?
The whole point is to find where the edge is, compete, and stack. Doesn’t matter if it’s memecoins, farm tokens, or new mechanics - if there’s volume, attention, and a clear meta, that is the game.

Fade it out of principle and you’re just choosing to sit out while others stack.

Play the cycle, win chips, rotate back to your base: BTC, USD, whatever. It’s not about liking the game. It’s about playing to win.

Maybe I finally get my Pendle entry.

Hearing some say it’s tougher to make money in this market: too much noise, FOMO, top-blasting, overmanaging

The fix isn’t more trades, it’s better ones. Tighten your focus. Wait for your spots. When they come, size them. That way, you’re not scrambling after every green candle.

With HYPE at ATH have a strong feeling we see a lot more repricing for the small caps + more opportunities on the chain.

Looking to dive in.

What are some interesting projects currently and why.

Onchain bottom... pwease?

Have a feeling we see a Binance meme Spot listing soon, makes sense timing wise. Likely one from the Binance Alpha. Top Picks?

Feel like if Gork launched right now it would got to a few hundred million, likely flip goat. Was one of the better things we saw launch.

More often than not, if you’re seeing steady accumulation in an off-meta asset you’re already positioned in, something’s brewing. The reflex is to take profit - others are going to right?

But if your thesis hasn’t changed.
Pause and ask:
- Who’s accumulating?
- What might they know?
- Why now?
- Is this early rotation, or are you misreading the setup?

Price often leads narrative. Don’t autopilot into exits.

Thought Launchcoin’s PA was reacting to the FUD - then I saw Jonah talked about it. Made more sense.

Praying for Believe’s downfall makes no sense. It’s the only real spark we’ve had onchain in months. If it works, the whole ecosystem benefits.
The token’s literally called Believe - let’s not let that die. Would be a terrible look.

Interesting to watch this market swing back and forth. First, we buy into some shiny new narrative: AI, “real” revenue, or whatever makes this space feel viable and us look smart. Then comes the realization: it’s all a fugazi. So we pivot to memes, because at least memes are honest about being bullshit.

But the high fades, and you’re left holding vapor. So we crawl back toward “real value,” hoping this time it’s different.

Round and round we go up until...

Crime coin because it gives you no dips - no entries.

The strategy I’ve adopted over the past 2–3 months:

1) BTC Longs only - Only at the bottom of clear ranges where there is decent r/r. A few high-conviction trades a a month, max.

2) Spot Swings - Multi-week holds on coins with trending narratives (e.g. RWAs like SYRUP, Stablecoin bill plays like FXS, CRV).

3) Perps Rotation (flavour of the day) - Rare these days, but I’ll take them if there's a clear rotation of the day (e.g. Jellyjelly on start of ICM meta) or a strong news-driven setup (again very few these days).

The rest of my time is spent onchain.

Market’s changed, so has my approach. But my edge hasn’t: spotting narratives and catalysts early. Onchain isn’t that different - fewer counterparties, more transparency if you know how to read the chain and have a solid setup (both your tooling and your discussion circles).

When it’s hot, onchain still feels the closest we’ve gotten to a real “alt season” in ‘24/‘25. Makes sense: liquidity needed to move things is lower, and the tooling has leveled up. It actually feels like a market again.

Onchain nowadays is mostly about being good at trend detection.

You’re not pricing current value - you’re front-running belief. It’s about catching the reflexive loop before it becomes obvious.

Key questions:
1) Is this a fad or something sticky? (Hold vs flip)
2) Am I still early in the value-attention gap?
3) Is there real cult/community energy or just passing noise?
4) How easily will others latch on: KOLs, founders (of the project chain), maybe some Web2 players? (basic 2nd order thinking)

The hardest part for most is 1:
The struggle to tell if it’s a fleeting fad or the start of a real trend.
Do you over-believe? Over-position?
That call shapes everything: your size, your conviction, and whether you can DCA or need to babysit it.
If you really think about it few plays this cycle have actually walked that line.

Let’s see if this art coin has that Fwog type energy…

Only one logical coin left to buy onchain - since everything else is so Useless.

BTC’s right back where it was yesterday. That’s the cue to start forecasting ridiculous downside targets and rotating everything into “revenue-generating” protocols.

These markets never change.
