Only 16 of 55+ Stocks on @xStocksFi Actually Trade
This single fact reveals a lot about where tokenization is really headed. 🧵

Most xStocks Are Technically Listed But Functionally Dead

Out of over 55 tokenized stocks, more than 45 see zero trades and zero volume.

Big names like P&G, Visa, and AstraZeneca?

Listed, but completely ignored.

Why is this happening?

Crypto Doesn’t Care About “Safe” Stocks
The stocks that do see activity on xStocks are:

- Tesla (TSLAx)
- SPY (S&P 500 ETF)
- Nvidia (NVDAx)
- MicroStrategy (MSTRx)
- Coinbase (COINx)
- GameStop (GME)

What do these have in common?

They’re volatile, have strong narratives, and are culturally relevant within the crypto community.

Crypto Traders Want Momentum, Not Blue Chips
The average crypto trader isn’t interested in P/E ratios or steady dividends.

They’re looking for assets that:

- Move fast
- Are meme-worthy
- Already have crossover appeal

MicroStrategy’s xStock (MSTRx), for example, is pumping because it feels like a crypto-native asset.

Tokenized ≠ Traction
Just putting a stock on-chain doesn’t guarantee anyone will trade it.

The reality:

Product-market fit is emerging

But only for high-volatility, high-narrative names

What’s the Next Step for xStocks?

It’s not about listing more stocks.
It’s about adding more utility to the ones people actually want:

- Liquidity pools (LPs)
- On-chain collateralization
- Native yield opportunities
- DeFi composability

Challenge: Make TSLAx or MSTRx do something ETH can’t.

Final Perspective

Tokenized stocks aren’t for everyone and that’s okay.
But for the crypto-native crowd, the formula is clear:
Give them the right assets, and the right on-chain tools, and they’ll show up.

The truth is I've never been in any top 100 Mindshare rankings, but I've still earned ~$20K from here in the past 7 months.

- KAITO
- PROMPT
- NXPC
- Huma
- Defi
- Infinex
- Newton
- Loud

Of course, compared to the Top Tier people here, that amount isn't worth much. I know there are people who are in 10-20 rankings and even more, but I'm completely fine with that.

Each person has their own abilities, and I'm certainly not the right person for farming all the projects in front of me.

I like to define myself as the type of person who is loyal and focused on certain projects, projects that I truly love and respect for what they're doing.

@Memeland, @OnChainMonkey, @ChimpersHQ, @KaitoAI, @AbstractChain are projects that I will continue to research and write about even if no one cares anymore or they don't appear in any rankings.

For me, what's important isn't just finding motivations to push myself to make more money here, but also being able to truly create value to accompany and support projects specifically and Web3 in general.

Because at the end of the day, it's not just about how much you make. It's about how you make it.

I'm proud that every dollar I've earned has come from doing what I believe in, supporting builders I respect, and staying true to my voice.

You don't need to top the leaderboard to win in InfoFi.
You just need consistency, conviction, and a bit of care for the space you're helping shape.

Play your game. Play it well. The rest will follow.

Everyone says “we’re still early” but this cycle feels different.

Not just because of prices.
But because of what’s actually being built.

No bull run yet.
Still full of skeptics.
But for the first time in a while, we’re seeing real products
with real user
solving real problems.

This isn’t just about hype anymore.
It’s about value.

And if this is the “quiet phase”
I can’t wait to see what happens when it gets loud.

Gm. Happy ATH day

Oh I’m just 1 of 590 people with 23 Abstract Badges
Nothing crazy.
Except Abstract has ~2.5M accounts.
And ~55K daily active users.

So I’m basically a prehistoric monk with diamond skin and XP-coded veins.

Locked in ✳️

CT is so caught up with Pumpfun ICO, InfoFi, and the latest drama that they missed Ordinals absolutely pumping green across the board for 7 days straight.

Sometimes the real moves happen when no one’s looking!

Price goes up → IQ goes up.

Science.

Price goes up → IQ goes up. Science.

Know yourself and know others, and you will win a hundred battles!

In previous posts, we have shared about how to “know others.”

Today, let's continue together about “knowing ourselves” 🧵

---------

There is one thing that I have also experienced, and I still see many friends struggling with is not knowing what to focus on, how to leverage their strengths, and how to clearly name the qualities they possess.

To understand oneself is a process and can involve many different methods. But within the scope of Creator in Web3, this is the way I have done it and found it to resonate with myself ~90%

⇒ I asked chatGPT to analyze my POV based on interaction history in a detailed, clear, and straightforward manner.

Here are the results:

---------

To clarify a bit more about the context, I have been using chatGPT for about 2 years and for quite a few different tasks. Whether in Web3 or Web2, such as information synthesis or learning other skills like Astrology and physiognomy.

However, I clearly separate the different tasks and always double-check the information very carefully when working. I always read back several times and check each small piece of information; I never trust AI 100% and depend on it.

In the Creator Idea post Chapter 2, I also shared that choosing a Niche is not as important as POV. Everyone can read back to gain a more comprehensive and clearer perspective.

I will leave the prompt in the comments.

What does mass adoption actually look like for Chimpers?

Not a vague tweet.
Not another mint.
It’s simpler and much more visible.

It looks like this 👇

—

1. Showbiz stars start flexing it

Not because they’re paid.

Because it looks good on their bag or just feels fun to own.

You see a Chimpers keychain on a celebrity’s phone?

That’s not hype. That’s cultural signal.

—

2. It shows up in retail stores

You’re walking through Target, or a boutique in Tokyo.

And there it is a Chimpers Blind Box on the shelf.

That’s not another CT post.

That’s real-world distribution infrastructure.

—

3. More Web2 brands start collaborating

It started with Kungfu Tea & Molang.

Next could be:

- A fashion label
- A global snack brand
- A toy retailer
- An animated series

Not because it’s trendy. Because the IP stands on its own.

—

4. Social numbers don’t spike, they compound

Steady TikTok growth.

Verified accounts.

Millions of views without giveaways or engagement farming.

That’s real fandom not just noise, but follow-through.

—

5. Web3 holders get rewarded beyond the ecosystem

Not just “utility.”

But early access, airdrop, IRL perks, and digital-physical unlockables.

At some point, the NFT becomes less a picture

and more a passport.

—

That’s what mass adoption looks like.

It’s not loud. It’s not forced.

It’s undeniable. It's Chimp

Finally got a Bullrun win

Not a crazy score, but 2,767 points and a top 630 finish feels good after so many rounds of missing

Still figuring out the patterns, still locking the wrong chains sometimes but slow progress is progress.

Let’s see if I can do better next round 👀

Gm. Art on Bitcoin hits different 🐵🔥

I know some people are running a whole campaign called “hunt Smart Followers.”

It’s like everyone thinks Smart Followers are cheat codes for instant success.

If they don't engage, you just buy expensive furniture.

You don't need 10 SF to be successful.
You need 1 SF who actually cares. The rest are just gimmicks with no function.

Stop chasing badges. Start building trust.
Algorithms see through the power of cosplay.

Everyone out here treating Smart Followers like cheat codes.

If they don’t engage, you just collected expensive furniture.

You don’t need 10 SFs to make it.
You need 1 that actually cares. The rest are just flex with no function.

Stop chasing badges. Start earning trust.
The algorithm sees through the clout cosplay.

KOL round in this cycle is one of the best opportunities to lose money.

- Invest at peak hype
- There are projects holding money after 1 year without TGE
- Raise KOL round then go to Binance alpha at 3x cheaper price
- Split in half or more right after TGE
- No refund mechanism
- Updates become less and less over time

KOL round isn't early access.
It's early liquidation.

My net worth went up, and suddenly I’m a genius again

Everyone talks about wanting "mass adoption" but very few projects are actually starting to do it.

→ Did you know when asked about physical products, Walmart didn't care about the number of NFTs or the floor price of Pudgy Penguins but paid attention to the number of views on Giphy and viral metrics.

That’s why we’re starting to see Web2 brands actively collaborate with Chimpers

- 700M views on GIPHY
- ~2M followers across social media platforms
- Has secured 4 official trademarks protecting their IP
- Launching Blind Box and will soon be available at retailers in the coming months
- Molang, one of the world's most beloved lifestyle character brands, doesn't collaborate with just anyone but chose Chimpers for a collaboration to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

Mass adoption doesn’t start with crypto.

It starts with characters people love, stories they follow, and brands they trust whether they hold NFTs or not.

And right now Chimpers is one of the few actually doing it.

If today were your last day in Web3, what's a memory here that you would never forget?

For me, it was the first time I got scammed.

This guy approached me and said he could sell me a WL from @projectPXN, the most hyped NFT collection at the time.
Although I had some doubts, those were my first days in Web3 and I didn't know anyone else to ask about it.

I lost 2/3 of my capital in Web3 in the first month.

But that was the first and only time I got scammed. Since then, I've seen plenty of others try the same tricks, but I never made the same mistake again (and hopefully never will).

I still think about this from time to time. And recently, I found that guy again.
He's a TikTok creator now. He seems to be doing great. Always smiling. Posting inspirational quotes. Talking about discipline and mindset.

In a weird way, he did teach me something valuable.

Not just about trust, scams, or DYOR.
He taught me that Web3 will quickly harden you, but if you get through the initial hardships, you'll become sharper, tougher, and maybe a little funnier.

So if today is my last day on Web3, I'll be grateful.

Because being scammed is the most emotional onboarding experience I never asked for.
