IRL

lm19891

The IRL efforts are huge, and show that a lot of people are committed to this brand for the long haul. Kendu is not some pump and dump. Kendu is a community committed to building something huge over the coming years. Major repricing will happen soon.

phi_curious

If we want the future to be mass adoption the IRL has to be the future. The majority of people live their lives offline and will not start getting involved in crypto if we are not reaching out to them. It is that simple.

damianoko31

Yeah I know. But I do my own research and I have emergency account and all this things and everyone I know IRL tell me how dump I'm if I want BTC so I ask here first and than buy btc

damianoko31

Yeah why not. Everyone I know IRL saying it's a bad idea and how dump I'm even to do stock's. So I do my research and as a last thing before I buy it I ask about it right here ✌️

> If the market cap catches up to silver, we will have overhot the 200k mark (: I'd like to see this happen. I'm tired of my silverbug friends IRL looking like Nostradamus while my "money of the future" trades like hot garbage.

>the total value. >Obviously when btc was trading in pennies, the low psychological barriers to price movement allowed higher % fluctuations. > As the relative value of btc to usd increased, it was still volatile, yes, but also it was not widely understood or adopted. > As the value has climbed to much higher levels, volatility has slowed. We havent seen a 90% drawdown, nor a 2100% rise. This is exactly why BTC is a bad investment, especially at these levels. The upside is extremely limited, but the downside risk is enormous. Also, we're in the first few months of the bear market and BTC already plummeted by 40%. It's an over bloated $2T market cap asset, which has no use case IRL. >We have lost 90% purchasing power of the dollar since 71. That's literally a widespread commonly.known fact. Very easy to verify so if you cant accept that, this isnt a good faith argument. That's completely irrelevant to BTC. Yeah, Inflation is a thing that exists, Bitcoin doesn't fix that.

AKBonesaw

I don’t doubt what was said about most people not able to have the conviction to hold them or it being unreasonable to think they would have invested them long term being the most likely outcome. However for context, nearly all of these guys were single or just dating with no kids at the time. Also I was, and still am, a fucking BTC maxi who was trying my best to help them not blow all their money on cigs, beer and eating out and encourage them to put something aside. I led all these people to the spring and not one of them drank from it. I don’t really try to help people out IRL in this way anymore.

Innercapital89

Agree and great point. If you want to go trading you should ask yourself: what is my edge in trading against the big players and professionals. Strongest communities. I think you should check for communities that keep on pushing no matter how the market is, good or bad. Communities that are pushing into IRL stuff. Check if a community has a high level of face doxing. This creates some public responsibility instead of scammers who are just sitting behind a anonymous account. Imo the community is the main driver of all great projects. Even BTC. You know the videos in the old days where some people gave presentations in front of almost and empty rooms. They didn't care. The just believed in the project, they kept believing, pushing, creating and were willing to connect their identity with it.

You don’t even imagine how easy it is to lose 2M gambling. Maybe IRL casino is different, but when you can do 100k blackjack hands without any restrictions or 1000-5000$ a spin slots, it gets down really fast.

HumblestofBears

There are so many bots and fudders on Reddit, but the thing about Kennedy is the people who are posting have been bullish and working and building beyond just one pump cycle. They believe. They know what is possible with this team of holders and workers and IRL branding opportunities.  It’s not a fly by night pump and dump. It’s a cultural force on the brink of global domination.

Petouche

Wealth concentration has a lot of negative consequences IRL. I don't see why it would be different with BTC.

OCPetrus

That's true, but if you aren't ultra rich how much are you interested in preparing for a life in another country? And even if you are, you're more likely to stock on supplies and skills. The sovereign citizen lifestyle just isn't something most are interested in. On the internet it gets a lot of exposure, but IRL not so much.

Astropin

I don't know anyone IRL that holds any crypto. But then again I stopped talking about it around 2019. Some family and relatives have some...but they haven't lost anything.

Amber_Sam

In the past few years, **over 99% of my Bitcoin transactions** are over r/TheLightningNetwork. It has **more nodes than ANY "decentralized" shitcoin** out there. You can use it for payments in **more places than any shitcoin** out there. **Successful for sure.** Can you elaborate why exactly do you think it's disappointing? Are there other solutions? Yes. Ark promises even more although I've never been able to use it IRL. The same goes for r/RGB. For now, and possibly for a long time, I'm LN Maxi.

machoman1214

Patience stat maxed out before any other IRL virtue. That is my best guess.

whitehotpro

I tried making it IRL but got concussed from too many swan dives into the coffee table

TheTrainee2014

The only reason I want it is that seems rising all 3-5 years to new ATHs and could make me more money. Nothing Idealistic, nothing mysterious. Just more money to buy IRL assets Like real estate.

phallicpunch

Big yup to Bitrefill. I usually just get Amazon gift cards & from there buy pretty much any nonfood item I need/want. For food stuff I go for Instacart, Uber, Door Dash & a bunch more. Cherry on top is Steam cards if they’re in stock. Defi puts food on the table & helps me save my IRL money.

MariachiArchery

Speculating for sure, I hold VET and POL. I thought they had potential for sure. I took a risk. *However*, against my BTC and ETH bags, they were less than 1% of my crypto portfolio. Against my IRL portfolio, *way* less. Literal moonshots. Unfortunately for OP, this looks to be everything. $28,000 into IOTA is wild with an $88k net worth. What I've learned from this sub over the years (since like 2017), is that unless we are talking about ETH or BTC, we are talking about literal penny stocks. Remember Waltonchain? Shit, this sub shilled fucking Bitconnect and Luna/Terra Labs. Yeah, when I see this sub get all bricked up about a project, it's a pretty good bet the only thing it's got going is hype.

shaggadally

Yeah it does unfortunately. In this sub and IRL. I have coworkers who only talk about Bitcoin and they regularly try to orange-pill other employees. If I wasn‘t as convicted of Bitcoins fundamentals as I am, I would have sold because of this cultiness.

Potlimitcrypto

I think down market is an understatement. 😅 What memes and alts are going through right now is akin to the very depths of a bear market, only with lower social interest than the 2022 lows. But your post is absolutely correct. This is where legends are formed. I see Kendu as very similar to Floki. It was "dead" and fudded to death for 2+ years but the team kept building and delivering and the following cycle it surpassed $2b mc. I see the same level of dedication and activity in Kendu now. Anyone looking in from the outside can see how much output the project has, IRL businesses, initiatives, products, all led by the community. People grossly underestimate what's possible in this industry with the right ingredients in the right market, being able to spot the ingredients now is the most important part. These levels are ideal for getting a decent position and getting involved for the next run. FYI $2b is a 399x from here. Even if it takes years... That level of wealth gain is beyond what anyone could possibly hope for, completely lifechanging even for small investors, and it is possible ONLY with a small handful of projects of which Kendu is #1.

And it's impossible for gold to back IRL transactions. Its physical properties require debt instruments, and encourage dilution/inflation; which always ends in the mess the USD is in today. For OP: Lightning, FEDI, Cashu/eCash layer two solutions are already more performant, give superior finality, and privacy than fiat Credit card networks.

Crystal_Smitha

This. I keep my “visible” KYC coins and my more private stack separated at the wallet level. Day-to-day I just use a small non-custodial app (gem wallet) for normal sends and lightning-sized amounts. The big stuff is in a setup that physically can’t be accessed in one sitting. Between that and not telling people IRL what I hold, the wrench risk drops a lot.

I second this whole heartedly, you get one life. There’s plenty of people that want to know you but you have to get out of the house. Join a gaming club IRL (as in board games), or some other in person thing. Find your people, even if it’s uncomfortable. Have awkward conversations with strangers, daily!

Ok_Structure_5415

Kendu hosts events IRL, thats bullish I love the new kendu unleashed initiative

EggMedical3514

think it is very important just to learn how Bitcoin seeds and wallets work. Just go to Iancoleman.io/bip39/ and play around with it. Generate a 12 or 24 word seed and look at the addresses that are derived. Then add a passphrase and look how the addresses have changed.  Put the seed + passphrase into a "legacy" sparrow wallet on your PC and see how the addresses it generates are the same as the derived addresses on the ian coleman website. Then repeat the process when an entirely different wallet on your PC. Blue, or electrum, etc. See how the addresses they generate are the same as the derived addresses on the ian coleman website. Then grab the "account extended public key" from the website and stick it into a sparrow wallet "watch-only" wallet on your PC and see how the addresses it generates are the same as the derived addresses on the website. Repeat the process with other wallets. These little exercises will get you comfortable with seeds and passphrases and drive into you that Bitcoin and the blockchain are independent of the hardware or software that you are using. I wish someone had told me this stuff when I first started out. P.S. MAKE SURE TO NEVER USE ANY OF THESE SEEDS IRL. To use this website to generate your actual seed involves an offline process that you can learn about later.

Yeah 99,9% is shit but people indeed use it IRL for a lot of tech-related stuff. Also IMO the Crypto that has the most value which is BTC is more of a reserve of value than to be used instead- like how you would hold gold but instead use copper or bronze ( shitcoins or fiat ) to buy stuff .

It means that they'll **fear** missing out (fomo) when price reaches ATH again and jump in at a wrong time. It usually also means they'll wait for a set target price of re-entry and **fear** coming back in too soon, or too late. Timing re entry and exit, means they'll have 2 potential points of failure. The number of people, who exited at a lucky time but never came back in, or tried to time re entry and failed is vastly more important than the lucky ones. I personally witnessed this online and IRL countless times across the years.

>At the same time my understanding seems like TRX really benefits from transferring stable coins like USDT which a lot of people in developed countries don’t understand the market for that.

Pineapple-crypto

Great question - the partnership and token design were both built to create real mutual utility, not just marketing alignment. The core reason is shared infrastructure and shared vision: - MotionDEV brings DeSci + verifiable human performance data on-chain (sensors, AI models, data validation, research partners like Harvard, Google ecosystem signals, etc.) - Pineapple brings distribution, community, and Web3 utility rails (DEX, launchpad, staking economy, burn mechanisms, and an active token-holding community) Instead of building separately and competing for attention, we combine strengths: - MotionDEV gets real users, capital, bootstrap liquidity, and an aligned community on day one. - Pineapple expands into real-world DeSci, performance data, and wearable tech: a category bigger than pure DeFi, unlocking new user types beyond traders. In short: MotionDEV gets an economy. Pineapple gets real-world adoption. And your question around benefits of holding/staking, it's about access, influence, and upside: - Guaranteed whitelist allocations on Pineapple Express launches (like MDEV) - Priority and boosted allocations based on tier (Inner Circle, Penthouse Elite, etc.) - Eligibility for Burn2Access mechanics (burn PAPPLE to earn early MDEV) - Reduced fees and benefits across Pineapple products (DEX, launchpad, future modules) - Exclusive community access (gated groups, drops, IRL activations) - Future governance and ecosystem influence So PAPPLE stakers aren’t passive holders - they’re active participants in every launch the ecosystem produces. Very proud that MotionDEV is our first - we couldn't have started with a better project for our flagship launch!

Congrats! I'm still not sure how the tax business works with BTC, (time of acquisition, time of conversion, etc. But you may be able to hold off taxes by rolling into a tax deferred or exempt instrument like a 401k or some such thing (I'm not an accountant nor am I giving you advice, but if I just "found" that kind of money, I would be looking into that immediately myself) Best wishes! Good luck with whatever you decide to do! Be careful who you tell about this too (obviously) IRL

That’s where the online surveillance state a future Identification processes come into play. You might still get away with these types of transactions, but there is a spiderweb encircling everyone in the form of Online IDs and advanced tracking systems both IRL and on the net. That web is slowly closing in on all of us, and nobody really seems to care. I see rules that restrict alternative forms of wealth like this as something similar to restricting travel within a communist country. It’s about controlling the populace.

I think there is a premium but most of the safe ways to sell it (ie vetted auction) take a cut that makes it not worth it vs just redeeming the coin. Also depending on where you live, going direct to BTC may be tax beneficial. If you know someone IRL who will take it off your hands as is, a small premium would be appropriate.

I find particularly relevant what the KENDU Entertainment, Streets, and Unleashed teams are doing IRL to support the idea of POH (nice new acronym). Kendu Entertainment has been organizing night club events for almost two years, even way earlier than the idea of the Kendu brand became something. Kendu Streets have made so many murals already and promoted the project in music festivals. And Kendu Unleashed is now what it seems to be, in combination with Kendu Energy, the next Red Bull.

What you need to do is to stop ‘talking with someone’ online for any form of financial as vice who you don’t actually know IRL. Sorry for the loss mate.

MFSkunk17

These are the times that are going to reward memecoin communities with the long term in mind. Where there is structure and real, meaningful community connections, long term projects will thrive. And as a result investors, not traders looking for the next hot item, will invest. Kendu is positioned perfectly as it's had the long term in mind from the beginning and doesn't depend on huge marketing budgets, influencers or hype to get ahead. The culture is to put the responsibility on holders to build out the project and bring awareness and it's worked beautifully: Kendu holders hold longer, work harder and collaborate more than any other project. In bear markets and turbulent times, you want community stability, a hard work culture and varied avenues of growth, which Kendu has in spades. 20+ holder-led Kendu-branded businesses and counting! During the bull run, you want a project that stands out with IRL and online initiatives and instant brand recognition, which Kendu has and is building upon. There are truly no downsides to keeping some Kendu in your back pocket. The scalability potential is just absolutely massive. And the tg is a great place to be too ;)

I mean, you made a good bit of money and it helped you IRL. Why not repeat the process? Sell anything you can, or just dump paychecks into BTC in a responsible manner.

ihavescouredthenet

most who bought at that position were also playing with the first alt coins, leveraging, or swing trading.... shit, i have somewhere a ton of offline BTC engraved on rocks, paper wallets, gifts i gave to family during xmas im sure nobody secured, just because "learning blockchain tech" was the thing to do back then the big three were BTC, ETH, and LTC, and then a whole A tier suite of altcoins.. some incentives were there to hold certain altcoins with utility (MCO, other cryptos that would be used IRL on debit cards) alt booms against BTC were a main reason to not just HODL BTC... early DOGE adopters saw this and continued year after year exploiting this whale pools would trade together and signal 30-1000% runs, sometimes lasting seconds or minutes, signing off and mentioning what you were sleeping in (fiat or coin, and what type of price alarms and limit buys/sells you had set) was the norm, you never slept, 30% swings daily in the major coins, it was wild west for sure

yep, not just our IRL efforts but our social media efforts are also unmatched... Just like at our Reddit presence

Yoo, that IRL effort list is HUGE 👀

IRL he’s the atrocity

XRP is the definition of a pyramid scheme,where the founding team consistently sell XRP and simultaneously inflate the circulating supply (which is huge already), thus constantly surpressing theprice. No bank or reputable institution uses their ledger IRL, the only thing it has going for it is the paid influencers and a cult like community which shill constant nonsense packed as "facts" and "progress". So you tell me, is it 🧢 ?

Lexsteel11

Yeah this sub makes people think it’s reached mass adoption but while people ask me about bitcoin all the time, I only know 2 people IRL who hold btc

PoisonWaffle3

I know probably about 50 Bitcoiners IRL, and most of them are from meetups. But also about 10 coworkers/friends and five family members.

i mean yes im biased but this really is a great opportunity to get an entry at these levels. I vividly remember how common of a sentiment it was that people wished they had gotten in earlier when we were sailing to all time highs. Here we are, at a massive discount with a more clear vision that still builds off what made us great to begin with; community over all, but with more emphasis on real life expansion and brand growth. to add, It's an even better opportunity now because we've shed loads of dead weight and short term whale wallets. Distribution is amazing, holder count has continued to go up, IRL presence is great, and conviction is as high as its ever been. as long as the community stays grinding, there are no limits to what we kendu.

people are stupid and post stupid shit that's inaccurate to the data on hand...... Also here is a chart showing a specific example of stupid people IRL. The inability to understand exponents is the core issue for many problems. We learn about exponents,but few to none us really comprehend them.

Volatility exists because it's not used for current daily exchanges IRL; it's volatile because its main use today is speculative, and speculation thrives on volatility. In the past, it was volatile because its primary use was for criminal and geopolitical activities, which are inherently unstable. The moment you start using it in everyday transactions, it stabilises because the bulk of exchanges vary little. Being decentralised or not has nothing to do with it. It's a different story to be able to replace a current currency purely for the TPS and fees of current BTC. As of today, I don't know how many cryptocurrencies have sustainable TPS and fees to buy a coffee...

I got into CC in LATE 2013 by learning how to mine DOGE. I have my Josh Wise NASCAR and scars from DOGETIPBOT on this very site. But as someone who would hibernate through the "WINTER" after black swans like we saw last week...I rarely could ever keep up. A new bull run would fire off, I'd come back and not know shit about anything meta or even tech wise. I come back in 2017, people are buying cat jpegs, and tracking Mark Cuban..Gas is $400 and I have NO IDEA WTF IS GOING ON SO in 2022 I said not today, and I have stayed connected via this site, and X. I don't chase meta but I follow it. I know what projects stayed building during the "dead" era...And I know which ones will continue to do so now. But at the same time, I have finally advanced myself in the space by doing so too. In the deeps of 2024's crypto winter I launched my own NFT collection (Digital Art is my 9-5 so NFTs really got my attention) so I learned how to compile a generative collection and get it on chain. The support I received turned the project into my full focus outside of BORING art I do for a paycheck IRL. Humbled me more than anything to this day tbh. Now im building on it, and have advanced into writing smart contracts in RUST to grow it. I'm having a blast on my dev arc too. **TLDR;** A lot of good can come from the bad times if you put your energy into the right places during these times. You get to see which teams you believed in were actually working or just traveling to conferences and paying Market Makers...

Easy, KENDU. \- The project offers tangible value proposition with multiple business initiatives by the community. \- It's not based on a void narrative. \- A Certik audit was obtained for free thanks to 50k votes made by the community over months. \- We have one of the most active communities on social media and IRL. Check out r/KenduInu_Ecosystem and join our TG.

And OP sees this comment too. But he's too hell bent on internet up votes to either edit this, apologize or delete the entire thread. Some ppl need notifications on their phone because they're so lonely IRL lol.

OP I am so sorry to hear this. I am devastated for you aunt, can’t imagine what’s she’s going through. If you don’t end up finding a suitable crypto lawyer let me know and I can ask the one I know IRL. Thankfully if this person was indeed working at the bank, there are some actions that can be taken here. So awful this individual used your aunt like this though. Just terrible.

ProofOfSheilaComics

I’ve stopped talking about it IRL and started drawing comics to educate people. If you talk about it IRL it’s sort of a safety issue, you can sound crazy or a conspiracy theorist. Proof of Sheila is a good balance. It lets me get the word out in an original way, lets me get all the “I want to talk about Bitcoin” jiggles out, and lets me avoid the risks above.

Anyone care to critique a strategy I am thinking of deploying? I have held ETH since the early days, and I am ready to use it as collateral to get some cash to do some projects around the house. With the yield options available on Defi, I think I'd like to use yield to pay it off rather than my income. So here's what I'm thinking: Use AAVE with ETH as my collateral, borrowing USDC. I will deposit 75 ETH and take a loan of 60,000 USDC - that's a LTV today of \~17%. I will take $20k of the USDC and use it for IRL purposes. I will then use the remaining 40k USDC to generate yield to pay off the load. Current borrow rates on AAVE for USDC are \~5.5% APY. So to pay off the loan with yield generated by the USDC, I need to average \~8.25% yield. I think I will use the Morpho MEV Capital vault for approximately 20k of the USDC. From there, I am contemplating bridging the remaining 20k USDC to the Solana Network and utilizing some Vaults on Drift that seem to be performing better. What I am having trouble with is understanding the risks of having USDC on Solana vs on the Ethereum network, and how realistic it is to expect the yields to continue at their current levels. I am not opposed to active in managing this. I do understand that due to the lockup mechanisms in certain vaults, if things start to go south I may not be able to rescue the funds before the bottom drops out, hence the somewhat diversified strategy. Ideally I would withdraw a portion of my earnings on Morph and Drift monthly and pay down my loan on AAVE, basically like a monthly payment on a tradfi loan. Am I missing anything here? My priorities are to preserve my original ETH holdings but access a relatively small amount of liquidity to make my life easier. If there is a simpler strategy, I'm all ears.

Best financial decision of your life, you'll see. Just give it time. Don't tell people IRL.

Kendu is truly something different. When I say it's truly different I meant not only in memecoin/ web 3 space. But also in IRL/Web2 Space. It's an investment asset, it's a platform to pursue your passions, start your own business, it's a global digital marketing agency, it's also gives ready made customers for your businesses and its sustainable! Of course price is not reflecting right now , but if you are someone who understands crypto markets, you know everything can change in a matter of days!

hectorgorgonzolas

The most important factor is that the underlying technology hasn’t made a lick of progress. There is no IRL use case. There is no adoption. No one is any closer to solving the trilemma. If the tech looked attractive there would be more investors and speculators. As things stand, I’m not sure the market sees much of a future for blockchains beyond Bitcoin.

Here's how spending bitcoin IRL looks like: https://youtu.be/Tlhvnpi2ukA I'm using Bitcoin almost on a daily basis. Buying groceries, paying for meals, taxis, domains/hosting, VPN... Spend and replace is usually the name of the game so no, I'm not spending bitcoin while saving in cash. If you're thinking about spending some, here are my favorite directories: http://lightningnetworkstores.com/ https://btcmap.org - awesome map, you can even add your local vendors in, once you orangepill them. https://acceptlightning.com/list.html https://spendabit.co/ https://directory.btcpayserver.org/ There's also an option of buying gift cards https://thebitcoincompany.com/ https://bitrefill.com https://www.egifter.com/buy-gift-cards-with-bitcoin - this one's least fave because they use a shitty custodian for payments but are handy for a few cards. Spend and earn some sats back: https://foldapp.com - save up to 20% Starbucks, Uber, Target , whole foods , Dunkin https://www.lolli.com – save up to 30% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily USA stores https://satsback.com/stores-list - save up to 20% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily Europe stores.

literally this is just the start. there is so much inherent value in Kendu that these levels are basically a 99% discount. this isn't a project that is carried by simply believing in success, we actually work to make success a certainty. whether it's online presence, community engagement, irl products/businesses/events, security audits, or anything else that you outline in the post, Kendu is actually DUING things. as we continue to climb higher it will be so obvious in hindsight that Kendu was destined to become a top echelon project in the crypto (or even IRL) realm.

Bro didn’t disappear, he just hit the ultimate IRL HODL.

DeusoftheWired

> There is no “statistically best day” to sell. There is. I think what you mean is that the statistically/historically best day isn’t necessarily the best day IRL for each year. I’m aware there will be a deviation between statistical data and the prices of October 2025.

duspel-sol

Totally agree, always good to take profit at this stage of the cycle, these funds can later be used for either IRL spendings or scooping alts at discounted prices later.
