IRL

mrjune2040

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 ;)

greckzero

But Ive never seen, either on digital or IRL establishment that works or accept payment in bitcoin.

mrjune2040

Yeah, I used another exchange around that time so never used MtGox–but every other crypto person I knew IRL did and they all had varying degrees of losses. I’m pretty sure they’re happy with the way it worked out in the end—congrats on the unintentional hold!

DirtyThirtyDrifter

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

Expert-Detective-525

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

Ok_Structure_5415

Yoo, that IRL effort list is HUGE 👀

restore_democracy

IRL he’s the atrocity

Arijan101

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.

Careless_Pay_2741

Telegram group mini market community and  meet IRL, thats how i buy in serbia

RegardedQt314

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.

LankyRep7

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.

xte2

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...

nihilum_00

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.

D0UNEN

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.

TapUboolu

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.

AcademicRock2494

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.

pennyPete

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

Miserable_Coffee_362

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.

Amber_Sam

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.

RegardedQt314

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.

United-Consequence47

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.

Ok_Structure_5415

What matters is what you are building, and KENDU stands out the most with IRL presence and all the business

toekneema

Spx6900, there's a podcast run by ex Wall street guys @FlipTheStockMarket on twitter/YouTube. And there's books and IRL raids and vids.

Status-Nose-7173

I'm assuming he's an XRP maxi lol. I'm going to send this to a guy I know IRL who wouldn't shut up about XRP.

CuriousGeorge22_02

The only reason why I'm still poor IRL and doing really good in crypto terms

Excellent_Cook4897

Haha if only it worked that way 😂. Sadly we don’t get respawns IRL… which is why I keep stressing about what happens to my coins if I’m gone. Do you think about that at all, or just let it be?

SnooConfections6605

The Kendu community is one of a kind.  The  permissionless brand aspect gives kendu long term stability even in a volatile market as community members constantly use their IRL skills/talents to build the kendu brand. I’m super bullish on kendu! 

002_timmy

Because this is just funny and an IRL shitpost

mrjune2040

If you're gaming points you have to understand that you're essentially just cheap labor from the product itself. Your engagement helps create the illusion of positive user metrics which can be used for further funding raises IRL, and drives hyper for short-term price speculation (or as long enough as it takes for insiders, early investors, and the team to exit). Points/pointless, it doesn't really matter- it's all just a form of labor and you have to decide if that hourly wage makes sense for you. The only truth in crypto is the same as traditional finance - money makes money. In crypto terms the more on-chain funds that you have, the more free/easy tokens you're given. My fork/airdrop gains since the mid-2010's is probably 100-150k at this point and my activity is all passive/holding. And conversely, when starting from low/no capital, just as in real life you're going to be acting as the labor for others, where the return is ultimately going to be cents on the dollar. Imo the days of free/easy money I'm crypto are mostly behind. And as the endless stream of L2's and bridges nears saturation point and the market cools then it's just going to be diminishing returns.

Neat_Information_131

I’ve never seen one of these IRL. How does it work? Do you get a piece of paper with a seed phrase on it? Does it generate a wallet for you, or do you have to have a wallet before you can make a purchase?

Appropriate-Talk-735

Many pics it looks too much bronze or too light. I suggest you check it IRL first.

Plenty of memecoins / digital communities are doing things IRL. APU, Brett, SPX6900, etc.

yvthousands

Lol I suspect it too. And I 100% agree with you that those that happen to be successful may morph and evolve over time into something completely different, some building products, some building business IRL, some investing, some operating as foundations and who knows what. Ultimately these could really be mini network "states"

Medium_Change4574

>I guess everyone is too deep into shitcoins. Exactly. I am too. Sometimes it's really tough so I don't blame those who whine about the market here and then. Of course it's everyone's own fault but I think many don't have anyone to talk about finances and investments IRL, here we can cry out loud lol

Expert-Detective-525

thing is there's gonna be so much more at those higher levels, imagine when the average holder has an insane amount of money to invest into their own IRL initiatives, there's gonna be a tidal wave

Expert-Detective-525

Kendu is bridging IRL with crypto and this hasn't been done before, at least on this scale. I can see many business owners who may not even be in crypto start to innovate under the Kendu umbrella

TheGDC33

There is a long list of IRL initiatives/businesses. Each is at a very different stage of development. Once you research and learn which ones are close to putting buy pressure on the chart and which are already buyijg the chart the Kendu picture becomes clearer

Villavillacoola

this is why I don’t talk about Bitcoin IRL. Shit like this is so fucking stupid.

xte2

In mere tech terms: - TPS are at the center if you plan to be a real currency - be totally decentralized and FLOSS is needed for trust reasons - fees need to compensate network costs, that's often ignored but that's the main node of being economically viable: we do not need to profit from running a node, but we need not to loose (except in limited risk terms of running something new of course) - deflactionary vs inflactionary does not count much in technical terms, even in economical terms the value of money is meaningless, they are bit not paper, we can buy a glass with 1 tera-something or pico-something it's a matter of measure, the value is not the currency but what you exchange for it, the point of deflactionary is that you buy the little you can because in every future you'll been able to buy more with the same amount of money, while in inflactionary you buy as much as you can because tomorrow you need more money than today for anything. To have an economically sustainable model we need nor the former nor the latter. We need balance, sometimes we need to push the economy sometimes to tighten it. So a flexible supply with the ability to also reduce the monetary base is needed. And yes, it's not simple. You can balance only IRL, tying money supply to natural resources availability and the governance of such system is really hard. > In your opinion, are Bitcoin and Ethereum overrated or “inferior”, based on the above? IMVHO no one of them could be used as a real world currencies but both pioneering something we must do, so for now they are speculative risky assets with something behind, in the future there will be something else.

Mike-Teevee

This. Women bitcoin hodlers are quiet about it IRL and don’t attempt to convert others. Dudes post here every day about the chilly or condescending reaction they get when trying to encourage others to choose Bitcoin. It’s ten times worse for women. Who goes to women for financial advice, even successful women? No matter. We mind our business and invest wisely. And online in these spaces where we can talk about it anonymously everyone assumes everyone is male.

Zelulose

Yall were so set on censoring people who talked about coins like nano, hathor, shimmer etc... well you guys wont and tanked the coins. But guess what! It was so toxic everyone left crypto entirely. It is a ghost town IRL for crypto. We all go down together I guess.

0xWilliama

here's why it's still a valid security feature - putting aside OTC deals, the major way for anyone to off-ramp their crypto right now is via CEX (centralized exchanges). if someone happens to commit a crime on-chain and then moves the funds to a CEX to convert to cash, the recorded transactions on the ledger will leave a trail for investigators to follow. once they pin down the deposit address and the CEX it was deposited into, it's just a matter of asking the CEX to provide the person's KYC data. why do we care if transactions can be looked up? it allows us to verify that a transaction happened even if we don't know who did it. e.g. an undoxxed individual wants to make a donation but doesn't want anyone to know his IRL identity. the blockchain allows him to do that and still provides a means for people to verify that he did the volunteering without exposing his identity.

MFSkunk17

Oh man. The deep dive is where Kendu shines. At its core, it's a fully community-driven brandcoin and the first of its kind. Yes, we coined "brandcoin" before everyone started talking about it lol so what does being an organic community-driven get you? Apart from the confidence that there are no cabals, insider groups, airdrops, bots, VCs pulling strings or chart manipulation, it gets you plenty. First, the community effort is truly unmatched. For our community, smashing on socials is the bare minimum. A huge portion of the core community is much more personally invested with starting Kendu businesses, holders launching Kendu products (like energy drinks, beer, merch, vending machines, +16 more), and using their skills and connections to spread awareness even further. A AAA game developer is creating a Kendu game, we have Kendu hosted/sponsored events, and much much more all feeding percentages of profits back into the chart. Kendu also has insane distribution (one of the very best in the space among established projects), an HHI of <30 which is just unheard of. This distribution also happens to be held by those who believe in the project, with 67% of bought tokens not moving for more than a year. These two points would be reason enough to buy in but I'll continue :) All this effort without results would be pointless right? However, we have a lot to show! Our efforts have gotten the attention of several (unpaid) KOLs who give regular shoutouts, we just won the BoostmeCMC competition this past week, we more than tripled holders since ATH, and have regular mentions, features and interviews from large players in the space. Not to mention the free CertiK audit we got from accumulating 50k daily votes over the course of several months. Anything requiring community effort, Kendu just dominates. Not to mention we're appearing on an episode of The Crypto Radio (with 60-80k regular listeners) soon! The key focus here, and a huge plus for larger investors, is proof of humanity. Investors are more skeptical than ever when it comes to projects that claim large, involved communities. Kendu's community focus, IRL activity and organic philosophy are exactly what the new school of investors are looking for as far as projects that stand out and are in it for the long haul. That's the tip of the iceberg for Kendu. We'd love to see you in the telegram though! This is just one dude's effort at 3am but it's important to show curious potential holders how much this project means to us. Feel free to check if this has been copypasta'd, I assure you it hasn't :)

BuzzerWhirr

I assume the IRL picture is the day trader exchanging emails with their divorce attorney from a bed in a rehab clinic.

nihilum_00

The holder growth in the last months is significant. I have the feeling that people are starting to appreciate the IRL efforts KENDU is putting into the space.

TheGDC33

Really agree, the reality many don't realize is you can't start a coin and profess to have a strong community. One has to be formed through shared belief, but also thru adversity. When people persevere and end up sticking around then one can profess to have a strong community. Kendu went thru plenty of challenges and yet the numbers for Kendu posts on X went up. The number of article on Reddit went up. The number of posts on Stocktwits and amount of times we trended went up. Put all this together with the every expanding list of IRL things and the writing on the wall is clear that Kendu is positioned perfectly for massive run which is why so many of us du what we du

Expert-Detective-525

I joined in June 2024 just after the ATH, I can confidently say that the Kendu community gets stronger daily whether that be IRL efforts or social media efforts. Just the sheer amount of progress made in August(one of the slowest months) is far more than 99.99% of projects will ever manage

Expert-Detective-525

Kendu's HHI is below 27 btw, we have over 20 IRL projects and holders are literally mooning

MFSkunk17

Just like how the term "Brandcoin" that everyone latched onto started with Kendu, this emerging "Proof of Humanity" term is going to be the next big indicator of community strength and longevity. Long form posts/reports, IRL projects, self-reported health metrics HHI/engagement metrics from community members and a real commitment to holder-propelled branding initiatives will be the new standard for serious projects, just as Kendu has been doing. By the time everyone catches on, Kendu will already be 10 steps ahead.

Ok-Bread-6774

The mask + Webtoon combo could get wild. Imagine seeing the character from the comic show up IRL at events. 

p0tatemoon

Sadly this cycle is like a bot cycle because of how many coins there are Once in a while you might find a project with members getting involved IRL That project might be Kendu. I would say that a quick research is definitely worth your time

RegardedQt314

presence both IRL and online is really what sets Kendu apart, that and the culture of self autonomy and realizing that your contributions can have meaningful impacts on the project. the KENDU standard is something all communities should look to strive for if we want crypto to be more accepted by the general public. We Kendu It 🕊️

Poindexter2291

My personal opinion - this is not the place to ask for financial advice. A huge chunk of people who are interested in bitcoin are only interested in "fast gains." Most of the people IRL that I have heard talk about crypto are terrible with money (which explains why they want to put all their money in crypto).

Green_Candler

you will be surprised by how many people want to talk about Bitcoin IRL... you can see a surge of searches for bitcoin on google and that is directly proportional to the number of people interested in bitcoin... while most would prefer to do this online, there are some people who would appreciate being explained to by humans... especially the elderly who dont use the internet as much and have funds to save...

Muhaisin35

The RAWW mask IRL videos are about to take the meme culture to another level. imagine ppl pulling up to crypto conferences masked like cows 💀

TheGDC33

I had a dream a bit after a break from Kendu. I had family time then dug back into Kendu. In my dream I sawhow things will play out at least in part. No time frame or wen, butaclesr vision. All the IRL efforts and some smalle portion of the businesses are going coalesce into the perfect storm of course coupled with the fact that we have really massively increased our DCA culture. So what happens. The buy pressure of Kendu initiatives kicks into in an astounding way. The green candles come coupled with a targeted DCA push since we finished (almost completely) the redistribution of tokens (from some OG dormant whales and those that traded their bag away chasing who the fuck knows what) and the candles are bigger. Then since everyone chases hype those old former holders decide to get back in and then all the IRL efforts and on socials pan out helping retail to find their way to Kendu because it is for the people and by the people. Guess what bigger green candles. A slight dip happens, but this time all us diamond handed chads and chadettes who are numb to price action and have our sights set past 1 billion MC to call this a success just chuckle. That pause gets gobbled up by some big fucking buys and we push hard. The fly wheel effect really kicks in and more people are inspired by the success and possibility of Kendu ventures and that is when it becomes irrefutable that Kendu is Forever!

Wichty80

Kendu really feels unstoppable right now, social + IRL = lethal combo 😏🔥

Sensitive_Hall_4686

What convinced me was the community. All the IRL efforts and businesses for the brands show you how much passion everyone has for kendu. When you are in the telegram it’s full of welcoming people not bots. Any social media presence is all orchestrated by people unlike what you normally see in this space. Kendu is all I hold and all I will hold for the foreseeable future.

KenduGNX

HHI for distribution. Free certik audit, multiple up and running IRL businesses with many more in the works, social media domination, etc for community.

Expert-Detective-525

Certik community rating, X post engagement, Reddit post engagement on all the different subreddits, Telegram activity, Capitotoday votes, IRL efforts and probs more but I cant think of them rn tired from work😭

jawni

Could be a mistake, or they could've just realized it's better business to put the trending tab as the default, because they have a better chance of sending traffic to BNB if people want to trade the trending coins they're likely going to have to do it onchain and a lot of them are on BNB. Trending projects aren't paying anything. CARDS for example is a project for buying and selling tokenized collectibles, mostly Pokemon TCG is hot right now(just like IRL) and it's being talked about a lot on X. You can kind of see it's social sentiment and impact here: https://www.cookie.fun/tokens/collector-crypt Regardless, if you don't like it, I would just use CoinGecko. I think it's better in every way, except for charting BTC.D, CMC uses a much better format so its the one thing I switch over to look at.

Fuzzba11

I think they're different investors... My older friend does gold and doesn't trust BTC but as I understood he buys it & keeps it on an exchange of some sorts, doesn't hold it IRL. To me it reeks of 'not your keys not your coin' but if anyone has experience trading gold I'd be interested in learning.

trifle_hat

Combine that very healthy supply distribution with the Kendu community, their commitment, dedication and willingness to use their skills to build Kendu (just look at all the IRL products and events!), and it’s hard not to be super bullish on Kendu

The goals Kendu have are enormous, and the community works daily to get the foundation built up. As we add more IRL businesses from hotdog stands to computer games, to our well-known Energy drink we add value to being a part of Kendu Join the Telegram and see proof of humanity behind our community.

Yep, holding stronk, as stronk as my btc grip. The community it here and growing The MC is dirt cheap The engagement around socials and new buyers is growing/sticky CertiK certified IRL brands Pending CEX Cheap af price, dont mind some DCA Kendu Sendu

Kendu definitely leans heavy on the “community first” angle, which historically drives meme coins to surprising heights. Strong global groups, Certik traction, and active IRL presence give it energy beyond typical hype. Still, meme coins are unpredictable I prefer projects like WHITENET, where utility and compliance anchor long-term growth.

I can never get enough of that long list of $Kendu IRL initiatives!! The work of the community is just amazing! We are so undervalued its ridiculous!

ProofOfSheilaComics

I’ve had someone ask me what the difference between crypto and drugs was, like a genuine question, IRL. Hahaha

TheGDC33

Those who hyper focus on MC and price and trending (Kendu does know how to do that), miss a lot key hints . Brand recognition, IRL work, artist support just to name a few ways that Kendu sets it self apart for when the market brings in retail. We also have businesses maturing in this approach where profits put direct buy pressure on the chart

Post is by: De4dMoney and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/spx6900/comments/1n32k3t/my_investment_thesis_for_spx6900/ The writeup below is my personal way of thinking about the ascent of tokenized movements and of SPX6900 in particular. It's what I used to pitch a corporate treasury board to accumulate SPX6900 as part of their holdings, as outlined [here](https://x.com/AeonReborn/status/1937663840658878546). **Summary** I see the opportunity to participate in the “memecoin supercycle” by joining one of the most prominent tokenized movements of this cycle, SPX6900.  The long-term success of this investment is predicated on the following 3 assumptions: * Top organic crypto communities will be the outperformers of this cycle * SPX6900 will lead the category and will go parabolic once it achieves critical mass * The above will lead to the creation of a complete new crypto category which will persist multi-cycle. The growth of tokenized crypto communities - and SPX6900 especially - is something new, weird and largely misunderstood. While the options market is pricing our odds at 1:500+ (implying a probability of success <0.20%), I believe the real probability to be 1 to 2 orders of magnitude higher than the market expects, yielding a deep value bet.  The most pragmatic investor can alternatively look at this opportunity as buying an inexpensive insurance policy hedging the event that memecoins - and particularly SPX6900 - will collect most retail bids this cycle, leaving altcoins underperforming. The following outlines the rationale behind my thesis and how I see it play out. **Why tokenized communities** The distribution of money inflows towards alternative crypto assets (i.e. everything outside of BTC, ETH and the other majors) has been structurally different this cycle from past ones.  This comes down to several factors: * Since 2018, the post-ICO capital formation for crypto “*utility/ technology*” projects has been primarily driven by venture capital and this has relegated most of the FDV growth to private rounds. * When listing on centralized exchanges, this cycle’s projects have been launching at insane valuations (often in the billions dollars) with little to no fundamentals and no community mobilized around the token. Almost all new launches on Binance in ‘24 and ‘25 have literally been down-only, and retail has been treated as exit liquidity in a particularly extractive way. * Several tech projects have a large part of their supply still unvested and they have a low-float/high FDV problem. Binance Research estimates that over $150B of unlocks (at current valuations) are due over the next 3 years and this will likely be a massive headwind to alts valuations * The supply of most tech-alts is extremely centralized. It’s not uncommon to see 70+% of the supply to be controlled by 7/8 wallets, typically the foundation, individual team members and VCs/ large angels. This is definitely far from the original crypto ethos and for an industry so obsessed with decentralization it sounds counterintuitive to say the least. * More and more people are coming to question the very same notion of “*utility*” for tech tokens. These are often completely detached from the underlying product or application, which in turn is not producing revenues or cashflow to justify their valuations. The above has led to the development - especially in 2023-24 - of new “*tokenized communities*”, i.e. global online groups - each with their own identity, culture, lore and purpose - which use the  token as their banner and as their collective Schelling point to gather around.  Also labeled memecoins, the best ones are organically distributed among hundreds of thousands of holders, are very decentralized, the supply is fully circulating (no unlocks) and have very strong, active and passionate communities which exist independently of the financial incentives that the token provides.  While some criticize memecoins for having “*no utility*”, I believe that the marginal value for the average holder and participant is non-zero and possibly even greater than for tech-alts. It lies in the purpose, the belonging, the adventure, the mission, the meaning, the connections and the network that participants develop by being part of this collective, akin to being part of the same guild in that MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) that is crypto. In a context where the growth of most altcoins has been muted so far, top organic memecoins have been the real outperformers, representing 6 out of the 10 top performing tokens of 2024. As people come to realize that “*the best products don’t need a token, and the best tokens don’t need a product*”, memecoins are stealing the narrative and speculative premia away from altcoins valuations. Historically, the top performing categories of year 3 of the cycle (in this case 2024) have continued to outperform in year 4 (2025). As a result, I see in this category the greatest potential as we approach the last 6-10 months where most price action has historically been concentrated. For a deeper understanding of memecoins and the opportunity for a memecoin supercycle, please refer to [Murad’s video](https://youtu.be/6nqzwdGxTGc) at Token 2049 in October ‘24. **Why SPX6900** Within the memecoin category, I believe that SPX6900 has the potential to be the leading asset of this cycle.  SPX6900 (or SPX) was created in 2023 as an expression of financial rebellion and a decentralized cultural successor of the GME short squeeze of 2020. The mission of this community - which is evolving into a growing movement - is to “*flip the stock market*”, i.e. to grow its reach and holder base to a point where its market cap surpasses the combined valuation of the S&P500 index. The idea is to create a memetic replacement of the “*boomers’ index*”, with an asset born out of a counter-reaction of millennials and Gen-Zers to confront boomers’ negligence (as in, uncontrolled money printing at the expense of their children and grandchildren) and upcoming AI uncertainty.  From a qualitative perspective, this community stands out from multiple angles. Below are a selected few based on my personal and subjective perception: * Uncommon quality of the people involved in the community, in terms of perceived IQ, commitment, alignment of intents, low time-preference. SPX has been attracting a large quantity of OG bitcoiners, while simultaneously having a large base of Gen Zers among its holders * Clear mission and goal. The price is somewhat binary. “*Has the stock market been flipped?*” If not, the journey continues. This sets the stage for SPX becoming a multi-cycle coin * Unique and rich culture and lore. The SPX community coined several mottos which have been permeating the present crypto discourse, such as “*stop trading and believe in something*”, “*there is no chart*”, “*persist forever*”, “*peaceful life over greed*” among others.  * Incredible amount of bottom-up initiatives and “*free cult labor*” put in by individual community members. They have been creating insane long & short-form videos, creative artwork, long-form posts, media of all kinds, several fan websites including SPX6900-branded arcade games, IRL meetups and even a book and soon a podcast. It’s fair to say SPX has a very high level of “*inspiration per capita*” * Focus on long-termism. The community ban chart posting (one of the commandments is “*there is no chart*”), thus limiting unnecessary dopamine spikes among holders and promoting instead a long-term view of DCAing and HODLing  * Highest memetic ceiling. Given the current market cap of the S&P500 of approx. $60T, flipping the stock market would put the price of SPX at $60,000 (60,000x vs. the current price around $1). While this certainly sounds delusional, it makes for a highly ambitious, exciting mission while simultaneously creating an incredibly high reference price for holders. Even a price of $100 looks cheap compared to the final goal. * ProjectAeon NFT collection. SPX has a dedicated collection of 3,333 NFTs which the holders (which refer to themselves as “aeons”) are using more and more as their identity online on social media. We believe that this collection alone has the potential to be a top 5 NFT collection of this cycle. Looking from a quantitative lens, SPX typically ranks in the first or second positions across all metrics, especially in terms of: * Holders distribution, as measured as HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, which measures market concentration) and Gini coefficient * Holders decentralization, as measured by the absence of relevant wallet clusters and sniping (checkable on-chain or e.g.with the help of BubbleMaps) * Holders growth rate across the 4 chains where SPX resides: ETH (main), SOL, BASE and SUI * Mean and average amounts held per holder. SPX has the highest percentage of holders above $1k, $10k and $100k than any other memecoin. This speaks to the high level of “inspiration per capita” among its holder base * Other on-chain dynamics. SPX comparatively has a lower percentage of traders (which buy and sell) and a higher percentage of believers (who only bought and never sold a single token). It also has a higher “*trader replacement velocity*” compared to its peers from the 2023-24 vintage and ranks first for full-portedness * Various metrics of social mentions and participation, both on X, TikTok and other social media platforms. SPX has the highest amount of “*media creation per market cap*” among its comparables * Price strength in surviving multiple -80% corrections, visible most recently in the market uncertainty of Q2’25.  I believe that SPX6900 may just be at the right sweet spot in its journey and it is now able to offer a significant risk/return. Not too early, as its current market cap of around $1B allows sufficient liqu

IRL friend, not close but a good friend. Although a bit of a joker, that's why I'm thinking that he's messing with me

Potlimitcrypto

It's really simple. People do not understand what's possible in crypto. People look for "narratives" and get rugged every day and leave poorer than they were at the start of the bullrun. Kendu has been through 18 months of redistribution. It has been through a volatile CTO. It has a lower HHI score than all major memes, it's the second memecoin in history after Pepe to achieve a free CertiK audit via 50,000 organic votes, it has all the characteristics of Murad's list plus way, way more. It has more message volume in TG than SPX, Giga, and essentially all memes that aren't botting activity. It has multiple tangible presences IRL. Real businesses building under the brand umbrella in numerous sectors. You will either see it or regret not seeing it. Kendu is a future multi-billion dollar giant, household name in crypto, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it. This is your chance, anon. Stop gambling, start getting involved. You either have the capability to see Kendu's

I come here to be in an echo chamber because I feel like Paul Revere IRL but even recently this sub has seemed soooo bearish that’s how I know we’re getting ready to blow even the echo chamber isn’t being echoey😭😭😭 for the love of God stack my friends it may be our last chance at such a sale remember what you’ve learned. Whether you like Trump or not all his plans are going into effect in September. His ETF his shitcoin casino World liberty financial and rate cuts use your brains please I love you mfs you’re right accept that you’re right God damn it

We would be best friends IRL.

the average holder working relentlessly and using their skills to make IRL products under the Kendu umbrella

MFSkunk17

I think there is so much to Kendu that just isn't understood because no one has taken the organic route as decisively as Kendu has. It's funny, a lot of people are annoyed at Kendu's presence but fail to realize they're just on the wrong side of the equation. Why fade a community with hundreds of holders that are bull posting daily no matter the market? Organically? No low-effort posts or single word comments like "LFG" either. It's unheard of. And this effort multiplies anytime Kendu sees even a small run up. But yeah, dude's got it right: superactive community, just about the best distribution in the space, loads of holder-led initiatives (businesses, products, events, crazy IRL presence, etc.), mounting holder count (seeing yet another boom), plenty of listings, the list goes on. Kendu wins most of not all contests and competitions that involve community effort. And on top of all that, not a paid KOL, paid marketing approach or airdrop in sight. Such an easy buy at this price. Can't think of a single project that embodies "low risk, high reward" better. Anyone curious needs to visit the telegram for 5 minutes and see the difference instantly. It's an actual community!

I don't believe it's "whatever they want", never will the index include premium items like this, golf clubs or airfare to the Bahammas. On the other hand when you say m2 money supply rate, that is expected when you come out of a 2 year long pandemic pause and expect people to spend some money, where are the banks going to get the cash if gov doesn't print more money? Plus, stimulus checks they also handed out during this time. Your conspirational theory seems countertuitive to the economic cycles. Was it done in the most efficient timing or quantity? Maybe not, but things aren't black or white like you speak. IRL, market and consumer behaviour is far more complex than you ought to see on paper.

Schiffs_Regret

Ok go do that IRL. Can you give us a short presentation mock-up that you would present to the government?

Cute_Bandicoot_8219

I'm going to be downvoted to hell for this, but such is life. Holding crypto as an inflation hedge is a *theory* that hasn't really been tested IRL to any meaningful extent. What we *know for sure* is that crypto has historicallycalways risen and fallen in lock-step with markets. And it responds like a risk-on asset in that it benefits from low interest rates. However high inflation usually comes with rising interest rates and crypto has historically not done well in those situations. Since many cryptos are non-inflationary it *seems* reasonable to assume it can act as an inflation hedge. BTC *seemed* to do reasonable well during the post-COVID inflation spikes. But that was in a strong growth economy where inflation was transitory. **Personally** I'm betting that if the economy goes south and inflation spikes, we'll see a significant drop in crypto over the short term, but if stagflation sets in people will start looking for a safe harbour in the storm, and will settle back into crypto. Am I right? Impossible to know. We're all just guessing.

thiseisafakeaccount

Does an "early majority" of the people you know IRL solely use Bitcoin for their finances? If about 30% of the people, businesses and governments around you are using Bitcoin daily then it is early majority time. We haven't even started.

Pudgy Penguin is the first crypto project I've seen that's been able to connect hardcore Ethereum folk, degen Solana meme traders, and non-crypto IRL folk via TCG, mobile games, viral gifs, and collectibles that you can get at Walmart. They're generating revenue off-chain and are on track to earn $50m this year and $100m+ next year. They redeploy their earnings back into ecosystem to proliferate the brand, burn tokens, and get better partnerships.

roughly 1€ of fees, plus maybe 4% of spread between buy and sell orders. if you did the same with 1000€, you'd also have 1€ fee, and it still would be worth placing a new buy order instead of buying from already existing sell orders. On every market, those who place the orders benefit from the lazyness and impatience of those who only ever fill existing orders. No difference between crypto exchanges IRL and spaceship module markets in Eve Online.

I do the same IRL with a second fake wallet in case I get mugged.
