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

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.

Ah, yes, fat fingers. Thanks for the catch, but the washers are correct IRL.

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.

Looking at your post history, you need psychiatric help. Seek help IRL, don’t beg online for money to cover your mistakes. We’ve all made them, you’re not alone.

I’m just nervous for my first transfer. Saw something about them not having good communication. I need some reassurance. I wish someone was here to walk me through it IRL.

They can also scream 'new money'. I work in a relatively 'elite' industry and sure there are some people with watches and cars, but it's also rare to see people flaunting them off. Some of the wealthiest people I know look and present as super incognito, if they were in your local coffee shop you'd mistake them for a regular person. And even when people do wear/buy quality, there's a good analogy in high fashion—high end brands make branded t-shirts etc that are mostly sold to 'aspirational wealth' and 'retail', ie a Dior branded T-shirt with the logo front and center. But the actual upper end of the market that a brand like Dior is targeting are wearing pieces that show no outward branding, a quality suit, couture dress—that's a kind of quiet quality that only a few people would recognise. Imo—most of the watch/car game falls into the 't-shirt' realm of 'implied wealth'. But when I see one of those things IRL I usually think, 'they're trying to hard and probably running on debt.

OzGaymer

He called pushes to eliminate discrimination dumb. He wants discrimination from banks to continue. And is diverting attention to an unrelated topic. It’s maliciously done. He works for banks and wants crypto to fail. There’s a lot of anti crypto people in here. Just gotta call em out and sideline them. IRL too. If you know anti crypto people, I just make things as inconvenient for them as possible. Be as inconvenient to them as possible.

MaximumStudent1839

> You can choose to see every innovation through a lens of cynicism,  Lol, "innovation".... Your shitcoin is basically a DAO token with a new buzzword "intersubjective work" token. No, what I have is not "cynicism". Cynicism is emotion-driven. I can reason through my skepticism. From a high level, my disposition is just a combination of statistical discrimination and Bayesian inference. From a low level, I see projects with broken principal-agent models, incentive problems, no data-driven reasoning on why X needs to be built to satisfy market demand, etc. Good grief! Even in the ivory tower academia with loads of BS overtheorizing, I haven't seen so much BS as here in crypto. At least in academia, ppl have conferences/workshops to rip each other apart on BS. Here in crypto, conferences all look like a big circus of self-congratulating circle jerks masturbating each other to attract VC money. You rarely ever see bad projects getting shamed by attendees for their flawed thesis on why it would ever attract any market demand. > foundational experimentation It is always fun to experiment on other ppl's money without real repercussions... >  you can recognize that building a decentralized future  Here is what I recognize. Talk is cheap. IRL, funding new projects often gets heavy scrutiny. The game is about building a product/service ppl will pay for. The entire idea is completely upside down in crypto. If this space had any level of scrutiny remotely close to the live TV show of Shark Tank, the crypto space wouldn't be in its current malaise. Such a pity we can't even meet a TV show standard. >**for the first time,** builders can create secure, decentralized services without facing the impossible cold-start security problem. So, all those apps on the ETH main net are just fairy tales? WTF?! > It allows this crucial infrastructure to rent security from Ethereum.  Bruh, a lot of your BS security is based on your "intersubjective work" token... please don't treat me like an imbecile. > That is the innovation. No, making a new DAO token as collateral along with ETH is not innovation.

Velodrome, Aerodrome, Seamless, Beefy, Blend, Aquarius, OpenXswap, Morpho, vfat, & probably a few more. Lend, borrow, LP, lock, buy discounted locks, vote, repay, & repeat. I treat all my coins like employees & they need to work so I can eat. 25% of earnings goes to Bitrefill with Amazon, Instacart, Uber Eats & Visa gift cards. Grocery & discretionary spending is about 75% funded via crypto. Even if it all goes to shit it won’t erase the last few years of IRL savings that would have probably been spent on some kinda credit payment due to our inflationary timeline.

>uses the same security and is much slower to adapt to changes, so they will have "even more" problems. Banks use encryption but not in the same way as Bitcoin. Cryptography is not used to prove ownership of your money. Your IRL id is used for those basically and a password that you know. Cryptography is used over the net HTTPS. But you could securely use a banking website over HTTP if you are on a LAN network. It's very difficult to perform mitm attacks on fibre cables. Even if everyone could break encryption only a few parties would actually have access to the network traffic. Eg government, ISPs and any organisation that can splice fibre cables without ruining them. This isn't the case for Bitcoin. This is a catastrophic threat to Bitcoin but not a serious threat for fiat but still pretty serious. If QC was available we would need to stop using any device that communicated wirelessly. Eg your phone would be insecure. But a PC connecting over fibre would be relatively secure

Well yeah, we've seen what happens IRL when ridiculous and retarded takes are allowed to run rampant without any pushback.

Now replace "crypto" with "gold bars" and imagine talking about it openly IRL the way this guy talks about his crypto. Then you wonder why people get kidnapped and robbed

Kendu is now as pure and decentralized as it gets.. When the real movement starts, Kendu will be in front of them all, dominating every sector.. IRL too 🤑🔥 My bag is loaded 📈🤩

This is the future of crypto. Bringing it IRL and developing value outside of the blockchain

Potlimitcrypto

Overwhelming IRL presence and voluntary revenue streams will gradually raise Kendu to the levels of Doge and beyond. These are just some of the businesses and products at 20m MC. You can start to understand the scale potential when you imagine what will come 10x from here and beyond, everything compounds, the flywheel gets bigger and bigger, the brand presence gets bigger and bigger.

2. The only way for that to happen would be IRL. And let's say if someone did manage to login to my Linux laptop: I use TailsOS, so everything is erased on shutdown, nothing is stored. Even if they managed to catch my laptop while it's turned on and I was in the middle of using Sparrow. They only have access to my public key. Even if they managed to catch my laptop, turned on, with SD card in. They only have access to my public key, the signed/unsigned TX cannot be tampered with. The RPi device is also stateless and 100% air-gapped, if they get to that, nothing is stored. 3. 1 slot 4. Yes, it's in the dev. notes, on the GitHub, and I've used it myself. Everything is stored in RAM, and it's gone when power is off 6. Check the GitHub, you can see the (public) contributers and code there. It's open source. The email on their website is for donations and community outreach.

tommmio

Holding for a yr+ as well. Nearly all in on Kendu, around 98%. I definitely didn't plan on this. I just became more and more bullish over time regardless of price. I would diversify my meme coin allotment if there were other communities I felt thing strongly about. Nothing that I've seen comes close though. I know others will do well but I don't think any has more upside then Kendu. I feel we're in the perfect spot for the biggest gains with one of the best if not the best community in defi. I also feel with the IRL/Branding that it's evolved into it will be multi-cycle. Infinitely scalable. This is critical for continued future growth. Kendu is unstoppable.

We’re so on track. IRL efforts are getting bigger and bigger by the day

kingkongbananakong

Kendu is doing what no other project has ever done. Our IRL presence is something you can actually see and feel, and that gives me a sense of comfort even in these volatile times. Between our real-world efforts and the momentum we have on social media, Kendu is positioning itself to be everywhere and soon people can’t ignore us any longer

Disastrous_Mango_772

KENDU is doing what no other project has ever done, between IRL efforts that simply astound me and social media efforts that are incredible. Just like major successes before it, Kendu is revolutionising the game with IRL efforts that push us into every industry under the sun. This means Kendu will be everywhere and impossible to ignore.

The biggest problem with BTC and crypto in general is the difficulty keeping wallets. The solution is some inexpensive (maybe $10 to convert) easy way to turn BTC into a physical good that could be verified digitally without handing over access. Something like a credit card that you scan with a phone and get the BTC value. People could hide those and trade them for IRL things without paying transaction fees and when they got lost other people would tend to find them. Trick will be a system that allows you to get the information to access the BTC without allowing the card to be resold.

We are going to see more of this as crypto becomes more main stream and cyber (criminals) are limited by how much action they can compel through code, and eventually need IRL actions to get desired outcomes. Let's go backwards. TL;DR: A 19-year-old from Danbury, CT (Veer Chetal) stole ~$245M in Bitcoin in August 2024. A week later, six men from Florida kidnapped his parents—believing they could extort the stolen crypto. The plot failed after a van crash and quick arrests. Multiple suspects have since pled guilty, and Chetal himself was charged in June 2025 for the crypto theft. #**FULL TIMELINE IN THE CONNECTICUT CASE** Aug 18, 2024 — A massive crypto heist: over 4,100 BTC (~$230–245 million) was stolen from a D.C. investor via phishing and social engineering tactics.

his right here is the blueprint. 👏 While other projects scramble to buy hype through short-lived influencer pumps, Kendu is quietly building an empire rooted in actual *community firepower*. IRL products. Festival appearances. Global initiatives. And still under $25M market cap? Most coins peak at social media engagement. Kendu? It *converts* engagement into real-world brand presence and grassroots movement. That’s not just bullish, that’s generational. The difference between a meme and a movement is community and Kendu’s already proven it’s more than just another ticker. Let the others chase trends. I’ll ride with the coin that’s setting them. $KENDU SENDU

Love this write up — I head the u/KenduSTREET team , pushing IRL guerrilla art / murals / events and connecting with real world communities that I’ve been a part of like the music festival circuits and worldwide artist networks (painters and musicians, fire performers, creators of all kinds). This is where a lot of my passion is, and what I can contribute to the Kendu community duing the things I love and the within the networks I’ve been a part of IRL for 15+ years

I successfully got my best friend in once I understood what it was 4 years ago, he now has a bigger stack than me. My parents finally started a daily DCA of $2 a month ago after me telling them about my gains for the third or fourth time, not much but it's a start. I met one other human IRL who understands bitcoin among a small handful of people who have or had some crypto but have no conviction. Moral to this story is we are still early. One by one retail investors will start understanding. I feel that this next few years will be the last to see astronomical gains in bitcoin but it's going to continue up and to the right on a yearly scale until the fiat system loses all relevance.

Original_Lab628

We all need to have some way to subtly signal Bitcoin irl so we’d know these people exist IRL.

Dang, are you me? I think I know like 3 people who know and own Crypto but none of them understand the difference between BTC and Cryptos, or FIAT and BTC. I never met one BTC all in person like my (or you) IRL! Sometimes I think we are, indeed, that freaking early. On the other hand, BTC fair value is infinity/21M which isn't as much of an multiplier anymore as it was when the BTC was like 1000 USD, so where are all the users? D:

StealthFocus

I know a guy on Reddit who knows a guy IRL who doesn’t want to be known.

Too many memes. Not enough majors 😁 Load majors, some stable in defi yield, and you still to gamble , never gamble more than 3-5% max of your portfolio. At your age you've got plenty time before you. Play fool IRL not in your portfolio, to leave it time to compound

and years later the bus did not miss him IRL

I mean he was objectively being fucking weirdly possessive, nothing criminal or anything and honestly (probably a little oversharing on her part i guess, but not really) if i was a hollywood type i would probs be like "yea i dont fuck with jonah no more". If i found out a close IRL friend was like that to thier partner i would do everything in my power to help them understand how repugnant that kind of behaviour is, perhaps help them with seeking therapy etc etc. All is to say if you actually cant see anything wrong i am genuinely begging you to look inward

Amazing! Have you ever got it wrong, or do you really keep every sat in your mind? I used to do it like that, but since I’m handling multiple wallets, crypto coins, and currencies IRL (get paid in dollars, local currency is different), I just got a bit crazy back there. At one moment, I was using 3 spreadsheets, and 2 apps lol. Finally just decided to build my own and Vissu.app was born 🫡 been using it personally for the past 8 months and now I just can look at it whenever I want, from a single place. I also have ROI, unrealized and realized profit, avg purchase price… all the goodies in a single place.

Go to a meetup and meet some nice bitcoiners IRL. Bring some cash they will sell you your first few sats

I mean LTC is the only coin I've used to actually buy something IRL, that makes it the most relevant coin to me.

Okay, this is where admittedly, my knowledge tapers off because every country has its own tax laws and pension rules. In my country the government forces us to invest in government bonds and national stocks and indexes, we don't have a 401k and no way to handle our own retirement investments. If the government allowed us serfs to direct that money into bitcoin ETFs, I would consider it, but I don't think I would opt in simply because of the massive custodial risks involved. Seriously, I think it is better to hold stocks than trusting a bitcoin custodian because I actually understand how bitcoin works. That being said, through discussions with many american bitcoiners, I have become aware it is indeed possible to hold your own keys in a roth IRA. A quick and shallow google search came up with this: [https://www.unchained.com/blog/how-to-buy-hold-bitcoin-ira](https://www.unchained.com/blog/how-to-buy-hold-bitcoin-ira), but I'm not sure if that's what we were talking about. You could open a post about it on the subreddit, or search for older posts, talk to IRL bitcoiners, I suppose. Sorry I can't be more precise in this response.

This Kendu project sounds absolutely insane! A memecoin with *real-world* utility? That's a serious game-changer. I'm loving the IRL initiatives—the vending machines and energy drinks are genius marketing, especially if they're actually good! Seriously, that's the kind of stuff that builds a loyal community. My question is: how's the tokenomics looking? What's the burn rate like, and what's the plan for long-term sustainability? Knowing that is crucial for assessing its potential to truly moon. Also, are there any plans to expand beyond the current initiatives? The possibilities seem endless—imagine Kendu-branded clothing, or even Kendu-sponsored events! This could be a *massive* gem if they play their cards right. WAGMI!

On top of being caffeinated... What Kendu is building puts it in a position to usurp Shib. Shib's spent tens of millions building dead onchain products and farming their own community on repeat, leveraging their brand to do so. Kendu is building IRL, businesses, products, initiatives. Coffee and energy are just a couple of them you can hold Kendu in your hands in a variety of different ways. You can est Kendu, drink Kendu, soon you'll be able to play it in your Steam store. Kendu leverage its brand to support its builders, and there is crystal clear upside for anyone who wants to build anything to build it with Kendu. Community-as-a-service enables you to get your first few thousand users, customers, or product testers, not to mention having a 24/7 voluntary marketing force the size of an S&P500 company constantly at your disposal. The community of holders then benefits greatly from another ecosystem participant and tangible Kendu real world presence in a symbiotic relationship between both parties, each benefiting and working for the other. Kendu going the route of permissionless brand is genius. The scale potential is infinite and it blows other memecoins out of the water. Get ready to see billions this cycle.

Speaking from experience, I'll not use referrals unless they're from people I know IRL. Too many services link your info to your referrer in some way, e.g. "Tyrone Wise just signed up using your referral!". I don't care for Internet people knowing my real name.

perskes

Don't tell them, they might become aware... It has been highjacked and abused to do what was not supposed to be done with the "currency of the future". Unfortunately people *are* as stupid as possible, so we invest in projects like hawk thua coin, complain we lost everything while bragging about how amazing crypto is. I have yet to meet someone IRL that does not have doublestandards like that, and online.. well, no chance,.people are delusional. The same people will post online about how much they invest into crypto and respond to obvious scams in their DMs. Everyone is a genius.

Expert-Detective-525

IRL is the future for sure. Kendu is just leading the charge 

Reasonable-Glass5381

IRL is the future and the Kendu army is everywhere.

Miserable_Coffee_362

Kendu has purely organic community, building from last 16 months. Our social media presence is very high and we probably have the best IRL presence. There are always a lot of things going on in Kendu as mentioned by OP. There are no seperate "dev teams" or "project teams" doing this. All these are done by average community member like you and me. The idea is to create a permissionless brand where you can pursue your passions. You want to develop any product...you have a community of 18k people trying that product and doing free marketing. And all this is around 25 million market cap. Imagine the scale once Kendu increases the market cap and has more community members. Truly the sky is the limit! The Kendu culture is truly different.. there are no questions related to " wen binance" etc. There are no raid bots in TG. Everything is purely done by community members and still we top the socials Irrespective of whether you want to buy kendu or not, join kendu TG and status there for some time...you will definitely feel the positive vibes.

Expert-Detective-525

The fact that we are the 2nd coin to ever reach the 50k votes whilst simultaneously hammering out IRL initiatives is crazy.

Bitter-Entrance1126

Kendu honestly feels different, not just another meme coin. The IRL hustle is wild (energy drinks, vending machines, even tattoos??) and that Certik score speaks volumes. Whether it moons or not, the community clearly shows up.

Potlimitcrypto

Worth noting that Kendu VENDU can also ship worldwide, and the ROI is pretty high on them. Fully paid off in a year or less and then a passive income source for community members who want to install them in their high traffic areas. Same idea with Kendu Energy and a few other global initiatives. The key differentiatior for Kendu's success will be: Accessible branding and ticker (easy to understand a Kendu attitude and working culture/ethos, we just du things) Overwhelming IRL presence (you can hold Kendu in your hands, eat it, drink it, buy it on Steam, watch it on Twitch, etc) No narrative and therefore no ceiling. Kendu is an evergreen multicycle culture coin, not reliant on any narrative or fleeting news stories. Just the infinitely scaling working output of the greatest community in the industry. Now is the time to pick your horse for the cycle, and there are hundreds upon hundreds of reasons to choose Kendu. Don't fade it. Don't think that you missed the boat at 23m, it's about to get a lot more expensive.

Focus on building a cash flowing business or highly paid skill . Your true wealth foundation is your monthly cash flow. Imagine your earning a 10k a month IRL you can invest in mentors/networks take bigger gambles and get mega wealthy a lot quicker.

Imagine how toxic this person is IRL

kingkongbiingbong

That would be something violent to behold IRL 🧨💥

People also forget or don’t know that a lot of NYC was not as desirable as it is today. Or even 15 years ago when I personally first saw people make these comments on Reddit / IRL about Friends / other TV shows / movies.  I had a client once whose dad bought a brownstone in Brooklyn for like 30K in the early 90s.  The family renovated it over the years, and when I met her in 2020, it was worth $1 million +.  She told me NYC had a program to encourage people to buy up real estate in order to gentrify the less desirable parts of the city.

Icy-Consequence-3702

It’s fucking TV. You think Monica and Rachel could afford that apartment IRL?

Expert-Detective-525

Great comment, I honestly don't have much to add but this... Kendu's level of IRL products is totally unprecedented and all under 30 million market cap, there is so much more to come. This...combined with our social media domination, Kendu is a recipe for success. I now realise I had a fair bit to say lol

Expert-Detective-525

in a world dominated by AI, funny memes are dying imo. What's gonna be more important for crypto is IRL products and this is what Kendu has bags of. It proves real humanity to people and retail are gonna love this

TheGDC33

Kendu is my choice and the only coin I don't play with the chart or try to flip it. IRL and socials we dominate and we know how to work and build which fuels our growth. We are inevitable

Expert-Detective-525

 I don't understand charts and all the other stuff, but what I do understand is this: Kendu has a catalogue of IRL efforts that is honesty breathtaking, from coffee, to energy drinks, to merch, to murals, to vapes..... the list goes on. Combine this with social media efforts that are incredible, we have an insanely strong community and we are leading the battle on 2 fronts(IRL and social media). We are going to the very top, I mean our social media efforts alone are enough for Kendu to be a top performer this cycle. We dominate Reddit, Twitter and many more.... Kendu is everywhere and it is only gonna get bigger!

SpontaneousDream

Some people are so cognitively dug in that they will literally NEVER sell. They cannot bear the thought that they were wrong. Sunk cost fallacy can be very very strong. Ex: I have an IRL friend who, bless his heart, is *still* holding onto his NEO bags....

intelw1zard

Sick back and imagine for a moment what the above user is like IRL. Their life truly must be pitiful.

Rent_South

I mean, respectfully, the scenario I mentioned is much more likely. Someone who believes they understand the pattern and can time the market because of that, and get rekt when it doesn't go their way. From what we have discussed, both you and I are hodlers and not idiotic low IQ traders who believe past performance seals the future. Going back to your example in your first paragraph, why would they be trading if they believe the the 4 years swings won't happen, they could be paper hands though for sure. On the other hand, I personally spoke online and IRL to many people who were extra confident in seeing similar price swings as in past cycles, and who tried to time the market exiting at 80k believing it would fall back to 20k or something for example, or other metrics like 100k to 40k whatever. Because in past cycles even a sneeze of negative news like a war or something would launch bitcoin into oblivion. And this just hasn't been the case as it was in the past. Many believed that ETFs could maybe mean more volatility but this hasn't materialized either. The opposite has happened, ETFs meant a highway for institutional capital, that is stable, and not in the game for the price swings. They are just here for an alternative to gold basically and decorrelated assets. Anywyays, again, you did mention you're hodling anyways, but I just don't see the logic in what you're saying. In my experience the traders (and incidentally the ones who got rekt) were the ones who believed they could time the market because of past perfomance. In fact, most of them end up in shitcoins for the same reason waiting for "alt season" lmao.

Interesting_Loss_907

Noted. But it doesn’t hurt to ask. I’ve come across some bitcoin holders “in the wild” (IRL) & have been a bit surprised when I have found them. There are probably more people out there than you might think. Anyway, if no one is willing to pay you in BTC then you should just set aside a small portion of your paychecks to save, and maybe once a month or so use that savings to buy BTC and hold it. Keep accumulating… and if we hit a new bear market next year as we might, just use that as an opportunity to buy more at bargain prices. This is a long-term savings tool.

CaringCertainty

My way of 'touching grass' in crypto is getting involved in hackathons (even as a spectator} and IRL startup events. Good to do this at least a couple times a year. The energy is still there, builders are still building. We're far from dead.

Personal-Ebb-4717

who has time for that? reddit mods are unhinged. I'm convinced that 99% of reddit mods are absolute losers IRL. nobody with full time job, families, friends, n hobbies spends all day online moderating forum for free and going through people post history.

forgotmypassword4714

I don't tbh. It's just something I always read about on here and experienced IRL. I think googling "Reddit Bitcoin UTXO explained" or something like that would probably pull up some informative posts though.

Expert-Detective-525

Exactly, bringing trust back into crypto. As crypto has been scarred for months from presidential rug pulls and celeb rug pulls, Kendu has IRL products which will be so attractive to retail investors as it provides a coin something physical. You wanna position yourself before retail arrives

jekpopulous2

Theoretical limit is 60,000 TPS but the highest throughput ever achieved on Solana IRL is 2,900 TPS. That’s quite the discrepancy…

Live_Jazz

Neither have I, but then I don’t know any other Bitcoiners closely enough IRL to talk about politics with them. Think back to Oct/Nov 2024 if you were here at the time. This is formally a no-politics sub, but there was definitely a rightward tilt.

Axiik

Whoa, finding 3 BTC from 2016 is like discovering buried treasure in your couch cushions! 😄 First step? **Don’t panic. Don’t spend it all on pizza.** 🍕 Second step: ✅ **Move it to a secure wallet** — preferably hardware. If it’s still on an old software wallet, that’s a bit like leaving a sports car with the keys in the ignition. ✅ **Double-check everything** — make sure you really have access to the private keys, backup phrases, and nothing’s been compromised. ✅ **Don’t tell too many people IRL** — unless you want some *sudden new best friends*. Then? You’ve got options. Hold, sell a bit, diversify — depends on your goals. But hey, whatever you do, congrats! You basically just time-traveled into a small fortune. 🥂 What’s your next move — Lambo or long-term HODL?

mrjune2040

Bought my first BTC in 2011, and I've been DCAing out during strong market periods since 2021 and plan to do so for the rest of my life. At a certain point there's no real need to time the market, just try to make the sales as tax efficient as possible and keep IRL needs (family, health, education) in focus. Life is short, and it's not all about holding.

fu_paddy

I'm sad I can't find his post where he's saying "you broke fucks will never see me begging" or something. This guy is, without a doubt, an actual terrible human being. Serial rugger, manipulator, extortionist. That's how he made the money he had to gamble and lose. Now that he's been assblasted by the real players, he's begging the community he max extracted from for more money. The followers he shilled his memecoins to before pulling the rug and taking their money, these are the people he's begging for money right now. Can you imagine what this guy is like IRL? Because I hardly can

xblackout_

I'm building Bitcoin UBI and a key element is trust-minimized meet-ups with peers. I realize there is a strong potential alignment to enable peers to use this IRL attestation as a coin swap as well

I don't talk about BTC IRL anymore. If I do, I mention the ETFs
