NFT

The crypto market is massive now in comparison to the past, it has matured. This means your mindset also has to mature. When crypto started, if 1 guy put in just 1 million dollars, it caused a huge spike. Nowadays, if someone puts in a million dollars, it doesn't even move the needle. The market is in the trillion(s) now. We will never see insane spikes like in the past ever again (other than maybe niche pump and dump/hype coins - but that's just a gamble). The market has matured, the gains (and probably losses) will start flattening out more and more. If a few cycles ago it was common to do x100, and last cycles ago x10, and this cycle only x3 or whatever, then you can already anticipate the next cycle to be even flatter. And the alt market is completely shot in my opinion. Over the last cycles, more and more people have burned their finger on the pump and dump, rug pull, NFT scams etc. On top of that, instead of 100 alts, and then 1000 alts, there's now basically millions of alts. The market is way too saturated, most people have realized they're just copy pasta scams for someone to try and get rich quick by finding "the bigger fool" who keeps investing into this shit. Can you get lucky and strike gold? Potentially, but at the end of the day, it's pure gambling, and most people aren't too fond of gambling (only the degens).

Bitcoin NFT you don’t want to own. But it’s part of the public blockchain, so node operators are downloading, storing, and sending images embedded in the transaction data. Have you also got a base64 decoder installed? Guilty.

No, it didn’t. ETH first ran to 5K because of NFT and Metaverse nonsense. ETH mining became industrial as the rural Chinese miners started to front run on getting Nvidia chips. They paid a huge premium for the chips early. They have to sell so they can recoup back their cost before Nvidia releases their next generation.

yes i think the grifters and all the so many scam coins, , NFT’s have wrecked the true ideals of Bitcoin, we could have had something that could have changed things for the better, and make a more fair economic system

2022 was also the worst year in the market in general since 2008 + FTX/NFT bs. The drawdown for just the BTC cycle by itself is probably a lower %.

Most people don’t spend their crypto they hold it. Even folks who are deep into the space usually treat BTC and ETH more like long-term speculative assets than actual currencies. Every survey I’ve seen basically shows the same thing: people will use stablecoins for transactions, but they won’t part with their Bitcoin unless they absolutely have to. I spend stablecoins (USDC mostly) on small freelance payments, subscriptions, and occasional P2P stuff. I hold BTC and ETH because the opportunity cost of spending them feels too high. I rarely use smaller altcoins unless a platform specifically requires them. If you’re thinking about launching a cosmetics shop in Europe that takes crypto, it could still work, but you’d want to: * Support stablecoins first, since they’re what people are comfortable spending * Offer discounts or perks for paying with crypto * Make checkout dead simple (no multi-chain confusion) * Accept BTC/ETH but expect low usage * Maybe experiment with loyalty tokens or NFT memberships if your audience skews younger A lot of the hype around people “spending crypto everywhere” comes from marketing pushes like the whole Ian King Next Gen Coin promo that suggests crypto rails will replace global finance. Whether you buy into that or not, the reality right now is that most people still treat crypto as an investment, not a daily spending tool.

Being bullish and wrong usually means you bought the dip, got shaken out early, or paid a bit too much for a stock that later rips higher anyway. The cost is limited to your stop-loss or your ego. You live to fight another day, and the market often bails you out with momentum. Being bearish and right can feel genius… for a minute. Then you watch the thing you shorted squeeze 300 %, your broker margin-calls you at 3 a.m., and the headlines call you the idiot who “fought the Fed” (or the meme crowd, or AI hype, or whatever the narrative is this cycle). The downside is theoretically unlimited, and the emotional toll is brutal. History backs it up: 2009–2020 bull market: bears were “right” about valuations for a decade and still got destroyed. 2021–2022 crypto/NFT/ARKK blow-off: anyone short got carried out in body bags. Even in proper crashes (2008, 2020), the recovery V-shape usually punishes the people who stayed bearish “until it feels safe.” The asymmetry is real: markets spend far more time going up than down, and the ups are bigger when they happen. Trend-following systems, CTAs, risk-parity funds, and every leveraged player on earth are structurally long gamma. Fighting that tape is like standing in front of a freight train holding a strongly worded letter. So yeah, in most regimes it literally is better to be bullish and wrong than bearish and right. The only time it flips is when the music actually stops (and even then, the first 20 % down feels like a dip to the perma-bulls).

Interop is already solved for. You have numerous interop solutions, you have all of the important L1's already linked and you have banks and institutions building on top of these already. You CAN transfer an NFT from ETH to Polygon, except for the fact that no one has built the app to do this because it would be a waste of their time given the amount of volume that would happen. Regardless, a "normie" would not want to move their NFT from ETH to Polygon ever. In fact, they would never buy or want an "NFT". What you are thinking about is called ABSTRACTION. What we are building towards, which takes a lot of time, is all of this tech being completely under the hood. The average user wants their McDonald's reward or whatever, not an "NFT", and when they use it to buy an NFL t-shirt they don't want to move the NFT from anywhere to anywhere. They want to click "Buy with McDonald's Rewards". We are still likely 10-20 years out but it'll probably happen eventually. For now we already see the next bastion for blockchain is institutional finance. You will see tokenized assets, and all of that will be abstracted behind websites like E-Trade and your bank software.

Mining really should be left to the enthusiasts. With NFT miners that exist and allow you to be effortlessly part of a mining pool, solo mining should really be avoided and not recommended. 99.97% chance that you mine for a whole year and get nothing!

SophonParticle

I definitely regret every penny i spent on NFT’s.

carsonthecarsinogen

I regret thinking I could outsmart the NFT wave, but I still love my avatars haha.. I could’ve made a bag off NFTs if I wasn’t so greedy I never spent much time gambling on shit coins other than ETH

taquitaqui

Coulda shoulda woulda. I wish I’d a bought A few of those Bored Ape NFT’s at $1k but I thought it was expensive. I coulda sold at $200k… these things will drive you crazy. I wish I’d a bought gold 5 months ago when my uncle told me but hey we can’t go back. I still think the space is ok. You have to have discipline and don’t get sidetracked by moonshots and speculation and bet on safe assets. I know too many who lost it all chasing memes.

Unlike most tokens that live only on-chain, Mecca is building real-world utility combining payments, gaming, and digital content into one connected platform. What caught my attention is how it runs on Solana, meaning fast and low-cost transactions perfect for everyday crypto use. The idea of using one token for shopping, gaming rewards, and NFT content feels like the next evolution of Web3 adoption. The project recently secured $8M in funding and listed on BingX, showing real momentum. Sure, it’s still early, but if they deliver on the roadmap (Mecca Pay, Game Hub, and NFT Webtoon), this could be a serious player in 2026. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Yes! They are part of a mistery pack and once you open and decide to keep the card you own the NFT and can redeem the card via Collector Crypt and Magic Eden. Pretty cool!

What sets Mecca apart is how it blends gamification with DeFi mechanics completing tasks, participating in quests, and earning rewards feels genuinely fun rather than just transactional. The user interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate even for someone new to crypto gaming. What impressed me most is the reward structure. They offer tangible incentives like $MECCA tokens and NFT drops that actually hold utility within the ecosystem. Plus, the team is active and transparent, regularly communicating updates and engaging the community, which is a rarity in crypto projects these days. While there’s always some risk with emerging platforms, I see strong potential here. If Mecca continues to grow its community and expand its features, it could easily become a top player in the intersection of crypto and gaming. I’m excited to see where it goes and have already started staking and participating in quests to maximize rewards *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Hey guys I was into crypto a while ago when memecoins just became a thing and when NFT’s were just starting to become hype. Back then there some strategies in both of those where people made crazy returns. Crypto’s changed a lot since then, and I haven’t really kept up with everything so figured I’d ask you guys what the latest is of the latest is. Where is all the hype right now? What are the interesting new developments? Is 10-100xing your money in nft’s and memecoins still a thing or is the money somewhere else now? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I have general suggestions rather than specific ones, including: * Be sure to study the market and the subject fully on your own. While it's OK to consider someone else's recommendations, you still need to fully research any potential investment on your own before pulling the trigger. The first rule of crypto is "do your own research," and it's a good and important rule. * The larger crypto exchanges, such as Coinbase, have free tutorials that help you learn the basics of crypto investing as well as some of the details. I suggest that you check them out. * Since crypto-associated scams are extremely common (and are on the rise), you need to study them. Again, start with the tutorials mentioned above, but I also urge you to hang out a bit in the r/CryptoScams subreddit to get a decent feel for the most common scams that are floating about today and the hardships that can result from one. This can help you calibrate your own internal crypto bullcrap detector, hopefully allowing you to recognize a scam before it bites you. * Many financial experts consider crypto to be speculative assets where their values are driven more by market sentiment than by fundamental value based on economic use case. And while some will argue that stocks are over-valued and also somewhat speculative, I'd argue that it's a matter of degree resulting in crypto's volatility and risk being much higher than that of stocks, bonds or other more traditional investment vehicles. I would recommend that you study some financial history, especially that of the NFT market market and its crash in 2022. Because of this, while I'm a proponent of crypto investments, I don't think that anyone should put their whole nest egg into this basket. Diversify.

>I haven’t felt that way. It’s always felt like(until now) that scaling microtransactions wasn’t really needed. Microtransactions are just transactions and scaling for transactions in general has been an obvious need for years, as exemplified by the NFT craze among other frenzies(memecoins, inscriptions, etc) that have made chains nearly unusable.

YuntHunter

They are coming back. Coinbase bought Cobies UpOnly NFT a few weeks back for $25m presumably as part of their buying Echo. He's signed on to do 8 episodes as a result so it's coming back.

Digital art is a thing, a lot of big galleries are buying and displaying digital art. NFT just solidifies licensing. Although using it as a speculative investment might not to be the best idea.

# 11/7/25 - Solana & ZCash Team Up - Solana’s Hush Wallet Marks Breakthrough in Privacy With ZCash Integration Solana’s latest wallet addition, Hush, is generating strong anticipation across the ecosystem after being unveiled on X. Many users have been calling for a simple and secure way to protect personal information when operating on Solana. Hush is introducing zero-knowledge proof technology with ZCash, allowing activity validation while keeping user data out of public view. The team confirmed that the Chrome extension rollout is scheduled within days, with further specifics set to be released gradually to encourage early adoption. The wallet combines privacy and ease of use for those who want confidentiality when interacting with decentralized applications. It highlights that large tech companies monetize user information, so Hush believes protection should be embedded into everyday Web3 interactions. Private token swaps through ZCash shielding aims to bring discretion to transactions that previously left a visible digital trace. It will enable access to ZCash, offering users privacy elements not commonly seen in the Solana environment. The wallet team says these features can run in the background without forcing users to adjust their usual behavior. Solana has become the leading chain for payments, NFT activity, and consumer Web3 apps. Although the network is known for speed and low fees, public visibility of transfers has raised concerns for users who prefer to limit exposure of their financial patterns. Solutions from ZCash offer discretion and flexibility in a fast-moving ecosystem.

100% Yes, and the General public has not even realized the potential with RWA yet. Think the 2021 NFT run but 100X bigger. ***But why?*** RWA allows the whales to put their Real World Assets on the Blockchain, and use them as leverage to create Liquidity. *Example*: Let’s say I am whale with a $100 Million Real Estate portfolio. For me to get Liquidity out of those properties today it is complicated. Probably involving a ton of 3rd parties to make that happen, refinancing or taking a loan out. If these properties were all RWA, then they can use these as collateral for leverage, and immediately pull funds for liquidity to use on other things. There is no 3rd party bank that needs to be involved. Now imaging them doing this with Commercial Real Estate, Yachts, Jets, Jewelry, etc. The options are limitless, and this will bring Trillions in liquidity to the Crypto markets. I am extremely in on a coin called AVNT (Avantis). This is an RWA tech that allows for leveraging Securities for liquidity. You know the $100 Trillion Stock Market? Yes that one. AVNT was created by Base to be the back end for Coinbase RWA. This is going to allow for Wall Street to easily use their Real securities as a Blockchain asset for leverage. You guys have no idea how big this project could become. And there is absolutely No Hype happening, it’s like the coin doesn’t exist. Yet we had the same volume as XRP not long ago. Something big is brewing with this one, and they don’t want you to know about it. Only $100 Million Market Cap, I can tell you this is an easy 10-20X in my opinion

LaRoosterTime

I got in early on an NFT project that I thought had a lot of potential and it blew up pretty soon after i loaded up. My collection was valued over 200 ETH and there was plenty of volume to where i could have easily sold it all. They crashed of course and became damn near worthless. I never stressed at all about it. Im well in the profit in crypto and there will be more opportunities in the future.

MaximumStudent1839

Lame Ad. It is such a 2021 narrative. There are a lot of professional services to verify credentials. What you are thinking is so akin to the NFT folks thought NFT can fight off counterfeits… there are good reasons why they didn’t take off. Study them first.

jekpopulous2

Glad you were smart enough to get out... it was so bad even before that though. Loopring built the first ever zk-rollup on ETH. I bought a small bag. Great right? Well… thing is that their rollup can’t do smart-contracts. They’re working on it though they say… soon. Optimism and Arbitrum both launch optimistic rollups with EVM support. Ok well optimistic rollups are 100x easier. There is still a chance for Loopring to launch a zkEVM first. Then Starkware, zkSync, Polygon, etc… start launching zkEVMs and Loopring is on Twitter talking about their NFT markets. I just dumped my entire LRC bag at that point. I didn’t even hang around for the GME phase I was already gone by then.

Sandharbor

A lot of projects have big partnerships, specifically almost all top 100’s do unless they’re meme’s.  I know of Mastercard, Nvidia, blackrock, name brand partnerships.  Heck even a NFT coin like DOOD/doodles has a McDonald’s partnership  Yet none of these coins really outperformed this cycle.  At the end of the day what utility/reward does owning LINK an oracle give me, other than seeing it was up over 100’s of times early last cycle not a lot of appeal. Heck it didn’t even finish last cycle strong.

I did consider starting a Bitcoin fashion brand called Bucci after a night in the pub talking though my ideas. The fashion would only be purchasable using bitcoin, would have NFT authenticity on the garment, and would be suitable for Bitcoin whales only, for example I imagined our Bucci Loafers would be 0.25 BTC, maybe 0.19 BTC on sale. For the bottom feeders we would still have Bucci keyrings and belts for 0.01BTC, so something for everyone.

And that’s the main mistake people make. Swapping is an asset disposal because in order to swap you have to sell and then buy the new token. So on paper you did sell. No amount of wriggling will change that. If you create NFTs and sell them in return for ETH you are hit twice, once when you sell the NFT and again if convert the ETH to $ or whatever. Swapping for USDC or similar is still a taxable event. This myth that you only get taxed when you convert to fiat currency is a huge cause of future problems.

pop-1988

No The pre-Taproot limits to txinput scriptSig sizes meant that data greater than 100kb had to be spread over multiple transactions Taproot removed that restriction, on the basis that data used is anyway constrained by the per-byte fee cost. Fee cost is the reason that the Ordinals scam eventually died out, and the traded NFT trash and "BRC-20" shittoken pump-n-dumps moved off-chain, anchored only by a reference hash in an OP_RETURN This new "BIP444" proposal includes reducing the limit of a single data push to 256 bytes. But the current limit is 520, and the storage method used by Ordinals (for example) simply does dozens or hundreds of 520-byte data pushes. Reducing 520 to 256 is completely ineffective BIP444 is half-baked

I’ve tried a lot of crypto and gaming ecosystems, but Mecca really stands out. It’s not just another DeFi or NFT platform—it’s a full ecosystem that blends gaming, social interaction, and rewards into one seamless experience. The onboarding is straightforward, even if you’re new to crypto, and the interface is smooth and intuitive. What’s really impressive is how Mecca gamifies participation. You’re not just holding tokens or trading NFTs—you’re actively engaging with the community, completing challenges, and earning tangible rewards. It feels more like playing a game than navigating a typical crypto platform. Another thing I love is the community. Everyone is supportive, creative, and genuinely invested in building something meaningful. You can see that Mecca isn’t just focused on transactions—it’s about creating experiences that make Web3 fun, accessible, and rewarding. I honestly think Mecca has the potential to dominate the space if it keeps growing at this pace. If you’re a gamer, a crypto enthusiast, or just someone curious about Web3, I highly recommend checking it out. Has anyone else here tried Mecca? What’s been your favorite part so far? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

What's the point of decentralized record keeping for real-estate? You still need a central authority able to issue ownership documents. After all, if you lose your keys people aren't going to say "the rules are only the person with the private key to this NFT can set foot on this property so nobody can ever set foot here again." You would just have the government agency re-issue a new NFT. So your smart contract is going to have a **backdoor** where a **trusted authority** can control any and all records. At which point, how is an energy-intensive blockchain better than a simple database? Tokenizing business records... You always have to ask: where is the centralization in this process? In this case it's simple: the business owner can publish any data they want. They can commit fraud and a blockchain does nothing to prevent it. Decentralization means **nothing** if there is a link in the chain that requires **trust**. You always have to look at defi projects with a fine tooth comb to identify any potential weak links. If you find one the entire chain is compromised and decentralization is broken. There's only one thing a digital blockchain can secure **without trust** and that's its own native token. This limits blockchain effectiveness to the utility of that token. Combine it with a fixed supply and credibly neutral governance and you have a store of value. So **Bitcoin**. It's the only real project in this space.

That's why we hold SOL, it's the chain de rigueur when it comes to scams memes and other shady shit. I'm sure they're planning for what next cycle's NFT/Meme scam will be.

MaximumStudent1839

> It's all about memecoins! You misunderstood my point about Meteora. The point is, it runs on a very questionable business model. Technically, there is nothing wrong with earning revenue from trading "memecoin". The most profitable business here nearly always involves a Bitcoin product, the biggest "meme" in this space. What makes it work with Bitcoin is that it is an asset with durable demand over time. So there is a case to do a "DCF analysis" on these types of businesses for valuation. The Trump meme is down only, with more unlocks coming ahead. Furthermore, the Trump org has a notorious history of issuing more crypto assets over time to dilute its own brand value. Before its meme, it had so many NFT collections. After Trump launched, the Melania coin instantly followed. The evidence is simply too strong against the asset's longevity. So either you sustain your business model with wash trading to fake revenue, or your business will slowly die over time. Hence, you need to rapidly discount future possible revenue in any standard financial analysis. The aggressive discounting should be further emphasized because its next big revenue generator is trading its own $Met coin, introducing more reflexivity risk. > Those that are technology-focused get zero attention.  I am not surprised. First, a lot of "new tech" hasn't really opened up new products to do the next 100x improvement to expand the market and attract newcomers. On the contrary, it has brought forward a lot of selling pressure draining the space's liquidity to feed merc dev and VC pockets. Second, the open-source nature of this space doesn't make it exciting to buy "tech advancement" when the big VCs and merc devs can just vamp/copy-paste whatever you are doing with minimal effort. The VCs are still more loaded in liquidity than the public market has. They have infinite resources to rape your assets and poach whoever your devs are. > I could not even tell a difference between a legitimate project and a fake one? I am increasingly convinced, Solana doesn't even know what it wants, and they are just throwing whatever onto the wall and hoping for something to stick. Their bold hype man, Mert, was yapping REV designing a token price for the most early half of this year and the late part of last year. Now he is just 24/7 shilling Zcash as a "better" Bitcoin - da fuq REV does Zcash have. A lot of their "KoLs", even some who self-reported as hired by Solana Foundation for growth, openly admitted they now only own Bitcoin, dumped their SOL. Next, their VCs are just desperate to find the next meta for launchpads. Memes, CCM, ICM, futarchy, coins with legal signing, blah blah blah... When all these new coins are just a dumping ground for traders who just want to find an easy pump and dump...

In the future, the entire financial industry will be running on blockchain because it’s faster and easier than the current system. This isn’t even debatable, it’s already in motion. You won’t even call it crypto or NFT or RWA. It will just be built into what we use on a daily basis. So saying it’s all just “hype” is an extremely uniformed statement. This is exactly the type of sentiment banks and stock brokers want you to have towards crypto. They don’t want it because it ends their charade.

tldr; Donald Trump's memecoin $TRUMP has dropped 80% since its launch, while Melania Trump's memecoin $MELANIA has performed even worse, losing 94% of its value since launch. Melania's ventures, including an Apollo-11 NFT collection that faced legal issues with NASA, have been criticized for their lack of value and transparency. Despite these failures, the Trumps reportedly earned significant revenue from these ventures. Melania's projects operate under her own business, MKT World LLC, separate from the Trump family businesses. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Coinbase bought an NFT for $25M so UpOnly comes back for 8 episodes of their podcast 😂 damn

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Coinbase has spent $25 million to acquire an NFT to revive the UpOnly podcast, which was popular during the 2021 crypto bull market. The podcast featured interviews with prominent crypto figures and was sponsored by FTX before its collapse. UpOnly's last episode aired in December 2022. Coinbase's purchase makes the NFT one of the most expensive in crypto history. The podcast's host, Cobie, humorously commented on its return, suggesting a rebranding to 'Unc Only.' Memecoins related to the news saw significant price spikes. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

I’ve been lost in Mecca for two solid weeks, and I’m ready to preach about this blockchain RPG that’s hitting all the right spots. Built on Solana, Mecca’s a neon-soaked open-world where you’re a trader, schemer, or warlord in a futuristic holy city. It’s like Final Fantasy had a baby with Uniswap, and I’m here for it.

As a user who has dedicated time to exploring its features, I feel compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. CoinBlast is not just another typical auction site; it is an integrated ecosystem designed to genuinely reward user activity—a significant departure from the passive or opaque models of many traditional platforms. ​Initially, I approached it with a degree of skepticism, as is natural when encountering promises of online earning. However, after diving into my own experience, particularly participating in the daily auctions and tackling various earning tasks, I quickly realized that the platform is built on a foundation of transparency and real reward for active participation. ​Core Experience 1: The Thrill of Auctions and Bidding ​The most immediately captivating element of CoinBlast is its auction system. It delivers an exciting combination of strategy and competitive thrill. Unlike conventional auctions where success often hinges solely on having the deepest pockets, the CoinBlast model utilizes a specific bidding currency (BIDs) that, to me, grants a greater sense of fairness and opportunity for every user. ​I distinctly recall an auction where I participated, targeting an exclusive NFT pack. The competition was fierce, yet the entire process felt highly transparent. The real-time tracking of bids adds an element of excitement and suspense. Crucially, even when I didn't emerge victorious in some auctions, I didn't feel a total loss; the platform seems designed to provide small compensations for participation (often in the form of minor rewards or experience points). This mechanism significantly lowers the "pain of losing" and encourages users to return with a refined strategy. ​The utilization of BIDs as the main auction currency is a clever innovation. It establishes a mild barrier to entry for the larger auctions, ensuring serious players are involved, while simultaneously allowing the BIDs themselves to be earned or purchased relatively easily, thus keeping the platform accessible to a broad audience. ​Core Experience 2: The Multiple Earning Pathways ​What kept me engaged with CoinBlast in the long term is the abundance of ways to earn outside of the auction hall. The "Journalist" task itself exemplifies this philosophy, actively encouraging users to contribute to community growth and spread awareness. I have successfully engaged with other tasks, such as watching short promotional videos and completing short surveys, which demand minimal effort in exchange for clear and immediate crypto rewards. ​The combination of different reward tokens (such as XRP, TRON, and the internal Star currency) creates a compelling incentive. My earnings were not restricted to a single token, which immediately provided me with portfolio diversification or the option to use the internal currency to boost my chances within the platform. This diversification in rewards is a key factor that helps CoinBlast truly stand out as a platform that values and compensates the user's time and effort. ​User Experience and Design (UX/UI) ​I must commend CoinBlast on its user interface. In a world saturated with overly complex and confusing crypto interfaces, CoinBlast offers a clean and intuitive design. Whether I am using the platform on my mobile device (which I do most frequently) or on my desktop, navigating between the tasks, the main dashboard, the auctions, and the wallet is seamless. ​Furthermore, I found the withdrawal process to be refreshingly clear and straightforward. This aspect is vital, as many platforms deliberately complicate withdrawals to create friction. The transparency in displaying my balance and earned rewards, coupled with a reasonable minimum withdrawal limit, instills a strong sense of trust and control over my digital assets. ​Conclusion: A Platform Worth Your Time ​Following my comprehensive experience of participating in auctions and using the platform’s earning features, I can confidently assert that CoinBlast is more than just a place to pick up some extra crypto; it is a smart platform that intelligently integrates elements of gamification, reward, and community building. It is not without its challenges—auctions can be competitive—but the multiple, structured reward systems ensure that your time and effort are genuinely valued. ​I highly recommend CoinBlast to anyone interested in cryptocurrencies who is looking for an interactive and enjoyable method to earn tokens like XRP and TRON while experiencing the thrill of digital auctions. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and I look forward to seeing the future features and updates from this promising project. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

tldr; The article highlights top Solana projects to watch in 2025, showcasing the blockchain's growth and innovation. Key projects include decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Jupiter, Meteora, and Raydium, which are expanding features and liquidity. Memecoins such as TRUMP and PENGU have driven significant activity, with TRUMP reaching a $13 billion market cap. Solana's NFT ecosystem, including collections like Mad Lads and Lifinity Flares, continues to thrive. Lending protocols like Kamino and staking platforms like Solayer and Sanctum are also gaining traction, solidifying Solana's position as a leading Layer 1 blockchain. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

It’s not dead nor is its original intent. There are several big reasons for what’s going on but the vast majority of the world still want a peer-to-peer trustworthy & decentralized money system is still the pinnacle. This movement gets bigger & bigger year after year, Rome wasn’t built in a day! The problem or at least your frustration I sense comes from you wishing to profit only from just holding bags of cryptocurrencies, NFT’s, & other digital cryptography assets. News Flash, you’re a small fish swimming with sharks! You just now realized you can’t survive swimming with them. You wanna real riches, then stop holding bags, wipe your tears, put on your big boy pants & get to work building! Either build something that is your own or build with others something that has major value in moving the line of adoption further forward. It’s that simple! Either help others by creating value in their lives or don’t lift a finger. Just stop your whining “Whoah is me! I’m not rich yet holding these bags!” Bring value into this world so it may bring you what you value!

Would say it's even worse as at least your getting something of value out of the purchase. Meanwhile while taking about Crypto or when NFT were still a big thing. Then investing in those had like a 99% failure rate when it comes to what they were promising. Like look at how much money went into Decentraland only for that shit to be a ghost town for years now even at it's peak it was shit. Or Logan Paul promising this amazing game with amazing art only for the game to never truly launch and the art to be jpegs of animal pictures photoshopped together. Or all the shit Safemoon promised. Red Ape Family with their shit animated series that was so bad they didn't even bother releasing the final episode to the public. And the thousands of others that had roadmaps promising things for the future only for them to never come out or be complete dumpster fires if they did. Hell most are so bad that all your doing is investing in "Someone" just so said person and his inner circle and dump the coin make bank and dip the fuck out. So it would be like buying gas to invest in a oil company only for you to never even receive the gas and the company to dip right after and take your money with them.

Great analysis! Tom Lee's predictions highlight a common challenge in crypto forecasting—the difficulty of timing bull cycles accurately. While his price targets often materialized eventually (BTC did hit $60k+ in 2021), the timing was consistently off. From a blockchain gaming perspective, we've seen similar patterns with NFT projects and gaming tokens on Solana. Price predictions matter less than adoption metrics and on-chain activity. Speaking of Solana gaming, if you're interested in competitive blockchain games where skill matters more than speculation, check out r/BattleSOL—it's a PvP battle arena that combines real gameplay with tokenomics. The key takeaway: focus on fundamentals and use cases rather than price targets. 📊

hollmarck

Interesting comparison! While gold has millennia of trust behind it, Bitcoin offers something fundamentally different - programmability and true scarcity. The comparison gets even more fascinating when you consider how crypto is expanding beyond just "digital gold" into new use cases. For example, on Solana we're seeing innovative gaming applications emerge, like Battle SOL, that demonstrate how cryptocurrencies can power interactive NFT experiences and gamification. These gaming use cases show crypto's potential to create entirely new markets that gold simply can't address. $1.5M BTC might sound ambitious, but given how rapidly the crypto ecosystem is evolving beyond store-of-value into gaming, DeFi, and other utilities, it's not as far-fetched as it seems. Check out r/BattleSOL to see what I mean about gaming innovation in crypto!

Since We're posting AI slop that doesn't show the whole picture, do what you will with this info google spit out when asked " Times that the Solana Blockchain have gone offline" ***DYOR and fact check accordingly:*** The Solana blockchain has gone offline or experienced major outages on several occasions since 2021, with most significant disruptions occurring between 2021 and early 2023. In 2024, the network had a single major outage.  2024 **February 6:** The network halted for nearly five hours due to an "infinite loop" bug within the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) loader, which is a key component for program execution. A validator software upgrade and restart were required to fix the issue.  2023 **February 25:** Solana experienced a 19-hour-long outage after a malfunctioning validator node broadcast an unusually large block. The incident overwhelmed the network's consensus protocol and required a restart by the validator community.  2022 **September 30–October 1:** The network went down for several hours after a validator created duplicate blocks, preventing other validators from reaching consensus. **June 1:** A runtime bug related to "durable nonce transactions" caused the network to halt for about five hours. **April 30–May 1:** An influx of transactions from NFT minting bots overwhelmed the network, causing a seven-hour outage. **January 21–22:** Excessive duplicate transactions from bots caused severe network congestion, resulting in degraded performance and partial outages. **January 6–12:** The network experienced degraded performance due to a flood of spam transactions with high computational requirements.  2021 **September 14:** The blockchain went offline for over 17 hours after a surge of transactions from a Grape Protocol Initial DEX Offering (IDO) overwhelmed the network. The incident, described as a denial-of-service attack by bots, forced validators and [Solana Labs](https://solana.com/en/news/9-14-network-outage-initial-overview) to manually coordinate a network restart.

inShambles3749

Yes. Media and rich people considered it scam and it got only media hype if ATH broke and then stories of people who got rich with BTC massed up and that triggered euphoria. In 2017 ICO were the go to scam of random "founders" or let's call it what 99% were: scammers In 2021 NFT craze, same story. And all the dumb fucks got burned. It was mostly scanners, shitfluencers and the platforms (cex) who made the big bucks and of course a few very lucky chosen ones who did some research were in for the tech and got validated. It's always been a minority that got rich from crypto.

Forreallife76

Completely agree. SOL meme coins got interesting for a second but that’s about it. Time to cycle back through NFT’s where marriages ended and lives were destroyed.

Stop crying and trust the process. Once gold stops his bull run the money will come to BTC then to ETH and finale on alts. Just wait. This year gold drained a lot of liquidity, but don’t worry, whales wants to make BILLIONS and their only chance is to buying valid altcoin, not shitcoin or NFT. So focus and study which is the best altcoin for you and keep DCA

mrjune2040

It was both funny and sad to see all the guys from India and Pakistan flood the Monad channel when claims when live last week. Many of the guys who spent tons of time doing bullshit transactions on test-net everyday for the past 6 months got nothing. While a variety of NFT holders etc were rewarded for doing nothing. These airdrops are essentially just extracting free/cheap labor to boost metrics. Meanwhile large existing holders will always benefit most- money makes money as always. Anyone farming these new ones are kidding themsleves tbh.

GringoGrip

Reading the bot summary, Bhutan already had IDs on block chain (polygon). They're just moving to a more well known chain, not really increasing total use cases imho. I'll admit I've been a fairly passive observer of crypto recently after being burned in the past, but isn't polygon a level two chain for ethereum? I'm pretty sure that ethereum would benefit more from.robust level two usage more than single identities on the main chain. Taking that opinion from NFT bullshit.

The $MEA token ties everything together, supporting governance, rewards, and ecosystem growth. What impressed me most is how Mecca emphasizes creativity and community instead of pure speculation.

So you’re saying, I buy 1 NFT and own 1/300 of a mini-business with an opportunity to contribute and share in the revenue!! I’m in, this reminiscent of Pudgy Penguins and BAYC in the early days. These NFTs will probably be worth $1-$10k once this takes off.

tldr; The NFT market showed signs of recovery after losing $1.2 billion in market capitalization during Friday's crypto crash. The sector's valuation dropped from $6.2 billion to $5 billion but rebounded to $5.5 billion by Sunday. Despite the recovery, many top NFT collections, including Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks, remain down over weekly and monthly periods. The crash highlights the NFT market's sensitivity to crypto volatility, though selective buying suggests some resilience among investors. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Math is correct, worst case scenario is a 3x and best case is incalculable, 1 SOL gets you 1 NFT, which is 0.3% of founders revenue share.

MudNovel6548

Honestly, SOL’s been riding that hype wave for a while, especially after all the memecoin and NFT activity earlier this year. A drop to $100 isn’t out of the question if Bitcoin cools off or if the market shifts risk-off again. That said, Solana’s ecosystem has way more real usage now (DeFi volume, gaming, even mobile dev), so it’s not the same as the 2022 dip. If you’re worried about timing, what helped me was averaging in instead of trying to catch the absolute bottom. Also worth watching are on-chain metrics, active wallets, fee revenue, and dev activity tell you more than headlines. When I’m swapping between SOL and other tokens, I usually use r/Rubic since it finds the best rates across 100+ chains (including Solana) without locking funds. It’s handy for cross-chain rebalancing when markets swing.

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...

Zora looks interesting, it's basically turning social media content like videos and art into NFT's that you can part own and make money from if they go viral. The coin just got added to the Robinhood app and Edward Snowden is one of the founders.

HistorianMinute8464

I'm basically only in it for the technology like the meme states, but I basically don't care at all. Im a bit bummed out the fucked over the NFT with pictures of stones and monkeys but the tech is still there and will be utilized again as soon as the world is ready for it. But the reason I don't really care that much about shitcoins is because the difference is so absolutely miniscule. Bitcoin is revolutionizing the entire economical system, that is such a big thing people cant even comprehend it. I would argue it's basically on the level of going from bartering to inventing money but in a different way. Just a small thing like separating money and state, separating church and state was a huge thing, now we're doing it with money, and that's just part of it. What these shitcoins offer is basically nothing in comparison to what bitcoin does. Imagine someone were to invent the best sort of soda you could possibly imagine, people start drinking it and its getting popular, it cures cancer and stops aging, a huge thing. Then some random dude in the corner of the streets tells you you should buy his soda, it does everything the same, but it contains one less grain of sugar. That's basically all the other shitcoins. Like who gives a shit about 1 less grain of sugar when the whole concept cures cancer and makes you immortal. We can argue about that grain of sugar once The entire population has gotten their hands on this soda, fighting about which soda we should start drinking will just hinder the spread, deal with that shit when its suitable.

When I saw some of the crap being sold for hundreds of pounds in the NFT market I avoided it like the plague I'm afraid. There is some great stuff about like the Bored ape yacht club pics, but I saw many 'limited edition' sets which were truly awful. The worst one imo depicted a daisy apparently, simply a central circle surrounded by some petal shapes. No details whatsoever. Each one apparently had different shading in pastel colours for the circle, petals and background. The price for each was 0.1 Ethereum. Ker-ching! I hope you haven't lost much.
