Nick Saban & Alabama did something to this man’s brain. Can he do it again?

I think Aave will dominate loans but it seems Morpho will be a nice second. That used to be compound.

politics

Toyota is up +8% on the news of a 15% tariff.

Why?

It's simple. 

Ford, GM, Tesla, and all the other American manufacturers are going to be paying 50% more for their steel, 50% more for their copper, 25% more for their Canadian production, 25% more for their Mexican production, https://t.co/k6vHpFFLZp

Also I can physically feel the cheapness of the L1 with the gas limit at 45M. Thank you validators. Wherever you are.

How do all L2s turn profitable? How long can they function at a loss? These ecosystems need to take off

BREAKING: DOJ has told Donald Trump his name is in the Epstein files, per WSJ

DeFi so juicy rn people installing to yield chase.

Something big is happening in Ethereum staking.

The Ethereum validator exit queue just hit its highest level in over a year - more than 520,000 ETH that’s over $1.9 billion at current prices, lined up to leave.

This queue will take ~19 days to fully clear.

Memes

BREAKING: Ghislaine Maxwell may strike deal with the Trump administration in exchange for information related to Jeffrey Epstein, per former Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz.

She’s gonna say he wasn’t a diddler and he wasn’t that close to Epstein. She’s gonna say what he wants. For a pardon. There’s no way Trump escapes this debacle without looking like a diddler or complicit with diddling.

Now that I have a world ID, I want to see it online. No more captchas on crypto sites

Home prices prepping to skyrocket. Very lazy policy. We need more housing and instead of incentivizing building, they are incentivizing selling.

BREAKING: US considering removing tax on capital gains on home sales, per Reuters

Dickbutt

Attention is the currency and $dickbutt is the best meme coin on base
1D=1B

I’ve argued with this concept for a long time. I’ve come to realize attention is in fact currency and memes are eternal. 

$dickbutt to 1B

GM degens- here is an AltSeason Prep Checklist:

1. Unstake all altCoins, including $ETH (b/c you wont be happy about a 7 or 14 or longer day unlock when you want to exit a position, staking lines will be crazy, staking will be frustrating complicated, platforms will make it impossible, ...)

2. Exit positions in first cycle protocols, like Eigenlayer (b/c these protocols are not battle tested- some will not be able to handle the load of altseason, many will prove to be / to become scams)

3. Take altcoins off of CEXs and into self-custody (b/c exchanges crash during altseason; others fails)- we are entering that time of the cycle when "not your keys, not your crypto" is extra important

4. Have a plan (b/c FOMO is flippin' real) 

5. Ignore all talk of the super cycle (b/c the bear market will come, quickly)

6. Close all approvals and get serious about wallet health and best practices (b/c altseason is also theftseason and exploits will be also going parabolic) also, breathe before clicking on links in X, farcaster, email etc. Those mediums will be attack vectors.

7. If you dont have cold storage, ask a friend to slap you and then buy one now (b/c your funds are vulnerable on browser wallets and hardware wallets are not easy to buy during the bananza)

_thinking_... will add to this list as we go deeper ...

Bringing here for more visibility. Appreciate a veteran

Taking a lot of risk off the table this week. Moving out of experimental projects. Need to get out of a few more. 

No more forks! Got stressed dealing with a compound fork on Scroll. 90% on the L1 now cause no more chicanery. Spoon GANG!

A 15% tariff on Japan is absurd. The only reason people are breathing sighs of relief is simply because he’s already taken your breath away with 1,000,000% tariffs on China. 

In an age of global uncertainty, this exacerbates it. Japan makes the best cars. If you own one get ready to see your maintenance go up.
