TON trying to build quietly, would it be sustainable in the future ?
by
Firstfrost
on 25/07/2025, 15:41:51 UTC
So I’ve been watching TON for awhile apparently TON is trying to increase its adoption. I just saw the news that TON wallet is available to U.S users now, that’s about additional 87 million users onboarded but my question in the midst of this is; will this reflect in its price action particularly now that the market is bullish.

Given its increasing utility and its user base also expanding. A couple of months back, Telegram also announced its partnership with Elon Musk’s AI, Grok. In all of this i’m just here watching how much growth all this would lead to in the TON ecosystem. Do you think this will increase its potential growth or not, the ecosystem it’s building would it be strong enough to thrive in the future ?

Re: How do you hedge against unexpected volatility while trading futures

...Just yesterday, I went 100% long on POPCAT with 20x leverage. Things looked good at first, but within 30 minutes, the price came back to my entry point and I ended up making nothing on the trade.

You made at least two mistakes. The first mistake is that you decided to trade with high leverage and your position could have been easily liquidated. And the second mistake is that when you saw that your position was in profit, you did not fix a part of it.
20x leverage is very dangerous and liquidation comes when price changes about 5% opposite to your trading position. It is not a leverage to use especially with shit meme tokens which can have rug pulls and crashes anytime.

When trading, use a stop loss order to prevent your loss or at least reduce loss severity. When your open position is in profit, set up an order to stop loss for kind of profit if the market suddenly turns oppositely. It is like positive stop loss and you can set it up proactively for having kind of profit to enjoy and also protect your initial trading capital.
Solid point!! You know this is another tip i’m seeing for the first time, positive stoploss, but it’s also like setting TP so as not to loss all the profits gained within the short time frame. I’d keep that in mind as i’m considering joining Trading club championship on Bitget but i won’t be trading futures but would trade both spot and Onchain instead. It’s good as the Op didn’t end up losing cause most times if a futures trade go against the trader it mostly end up in loss.

Anyone else watched EGL1 before it gained traction ?

I remember scrolling through crypto Twitter in June when I first saw EGL1. At first, I gave it no attention, saw it as just another meme coin. But something about it kept showing up..”in eagle we trust” which made me realize it’s a token that merges American political culture with meme energy. Coming across it on four.meme also made it interesting and since then, I’ve been watching it on a steady.

It’s quite an interesting token tbh, been watching the trading chart, the volume spikes, there was one particular week it almost reached 200M trading volume and also communities started forming. Then EGL1 recently showed up with a Candybomb campaign giving away 850k EGL1 just for trading.

That’s when it hit me, this wasn’t just a random token launched on BSC. It’s strongly narrative-driven, political, and quietly gaining momentum, it’s currently above 100M marketcap. Hopefully, we get to see more political based tokens.

Tho I didn’t ape in immediately, I wanted to understand the play and i got to see raw, meme-powered movement. Now, i finally dived in and no more watching from the sidelines. Anyone else also watched it or dived in before it gained traction ?

Re: Is Community-powered launches the way forward?

One of the approach I came across was by Coresky. Apparently, they allow users to propose and launch meme coins through a no-code interface while the community votes on which projects to incubate. Just like the popular meme launchpad but using a different approach to address rugpulls or pump and dump.

It also airdropped its CSKY tokens to the public but will this approach address the rugpull issues faced by the memecoins industry, that’s my question.
There’s no difference at all; it will not change the fact that these memes are launched for pump and dump.
I can compare this to HYIP monitors, where investors vote for HYIP platforms for people to invest in, but in the end, they will still engage in rug pulls.
The only benefits for voters are that they can get in early so that they can dump after making a profit. It’s still a game of early birds getting the worm; these memes do not contribute to the ecosystem.
I totally understand your point, the space is mostly dominated by pump-and-dump memes/rug pulls. But I think another important thing to note is not all memecoins are built the same anymore.

I’ve noticed community-launched memecoins are starting to evolve beyond just quick pumps. We’ve seen projects where the community drives real utility, for instance CoreSky that i mentioned has its utility(Gamefi) apart from been a community led project. Another recent one is $ANI that did over 5000% in the past week.

Of course, early entry is always a big factor in memecoins trading and other aspects of crypto but the main difference is when a project is transparent and owned by its community, it gives room for more than just a pump.
I’m not insinuating that all memes are valuable but I wouldn't write them all off either. The space is shifting, and some of these projects might surpass our expectations at the end of the day.

Re: Are "Stablecoins" Really Stable?
by
Firstfrost
on 21/07/2025, 12:25:17 UTC
The term “stablecoin” can be often misleading, they are refferred to as stable not because they preserve real-world purchasing power, it’s because they maintain a fixed peg to the U.S. dollar. So while 1 USDT is pegged to the USD which sometimes depreciate, you can’t escape inflation by holding USDT since it’s just a digital version of USD.

They’re stable in crypto terms given it’s not volatile but far from stable in the broader economic sense. Maybe we should stop calling them "stable" and start calling them ‘fiat mirrors’ LOL.

It’s well known that memecoins trading/degen trading is frowned upon by most traders due to market manipulation and its high volatility. However, It seems different devs are applying different approaches to that and I would like your opinion on it.

One of the approach I came across was by Coresky. Apparently, they allow users to propose and launch meme coins through a no-code interface while the community votes on which projects to incubate.

Re: Bitcoin Hits New ATH — What’s Next for Altcoins?
by
Firstfrost
on 14/07/2025, 14:28:25 UTC
Alright, a fresh BTC ATH again! Love to see it, especially with everyone feeling a bit 'meh' lately. Classic indeed, it always seems to happen when you least expect it.

But yeah, the big question is always what happens next for the altcoins. That 'liquidity rotation' is what everyone's waiting for, right? I've been watching ETH/BTC too, and it's been surprisingly flat, even with BTC doing its thing. Makes you wonder if this cycle will follow the old script of L1s first, then narratives, or if something else entirely is brewing.

Part of me hopes it's a bit more distributed this time, so not just the usual suspects pump. But alt dominance being near cycle highs while BTC pushes... that's a head-scratcher.

What specific alt sectors are you guys watching closely for that first big move once BTC takes a breather? Or do you think this time it's less about sectors and more about specific projects with solid tech?
BTC pulling an ATH out of nowhere is truly classic, just when the market was getting bored, it wakes the whole market up.

About altcoin rotation, it’s like capital hasn’t really started flowing down to them yet, which might be another sign that altseason would also pull out of the blue.

Right now, my focus is on AI and RWAs narrative, especially the ones showing real utility. But i also think  we might see isolated surges tied to projects with strong fundamentals and actual utility instead of the previous runs that was based on a specific ecosystem.

Re: What’s your take on Ethereum ecosystem ?
by
Firstfrost
on 10/07/2025, 23:04:10 UTC
Yeah, Ethereum has been the big boys play type of game that requires some certain level of reputable team to deploy on it. If you've been in the system you'll definitely noticed that projects built on Ethereum had been very classic and comes with different style of development. Arbitrum and Optimism has been those projects I've been keeping an eye on to bring lots of liquidity into the Ethereum ecosystem.

Eigenlayer and the rest are pretty new though and I don't know how much volume they must have accumulated and expanded to affect the price of Ethereum positively.
You’re right…Ethereum has always sets a high standard, it’s not the kind of network just any random project without solid utility can launch on. That’s why we see projects built on Ethereum having a unique edge in terms of tech and execution.

Also, Arbitrum and Optimism have been major players in the ecosystem and no doubt Eigenlayer, is also pulling volume as well. As for Tanssi, i’m still watching it coz it listed recently but i love the concept behind it. It’s certain adoption would keep growing and i think all these projects would play a big role in further increasing Ethereum’s value over time. Time would tell, let’s see how it plays out.

Re: If you had to launch a new coin, how will it be different from bitcoin ?
by
Firstfrost
on 10/07/2025, 09:42:35 UTC
I would say something quantum resistant, but even that exists already. I don't think the problem is so much the coin, but rather the usecase. I see most businesses and governments launching and running their own chains in the future. So rather than launching a coin, launching a business that helped people launch their own chains would be the way.
More like a launchpad right ? That’s another solid perspective, an infrastructure that supports others launching their coins could become more impactful than creating another token in the midst of the thousands of coins already in circulation.

What’s your take on Ethereum ecosystem ?
by
Firstfrost
on 09/07/2025, 17:30:33 UTC
Lately, I’ve been exploring the Ethereum ecosystem, the projects, the upgrade effect on the ecosystem and some other aspects. Honestly, i have to admit there’s been positive impacts but i just hope we get to see more uptrend movement in ETH price soon.

I also see some of its projects with solid utility like TANSSI, Eigenlayer and Arbitrum  have gained good traction. Tanssi leveraging Ethereum-grade security to provide a safe infrastructure protocol that enables fast, automated deployment of decentralized appchains is the latest one on the list. Arbitrum and Eigenlayer are also doing their thing and i’ve also noticed there are mixed sentiments about the Pectra upgrade but if we look more into Ethereum projects we’d definitely see there is a lot to unpack. Personally, i still think Ethereum would hit that mark sooner than later. What’s your take ?

Re: Will Gamefi continue to thrive in the crypto space ?
by
Firstfrost
on 09/07/2025, 07:54:40 UTC
I was having a discussion with a friend some days ago about the potential relevance of some ecosystem in the next few years particularly gamefi. You know different users would definitely have different opinions, i realized many are positive about Gamefi’s potential.

Honestly, i didn’t expect to see more gamefi projects thriving this year after the drastic drop in the ecosystem last year. However, it seems to be the resilient one, i can see we might see more projects on that ecosystem later this year. I came to this conclusion after seeing Binance and Bitget are to list another gamefi, RCADE. Though, i’m not participating in these games/projects but i’m always down to know how well they would be received post-launch.
I’m sure gaming fanatics would have loved it but for me reading and exploring these projects is a passion, for instance RCADE supports revolving games that built Skyborne genesis and Project Nova and currently have a RPG game based on Polygon under development. By the way, what would you say about Gamefi currently ?
Gamefi is about how they can adapt to the latest gaming system in crypto. Because most Gamefi products only offer a P2E system, play then get some tokens sold and nothing more. Honestly innovation in the Gamefi industry until now has not been different, regardless of the game being run, adopters only want to play when they are paid. If there is no payment that is worth it, the game will be quiet.

Play - get tokens - sell - dump - repeat. that can't be denied, right?
It’s not pleasing to see that people are not engaging with Gamefi for fun anymore but rather only when there monetary rewards attached. But that’s just what the community has grown to be so projects got no choice than to apply the P2E system but the ones who apply a another systematic approach would definitely stand out, i feel RCADE is different though i’m still observing for now.

Re: Best Anime to Start With: Recommendations?
by
Firstfrost
on 07/07/2025, 08:37:40 UTC
If you’re new to anime and wondering where to begin, some of the best anime to start with include classics like Naruto, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, and Death Note. These shows offer gripping stories, memorable characters, and stunning animation—perfect for beginners. Much like discovering quality book publishing services helps authors launch their first book successfully, finding the right anime ensures an engaging entry into the genre. Start with one that fits your taste—whether action, drama, or fantasy—and you’ll be hooked in no time.
I think i’ve heard about Naruto a couple of times, probably i’d start with that. Not a fan of anime but want to watch some out of curiosity, the hype around anime is much, probably if i start watching, I’d understand if it’s worth the hype.

Re: You've got to Improve yourself

Firstfrost
on 07/07/2025, 08:28:14 UTC
You are absolutely right. Improvement absolutely leads to financial growth and not only skill improvement but also mindset improvement. Too many people chase success without realizing it comes from long-term commitment and personal development. You know what? Some already know but are too lazy to commit or are just used to giving the bare minimum.

It’s interesting  that many today has misunderstood working smart with cutting corners, i’ve realized this is the mantra many are following today resulting to them not wanting to work hard. Many want to ‘flex’ like they would call it but are not ready to put it the required work(discipline, learning and commitment). I can also add that’s the reason scammers are getting too much nowadays.

People often forget that no matter the amount of efforts put in can never be wasted. If it doesn’t payviff immediately it will definitely pay off in the long run.

Re: Another approach towards security, what do you think ?

This project is shitty.

Instead of getting multi billionaire backed project in which you can put your faith that your data won't be leaked to certain extent and get rewarded with $30+ like worldcoin you got some random project developer gathering your hand data for god knows what they gonna do with it and in exchange you get $1.
Eitherway I'm not doing both though.
You got it wrong, though I participated, i decided not to do PoH verification which was the last step to be eligible after i realized the TS instead i leveraged candybomb, trade and won some tokens . That’s the reason i asked if anyone else was eligible because most people did the verification process.

Re: When will we see an Altcoin-Season again?
by
Firstfrost
on 28/06/2025, 11:00:50 UTC
One question we should notice is when it comes to altcoins is when we will see a new Altcoin season. Or even if we will have again an Altcoin season, because it is likely, altcoins will no longer be able to gain significant ground against Bitcoin.
Recently, we have been very weak for leading Altcoins and Bitcoin has been able to mark numerous new all-time highs, while our Altcoins have not come close to previous peaks.
So what is your opinion, when will we see a new Altcoin season or will we not see again an Altcoin season?
I’ve seen a lot of traders asking this question because altcoins pump used to follow Bitcoin rally but this cycle seems different. I’m actually not expecting much from altcoins this cycle due to Bitcoin’s increased dominance, we’ve seen that  institutional money is more focused on Bitcoin compared to altcoins. This is another factor to know that altcoin season should not be anticipated as much because old patterns might be shifting.

However, i don’t think altseason is dead, i just feel we might see a mid altseason this cycle compared to the past broad seasons(that’s if we have one).

Another approach towards security, what do you think ?
by

on 26/06/2025, 14:52:46 UTC
I recall vividly when i came across Humanity Protocol last year, i read its whitepaper then realized it was building a decentralized solution that uses PoH protocol to differentiate bots from human by leveraging palm scanners. I saw it as a cool way towards a more secure and human centric digital ecosystem, then went ahead to participate.

Forward to this year when the tokenomics was released, i realized the TS is 10 billion, i was still optimistic, thought the points would be 1:1 but turned out the points would be slashed. When it listed on Binance alongside Bitget, saw the price was fair but was not satisfied. The optimism in me wouldn’t let me down so, decided to join the candybomb, given i do trade frequently anyways. Honestly, I expected more given the utility made much sense than some projects that launched with recycled utility. By the way, I would like to know your thoughts on it overall performance, also were you eligible ?

Re: What’s your expectations on BLUM post-TGE ?
by
Firstfrost
on 25/06/2025, 16:49:46 UTC
Shitcoins from Telegram Bots are mostly now garbage after listing and not sure this shitcoin will have a high price, many are skeptical, including the allocation they receive only 30% and then the rest is vesting.

Don't expect too much, when it doesn't match your expectations, maybe you will be disappointed with the bad results.
As said in other people the developer has earned a lot of money, the developer has also had problems with the funds in the past.

It's just a waste of time and money to participate with unstable developers, the previous Blum project leader had problems and that's what makes me hate this project, they are too much in terms of their self-claims, in fact they are almost destroyed, but we know that they are still in deficit and continue to want to continue this rotten project.

All shitcoins are the same, what is built on the TON network has not shown their benefits to the wider community, they only spread hype.
TON is one ecosystem i believe in its potential, however it might take a while for it to bounce back but for now we’d just keep observing. Also, for BLUM i’m not keeping my expectations too high, given it’s added utility over the past few months. It evolved from a gaming project to a DEX launchpad, let’s just wait for the listing…

What’s your expectations on BLUM post-TGE ?
by

on 25/06/2025, 14:01:22 UTC
I posted yesterday about missing out of potential airdrops but i was lucky to join Blum early on Telegram last year. Apparently users have mixed sentiments online about its listing potential.

Well, personally i don’t want to conclude yet given they delayed listing, this might be for better listing who knows, it might surpass our expectations afterall. Some participants stated they didn’t give up on Blum just to get to the end of it while some stated Blum is the last airdrop they’d farm, I don’t blame them though due to past underperforming projects but after coming across its listing announcement. I’m kinda more bullish than bearish about it. Projects are mostly unpredictable but what’s your Blum price prediction ?
