The war situation in the Middle East is not the only factor affecting the market, Trump's tariff war or the Fed's refusal to lower interest rates also have a significant impact. The Middle East news is quieting down but the tariff news is back and as we saw how it affected when Trump decided to impose tariffs.


Trump's tariff moratorium is set to end on July 8, and few countries have reached trade deals with him, so far. So, we need to pay attention to this factor because it has an even more significant impact on the market than the war in the Middle East or any other news.

Whether Bitcoin can hit $120k this month will depend on the outcome of the tariff war, IMO.

I’m just thinking out loud here, not trying to crown anything, but what if these “decentralized cybersecurity” projects start getting the same kind of cult energy L2s or AI coins had last cycle?

Like, we’ve been aping into frog coins and “stealth launched” garbage with zero utility for months… meanwhile there’s this protocol apparently building post-quantum security infrastructure, and it’s getting listed on Binance Alpha and Futures on the same day. With 50x leverage. That’s… bold.

But let’s be real: how many “serious” projects have dropped with the same fanfare and ended up doing absolutely nothing? Half of them couldn’t even ship a working dashboard.

So I’m torn. Is this actually something new, or just another marketing masterclass dropping right when the market needs a new buzzword?

Has anyone here seen anything like this done well before? Real-time AI threat detection, validator mesh networks, all that layered techno-babble, is it just smoke, or something with legs?

Not trying to hype it. Just genuinely confused if I should be paying attention or rolling my eyes like usual.

is this worth digging into, or are we just dressing up old narratives with shinier words again?

Yes, Defi is the largest on Solana because they provide and serve as a crucial bridge for every transaction activity. Infrastructure is complementary but not overpowering. I don't think MPLX is a concern because it serves as the primary channel/main infrastructure for meeting community needs.

Isn't being a LP more attractive, and the benefits can be varied?

I do not understand all this hype for memes when all we saw are first movers making a bit of money and everyone else lose a ton of money. I get that there are people who are paid to shill, even if in token, so I get some topics, but it is really boring to keep seeing them.

Aren't there like some decent projects that pay people to do the same thing?

There should be, and when we let the world do whatever, apparently and evidently we are seeing just memes being shilled.

I have been around for years, and I have met with hundreds of people who lost a ton of money on memes, and I have met only 2 people who made some money. The odds right now for me is about 1% of making money from these, so there is really no logical reason to invest.

90% of the time its just some group flipping on thin liquidity, the pump is there to attract people to buy or in other words to attract liquidity.

I really don't believe altcoin with low liquidity to pump out of nowhere unless its manipulation.

There are also cases where people are laundering their money using shitcoin basically buying and selling themselves, it could be one of the many reasons.

It's not easy to say.

Honestly, I am a victim of a pump and dump many years ago during the ICO days. I always tell myself to never repeat the same mistake that I made before, and so it becomes really difficult when picking a memecoin that I want to buy. Then, I sell them as fast as I can, especially when I see a profit. That's what I did with Shiba Inu. I saw that it's the kind of thing, a pump and dump. Bought it at its very low price and sold it when I doubled my investment.
That's why I say that you cannot tell if a memecoin is a pump and dump. You will need to monitor them to get in or out if you want to.

This one.

Making up altcoins is already that easy and providing liquidity with a very low amount of capital then you can start up or launch with your own meme coin, and since it is that easy to make then it would be that too easy to make out some rugpull projects and this is already that very known a long time ago with these meme coins. Its never been that recommended that you do make yourself that getting FOMO if you do then you would be having that possibility that you would be losing all the time with the money that you are investing into and thats why you should be that careful into this aspect.

Here's some guide too.

This is why it would be that soo hard to trust up new meme coins projects as that its that too easy to create one. Only a few will be able to make out some
moon shot and if you arent that wise enough on taking profits then you would definitely be losing money.

This week has been about memecoins and I don't think the trend is ending anytime soon as long as we still have influential people in the space, and Elon has been pushing meme narratives throughout the last week.

The meme market lately has been on fire and things are looking really bullish. Elon Musk has been talking a lot about ANI as a companion for grok, and that alone has caused the token to take off. It’s now sitting at around a $40 million market cap and still climbing.

Then there's Pengu, one of the OG meme tokens. It’s been getting support from big platforms like OpenSea and Polkadot, and it’s up around 400% in the past month. That kind of move shows there’s strong community backing and growing interest.

I’ve been watching both closely. I’m already in ANI and it’s been a solid play so far. Still waiting for a good entry on Pengu the price action is wild but promising.

What meme coins are you keeping an eye on right now? I know degen traders will be aware or updated about this, any opinion about this will be good.

My standard for recognizing a project with utility is simple actually, if they are not just reinventing the wheel and they actually got a working product with revenue then the utility is there.

Unfortunately most project just redoing what has been done just to get some valuation of the market so the devs can inflate their wealth which isn't a good thing and 95% of altcoin market is just that.

It is because what the people is asking for and with them, they're not giving an actual utility but only an answer to the demand without actually doing it.

That's right, real world issues and problems and utilities should be solving these real world problems.

It's simple, a real use case. There is a real world application where these tokens are being spent, and incentivized to its holders.
