$OP dumped by 32% since Base's announcement of leaving Op Stack- Superchain.
I was excited for Base being part of the Superchain and they worked together on a single interoperability solution which would improve crypto UX.
But since Vitalik's post on L2s and plans to scale Ethereum L1, it's perhaps less relevant as I hope most activity will focus on the L1 anyway.

Etherfi's $ETHFI trades at 3x the market cap of Eigenlayer's $EIGEN.
Or 1.3x the FDV.
Let that sink in:
An app that started as a liquid restaking wrapper on Eigenlayer now trades higher than the protocol it depended on.
Etherfi pivoted to a credit card with a cashback. Nothing too fancy and multiple competitors do the same thing (although most are debit cards).
Eigenlayer also pivoted to EigenCloud: verifiable cloud computing with EigenDA, EigenCompute, and EigenVerify.
EigenCloud is technically more impressive. And few understand what it actually does.
But a simple card that solves 'how do I

What would it take for $ETH to switch to onchain governance?
Right now Ethereum governance is offchain:
Core devs propose EIPs, the community debates, and social consensus decides what gets implemented.
Staking gives you validator power and yield but zero say in protocol direction.
So currently even DeFi tokens like $UNI and $AAVE have more utility in governance than $ETH.
Vitalik opposes token voting for protocol governance as anyone with enough capital could buy 51% and capture governance.
But that's unlikely because the costs would be too great.
More importantly, Vitalik now pushes to 'ossi

One day, BlackRock buying $UNI and Apollo buying MORPHO will look like obvious key crypto turning point.
I say one day, because the market is underpricing these moves.
TradFi companies entering crypto not via ETFs but direct token acquisitions is a big deal.
They'll likely use tokens for governance allowing them to influence the rules of the infra they use.
This matters because 1) governance stops being a pure meme, and 2) it also brings institutional expertise to our onchain world.
Most importantly for our bags, it validates that tokens are finally investible.
I'm curious if it wasn't Blackro

The only way I'll make real money from Polymarket is the $POLY token.
I don't have an edge in sports betting or political events (no insider info).
I'm not confident enough to size up against rates traders or other economic data.
Arbitraging between Kalshi & Polymarket seems too late now to compete with MMs.
Hedging my crypto longs is the only trade that actually makes sense for me.
Thus airdrop with the highest multiplier for early adoptoooors is my biggest hope.
And, if that happens, trading the token itself is a game I'm willing to play.

Base pivoting from social feed to trading offers me great money-making opportunities.
I buy some shitcoin from my public wallet, followers see what I buy, they buy after me -> price up.
What they don't see is me buying that shitcoin from a non-doxxed wallet before purchasing it from the public one.
When price goes up, I sell from the non-doxxed wallet. To save my face, I would continue to hold on the public one.
This is nothing new. So many notable KOLs do it all the time.
But:
- it continues to work
- Base will make it more socially acceptable and easy to do so
Especially if Base app picks up

Crypto isn't cool because we optimized for Boomers.
ETFs and regulation are necessary, but we sold out the original spirit to get them.
In the process, we sidelined the actual majority. 2025 Gemini survey found 51% of Gen Z owns crypto.
More than Millennials (49%) and Gen X (29%).
Even worse, by focusing on dumping on boomers, we've completely sidelined Gen Z.
They're cooked by tradfi, worried about AI taking jobs, unaffordable housing...
And crypto fails to offer a solution.
Now I bet that Gen Z is leaving crypto at the fastest rate. They got rekt on memecoins, NFTs, gamefi and every other re

Learning crypto was much harder than learning AI now. We had to go to forums or ask on X to check ‘why my transaction stuck on Metamask’ and then learn how to reset wallet, RPC etc. Then get scammed once or twice while doing so. Learning to use AI is fundamentally different:You try to build stuff, it doesn’t work and you ask AI how to make it work. Repeat until it works.

AI vibing tools are improving, but many APIs that were previously free now require payment, limiting my ability to experiment.e.g., a few months ago Claude could scan my EVM and Solana wallet history, and make great reports. Now it failed at the task, hitting AI limits.API limits and paywalls are becoming significant bottlenecks for me.And I also believe API providers with unique data are selling shovels in this AI gold rush.

Weirdly, I already lost the mental attachment to my ATH number of my portfolio. Just a month ago it used to bug me for failing to sell the top. But this market bleed replaced FOMO with a new mental state. Now, my brain tells me to protect what I got, survive, and research new opportunities. This is how acceptance feels!

The major bearish argument against crypto is China. They ban it seeing it as net negative for society and promote their own CBDC.
