🚨 The $1 .5 million CryptoPunks 2386 just sold for just $23 ,000 in a stroke of genius.

To put this into context, you should know that this CryptoPunk was split into 10,000 ERC20 tokens on 09/26/2020, and distributed among 257 holders, via a platform now out of service called Niftex.

Indeed, this NFT being very rare, it had been split in order to become more affordable and to allow everyone to own a part of a Punks.

But with the platform closed, it became difficult to sell or buy a fragment of this Punk.

However, the smart contract linked to the NFT remained valid on the blockchain, and an individual activated a buyback feature to ultimately take possession of the NFT for a fraction of its current value.

"Any shareholder can propose a buyout price, and if no one counters, he can buy the asset after 14 days."

So the offer was 0.001 ETH per share, or 10 ETH for the 10,000 shares. And the countdown that almost no one could see began.

After the 14 days, the individual got his hands on the NFT for a pittance.

Developer 0xQuit calls the operation the "theft of the century."

If the government was a real business it would have been bankrupt a long time ago. The only thing keeping it going is the fact that people pay their taxes out of fear of going to jail if they don't (violence) and most importantly THE MAGIC MONEY PRINTER.

Further proof of the charade: the US government has hired 87,000 new agents to collect taxes with an average salary of 100k/year.

So this cost taxpayers $8 .7 billion and these agents managed to collect $1 .3 billion.

So, a deficit of -$7.4 billion... which will be paid by taxpayers. And of course the government will boast about having collected $1 .3 billion more in taxes.

How did we get here?

Phantom, Solana’s most widely used wallet provider, has drawn criticism from some users for charging fees on in-app token swaps.

While some disgruntled community members attacked Phantom, voices across the Solana ecosystem came to the wallet’s defence. Reigniting debate around business models in the Web3 world, Phantom’s supporters argue that the platform has a right to generate revenue.

In an industry where meme coin presales can raise over $40M , is it fair to attack businesses providing essential services for charging easily avoidable fees?

SOLANA COMMUNITY MEMBERS COMPLAIN ABOUT 0.85% SWAP FEE
Frustrated Solana users have taken to 𝕏 to air their grievances about Phantom’s in-app swap fees. The public outrage came following circulation of data suggesting that the wallet provider generated over $30M in revenue through token swaps.

Comparisons between quotes between wallets and DEX aggregator Jupiter only added further fuel to the fire. Perhaps spurred on by stagnant market conditions, commentators on social media remarked that discrepancies between swaps provided by Phantom and Jupiter were “actually ridiculous.”

Eagle-eyed users remarked that the data wasn’t wholly accurate. Galactic Geckos founder Genuine Articles highlighted that the $30M figure was lower than expected, before Fabiano.sol, the influencer who originally shared the data, acknowledged that Phantom would’ve generated over $10M through in-app token swaps in 2021 alone.

While it’s obvious that traders can access better rates by using platforms like Jupiter directly, can Wallet providers be blamed for charging fees on value-added services?

Is the Slander Against Phantom Justified?
Content creator and former Phantom team member Seb Montgomery countered the attacks levied against Phantom. Arguing that every business has operational costs that need paid, Montgomery asserted that “Dapps, apps, wallets, etc. need revenue or they close up shop, and head home.”

Hammering his points home, Montgomery reminded Solana users of their double standards. The content creator highlighted how network participants were willing to provide over $40M to the $WATER memecoin presale, but criticized an 0.8% fee on services offered by one of Solana’s longest-standing products.

“You have probably lost $1000s on the pure rubbish. So don't be a clown and not support the wallets that make it all possible.” - Seb Montgomery

Montgomery also acknowledged that Solana owes much of its success to Phantom. Paying homage to Phantom’s position as Solana’s most widely used wallet, Montgomery asserted “Without Phantom, Solana's success would not have been anywhere near where it got to.”

WHICH WALLET GIVES THE BEST VALUE ON SWAPS?
While traders and users looking for the best rates should always go directly to decentralized exchanges or aggregators, it’s also worth knowing the various in-app swap rates of different wallets.

Fuse Wallet - 0%

Solflare - 0.8%

Phantom - 0.85%

Backpack - 0.85%

It should also be noted that all Solana wallets route their trades through Jupiter. Solana’s leading DEX aggregator typically offers the best rates on trades and allows third-party apps to add fees onto swaps.

Despite some traders expressing frustration, Phantom and other wallet providers have always been transparent and forthcoming about in-app swap fees. Using wallet-based swaps is completely optional and easily bypassed. Trader’s complaints are hardly unresolved.

Prices may be down, but Grayscale's making bull market bets if you know where to look.

These are the assets that have caught the attention of Crypto's Wall Street whisperer 👇

========================================

When Grayscale announces a new Trust for a particular asset, the market often reacts with a mix of excitement and skepticism.

It's a bit like a double-edged sword: a signal of saturation for some and a beacon of hope for others.

Some might interpret the launch as a sign that the market for that asset is reaching saturation or at least limited upside potential in crypto terms.

On the one hand, it’s a stamp of approval from a major player in the crypto space. It can lend legitimacy to the asset, potentially attracting institutional investors, and, at the very least, boost media coverage.

Grayscale has been adding new investment products at a faster clip, showcasing their conviction that we’re in the middle innings of a crypto bull market fueled by a grand slam of bullish signals: #Bitcoin ETF inflows, the long-awaited $ETH ETF launch, increasing stablecoin adoption, and steady growth in TVL across DeFi.

As a quiet giant in the industry, investors continue to watch what Grayscale is backing and what that says about their impressions of which direction the industry is headed. What assets have caught their attention lately? Let's find out. 👇

----------------------------------------------------------

Grayscale Decentralized AI Fund (FIL, NEAR, RNDR, LPT, TAO)

Grayscale Bittensor Trust (TAO)
Bittensor envisions a world where AI isn't a tool in the hands of a few corporations but a resource democratized for all. It aims to create an "Internet of AI" where everyone can contribute and benefit from AI models. $TAO incentivizes participants to contribute to the network by providing rewards for tasks like validating models and running AI computations.

As the AI race among big tech companies heats up, Grayscale believes that Bittensor offers a compelling alternative approach towards AI development, one that encourages a wider range of participants and ideas.

Grayscale SUI Trust (SUI)
$Sui boasts a novel blockchain design that prioritizes scalability and user experience. It allows for parallel processing, tackling multiple transactions simultaneously.
SuiNetwork
's competitive edge comes down to its custom-built programming language, Sui Move, which streamlines smart contract development and execution.

As the need for blockspace and faster execution in crypto increases, Grayscale believes that Sui opens the door to a new wave of decentralized applications that were previously limited by existing blockchain infrastructure.

The Grayscale Effect
Overall, the impact of a Grayscale Trust launch is highly subjective to the specific asset. By no means does it signify that the asset is destined for greatness. Take the Grayscale Decentraland Trust (MANA), for instance.

The key takeaway is that Grayscale's bullish outlook on crypto is evident in its recent product launches. They believe we're currently in a bull market and are positioning themselves accordingly.

📈 Bitcoin has failed to reclaim the important $60k support area in recent days ❌

With additional selling pressure from disappointing US economic numbers, the price dipped further below $55k today.

The analysis is simple here, BTC remains in its 6-month range and accumulation continues with very likely an imminent retest of the bottom of the pattern in yellow towards $49k -$50k.

Will we have a final retest of the bottom of the pattern before the bullish explosion with around $90k by the end of the year? This is the scenario I favor after a halving that is moving further and further away and a very long accumulation that is making some lose patience and hope 😴

The technical side is not so bad, however the economic context will have to follow, because unfortunately the crypto market remains very sensitive to it.

We have been patient, and we will have to remain so for a few more weeks, but let's not give up 💪

Magic Eden, Solana’s leading NFT marketplace by trading volume, has surprised network participants with an unexpected announcement.

On September 5, the crypto juggernaut revealed it would be splitting its trading platform into two separate sites, Magic Eden International and Magic Eden US.

The move has drawn skepticism from the wider community, who speculate that the regulatory landscape in the U.S. could impact user eligibility for Magic Eden’s highly-anticipated airdrop.

MAGIC EDEN'S U.S. USERS FEAR AIRDROP EXCLUSION
In the official announcement, Magic Eden posited that the U.S. site “will still have great products you know and love while .IO [the international site] will give us the ability to cook up (and sauté) even more features…”, suggesting that the U.S. platform will offer a limited range of services compared to its international equivalent.

Magic Eden users have expressed concerns that these limitations could extend to airdrop eligibility. Throughout the year, Solana users based in the United States have frequently found themselves unable to claim tokens due to geographic restrictions.

Due to regulatory concerns and the ongoing scrutiny of the SEC (Securities and Exchanges Commission), many crypto projects, like Sanctum and Grass, avoid distributing airdropped tokens to U.S. users.

Regulatory clarity around NFTs and digital assets were further exacerbated in late August, when the SEC issued a Wells notice to OpenSea, an alternative NFT marketplace.

Claiming that the platform facilitated the sale of unregistered securities, the notice serves as a preliminary warning and often precedes formal legal action.

In what could be considered a tongue-in-cheek gag, the official Magic Eden 𝕏 account also added a playful line to it’s bio, stipulating that “Tweets are only for non US Residents”.

SolanaFloor engaged the Magic Eden Foundation for clarity sounding the airdrop eligibility of its U.S. users. At press time, the Magic Eden Foundation declined to respond.

$ME TRADES AT.20 DESPITE LACK OF TOKENOMIC CLARITY
Since the initial announcement of the Magic Eden airdrop, pre-market trading for $ME has witnessed volatility. After opening at.08 on August 28, $ME pre-market prices rose as high as.24 before stabilizing at.20.

Despite attracting over $700 ,000 in trading volume, pre-market trading platform Whales Market has been criticized for opening a market for a coin with an unknown supply.

Without any publicly revealed tokenomics, pre-market traders are speculating on $ME at unknown valuations, which could lead to significant losses for participants.

COINGECKO NAMES MAGIC EDEN CRYPTO’S LARGEST NFT MARKETPLACE
Despite 2024’s NFT market suffering challenging conditions and diminishing volumes throughout the year, Magic Eden has managed to reassert its position as the industry’s top marketplace.

Coingecko, a popular cryptocurrency analysis site, recently declared Magic Eden as 2024’s top NFT marketplace. Boasting 36.7% market share, much of Magic Eden’s success this year could be credited to its adoption of the Bitcoin ecosystem, including its integration of Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens, and Runes.

We are 180 days into a correction since we made an ATH in Bitcoin and market sentiment is worse than when BTC was at 15K.

Ethereum has lost nearly $250 billion in market cap over the summer, even with ETFs coming to market.

And what happened?

> Massive exits and sales by Grayscale.
> Massive MT.GOX distributions.
> Mass distributions from the United States.
> Germany selling +50,000 BTC.

And what is to come?

> US interest rate cuts.
> Gradual increase in global liquidity.
> United States elections.
> FTX Refunds (+$16B).

And all this with stablecoins reaching all-time highs.

Is this the end? Are we all going to die?

I don't believe it.

For me nothing has changed.

Nobody said the bull market was going to be easy.

The best, for me, is yet to come.

You already know what happened next, the times when the feeling was as shattered and terrifying as the one we are experiencing now.

The difficult moments are what separate babies with poop on their butts from legends.

Everyone is very pro, everyone is very cocky, very gangster and very brave until it is time to buy the dip when at all hours they say that we are going to visit lower areas and everyone is terrified and with their balls in their throat.

We've all heard "If you come down to X area I'm going to put my house in your house" then they come down and shit their pants and don't buy.

It seems like a meme, but it is not.

There is something that will never change.

> The vast majority of people will sell out of fear.
> The vast majority of people will buy out of euphoria.

And it is certainly the fastest way to lose money in this market.

Sorry, I didn't make up the rules of the game.

The road will be long and there will be monsters and corpses along the way, just try not to make it yours.

The bull market is not over.

They just want to steal your magic internet coins so that when they spend billions on marketing, they can buy them back at an exorbitant price.

Nothing has changed.

Patience, conviction, buy the dip & chill 🏝️

Whales are accumulating #Bitcoin at record levels over the past 17 months. Let's recall the market situation we were in 17 months ago: just a few months after the start of the bull market.

It is clear that we are facing TREMENDOUS purchase prices for the next 12 months, both in #btc and #altcoins .

If you are not able to see it now, it is because you have not been around for long, you lack training, and you trust what the brother-in-law of the neighbor on the 3rd floor or your trusted baker tells you, the typical retailer that the whales manipulate as they want, and who believes that BTC will fall to $30K .

You'll regret it in a year, save this post. I was already right in 2022 when BTC was at $20K and I announced the start of the bull market, the rest was history, and I will be right again now.

BullVerse Update

BullPad
There have been numerous inquiries regarding BullPad, and we would like to address them. After careful consideration, the team has decided that launching BullPad at this time would not be beneficial. The market sentiment remains highly bearish, trading volumes across financial markets are low, and overall uncertainty persists. Furthermore, Pump.fun’s volume has decreased by 95% from its all-time high. All signs indicate that this is not the ideal time to release a launchpad. However, we remain fully committed to launching it when market conditions are more favorable.

BullPay
BullPay is currently in beta (available at bullpay.fun). As well-needed solution in the space, it is connected to a lot of upcoming features inisde the platform. BullPay will serve not only as a marketplace but also as a crypto payment gateway, like Stripe or PayPal for crypto transactions. We developed an API kit allowing our partners to get paid from their website or mobile app.

Activity Rewards & User Experience
We are still working on developing a sustainable, more gamified and automated solution for activity rewards. Once this is finalized, we will announce it, and automated payouts will resume.

The BullVerse Ecosystem
It’s important to note that BullVerse is a long-term project. We are continually enhancing user, partner, and community engagement. As with any major project, development will unfold progressively rather than all at once.

Communication
The team is working tirelessly behind the scenes to improve the BullVerse ecosystem daily. Many individuals are involved, and significant resources have been invested in this project. Our commitment is unwavering, and we continue to expand our network by forming strategic partnerships, which are crucial for long-term growth. The vision is clear and we are enjoying the journey.

Teasers
Our primary focus has been on laying a strong foundation by creating a stable platform that incorporates both incentives and crypto utilities. Our main goal is to deliver a clear and practical use case that attracts the visibility BullVerse deserves. As a utility project, we view this as a key driver of our success: BullVerse should not just be about content, but also a hub where crypto enthusiasts can speculate, win, lose, be rewarded, and find their community. Something exciting is coming very soon..

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES TO DePIN GROWTH??
In a recent appearance at ETHToronto, Frank Mathis highlights the next steps for DePIN’s future.

GenesysGo founder Frank Mathis is no stranger to the highs and lows of crypto’s thriving DePIN sector.

Drawing on his years of experience, Mathis joined other DePIN thought leaders at ETHToronto, including Helium COO Scott Sigel, to discuss the future of the sector.

“If DePIN solves that, DePIN is inevitable”
Like many passionate crypto community members, DePIN advocates staunchly argue that DePIN is inevitable. Speaking to hundreds of crypto enthusiasts at ETHToronto, Mathis offered a refreshing point of view.

The GenesysGo founder argues that value creation for contributors is one of the most integral aspects of running successful DePIN networks. Mathis highlighted that, while DePIN promises to reward contributors as decentralized software scales, “it’s shocking how much of that is running on AWS and Google Cloud.”

For example, over 50% of Ethereum node operators are hosted on AWS, Hetzner, and OVH servers.

Reiterating the importance of wealth creation for contributors, Mathis contends “what DePIN really is, is an attempt to take one of the most centralized layers of the stack and decentralize that amongst the people such that they start to participate in the growth and success of these models.”

GenesysGo’s ShdwDrive is one such example. The decentralized storage solution empowers users to earn $SHDW tokens by providing unused mobile storage to a distributed network, directly generating income from a device that lives in their pocket.

Reflecting the ideal DePIN model proposed by Mathis, network contributors benefit from the growth and success of the platform. The GenesysGo founder reinforced this notion, opining “DePIN is only as inevitable as the value that participants in the network get from it… if DePIN solves that, DePIN is inevitable.”

POOR PERFORMANCE “ONE OF THE BIGGEST FAILINGS OF DePIN”
On paper, the benefits of DePINs are obvious. However, in practice, these platforms often sacrifice performance and scalability in favor of decentralization. While this aids in value creation for contributors and increases security, it actually hamstrings performance and growth.

DePIN is often considered the natural evolution of the sharing economy, which delivered iconic businesses like Uber and Airbnb.

Drawing parallels between the pearls of the sharing economy and emerging DePIN projects, Mathis illustrated that “Uber became highly successful, not just because you’re able to share in pieces of things you don’t use everyday.. but because it worked well, it was fast, it was easy to use.”

Mathis argues that for DePIN projects to truly take off, they need to rival the performance standards set by centralized industry leaders. Referencing his experience with GenesysGo, the founder posits “in our case, our first principle [is] decentralized storage needs to be as fast, as secure, as stable, and perform every bit as well as a traditional Web2 cloud service.”

ABSTRACTION IS KEY
The Web3 user experience has long been considered one of the industry’s biggest obstacles to adoption. The complexities of wallet management and security have discouraged newcomers to space for over a decade, and continue to repel potential users today.

Mathis insists that abstracting the end-user experience away from blockchain technology is key to the success of the industry. Reinforcing this belief, the founder affirms “Your end user shouldn’t know that they’re interacting with Web3”

Looking towards the future, Mathis considers DePIN regulation will present a significant obstacle to the sector’s growth. However, instead of taking a chagrined approach to future regulatory concerns, the GenesysGo founder suggests that DePIN projects need to take on some responsibility.
