Our community is mostly on X - where you can get much higher-quality crypto advice, imo. But we’re also active on r/spx6900, and we currently plan on being more active in other subreddits to spread our long-term mission, which we strongly believe in.
SPX6900 isn’t a pump-and-dump scheme. It has survived multiple drawdowns and will come back stronger as always.
If you compare it to Dogecoin (the OG meme), for example, you can clearly see it’s not down as much from its last ATH. You can also check Holderscan: SPX holders are the most diamond-handed

I would suggest Mastering Bitcoin from the OG Andreas Antonopoulos.

Makina takes inspiration from earlier efforts to bring professional asset management onchain. Starting from way back in the Crypto OG days, projects like Melonport showed what was possible but also where the limitations were.

Over time, lessons from DeFi vaults, structured products, and risk frameworks shaped the idea of building something more modular and enforceable. Dialectic's work with complex DeFi strategies was an early influence, showing the need for infrastructure that could encode those strategies onchain in a transparent way. Dialectic has been running a private DeFi fund for many years and the lessons they shared with us helped transform the Makina architecture.
So Makina has been in the MAKing for years (bad pun I know). It’s the result of wanting to take what worked before, fix what didn’t, and finally make institutional grade execution open to everyone.
Also, side note, let's look at where DeFi and crypto is going, so not only do we draw inspiration from the past we are trying to skate to where the puck is going.

Dont you just love Cro? OG here never caught a break.

When planning a token launch in today's crypto ecosystem projects (especially DeFi) need to navigate multiple dimensions of fairness, each with its own trade-offs and philosophical implications.

A “fair launch” isn’t a set definition but it's a spectrum. Some projects like Morpheus represented one of the spectrum of fair launch with no pre-mine, no investor allocations, and equal distribution to community, capital, compute, and code providers. MOR had no strategic round at all. Whether this is good or not is yet to be seen.

Another example could easily be Bitcoin - the OG fair launch. One could say Bitcoin established the original fair launch paradigm: no pre-mine, no venture capital rounds, and equal opportunity for anyone to mine from day one. But as it wasn’t yet captured by the mainstream like crypto is today, we are left with wealth concentration as adoption of BTC took time.

Over the years, and more so now due to the long and messy history of token launches, the conversation around fair launches has become more nuanced. We think that fairness exists on a spectrum and involves multiple dimensions.

Take into consideration the complex nature of the DeFi infrastructure we’re building and it’s clear our needs are different from a Layer1 or a memecoin.A good point to start with could be around considerations of transparency, accessibility, incentive alignment, governance rights, and long-term value distribution.

Here are some examples of how we’ve been thoughtful in the following areas of our launch.
\- Clear communication about funding rounds and pricing (only one strategic seed round, this has been communicated)
\- Open-github repo (github is available)- Published docs with no opaqueness on how Makina works- Sufficient notice for participation in Token related events (we’ve been screaming about our launch for a while)
\- Fair minimums and caps for participation (no min and no personal cap for participation)
\- Multiple participation paths for different needs (you can get exposure to USD, ETH, or BTC Machines)- Releasing tokenomics information (published supply, allocation, vesting)
\- Minimized technical barriers (all you need to do is have a wallet)
\- Geographic inclusivity where legally possible (OFAC sanctioned as per usual)- Meaningful vesting for team and investor allocations (team vests have the longest vesting, more than public or ICO round)
\- Rewards for genuine contribution (deposits are what get you into the ICO, not tweet maxing or other KOL trickery)
\- Mechanisms that discourage short-term speculation (if you transfer tokens in the Pre-Launch you lose your points and tickets)
\- Value accrual mechanisms that benefit all participants ($MAK token will be cash-flow driven, token buyback program, as well as fee-sharing mechanism)-Concrete milestones for increasing decentralization (Operators eventually can onboard with less oversight, but for now we need to manage risk and reputation until the platform stands up and proves itself)
\-Governance mechanisms that expand in scope over time (DAO, $MAK token grants voting)Happy to jam on more topics around fair launch as its a vast topic of discussion.

Great first question to the AMA.

1) ETFs: A lot of Wall Street is described as conservative boomers looking for blue chip assets with very long term upside potential. Of the crypto assets standing to get ETF approval, Litecoin stands out as a highly mature, zero-downtime, high-usage, highly reliable, fully decentralized asset. This can drive LTC as a reliable, highly undervalued blue chip asset to add to portfolios.
2) LitVM: Smart contract and stablecoin transactions that are cheaper than alternative chains, on an OG highly reliable blockchain. The demand for LTC gas can drive LTC price. You can imagine smart contracts moving from Ethereum to Litecoin on gas cost economics alone.
2.a) Stablecoins: With GENIUS Act passed, there will be a slew of stablecoin launches. These companies will be shopping around for blockchains to run their coins on. LitVM enables this use case. Sure, many companies may use Stripe's blockchain or Solana, but Litecoins OG fundamentals and gas costs remain highly attractive, especially as you try to expand your stablecoin's ecosystem and convince partners it's legit. The economics alone will attract stablecoin transactions.
3) DOGE merge mining: As LTC price increases and DOGE does not, merge-miners dump DOGE for LTC, further increasing buy pressure.
People speculate some actors systematically suppress LTC price, timing sell pressure to absorb buy pressure. In reality, this is probably normal market dynamics driven by LTC weak hands and bearishness. But some systematic suppression is possible.
What we know is that the sell-pressure dam is strong. At the same time, we're seeing massive LTC accumulation in whale wallets. The top 100 addresses hold 40% of LTC. These buyers/hodlers are smart money investors. They could just dump their massive LTC holdings for BTC or other "high performing" asset, but instead they accumulate. This present sell pressure is working to the favor of accumulators, as they buy huge amounts of LTC at a stable price.
Buy pressure increases via traditional investors buying ETFs, LitVM fees, amplified by miners starting to prefer LTC over DOGE, and by newcomers attracted by the price action.
At some point the sell pressure/systematic price suppression dam implodes. Sellers flee as they get bulldozed by massively mounting buy pressure, creating a TSLA- or Gamestop-like short seller-liquidation moment that prints a sequence of God candles. Then the FOMO queens and bears-turned-bulls show up to the party.

You sound like an OG like me. I remember Bitcoin was cooler pre-2015.

Powsche, the OG carCULTure lifestyle token.
It will get what it deserves... Cult status abd a top tier coin. All in due time. 
Be part of the legacy.

The audacity, coming here comparing a premined scam token minted out of thin air against an OG prof of work coin that is indeed used as currency.
Fuck off!

Because it processes those 12 transactions more securely than any other protocol on the planet. No third party risks. Also you'd think someone that visits this sub knows the reason of existence of the OG blockchain.

I would never trade for cash and just sit on it, but I think for most it's less about buying dollars and more about wanting to buy something or wanting to diversify into another appreciating, but less volatile asset. I know some people are 100% allocated into BTC forever, but personally (and this is very dependent on your financial plan, your risk tolerance, etc.) I would sell a percentage at $200K and redistribute that into things like equities and real estate as part of a diversification strategy. If I was younger, I would have a different perspective and I'd probably be 100% BTC, because you can always start over if you are wrong. I still think BTC is the fastest horse in the race and has the most upside potential, but especially being close to retirement, I find it valuable to have a percentage of my portfolio in less volatile assets. No one can predict black swans, but you can prepare for them by not having all your eggs in one basket. I laugh when I see people saying that OG whales are fools for finally cashing out their BTC for hundreds of millions of dollars (or more). Sure... if they didn't sell now, it will probably be worth much more in 5 years. But you know what's less scarce than BTC? Time. Some people are older and have families and hobbies and life goals outside of just accumulating BTC. At the end of the day, BTC is money and money is just a tool. If you can sell some of your BTC to secure a stable retirement fund or help your family or pursue your life dreams, those are worthy reasons.

Back when Bitcoin was still flying under the radar, people used peer-to-peer platforms like LocalBitcoins or jumped into obscure forums, trading BTC with PayPal or even for cash in meetups (talk about risky business!). For a great documentary, check out “The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin” – it dives into the OG days of Bitcoin and how it all started. Oh, and gold bars a la Die Hard 3? Legendary move. Gold & Bitcoin as modern store-of-value brothers? Accurate. Both are rebels against fiat, just like the action-packed Die Hard scenes!

Yep. Just Short term noise.
Alot of Money rotation flows from old OG wallets into institutions that so far only results in a consolidation period while we slowly heading into Q4, the best time of the 4 year cycle ahead of us.
Wont surprise me if we’ll end up well above 150k years end as big entities will be aware of self-fulfilling prophecy/fomo during each endcycle and ramp up buying to take advantage of this market psychology. But who am I.

Bitcoin is not crypto. Crypto is useless and will all go to zero. Bitcoin will thrive forever. Maybe it will never be used at it was intended but it won’t go away. It’s the OG.

>Sure, it is a revolution that only a few enlightened people, such as yourself, understand.
That's how revolutions start, a few get it, then more and more and in the end it is normal.
>Not a crappy technology that people really do understand and dismiss. (Go see the sentiment about the underlying technology in the programming subs, or its validity as money in the economics subs.)
And how is crypto portrayed to the public? Every day I find even crypto afine guys that have no idea about p2p cash and think this is all just one big investment opportunity to get rich. The OG message got drowned in shit.
>Then tell yourself that nobody understands it except you
I never said that and you know it, it's a Strawman. It is easy to understand but most people don't even get to hear this message.

Sorry, i was just talking about the OG - Bitcoin. Meme and Shitcoins are still a mystery for me - it's more like a religion / cult.

When Bitcoin was hijacked. Started in 2015. When the blocks where full for the first time and usability degraded immensely in 2017 the pivot in narrative started to happen.
That's why Bitcoin Cash exists. It continues the OG chain with the OG goal: sound money for everyone.
