crypto Composite

You’re working as a SWE and you lie that the Chinese models are better and haven’t seen the sizable jumps? Dude Opus 4.0 was literally last year the comparison to SOL and Fable is night and day. The models are perfect but not acknowledging how far they’ve come is dishonest.
You’re also wrong, corporate API cost is not far from profitable at all, if not profitable. The pay per token is extremely expensive and OpenAI/Anthropic are raking it in this way. Now 20x plans are extremely unprofitable, but I’d also say the average 20$ plan is extremely profitable too with how little most people use it. The models themselves aren’t the problem and running them is profitable for them especially if they stuck to specifically corporate api cost.
Now the companies are still far from profitable obviously with the amount they are investing in training newer models whether that’s the compute, employees or data gathering but that’s not the point you made in running the models themselves.

Anthropic and OpenAI are dropping models that are sizable jumps over the last every 3 months. Also SOL, Fable and Opus 5 outperform all Chinese models except Kimi on a few specific ones.

Instead of constantly complaining in the group chat every time the market dips, I ended up spending the last week building [**confessional.dev**](https://confessional.dev/).
It’s an anonymous wall where you send a tiny micro-transaction (\~0.0035 SOL) to write your worst trade takes directly into the Solana Memo program forever.
There’s also a banner at the top where you can outbid the current "King of the Hill" if you want to pin your take above everyone else.
Check it out and drop a confession if you want to vent on-chain.

Interesting. Saw today one protocol on solana doing carry trade yield on SOL

99% of crypto is a scam, but the 1% have great use cases. Visa has partnered with SOL to run on their rails. Many International banks have partnered with XRP to implement CBDC’s. DYOR & you can find great investments.

The exact characteristics that you favor, make Litecoin a bad investment 🎯
Litecoin’s DEEP, evenly spread liquidity makes it act like a Utility Asset/Cheap Settlement layer, instead of a high-growth technology platform.
Large multimillion dollar orders are easily filled without pushing price up or down. & Users have no incentive to hold the coin.
Historically, swing trading Litecoin or holding for long periods has NOT paid anything comparable to Stocks or BTC/ETH/SOL.
Even when you catch the falling knife at the very bottom, you don’t earn thousands of dollars instantly like with ETH/SOL ☠️

The crypto market has taken a major change in direction in the last couple of years. If you can't see that I don't know what else to tell you. Trump Coin sucked the life out of most meme coins. And we've been hearing for the past decade that 99.99% of tokens will be essentially worthless, because they don't justify their value. The only coins I believe in are BTC for store of value and perhaps a few utility coins like SOL, ETH, VVV that actually have real earnings per transactions. Sure I could be wrong, but I've rotated to stocks over the last couple of years heavily from cyrpto and have sold most alts but SOL and a dash of ETH.

i had lost some in SOL which was falling and i saw TIA going up and had a good market cap too so i invested. got some return but then suddenly crashed.

With possibly a new bull waiting in Q4 / '27 Q1, a reminder to myself. If the story below speaks to you, a reminder to yourself too:
I bought my first crypto in 2017 and made kinda bank by thinking: Bitcoin pumped, is there something that's lagging and will pump next? The talented trader that I am, I looked at CoinMarketCap and bought the coin that was second in market cap. It was $XRP. The coin did a 10x overnight and I felt like the biggest genius (I wasn't, as I didn't sell, and by 2019 my portfolio was down 80%).
After that, still not being a good trader (or shitcoiner, for that matter), I kept looking for the coin that hadn't pumped yet because I kept missing THE ONE that had.
Doge pumped? Better buy some Doge derivative.
Ethereum pumped? Better buy some ETH DeFi (governance) tokens.
ZEC pumped? Better buy that super new protocol nobody has heard of that will obv. 100x.
A specific NFT collection pumped? Better buy the 1000th iteration of the same underlying aesthetic.
DEX coins pumped? Better buy... you know the drill.
The chasing of betas gave me 10-20x portfolio swings from 2017 till 2022. Needless to say, I always ended up at break-even or below.
In 2023 I finally understood that I'm not cut out to find what's pumping in the first place, nor to find the actual betas that might work, and then also sell those coins.
So instead of chasing the beta, I started putting stuff on my watchlist and waited for the first sell-off. Goal: buy after the pump and speculate on a second and sometimes even third pump. Over time, you start to learn what bottomed-out charts *can* look like.
With a hit rate of around 60-70%, I managed to actually become profitable. My PF swings haven't been as high anymore but at least I began making money while reducing stress + screen time.
So for the coming bull, and with the first new shiny things appearing on the horizon, I'll remember the following:
* Hyperliquid pumped the most in this recent bear, so whenever attention goes back to DEXes, I'll look at the $HYPE chart and buy whenever I feel the chart looks good, and size up.
* The Solana ecosystem is a hot and fucked up mess. But it works, has volume, and "onboards" the most people. So whenever I feel like Solana is where the magic happens, I'll just size up on $SOL. Maybe some blue-chip memes like $BONK, $FARTCOIN, or even $USELESS. But heavily chart-dependent.
* Robinhood Chain will definitely be the center of attention. It's already replicating a huge downside of the Solana ecosystem: total dilution of everything. So instead of trying to buy all the hottest stuff and getting rinsed, I'll just buy $CASHCAT which is undoubtedly THE meme blue chip (already listed on the RH app).
* For privacy: $ZEC for size, and maybe some smaller MC coin whose chart proves it survived the past 12+ months. $NOCK could be a candidate.
* For AI: hard to say, as this sector has seen the most innovation (i.e. change) over the past 2+ years, which means coins get old + dumped pretty fast. The shiniest thing a few years ago is just lame today. $TAO, $NEAR, and possibly $VVV will form some sort of basket.
I'll stay the fuck out of everything else because I'm 100% sure I'll get burned immediately.
But I'll also stay alert and not become complacent, as old coins can get outperformed by new stuff at any time.
Good luck all!
