I'm not a trader, I just trade a lot.

Confession: I don’t like male waiters. It just feels off having another man serve me. 🤣🤣

Founders

Tokens are products. Builders are speculators, speculators are traders.

Speculation is part of the game. embrace it as a feature, not just as a side effect.

If you’re building a speculative product with open trading, and there’s no token tied to it for market commentary, you're missing the point.

One thing am leaving behind in 2025:

- Collecting open editions

The game needs to evolve beyond mere support and provenance. What’s the incentive for collectors?  

@zora cointags is a cool experiment moving in the right direction, but (as of today) it feels like it’s on the wrong chain.

Sharing some raw thoughts for 2025. I woke up in this mood today 🤣🤣

Base

We either accept this and move to Solana or change Ethereum (Base).  

2024 was the year Base builders bullied Solana builders (including traders).  

In 2025, it will be the other way around if we don’t wake the fuck up.

One Week in Solana Trenches

- Traded, lost money, made more – thanks to $Flavia (still holding).
- If you're going to gamble, get ready – it's brutal.
- Reminded me a lot of the '19/'20 vibes.
- Builders are building, farmers are farming, dreamers are dreaming. This is driving a tremendous amount of attention and innovation.
- Product UX is better than current L2s (wallets, trading, minting).

Highly recommend giving it a go. 

personally: move 100x faster, master filtering, mid curve or deep focus (think and execution).

will report more as i go down this 🐇

Ethereum

the #1 thing that @solana has right now over @ethereum is people with money who are willing to deploy in a risk forward way at the edge and thereby push forward innovation. 

this is how innovation happens — but it's often messy in a way that can turn folks off (eg it's "just speculation"). but the lack of this means less capital bandwidth for ideas and experiments to both get funding and to break through into virality via price. memes and the innovation downstream of them are a prime example of this. 

if @ethereum wants to succeed, this needs to change — and we are seeing signs of it on @base, but it's still early and  we need a lot more help. 

so let this be a call to action: if you are someone who believes in Ethereum, holds significant amounts of ETH, and wants the economy to grow, now is the time to step up.. 

if this is you, please DM or shoot me an email at jesse@base.org. will be coming up with a plan in the new year. 

🙏🏼
