Beniamin just played the "they are paying you" card. His response to my questions and concerns related to xMoney's $XMN launch is a weak ad hominem calling it "money bias" and "virtue signaling." This is the ultimate red flag. 🚩 He made it personal because he can't address the
Is Adam Back cypherpunk? @Justin_Bons and @TheDesertLynx weigh in on what the cypherpunk movement entails and share their opinion of who is and who isn't part of it.
Very true. Short term charts don’t define long term conviction. Fundamentals outlast hype, and it’s always the builders with vision who shape the cycles.
100% agree with you sir @Justin_Bons The chains solving real problems don’t need to pump every month to prove their worth. While everyone is distracted by the latest meta, the serious builders are laying foundation for the next cycle. Fundamentals always win in the end.
conviction isn't hope. it's the quiet confidence you earn after spending hours digging into the fundamentals when everyone else is just staring at charts price is temporary sentiment. fundamentals are the long term gravity of an ecosystem if you've done the real work, short
Keep an eye on the price! The true crypto revolution, sharding, scaling, decentralisation, all the way up. Definitely privacy to come as well.
If you now doubt your favourite chain because it underperformed Then you lack conviction! Price performance over the last year is meaningless compared to the fundamentals If you are in it for the long run, then ignore the meme coins & dinosaurs; keep your eyes on the prize! 🔥
In crypto, lasting value doesn’t come from random wins but from deep understanding. I agree with this perspective. Those who invest in knowledge not only seize today’s opportunities but also help build the opportunities of tomorrow.
The most important alpha is the one that's not on a chart. @Justin_Bons reminding everyone to focus on the signal, not the noise. "Ideological fervor" is the perfect way to put it. Conviction comes from deep understanding... not just chasing green candles. Study > Speculation.
Learning and understanding crypto is the key to finding long term opportunities, not just quick wins. Salute @Justin_Bons sir
@Justin_Bons is my Crypto master 🫶🏻 Education is the ultimate alpha in crypto. While everyone is chasing the next 100x, the real winners are building knowledge that compounds forever. Study the tech. Understand the vision. The money follows understanding, not the other way
Exactly this @Justin_Bons The truth is, the biggest edge in crypto isn’t chasing signals or the next pump . it’s actually understanding how the system works. • When you study tokenomics, you see which projects can survive cycles. • When you dive into infra, you know why some
One way to make money in crypto is by studying it: When you understand crypto, the opportunities are endless! Too many look for a quick buck instead of learning about crypto with ideological fervor We can change the world & our place in it, all we need to do is stop & think 🔥
This take from @Justin_Bons is going to stir the pot, but he's pointing to a real and undeniable trend. Solana's metrics in 2025 are on a tear across the board. The debate is no longer theoretical....it's happening on chain. What does the Ethereum ecosystem do to counter this
you could say sol is just showing what users actually want while eth is stuck for narrative over real activity
The reason it’s called an L2 is now you have two problems.
$SOL momentum is undeniable, ETH really needs to solve its scaling bottleneck.
$SOL
-1.61%
ok so @Justin_Bons was totally right about Solana overtaking Ethereum and the data is actually wild when you look at it January dex volume was insane solana hit $262B while Ethereum only managed $86B thats over 200 percent higher Even in the last 24 hours, Solana is doing
SOL is pushing the limits in the crypto scene, surpassing $ETH in daily DEX & perp volume, revenue, active addresses, and TPS Bullish on $SOL!!!!!
$ETH
-1.81%
Exactly @Justin_Bons , the claim that $SOL has now surpassed $ETH across key metrics is well founded. Data on DEX volume, active addresses, and TPS all back it up. The numbers make it clear: • Jan ’25 DEX volume → SOL $262B vs ETH $86B (+204%) • Latest 24h → SOL ~$2.6B,
$SOL
-1.61%
$ETH
-1.81%
SOL now far exceeds ETH's daily DEX & perp volume, revenue, active addresses & TPS! This is what "L2 scaling" looks like for ETH; being overtaken by SOL is the price it pays A sign of ETH's failure as much as of SOL's success ETH's lack of capacity is now its Achilles' heel!
The mirage of marketcap at TGE is a rhetorical scam! Let’s be clear: what @SasuRobert and the @xMoney_com team are doing is nothing short of misleading. They keep repeating that the project is sitting at a "$50M market cap", as if that number meant anything. In reality, the
That’s a powerful thread @Justin_Bons . Political violence only fuels the cycle of extremism, and you’re right both sides risk becoming what they claim to hate. Honoring Charlie Kirk means resisting authoritarian responses and keeping freedom, reason, and truth at the center.
Political violence is a vicious cycle. The murder of Charlie Kirk reminds us that there is no solution in hatred and revenge. If we are to keep humanity alive, we must abandon the politics of division, value the qualities of human character, and respect freedom of speech.
Violence radicalizes. Extremism feeds extremism. True freedom and justice come from judging people by character, not ideology, identity, or fear. Honour those we lose by resisting the spiral into authoritarianism.
Sadly a big part of media, a big part of influencers, and a big part of politics have failed the new generation and a lot of old generation as well. This kind of hatred and call for violence, cheering the death of a person by the masses, is the result of failed media, failed
Witnessing so many on the left justify the murder of Charlie Kirk is disgusting & frightening Political violence is never justified; it only radicalizes people more! The left's fear of fascism & racism has tragically become a self-fulfilling prophecy due to their own actions 🧵 From censorship, propaganda, identity politics, political violence & assassination. The left is becoming what they claim they hate Ouroboros The more extreme the left becomes, the more extreme the right-wing counter movements become... That is how their actions are creating bona fide fascists & racists The political spectrum is like a snake eating its own tail; they come together at the extremes! Identity Politics That is how today, the most extreme leftists actually see eye to eye with neo-fascists & KKK members on segregation, inherent racial differences, & creating separate, racially based laws (affirmative action/Jim Crow) To be very clear on my position on all of this madness; I take the classical position from the civil rights movement, best captured in this quote from the great Martin Luther King Jr: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" - Martin Luther King, Jr. To demonstrate how far the political spectrum has moved, according to the more extreme forms of identity politics, Martin Luther King Jr. would be considered a racist today... According to most modern "critical race theory," we should treat people differently according to their ethnicity & gender... Something I refuse to do, as I consider that to be prejudiced! This is also why we might be criticized for hiring based on merit, rather than ethnicity or gender Overton Window Shift This type of insanity actually helps to justify & drives more people on the right towards bona fide racist & fascist belief systems. As it "legitimizes" this pattern of thought, since when you justify discrimination, it cuts both ways! Only a decade ago, I would have considered the risk from fascism & racism to be mostly a fantasy concocted by the left for the purpose of political fear mongering That is no longer the case today, especially after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, who, for the right, is likely to be as significant a figure as Martin Luther King Jr was for the civil rights movement That is why this event is so significant & is creating ripples in history that will likely be felt for centuries Radicalization That is why I am now also concerned about the radicalization of the right. As I am witnessing, everyone, right from the centre, is being pushed further right because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This can be a problem for those already on the extremes... This is where I see some people turning to authoritarianism in my feed, a frightening development. That is why, after all of these years, I am coming out with my first political thread now. In a way, this event has even radicalized me The Message We have to remind people what Charlie Kirk actually stood for; he never would have accepted any form of fascism or racism! The left has repeatedly falsely claimed that this is the case, which is what has caused this mess in the first place Every time a leftist calls Trump or whoever else a fascist when that is clearly not the case, it stimulates violence, as some people will take that rhetoric very seriously Charlie Kirk was a freedom of speech champion, a hero of the right, who has now been martyred. I can recognize this without even being a conservative myself, but as a human being with a heart. Recognizing bravery & sincerity in another human being The left & the right are supposed to have the same classical liberal tradition in common! It is so sad to see so many people have forgotten the lessons of history So let's honour Charlie Kirk's name by resisting the temptation to fall into the ideological abyss of authoritarianism in response or revenge Because Charlie Kirk would have wanted us to approach this situation with the same calm common sense with which he approached life While always keeping the north star of reason, truth & freedom front & centre! 🗽
We will always remember Charlie Kirk, his words and his courage, his relentless hope to shape future generations. We will keep fighting for truth, freedom of speech, p2p cash, voluntarism and liberty in our little corner called crypto. ✊️
Freedom of speech isn’t just a right; it’s the spark that keeps society thinking, questioning, and moving forward.
I just went through these lines on free speech from Washington to Orwell, Douglass, Peterson, and even Kirk and honestly, they all hit the same nerve in different ways. What stood out is how timeless this fight for expression really is. Washington warned about silence leading to
"If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter" - George Washington “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear” - George Orwell "No right was deemed by the fathers of the government more sacred than the right of speech. It was in their eyes, as in the eyes of all thoughtful men, the great moral renovator of society and government" - Frederick Douglass “In order to be able to think, you have to risk being offensive” - Jordan Peterson “If you believe in something, you need to have the courage to fight for those ideas - not run away from them or try and silence them” - Charlie Kirk
Charlie Kirk was a warrior — not with swords, but with words. He dedicated his life to peace, liberty, and the defense of free speech. His courage and sacrifice will always be remembered, a reminder that the greatest weapon for freedom is an unshaken voice. Today, we
Freedom of speech is not just a right, it is a responsibility. It asks us to be brave, to speak up, and to stand firm even when it is uncomfortable. In upholding these ideals, we keep Charlie Kirk’s spirit alive, shaping a society where words can inspire change and courage is
A reminder that words carry power. Honoring freedom of speech is the best tribute.
Charlie Kirk was a great man who fought for what he believed in with words His murder is earth-shattering; as he stood for peace, reason & liberty We honour him by upholding these principles in our own society! To keep our freedom of speech, we must be brave like Charlie Kirk!
big ups @Justin_Bons for not sugarcoating everyone hyped about eth L2 like they’re some magic scaling solution truth is most of them are just centralized chaos with a fancy label, and ETH roadmap has clearly failed if u actually care about decentralization and security, $SOL,
I fully agree with @Justin_Bons ETH’s L2 roadmap hasn’t just stumbled, it has completely failed. Every major L2 today is insecure, centralized and controlled by a few hands. If Ethereum can’t guarantee real security or decentralization, then what’s the point? Scalable L1s like
Finally someone said it straight L2s aren’t scaling, they’re just bottling power into multisigs. True decentralization lives in scalable L1s, not fragile patches on top of ETH. =============°==°=====°==== Respect for calling this out 👏 Most people stay quiet, but you’re
The irony is ETH L2s were meant to preserve Ethereum’s values while scaling. Instead, they’ve recreated the very problems crypto set out to fix: trusted sequencers, opaque governance and exit risks. Real decentralization doesn’t live in patches. It lives in base layer's.
The truth no one wants to admit: ETH’s L2 roadmap has failed. @Justin_Bons is right. Every major L2 is insecure, centralized and controlled. If Ethereum can’t provide real security then what’s the point? Scalable L1s like Solana, Sui and Near are already more decentralized
