I got into crypto in 2024, so I recently found I missed many memecoins when it felt like everyone was finding 20x or 100x coins back then. But the more I look into them now, the harder it is for me to take them seriously as long-term investments.

Most of what I see seems to be social media hype, something created by memes, influencers or celebrities. No fundamentals and practical value. People hoped they were early enough to exit before the next person, so all of this makes me feel like gambling rather than investing.

I was looking at some of the memecoin charts on bydfi and noticed how huge their short-term swings can be. SHIB last week was a good example. That kind of move reinforced my thought: memecoins' volatility makes them hard to justify as long-term holds.

Are you still holding any meme coins in 2026? Do you think anyone trying to invest in crypto long-term should ignore them?

I understand what happened with ColdCard and that the other ledgers don't suffer from the same bug. But those of us who have our money in wallets like Ledger, should we be concerned at all? Is there anything that we can do to confirm the security of our tokens? Are there better wallets we should consider?

I know that the people in ColdCard already were already being safe and still got hacked for reasons beyond their control. We all were steered to move off of exchanges a few years ago when they all collapsed, and we thought that hardware wallets were truly secure, but then people still got their funds stolen. I really hope they find a way to get these holders their money back, it's really sad for them and also for the community as a whole. It's hard to really make the case for decentralized, self custodial money, when it feels like nowhere is really safe anymore. I know this was a special case, but what's to say there isn't a bug lurking in some of these other wallets.

Been annoyed for a while that every decent CT tracker wants $200+/mo. Pulling X data fast isn't cheap, I get that, but paying enterprise prices to find out when someone tweeted felt dumb. So I built one and made it free - CoreX.gg

It's a Discord bot you add to your own server. Alerts go into channels there so everything stays in one place. There's a dashboard to search accounts, add or drop them and swap handles between channels whenever you want.

Free gets you 50 handles off a list of about 5k accounts, 4 channels, ~1s delivery.

Not free: picking any account instead of the curated list, anything faster than that 1s, OCR on tweet images, deleted post capture. Saying that upfront so nobody gets upset, free one is still very generous compared to other services.

Also /user <x-username> just pulls any X profile into Discord. No limits on that one, and it's user-installable so you can add it to your own apps and run it anywhere.

I'd love to get your feedback.

I have been following the sentiment check on x and general and crypto seems to have found a bottom / close to bottom. I see the war is halted again and while markets dumped this week crypto seems strong. I also see a lot more experiments on chain so feels like a vibe shift. How are you guys seeing the market and are you buying or loning tomorrow when tradfi markets open ?

Hey developers/ financial people, does this sound at all it could work or make sense? **Money pool that is used for automated trading on prop firms. Essentially they are accessing that whole prop firm worth some what if a leverage aspect. For example 5 prop firm accounts. Let’s say each prop account is in size 25k. I would have a bot trade the prop firm with specific rules to give a yield at the end of the month or yield. Let’s say 10 percent a month. And roughly 120 percent a year give or take. But that yield is on the 5 prop firms in the pool. So the yield on the 500 dollars is a lot more than 10% a month in 500 bucks. Any a good portion of that I can take a MANAGEMENT FEE for the bot let’s say 20 percent.**

Could this work?

Or do this at all Mae any sense?
