why i think @aptos should do community rounds (ico) for @decibeltrade and @shelbyserves and why it actually makes sense
1. icos are one of the strongest narratives on crypto twitter right now. every other day we are seeing one. smaller ones are happening on @KaitoAI, @buidlpad, @MetaDAOProject (futarchy), while the bigger, hyped ones like @megaeth and @Plasma happened on @echodotxyz.
we’ve seen how @Plasma ico dominated ct for weeks, both before and after the ico.
same story with @megaeth, the moment they announced their ico plans, everyone started talking about it. even after the sale ended, people are still discussing allocations, fdv, pre-market prices, and so on. that constant chatter keeps megaeth alive in everyone’s mind.
so when done right, an ico isn't just about raising money. it's free marketing tool, it creates hype, brings new users, and keeps a project relevant for weeks.
2. icos help build long term belief and ownership. when people invest because they actually believe, many choose vesting over 100% unlocked at tge. these people slowly become true supporters. they defend the project online, spread the word, answer questions, give feedback, and stick around.
on top of that, when someone invests early, many don't see it as just another profit making opportunity. they take it as they're part of the journey & that sense of "this is ours" (psychological ownership effect) creates loyalty, commitment, and stronger community roots.
tldr: community icos don't just raise money. they raise attention, believers, and real ownership around the project.
and that's why i strongly believe @aptos should take this route and let the community be part of this journey super early.

lowkey wish @Aptos to raise via a 'community round' like @megaeth did, for @DecibelTrade & @shelbyserves
I feel that would be a good way to bring in real supporters, even if they opt for 100% tge unlock.
only question is, If they do something similar like this, would you join the ICO?

Crypto projects if they were pokemon (part 7)
@Aptos → Mewtwo
Mewtwo is a genetically engineered psychic weapon of unparalleled intellect and blistering speed, forged by human ambition rather than nature, embodying raw power, precision, and futuristic evolution.
Crypto projects if they were pokemon (part 6)
@Polymarket → Xatu
Xatu is an ancient oracle that perceives the future with its right eye and the past with its left, embodying deep foresight and knowledge.
am I a @megaeth maxi now? maybe yes.
missed echo round (site literally died lol), missed fluffle too but finally got some allo on conviction round.
they actually gave me a pretty generous one probably thanks to my @KaitoAI yaps and github activity.
guess it’s time to dive deep into the megaeth ecosystem.
gmega.
Announcing: The Conviction Round
Over 5,000 natives selected for their verifiable onchain, social and Mega credentials. Today, with Fluffles and Echo, you are officially the largest stakeholders of MegaETH.
Your $MEGA allocation is now live on our site.

the whole fud around @aptos because the ceo left never made sense to me.
@moshaikhs literally stepped down 798 days after mainnet.
aptos has a 4 year vesting schedule, so if he left at 798 days, that means a big chunk of his tokens either got cut or forfeited. plus, he’s said multiple times he hasn’t sold any.
also aptos had two co-founders the other one, @averyching is still here and took over right after.
since mo left, aptos has actually announced three pretty ambitious products @decibeltrade, @shelbyserves (co-building with @jump_), and @watcheeos which is a media-sharing / streaming platform. so it’s not like the team dipped or stopped building.
on the technical side, block times are down ~70% since last december after 2-3 major upgrades.
i feel like aptos just needs time, and the whole workforce should be focused on expanding the ecosystem.
gaptos.
$APT's founder exited the moment vesting was done.
Although the tech is good, the chain has no moat and $APT is a worthless governance token which is excessively valued at $3.7b FDV despite TVL decline and chain revenue of only $1.4k/day.
Lastly, @Aptos is down 61% this year alone.
In the ultimate "yo mama" take...the token is actually down SO BAD they had trouble raising PIPE for a DAT.
TLDR: $APT is going to rapidly trend to sub $1b if $btc goes sub $100k. I AM short.
peak crime or peak speculation? ft. @MMTFinance
the most successful investment @aptos has ever made (at least on paper) isn’t in its own ecosystem, it’s actually in a @SuiNetwork project.
full story : momentum finance, a sui native defi protocol, finally did their tge yesterday.
their marketing was insane. some of my friends were actually fomoing over their nft mint and everything.
they did their ico on buildpad and a lot of people aped in.
but what happened yesterday was wild.
they launched their token at $0.35 and the token instantly shot to $4.40. a clean ~11x.
it even flipped aptos in fdv for a bit 💀
right now it’s chilling at ~$1.19 down almost 70% from the peak.
btw, aptos is an investor in mmt finance (i guess they originally started building on aptos, apparently).
some are calling it “low float, supply controlled crime” price manipulation. others are just happy they printed.
so did you ape into the ico and make money or just watching the drama from the sidelines?
Guys wake up, another Chinese mafia-style scam finally just dropped:
@MMTFinance, yet another basic DEX that does absolutely nothing new, launching on another irrelevant chain no one is using.
Makes total sense that $MMT is up +300% on the day at a $1.3B FDV, with completely organic volume that’s, of course, 12x its mcap.
I’m sure that’s also thanks to the strong TVL momentum. You know, the kind that goes from $650M to $200M in a week.
The Binance chart looks amazing too, classic Burj Khalifa formation. A clear sign of greatness.
Jokes aside, every project launching on BuidlPad looks exactly the same: nobody cares, but they somehow turn into massive large-scale pump and dump.
The worst part? Scammy CEXs keep enabling this playbook just to fill their pockets, burning not only their user base but also the remaining trust in the market.
It’s exactly this kind of behavior that keeps putting the entire altcoin market in a bad light - a market that’s still mostly driven by crypto natives and retail investors, who end up getting rekt and burnt out by these playbooks.
Idiots get hyped over a $200 airdrop, not realizing how destructive and negative EV this is for the ecosystem in the long run.
We really need to stop destroying ourselves.
