Solana Weekly: #11 - The Big Picture Is The Fun Picture
Solana price -dipped down to $21, sticking in the range around $24 now. Steady, not pumping too hard and keeping our nft values up there. SolEth .015 - steady light gains against eth. Aptos caught a freaking bid - over a 3x, bad launch but seems to have more legs than we thought. Couple topics I want to cover:Overall why it’s so fun to root for Solana :You don’t have to be cheering the end of the world in order to pump your bags. Btc, even eth is guilty of a...

Solana Weekly: #9 Hype, Liquidity, Volume, Memes, and Dreams.
GM, GM all! We’re riding the high from last week and getting noticed. Huge mint yesterday of BONKz, crazy performance out of Solana, crazy amounts of volume, and I’m loving it all. I would say the best part of this was that the market stayed relatively flat as a whole, but Solana caught a bid and wicked from mid $13 to mid $16 in a heartbeat. We’ve had crazy rain and flooding in California, but Solana is saying hold my beer and making it rain harder. Current price we mellowed out at $16 after hitting a high of $17...

Solana Weekly: #8 Wake up Solana we're BONKing
GM,GM the market has shifted, the sentiment is so positive and I’m having a blast. We’ve got another huge week and I’m having a hard time taking my eyes off the Bonk chart long enough to make this 8th episode drop. I’m going to get into how we almost doubled the price of Solana, saw insane volume in NFT’s and how a meme coin gave a community something to rally behind. Price of Solana: From $8 to $13.50, huge. Last episode I was shaking in my boots and sticking to my guns. I bought mor...

Solana Weekly: #7 - Down, but NOT out
Sol price wicked to $8.00, sitting at $8.38, from about 12 earlier in the week. Not great. Big tanking energy right now. SolEth headed off a Cliff at .007.Economy as a whole is on the fritz. Tech is down bad. Crypto is down bad, btc, eth, down bad. So yes Solana is also down bad. But it’s down more than other’s due to the narrative being absolutely nuked. FTX, Multicoin, 3AC, numerous defi hacks, a wallet drainer. What do we do? At this point, I’m just holding and looking for spots to buy in for some m...

Solana Weekly: #6 Solana and Web3
Gm, Gm all! It’s a bear market, fud is all around us, crypto market is down, Solana is down, NFT’s are mostly sideways, but still tons to go over. I’ve been debating the idea of how we move the space forward and have actually come around to the Web 3 narrative and think we should all get behind it. Why? It rebrands crypto, gives a much more positive connotation and also puts together all these different factions of crypto communities giving us one big central idea to push. All the different communities and coins...

Solana Weekly: #5 Solana Long Term
Gm, Gm to all! I’ve been thinking about the structure of this and how dumb it is. I think I need to create a good landing page and condense the Podcast with the post. So here it is. I’m also scrapping that intro song because I don’t want to many people to listen to this just for my sing along to having Sol but not being a soldier. I’m also debating writing a script versus having a list of topics and just riffing on them. The whole idea being this is to get better a...
