Is NFL All-Pro RB Christian McCaffrey a Gecko whale? All we know is that we've never seen him and @cmc816 in the same room at the same time. Whoever you are — Gecko whale and/or 49'er — this fully animated Gecko is for you … courtesy of the Animation Station. GG fam. 🦎 💚

After 4 years, it's natural to focus on "the What" but with everything I've witnessed, I'd rather talk about "the Why." Since the beginning, I always noticed people talking about hitting a certain number, so they can leave the space forever. At first I didn't understand this. Crypto is the future; crypto is where the greatest opportunities are; crypto is what provided you financial freedom. What would make you want to leave when you are successful? A culture that promulgates this mindset has a predictable outcome. Player versus player. Max extraction. Superficial, inauthentic relationships leveraged for personal profit. "Friends" discarded as soon as they are no longer financially useful. The elevation of "main characters" who exhibit the greatest talent for grifting. Not building. Mantras like "dump on bozos," "game is game," and even "everything is a scam." All ignoring a massively underserved market. A radical concept, something that others didn't seem interested in — putting community first. Driving value to holders before founders, instead of the other way around. Not just in a one-time pump, but as the primary, long-term endeavor. With real, aligned incentives. Prioritizing trust. Curating a community built on earnest, unfeigned human connection. Building systems to reinforce the ultimate goal of enriching holders' lives, both financially and otherwise. This is our WHY. And all along the way, big players asked me: "What's in it for you?" "Why not just launch your own project? You could make so much money!" The prevailing assumption here being that NOTHING matters more than money. So pervasive that people didn't even ask; so certain that greed rules us all. The truth is that helping others is more fulfilling than helping yourself. If you don't believe me, it might be because you haven't helped community members buy their first home, retire their parents, get life-changing medical care, and even, in many cases, stop them from taking their own lives. Our KPIs aren't about me; they aren't about the project. They are about everyone who holds. And the ways in which value is generated for them. Despite having done this better than almost anyone over the last 4 years, the job's not finished. Our floor price is modest, our attention is modest, our ecosystem support is modest (on a good day). But our community is extraordinary. Our resources are extraordinary. Our talent is extraordinary. And so is our future. When the scammers are done scamming, and the grifters are done grifting, we will still be here. So when you see people say that they just collect Geckos, and that they stake them forever ... Even if you still don't understand WHAT we do Hopefully you understand WHY we do it.

I’ve said this for years. Memecoins and NFTs are digital slop and have no intrinsic value. Like a mobile game loot box. People spend $150b a year on mobile gaming.

Ether is back near the upper end of its trading range again. If you own any, this is a great time to sell. As much as it pains me to say, selling Ether and buying Bitcoin with the proceeds is a better trade than holding Ether.
