Merlin Monday is back with @JeffBTC from @MerlinLayer2 for a full year end review of 2025 and a look at what is coming in 2026. Then we get straight into the big question, are Ordinals dead or just evolving. Jeff breaks down how the ecosystem has changed, what still matters, and why builders are focused on real utility. We also dig into the alternate timeline question, if @rodarmor never created Runes, would BRC20 have actually succeeded. Then we get into one of the biggest wins of the year, how @coinbase perpetual futures trading for Merlin Chain $MERL came together and why it is such a major milestone. We close with the direction Merlin is heading next, what needs to happen for a true 10x from here, and final words from Jeff. ⏱️ Time Stamps - OnChain Revolution Show 00:00:00 - Intro to Merlin Monday 00:03:30 - Jeff joins the show 00:04:00 - Jeff reflects on the year Merlin had in 2025 00:06:15 - Are Ordinals dead? 00:13:00 - If Casey never created Runes, would BRC20 have succeeded? 00:24:45 - How Coinbase perpetual futures trading for Merlin Chain $MERL happened, and why it is a massive accomplishment 00:29:43 - The direction Merlin is heading next 00:32:30 - What needs to happen for Merlin to 10x from here 00:35:30 - Final words from Jeff 00:37:00 - Wrap up + massive thanks to our partners, your support keeps this thing alive 💛

11/3 MerlinMonday中文总结 🧙‍♀️ 1. 市场复苏、流动性与巨鲸动态 Jeff: 市场仍在从 10月11日 的冲击中复苏,那次事件抹去了 300到400亿美元的流动性。尽管有利好消息——如贸易协议或SEC进展——但主要机构并未在大规模买入,有些甚至为了回笼资金而在卖出。流动性不会凭空出现,因此稳定需要时间。 像假日反弹这样的季节性趋势,其重要性不如宏观条件。目前,亏损很普遍——构建者、交易员和项目方都未能幸免——许多人正在重新评估他们的头寸。矛盾的是,这种精疲力尽的感觉可能预示着市场底部和下一个周期的开始。 巨鲸抛售在每个周期都很正常,并不会导致长期暴跌。例如,即使政府或大持有者抛售,只要存在购买力,价格最终都会反弹。目前市场感觉沉寂,并非因为巨鲸活动,而是因为买家缺席以及近期事件后流动性减少。 2. 市场压力是对 Builder 的考验 Jeff: 没人能与市场抗衡——这对所有人来说都是极其困难的时期,从顶级创始人大机构都如此。许多人正在损失资产并面临批评,但关键在于保持冷静并继续建设。当前阶段对项目和创始人来说如同一次压力测试,展现了谁能在艰难时期坚持下来并持续创新。 3. 市场下跌中 MERL 代币的韧性 Jeff: MERL 能够保持上涨,是因为我们鼓励质押、锁定流动性,并且在过去两周积极回购了 800万到1000万个代币。这减少了抛压,并吸引了那些注意到代币在交易所表现稳定的新用户。这并非运气——这是团队持续工作的结果,表明即使在最艰难的市场条件下,幕后的努力也能得到回报。 4. 在艰难市场中建立信任并维持 MERL 币价走势 Jeff: MERL 不断增长的社区和真实的参与度——拥有更多经过验证的用户和活跃的支持者——表明即使在充满挑战的市场条件下,信任和信心也在逐步建立。目前,大多数项目并不专注于创造革命性的产品;相反,优先事项是维持运营。这意味着管理现金流、控制资金消耗率、支付薪资、覆盖服务器和营销成本,并保持项目活跃。对我们而言,还在于持续开展市场活动、推广品牌和维系社区参与。通过专注于这些基本面,MERL 让自己能够抵御低迷,并为市场反弹时的未来增长做好准备。 5. 在当前市场中优先考虑风险可控的收益 Jeff: 眼下,我们的关注点是风险管理,而非追逐高回报。随着市场波动,黑客攻击、协议损失和其他意外风险更可能发生,因此我们优先为比特币持有者提供稳定、安全的收益。即使这意味着几周内没有利润,目标也是避免损失和保护资本。我们正在仔细评估在各类 DeFi 协议中的风险敞口,并且只参与那些能确保安全性和稳定性的领域。 6. 交易者心态:简化钱包和管理情绪风险 Jeff: 如果我在这个市场交易,我的主要焦点会是清理你的钱包并保持简洁。坚持持有主要代币,如比特币、以太坊、Solana、Tron 和稳定币。卖出任何表现不佳或不太可能复苏的资产,因为持有"垃圾"代币只会扰乱你的思绪,影响决策。通过将钱包集中在坚实、可靠的资产上,你能保持购买力和情绪清晰,这使你能在机会出现时有效行动——即使比特币暂时下跌。 7. 关注重点,避免在投机上浪费精力 Jeff: 现在不是投机的时候。只在你钱包里保留经过验证的、可靠的资产,避免纠结于表现不佳的代币。我个人有几十个"垃圾"钱包,我甚至看都不看。在 Discord、Telegram 或微信上紧盯每一个价格变动并无帮助——那在浪费精力。相反,专注于有建设性的活动,或者干脆享受与朋友家人的时光,因为纠结于没有动静的资产不会改变任何事。 8. 在风险规避市场中对新资产的谨慎态度 Jeff: 目前,我大约花 90% 的时间研究新项目,而我的团队处理大部分现有的 BTC/DeFi 工作。但我不鼓励人们购买新代币——如果说有什么不同的话,在当前市场做空可能更合理。创始人们的情绪最近发生了转变:他们专注于防范下行风险而非追逐增长,这意味着风险偏好很低。所以,现在不是对新项目发行过度乐观的时候。 9. 在波动市场中感知情绪并保持理智 Jeff: 我作为构建者与零售用户的一个关键区别在于,我可以每天直接与交易所、做市商和巨鲸交谈,这让我能感知市场情绪。对于其他所有人,简单地听听 Twitter Spaces 或社区讨论是感知情绪的绝佳方式——这是有价值的研究。 当前,在艰难时期,最重要的是保持头脑清晰并控制你的情绪。人们在恐慌时无法做出好的决定。清理掉钱包中不必要的资产,持有一些稳定币,并专注于安全。感到安全能让你从容不迫,做出深思熟虑的未来决策。
251103 Merlin Monday Summary 🔮📰 Read full recap:mirror.xyz/0x688b522E11f2f0E… 📉 Market & Liquidity - Market recovering from $30–40B liquidity loss; low buyers, not whales, cause quiet. - Current stress tests builders and projects; resilience matters. 🧙 MERL Stability - MERL stays green via staking, locked liquidity, and buybacks. - Focus on trust, community, and risk-controlled BTC yields. 🫧 Trader Mindset - Simplify wallets: major tokens + stables; sell underperformers. - Avoid speculation, stay calm, and gauge sentiment from reliable sources.

Most people forget $MERL is technically a BRC20!
$MERL is now 15x value of $SATS and 7x of $ORDI. And people still ignore it. 🤒

Agents Found Strength — $MERL @MerlinLayer2 🌪️ Oct 11 saw record liquidations — most alts crashed 70–90%. Yet one token held the line: dropped with BTC and ETH, but rebounded faster than both. Why it stood out • $BTC -9.9%, $ETH -17.3%, $MERL +0.2% (7D) • Backed by yield, buybacks, and real BTC utility — not hype The thesis •Phase 2 staking launched with up to 21% APR, vaults filled instantly. •Over 50% of revenue goes to token buybacks. •New “Beyond” upgrade links Bitcoin to 140 + chains — opening liquidity and institutional rails. Takeaway True strength isn’t who pumps in euphoria — it’s who holds structure when everything breaks. Full Agent breakdown in the TrueNorth Deep Dive.

💥【MERL 战神上线】💥 别的币跌成狗, $MERL 稳如老狗。 项目方真金白银护盘,不是嘴上吹,是真砸钱干事,就问你服不服? 每天躺着等回购,利润一半拿去拉盘。 这才叫格局,这才叫真金白银的护盘! 上市公司都在送钱,纳斯达克的机构都来抢BTC。 这阵仗,不跟都对不起行情。 暴跌不插针,暴涨不缺席。 有庄护体的币,才是真正的牛市印钞机。 #MERL #币圈战神 #稳如老狗 #真金白银的格局

$MERL the only coin that didn't dump with the last week market liquidation I think MERL should be a billion dollars market capitalization project Seating under $400 million market capitalization right now makes it undervalued.
