Gatito Feliz, the most Degenerate

There is a post I wanted to share from Zac but here is how it relates. Talking specifically about $TRADIE, a market maker can only push price higher when the conditions actually allow it. Why is there not more education around this? Our movement down started when a large holder broke a promise to his so called friends who helped him countless times, no names mentioned you know who you are. I never kiss and tell. When the team keeps adding buys and the sells outstrip those, a cascade can start. Matching every sell is possible, but it means the team ends up owning too much of the supply. Once a project owns nearly all of it, there’s no real price action or movement left unless the team starts selling. Providing liquidity above price and then positioning the SOL that comes out of those positions to support price below is exactly what we’ve done. In a bear or scared market those funds just get chewed up. What can happen instead is rotation. Slowly, as liquidity starts coming back into the market more broadly, holders and supply change hands. That rotation is a good thing. It spreads ownership and creates the conditions for real participation again rather than everything sitting in one place. This is also why volume matters so much. The lower fee structure was put in place so volume could grow and feed the system. Without meaningful volume there isn’t a meaningful pot to distribute from. Price can still move on thin marginal flows, but sustained volume is what turns movement into something that can actually support rewards and real participation. That’s why this was always going to be a staged movement. Price settles at a level, we defend the floor, then a new push higher becomes possible. Everyone was told that clearly. Hold the line and let us get to a level we can defend. A lot of people jumped in for the easy money instead. That’s not how this is designed to work, and it’s not how people make great returns. It’s a short-term fix. People have even used bots to sell supply against price movement. That is stupidity in a thin order book and low volume. Right now a lot of the market is running on thin excess liquidity. Price moves because someone has to cross the spread, not because broad value is changing. In that environment the dominant liquidity provider ends up controlling the range. They can bid under weakness or sell into strength, but they can’t create sustained upward momentum if volume stays low, open interest doesn’t expand, and real new demand never shows up. You can see it playing out on the layer ones. Even the bigger ones have been grinding or leaking lower. They get short-lived cycle rallies that look constructive, then fail to hold because there’s no expanding participation underneath them. The maker can recycle inventory and manufacture a bounce, but without organic liquidity and conviction the move stalls and gets sold. It’s controlled decay more than a clean trend. Same dynamic shows up across smaller assets. Upward moves struggle to stick because the liquidity that pushed them was never broad or committed. It was inventory being managed. The only moves that hold are the ones where volume confirms, open interest builds, and shorts are forced to cover into strength rather than choosing to sell. That’s why the community side matters even more in conditions like this. Everyone who holds needs to talk about it. Not just in the chat, but actually putting it in front of people. And influencers or KOLs have to work harder than ever in these conditions. When a real community is behind them, that’s when their reach actually shows its power. Manufactured bounces die without it. Real participation is what gives any move a chance to stick. We’re still here building and teaching that. The chart will do what the conditions allow. The people who understand the structure and keep showing up will be better positioned than the ones just chasing candles. Vest stays on. 🦺

We didn’t start this for the chart. We started it because the normal bloke never gets a fair go. A handshake. A promise. Hold the line so the people who actually build things might finally win one. Some of us kept it. Some of us got pulled back into the old fight, the drink, the drugs, the gamble, the voice that says “just one more.” That fight is real. It doesn’t care about mates or missions. Friendship isn’t erasing what happened. It’s still showing up after it did. Still offering the hand. Still believing the man can put the 🦺 back on. Unity is the real edge we have. Hold something longer than the next spin. Hold for the ones still grinding. Hold so the next bloke doesn’t have to start from zero. The vest stays on. We help him up. Then we keep building. solana:A5ffnvMhrXCoN6y5iDdj3LdScSGfwofvDym7v3hNYb97 NFA 🤝

Crypto 101 for Monday: before you buy anything, read what it actually does. Who gets the 1% tax? What are the rewards? Is it optional? For $TRADIE: 1% buy and 1% sell go into the pot, rewards can be paid in Bitcoin and the majors. Now the floor has settled all will be clear very soon. Multiple opportunities for every type of holder / trader. 🦺🤝 NFA. DYOR.
