1/ Web3 is moving fast, but culture is what keeps communities alive.
BAYC/APES @BoredApeYC mastered the "cult" phenomenon — instant recognition, unyielding brand loyalty, and pride in wearing the PFP.
@MocaverseNFT built world-class infrastructure and $MOCA network mechanics, but to reach that next level, Moca needs that same raw, organic culture. 🧵👇

🔥BIG: Binance founder CZ rings the NASDAQ opening bell for BNB Standard ($BNC), the world's LARGEST corporate BNB treasury company.
“I don’t know what shows crypto and tradfi converging more than this,” CZ said.

If AI output has to be verifiable, founder stories should be too.
No rehearsed victory lap. @michaelh_0g sat down with @KevinWSHPod to revisit the hard calls before our launch and the year that came after.
On DROPS this Sunday.
This Sunday, I'm releasing a 45-minute conversation with @michaelh_0g - Co-Founder and CEO at @0G_labs, back on DROPS for the second time since his first appearance a year ago at the 0G token's TGE.
Two weeks before that multi-billion dollar launch, he sat in a war room on Jeju Island and learned that half the ecosystem he'd promised the market wasn't going to be ready on time. He launched anyway.
We talk about:
- Why he chose to launch the 0G token right after two pieces of bad news hit at once
- What happened to the DeFi ecosystem and the @stack0G treasury company that weren't ready
- How a 3 billion dollar valuation held up in a pre-market test before exchanges agreed to list
- Why the team burned out so badly after the TGE that some had to take medical leave
- How he ran the company from paternity leave after the birth of his second daughter
- Why the launch decision was 60 percent momentum and only 40 percent conviction
- What the October crash did to a team that had quietly attached its ego to the token price
- How ZeroStack pivoted to a multi-asset AI treasury strategy and started trading above NAV
And much more...
DROPS out Sunday!

A word on $COOKIE for everyone who stuck around through the whole thing.
When InfoFi died, most projects that got hit just vanished. Rewards dried up, users left, teams moved on. A lot of $COOKIE holders saw all that and stayed anyway.
The team kept building the entire time. Cookie Pro came out of that, and it's live now, reading all of crypto twitter and scoring who actually matters. It's a product people use, not a farming loop that dies the second rewards stop.
And your $COOKIE does something now. Hold enough on BNB Chain or Base and it turns into credits you spend inside Cookie Pro. The token has an actual use, which most don't.
Not making any promises about price here. Just saying where things are: product's out, token's useful, and the people who held through the quiet times are why it exists.

Lee Kuan Yew was a genius
Lee Kuan Yew:
“Air conditioning was a most important invention for us, perhaps one of the signal inventions of history. It changed the nature of civilization by making development possible in the tropics. Without air conditioning you can work only in the cool early-morning hours or at dusk. The first thing I did upon becoming prime minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the civil service worked. This was key to public efficiency."

I'm going to say what I've been thinking for a long time.
Overall it feels like Asia builders in general don't get as much love, trust, and attention in the startup space, because a lot of investment activity happens in the west. Having spoken to many projects, Asian founders have told me that they sometimes feel discounted. That's why this @virtuals_io listing on @coinbase really tugs at the heartstrings. After trying for so long, really happy for their homecoming.
Many people don't know, but Malaysia is really a place where greatness is made. Many successful projects - etherscan, coingecko, pendle, jupiter, meteora, all have roots back to Malaysia. And so does @virtuals_io which calls Malaysia home.
Build in Malaysia, raise in Singapore, scale in Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, Japan.
I want Asian founders to succeed. We need more focus in Asia. Promising builders - come to the @base builder loft at @ns. We want you to win.

The engager quality breakdown matters more than the follower count. This is what it looks like when an audience is actually worth something.

I used to spend my weekends at the poker table.
Chasing the next high. Next win. Next hit.
And when poker wasn't enough, there was porn. When that wasn't enough, more gambling.
On the outside I looked fine.
Web3 founder. Poker Champion.
Inside? Completely hollow.
Then came the blood stool.
Then the endoscopy.
Then the word nobody wants to hear.
Cancer.
I expected fear. Panic. Anger.
Instead I felt peace.
Not because everything was okay. But because Someone was with me who is bigger than okay.
Turns out He had been pursuing me my whole life. Through every poker loss.
Every shameful night.
Every hollow win.
I just kept running.
Cancer stopped me running.
And in that stillness I finally heard Him.
Jesus didn't wait for me to clean myself up.
He met me in the mess.
The addiction. The shame. The fear.
That's the whole point of Easter actually.
He died for the poker addict. The porn addict. The high achiever who feels absolutely nothing.
He died for me.
And He rose so I could have what I have right now.
Real peace. Real joy. Real purpose.
Not the kind that depends on the next win.
The kind that holds when the doctor says cancer.
If you're still reading this and you feel hollow, I've been there.
The thing you're chasing isn't the thing you need.
I know because I chased all of it.
Everything you chase will fade away.
All except one.
And Jesus is the answer.
Happy Easter. He is risen. 🙏
With love,
Chev @jesusislord

Prediction Markets are the number 2 mindshare gainers across all narratives.
@Kalshi is the primary beneficiary of the prediction market volume boom. The $12B+ monthly volume milestone is generating real quality social signal
@meleemarkets and Based are breakout movers. Both were near-zero mindshare last week. Melee's +738% and Based's +289% relative growth suggest fresh attention from new audiences
Limitless aligns with the volume story (+62%, now at 3.5% sector mindshare). Despite being the smallest by volume ($0.45B), it's capturing social momentum disproportionate to its size
The elephant in the room: @Polymarket is losing mindshare, down from 60.1% to 55.3% despite being on track for a volume record. Kalshi is eating its social share even as both platforms grow. The narrative is shifting.
