🌟How I turned 10e into a 70e Portfolio🌟
A general thread on NFT strategies I follow and personal views. 🧵⬇️
NFT Alpha Beta 🔮☕ retweeted
At 9AM EST today somebody abused a bug in Payment Processor V2 to steal 10 Meebits, 50 Otherdeeds, 10 WoW, and 235 Desperate Apewives.
It wasn't until over 12 hours later that somebody reported it to me, and upon digging in I realized that a great many NFTs were subject to the same exploit.
I got in touch with the team over at LimitBreak and they quickly paused Payment Processor V3, which was subject to the same exploit. Unfortunately, V2 was not pausable, so the only path towards protecting affected assets was to run a whitehat operation.
Similarly, V3 on ApeChain is temporarily in a state where it cannot be paused, so ApeChain assets approved to V3 needed to be saved as well.
All in all, we rescued 23,155 NFTs worth north of $5.7M USD.
We later discovered that a similar exploit could be used in reverse to steal WETH. 660 WETH was at risk, which we unfortunately were not fast enough to recover. Apologies to those affected.
Shout out to @Boomskite for flagging the initial exploit tx to me, and @coffeedev @0xjustadev and @whiteoakkong for acting quickly and assisting with the recovery.
All NFTs are safely relocated. Soon, owners will be able claim them back after revoking the exploitable approvals.
Addresses to revoke below.
Just met a cute girl at the rooftop bar i’m at
like unreal. outfit insane. watch doing quiet luxury numbers. aura so calm you’d think she meditates with venture capitalists.
we start talking markets
she asks what i’m into
i say crypto
her eyes light up like i just said “tax free yield”
we’re vibing. drinks flowing. skyline glowing like a product launch keynote.
she goes “so what’s your strategy?”
and that’s where a normal person would say “mostly long term”
but unfortunately my brain runs full diagnostics
i go:
“perps or spot”
“you hedging delta or just vibes”
“cross margin or isolated”
“funding farming or directional”
“you tracking liquidation heatmaps”
“oi shifts?”
“basis?”
“who’s your venue”
she smiles and goes
“oh i just buy stuff on my phone”
i say “ok like on what exchange”
she says “coinbase… sometimes robinhood”
my internal risk engine started beeping
i say “ok but like… how do you decide entries”
she goes
“mostly tiktok”
bro.
tiktok.
she pulls out her phone and shows me a guy pointing at a chart with five arrows and the caption
“THIS COIN WILL 1000X TONIGHT”
i felt my blood pressure enter price discovery
i ask “do you at least set stop losses”
she goes “nah i just hold until it comes back”
HOLD UNTIL IT COMES BACK
my drink suddenly tasted like a margin call
i try one last save
i go “ok but you track your pnl somewhere right”
she says
“yeah the app shows green or red”
GREEN OR RED
that’s the entire analytics stack
her friend walks over like “omg are y’all talking crypto”
and before my frontal lobe could intervene i said
“yeah she’s a trader but her strategy is manifestation and a ring light”
silence.
the kind of silence where even the bartender pauses mid-shake
she walks away
my friend comes over like “bro she was cute what happened”
i said “she said she trades but her risk management is vibes and motivational music”
he said “so?”
SO???
i’m supposed to build a future with someone whose portfolio strategy is
buy
hope
vibrate
no hedges
no thesis
no exits
infinite conviction
could’ve gotten her number
but she now knows i respect liquidity
and honestly that’s worth more 💀
just met a cute girl at the wedding i’m at
like unreal. face card so crazy my frontal lobe clocked out. i’m talking generational. if symmetry was a startup she just closed series b.
we’re vibing. she’s laughing. eye contact locked. i’m farming aura like it’s a full-time job.
then coding comes up.
she goes “yeah i code”
my soul did a hard restart
i’m like oh word “what do you build?”
she says
“mostly vibe-coding rn”
and that’s where a normal man would say “that’s fire” and get her number
but unfortunately i was built in a lab
i go:
“ok define vibe-coding”
“claude code or codex”
“cursor agent mode or raw dogging prompts”
“you got git or just vibes”
“tests?”
“types?”
“deploy?”
“rollback?”
“you read diffs or click accept like a casino addict”
she starts laughing like i’m joking
i was entering forensic mode.
she says “i just use chatgpt and claude and keep asking until it kinda works”
i say “works where”
she says “like… on my laptop”
i say “so localhost cosplay”
bro.
and i swear to God the violinist in the corner sounded like a system alarm
the vibe died instantly
DIED
flatline. kernel panic. social segfault. full emotional 500 in prod.
i try one last save. i go “ok but do you at least push to github”
she says “sometimes, i mostly keep stuff on desktop folders”
DESKTOP FOLDERS
i started dissociating. i could see my ancestors. i could hear linus torvalds screaming in the distance.
her friend walks over like “omg are y’all talking tech”
and i accidentally say
“she said she’s a developer but her stack is claude code, codex, and divine intervention”
she goes “wait no i made a website”
i said “a figma screenshot with a typeform link is not a website, it is a cry for help”
SILENCE.
like biblical silence.
they walked away. she did not look back.
my friend comes over like “bro she was INTO you what happened”
i said “she called herself a coder and then described generating a landing page and praying over it”
he said “so?”
SO???
i’m supposed to build a future with someone whose incident response plan is ‘refresh and re-prompt’???
she had a heavenly face card but an apocalyptic workflow
zero tests
zero repos
zero shame
infinite vibes
could’ve had her number
but she now knows i respect source control
and honestly that’s worth more

Don’t worry you’ll want it again when it’s $400k+. Completely normal human psychology.

There's still room for moon in 2025
But time's running out
Gold, Stocks, Crypto, Inflation, Unemployment all up
Where traditionally they had inverse relationships
Markets behaving irrationally
Watch your bankroll. Risk Manage

Garga @CryptoGarga wanted to be judged after Apefest, so here's my evaluation: 7 @BoredApeYC bought after the event.
Congrats to the team for a dope event and for all the collabs that reinforce our position at top of the JPEG chain. The Bored brand has never looked more alive.

One of my greatest trading flaws is I don't define a timefame to exit enough.
When opening a position,
Are you a 10 second swing trader?
1-day trader? Trigger event?
Or keeping the red position and becoming a bagholder?
Timing is everything
If I had started 1 week earlier, my airdrop would have been est. >$300k😮💨
But my actual airdrop was 4 digits
Sometimes, timing or catching things early is everything
Started "trading" a few weeks ago on @Aster_DEX due to the airdrop opportunity and raked up $43mm in volume so far.
0 profits
Must say it has been extremely humbling
May share some thoughts soon
Meanwhile, stay safe in this period of liquidations
Always risk manage
