Livestreaming and PnL showcase @ Catapult Trade teapawt.org/i/broadcasts/1YGNrrVRR…
We have gone passed the era where users are willing to do anything just to get 6.6 usdt airdrop. If you dont build a product directly to mass consumers, you lose your game at the beginning.
When we build @letsCatapult we dont aim for the patient Web3 users. We keep our UI/UX close to the traditional products. We make sure that even if this is your first Web3 app, you wont fall behind.
Today we proudly reached *85,000 MAU* and most of them migrated from iGaming, tradfi and Web2.
When the boundaries between web2 and web3 is blurred and the users dont have to check what technology the product is built on, then the project suceeded
Dear KOLs, I’m fed up with your lack of professionalism. It is time to know that the big numbers on your profiles don’t guarantee a collaboration with projects.
For the past 2 weeks, I have been on calls with all potential Web3 partners and guess what? 7/8 meetings with KOLs ended up being them not showing up or being at least 10 minutes late for a 20 minute call. The reason? “Oh I forgot there is a meeting” “I messed up the timezone”. Dude the Calendly link you booked has customized the time to your local place and reminded you 10 minutes before the call. Worst is some just disappear out of thin air.
We are a serious project looking for serious and long termed collaboration. Who worked witb me KNOW that i respond to all messages and never say no to any reachout no matter how small they are. I dont mean to shade the true hardworking KOLs, so if you agree that we should all stay professional, my DM is open for collab

24 Hours Until Early Access | $PULT Public Sale
Whitelist Early Access opens July 5, 14:00 UTC. The Public Sale opens separately, a full day later: July 6, 14:00 UTC.
$PULT is the token behind Catapult's iTrading model: a token economy built on real platform revenue, with deflationary mechanics tied to activity across Turbo and Hyper. Full breakdown on the Public Sale page.
Larger contributions carry a proportionally larger bonus allocation.
Register: catapult.trade/presale
$PULT
Cant stress this enough “trust is the token which value never deflates”
The old web3 marketing models don’t work anymore. ❌
The old web 3 marketing model was simple:
Launch token → pay influencers → hype → users come
This worked last cycle. But now?
Now the space is:
▫️ Completely oversaturated
▫️ Distrustful
▫️ Exhausted
▫️ And highly attention fragmented
People have seen too many rugs and been farmed too many times.
Marketing is no longer just about reach.
Most projects still think that reach = success but reach alone means nothing anymore.
The new model looks different.
ATTENTION → TRUST → MINDSHARE → COMMUNITY → CONVERSION
People are smarter now and more careful.
You can only convert them if they trust you.
Community has always been the heart of what web3 actually stands for. So it makes sense that it is a vital part of the success formula.
Dinosaur from 2017 here…
For me, crypto is a way to massage my brains with new challenges. At the beginning, it was about overcoming society’s prejudice. The number of channels to promote ur project is (still) painfully little. And now we are facing bad market condition and local regulations. There will never be a good time to build and the builder has to wear 2 stacks overflown of hats.
But still, from this industry, i found the most genius yet down to earth people. I can come up to a millionaire wearing flip flops, and we can talk about a meme last week like we were friends. Ideas can be turned into reality in a blink of an eye with the support of the community. Web3 got to this point is not due to us people who stay vigilent til the end, it is because of the believers in the communities who are supportive and patient enough
There is a reason why Reddit is not the golden baby for crypto projects
1. They milk you from the beginning with karma points and nobody got time to farm the points from the beginning
2. The algo is just not favorable for crypto stuffs comparing to X. We have CT for a reason…
3. The sentiment of redditers towards crypto doesnt yield much “positive” impact comparing to those on X, where the interaction heavily based on KOLS network pushing each other
4. Projects sticking with X are basically “fishing where the fish are” but what if i wanna have steak? What if a product is so good and so clean users dont even know its web3 or not?
The majority of users in the world is still non web3 savvy. 80% of users on @letsCatapult is from web2 despite the fact that its a trading platform because we support google pay, instant onramp offramp with payment gateways and cards.
Until we still divide sides, the product is not ready.
so many crypto consumer apps are fighting for distribution on CT for the same set of users.
meanwhile, one of the biggest distribution channels is still massively underutilized: Reddit.
reddit posts and comments can:
- help you rank on Google
- get picked up in AI search results
- keep bringing in users months later
imagine someone searching "best crypto card" or "best prediction app" and finding your product organically.
been experimenting with reddit distribution lately and the results have been surprisingly good.
if you're building a consumer crypto product and want to explore it, happy to exchange notes.

🚨SHOCKING: POLYMARKET PAID CREATORS TO STAGE $1.9 MILLION IN FAKE BETS
A WSJ investigation reviewed 1,105 videos posted by Polymarket creators and found that NONE of the bets were real.
Creators were filming trades on FAKE copies of the Polymarket website and getting paid $2,000 to $3,000 a month to post them.
The same bets they showed as wins would have actually LOST over $166,000.
Polymarket says it will now audit its promotional content.
It’s not about the CEO. Biggest institutions and platforms currently are still owned and directed by centralized power. We will never be able to be truly “decentralized” as nobody wants to bear responsibility. What we want is a competent and transparent CeFi product
Projects are blessed with endless channels to promote their product, both onchain and offchain. As an early socialfi adopter, i see the movements from policy makers and giant socmed companies as a method to make ways for more Web3 marketing activities.
The ultimate question is: how do you utilize these channels and capture the users’ undivided attention. Hint: product market fit is not enough
attention is the only currency that doesn't inflate.
we are living in the greatest wave of free advertising the world has ever seen.
if you want to capitalize it, you have to learn how to engineer attention.
if you learn how to engineer attention on demand, you are never going to have a problem with revenue
Was talking to a partner and he called me “The Patron saint of on-chain activity”
Im gonna freaking tramp stamp it on me

everyone keeps repeating that prediction markets “made it” this cycle.
the entire sector did ~$72b in 2025-2026. us equities trade that in a single day. it’s still a baby, a big one, but a baby.
but the real problem it’s that the capital just sits there.
polymarket’s world cup winner market: ~$3b cumulative volume, ~$350m parked in liquidity. that money’s been locked since july 2025 and resolves mid-2026. up to a year, idle, earning nothing.
at only 5% apy that’s ~$17m/year. for only 1 market.
every open prediction is also a dead treasury position.
which is why @InsightXHQ caught my attention. your collateral keeps earning while the market stays open. prediction + yield in the same position.
planning to use it for arbitrage. for example, tunisia v japan, june 21, on both books:
> insightx (ai-priced): tunisia 12%, japan 70%
> polymarket (order book): tunisia 14¢, japan 64¢, draw 21¢
same game, different numbers. insightx runs a model, polymarket runs a crowd. and this is where we can potentially take advantage from it.
take each outcome on whichever venue prices is cheaper and the basket comes in under a dollar. 0.12+0.64+0.21= 0.97<1
already building a bot to catch these automatically and fire before the spread closes.

I got a few frens↓
• @Defi_Warhol – best for crypto neobank comparisons, card perks, and cashback breakdowns
• @strato_money – original takes on stablecoin neobanks and card rewards
• @sytaylor – solid fintech creator covering neobanks, payments, and banking infra
• @chingtsengtw – frameworks on what crypto cards compete on beyond cashback
• @KoppKnows – original takes on full-stack neobanks, yield, and borrowing
• @0xshawnpang – builder POV on stablecoin payments and onchain finance
• @randhindi – founder/operator with smart takes on product design
• @izqui9 – operator lens on card positioning and tier lists
• @ravi_riley – writes about product strategy and why cards alone aren't enough
• @0xVishnya – smaller account, does cashback and category comparisons
Who else should I include?
1. we don't need to knock on everybody's doors. Just focus on a small group of customers who are exceptionally in love with your product. It will be a long way of trial and error but we gotta try to see what fits
2. all web3-related activities that rely on hype is obsolete. Don't preach about airdrop or retroactive. Users are smart, start with a concrete plan of referral that actually attracts them and their moms
3. All partnerships are valuable. ALL. Just because they are from a less glittering side doesn't mean the collaboration is not worth your time. Infra, foundation, security... collect them all. This is the age of institution's game.
universal feedback to a lot of prediction market products i'm reviewing:
- you're competing for a large TAM that's already dominated by duopoly of polymarket / kalshi; either build on their underlying infra (to be acquired / highlighted), or don't try to reinvent the wheel
- crypto marketing will not work for classic betting, CT users won't even try unless incentivized by nice referrals
- use behavioral economics for the product research rather than defi markers
- in the assymetric information markets one party will always make more money. decide who's yours and build your b2b partnerships around it (MMs, infra vendors, bridges etc)
1st thing to do when i have my free will: do a podcast in cosplay and have fun with my baddies. Who wants to be my next guest? DM are open 🤭
Came for the alpha from @cookie_dang and @internet_shubhi, stayed for the tattoo lore.

hello world, how 2026 has treated you so far?
My bag, empty
Gold pumped, then dumped.
Real estate, illiquid.
Stocks, shaky.
Crypto, "new buying zone"?
2026 is the year every "safe asset" suddenly feels risky.
So what's actually safe?
The people who get rich from investing usually aren't the best predictors.
They're the people who keep working, keep learning, keep earning, and have enough cash flow to stay in the game when markets get ugly.
Stop staring at charts all day. Spend more time upgrading yourself.
Because when every asset looks risky, your biggest hedge is still your own earning power.
There will never be a good time for building and earning. The catch lies in every step of your journey. But if you have the knowledge to push through, you are already better than the people who never started
