Hi
Meet BULK Trader @dman_sol!
Since 2020, he’s arbed Binance against BSC DEXs with his own scanner, caught the Solana IDO wave, held DeGods from 3 to 1000 SOL, and runs a Solana validator.
Now he’s bringing that edge to perps as one of the biggest traders on @bulktrade 👀

frank.
first of all, one thing you have to give him credit for is his ability to pivot.
during the NFT golden days, he built @DeGodsNFT and did an incredible job.
when BTC NFTs started gaining traction, he was quick to launch BTC DeGods and, if i remember correctly, made another $2-3m from it.
when solana started slow down (at least back then), he began exploring ETH collaborations, shifted his focus there and bridged degods over.
when that didnt work out either and the NFT market started fading, he eventually moved on.
then came memecoins. he recognized the next meta, jumped in early and made (and continues to make) millions.
at some point, he probably realized that NFTs were becoming more of a burden than an asset to his new direction, so he completely let go of degods. (we don't really know what happened behind the scenes, though.)
now, i feel like he's slowly pivoting towards trading. maybe he doesn't see memecoins as sustainable long-term, maybe he doesn't want to spend that much time and mental energy on them anymore, or maybe he's simply expanding his skillset and learning a new game.
whatever the reason, there's a bigger lesson here.
you need to learn how to adapt.
people who stayed attached to NFTs either stopped making money or eventually got tired of the space and went back to web2.
don't get emotionally attached to a narrative, a chain, a project or even your own identity.
recognize where the opportunities are, adapt, keep learning and most importantly, keep making money.
the market doesn't owe you anything. adapt or get left behind

Actual progress comes from hard-to-build technology.
Which comes from competitive, creative, free-market capitalism.
Which comes from one small, precarious area and then diffuses to the rest of the world.
Snuff that out, and it’s global stagnation for an extremely long time.

making money gets rid of your money problems and reveals every other problem you had
i’m not talking billions. realistic ct example: going from worrying about rent to having six figures
the quest for money is a fog. when you’re living paycheck to paycheck you never have to go face to face with who you actually are, because there’s always a more urgent problem. the money is the excuse and the distraction at the same time
that’s why the two extremes of society are the most honest people you’ll meet. the rich guy on the yacht and the bum on the street. the quest is over for both of them. it ended above the norm or below it, and either way there’s nothing left to chase, so there’s nothing left to perform
everyone in the middle is still lost in the fog

The best analogy for building wealth is rock climbing. Once you reach a new ledge, you secure it. That becomes your new foundation, and protecting it becomes part of an evolving strategy.
Each new level of wealth should trigger a reset in your mindset and a broadening of strategy. You now have more to protect and also more to work with, and the risks you take should reflect that.
That doesn’t mean you can’t be ambitious. Take big bets when the opportunity deserves it. But big bets can’t be born from what everyone else is doing and every theme has a due date. So structure those bets so that if the next climb fails, you fall back to the ledge you’ve already secured.
The entire climb can never be on the line.
I’m sure today many many people fell back many ledges, and many died falling to the ground.

A departure from my usual gloating:
If you lost all your money today, I'm sorry that happened. However you must understand that it was deserved. It means you had critical leaks in your trading and you need to take a break. Days like this happen infrequently but they will continue to happen for entirety of your trading career.
Being levered is reserved for only the specialist of situations, you should almost never leverage. Never allow yourself to be in the position of a forced seller.
If you're having dark thoughts, or feel like you've taken 10 steps backwards and want to do something drastic, please don't. Life is far longer and opportunities are abundant.
Do not trade anytime soon. Go back and reflect on what your leak was (risk management, sloppy order placement, etc.) and learn. You paid your tuition.
If you continue trading without being self critical you are not a trader you are a PROBLEM GAMBLER.
Investing, trading and the journey to becoming wealthy rarely happens overnight. The only way to become profitable is to become your own harshest critic.
I’m saying this as a holder who hasn’t sold a single JUP since the airdrop:
I’ve stopped understanding exactly what the Jupiter team is aiming for. I was so excited when I found out about GUM, but this development has dragged on. We’ve received several additional perp pairs with virtually no liquidity. Universal Deposit, where you can’t deposit USDG Roobihood and withdraw to USDG Solana...
The loans are indeed very customizable, but damn it, I have to pay a bunch of Solana accounts: providing collateral, taking out a loan, withdrawing collateral. I can’t take out different coins against the same collateral. I literally don’t want to use this, knowing how conveniently Kamino works.
Gacha packages, another bridge aggregator, damn it, a copy of Papertrade without a token, where it’s the foundation of the project.
I hope I just need to wait to see the whole picture, but for now I’m incredibly upset.

Our AI agents log millions of hours trying to break Firedancer. What makes agents good auditors can make them threats.
Here’s how we give agents tools while sandboxing them from acting maliciously. jumpcrypto.com/resources/saf…

you won’t believe it, but @dman_sol has a VERY strong degen history:
he’s been through every Solana cycle since 2020: aped the IDO season, rode DeGods to a 1000 SOL floor, survived the Luna and FTX collapses, and made bank on the Jupiter and Jito airdrops.
still here, still trading size. one of the realest guys we’ve onboarded 🫡

Medicine is a compute problem.
This model was able to predict your next health event.
Trained on 300M patients and 16B health encounters.
We overestimate the mystery of our bodies and are more predictable than we want to believe.
Cool seeing that illusion chipped away.

Pearl is uniquely positioned to build the work-accounting layer of PI infrastructure.
@AnthropicAI’s impressive work on FlashProve is a real signal for the value of @prlnet’s technology in the toolbox of provable inference (PI).
FlashProve proves inference correctness post-hoc. Moving it to real-time proof-of-inference requires time-stamping, which is what blockchains were made for..
The reality is that AI verification often cares about what a datacenter DIDN’T run. Correct inference proofs don’t rule out parallel, unmonitored workloads. @prlnet’s Pearl-GEMM protocol anchors the output to computation (FLOPs). Paired with PI, it could help bound capacity available for unauthorized training, and provide a “model-tracing” audit for agentic workloads.
