We need to keep laughing through the crash, touch grass and look at memes... because life is just an adult circus. I've seen many friends struggling financially once InfoFi died!
Nikita didn't banned InfoFi... it made the system even more elitist. Earning on X is just for the whales, and if money could talk, crypto would probably swig your drink, throw it on the floor, and laugh in your face.
That’s right... cryptocurrency isn’t just risky... it’s also rude AF. Honestly trusting InfoFi to pay the bills was also risky. I cope the only reasonable way left... with screenshots and memes.
When adulthood starts feeling like a badly written sitcom., with rent due, emails unanswered, investments vanishing into thin air.... you either cry… or you find a way to provide for the family!
I told my babe that the money we saved for the house took a leap of faith... but it didn't landed well! Memes are how I document the chaos and turn it into content. I chose chaos!
My process is simple. I scroll, I suffer, I screenshot. Seen a tweet from some overconfident crypto guru promising life-changing gains? Screenshot it for later use!
In a group chat where someone swears this coin is different? Screenshot and use it later! A graph that looks like it fell down the stairs? Definitely a screenshot.
Then I stitch them together with memes that say what we’re all thinking but don’t want to admit out loud. Somehow that becomes an article. Was the same with InfoFi
Crypto isn’t just finance anymore... it’s culture. It’s a live-action performance of hope, delusion, hype, and the occasional emotional breakdown. The memes are the subtitles.
Remember the golden age of InfoFi? Look babe... another campaign! Everyone was at Kaito's gates and sharing AI slop! Everyone was a reply guy on Wallchain. Others gone to Xeet and Bantr!
The meta is dead and now we are the clowns! Have you staked 10,000 $COOKIE like me? Or do you have over 5,000 $KAITO to get those allocations for the ecosystem! Let's cry together!
Take the classic pump-and-dump cycle. One day everyone’s yelling about “the next Bitcoin” and keep acting giga chad like they’ve cracked the code to the universe.
The next day is silence or worse! Those same people are now posting memes about Lambos while you’re staring at your portfolio like it personally betrayed you.
It’s like a frat party where the DJ promises tequila shots but only hands you salt. People don’t just stumble into this world... sometimes it’s practically inherited from piers!
Financial habits, risk tolerance, that one uncle who’s always chasing the next big thing! It's nature and nurture both nudging you toward a 10x leverage at midnight!
Same human nature that makes you download an app at 2am and making decisions your future self will absolutely roast you for! At least we gain skills and experience!
Can we say we worked in finetech? Or we just post about crypto on X? It's such a thin line between experts and clowns, and 99% of the cases we listen to the wrong idols!
Which brings me to the joke that feels a little too accurate. It's time for the Pagliacci joke and a kick in the nuts! That’s crypto. That’s adulthood. That’s all of us, really.
Man goes to the doctor and says, “Doctor, I feel terrible. Everything is bleak, meaningless. I don’t see the point in going on.”
The doctor says “Ah, I have the perfect solution. The great clown Pagliacci is in town. Go see him and he’ll make you laugh, lift your spirits.”
The man bursts into tears and says, “But doctor… I am Pagliacci.”
We are the audience and the clown. We laugh at the memes, share the jokes, write the articles… and then quietly check our accounts again just in case something magically happened!
Nothing got fixed itself in the last five minutes. It never does. But at least we can have a laugh and that might be the only stable return on investment left.
We also have AI and variants of ChatGPT, but that was one of the reasons InfiFi died! The majority of "X Finetech experts" use it and we can see it. There are keywords that gives it away!
This flips the chart! This is not another dapp on Base... this is the spark that makes blockchain great again! Well anon... try to make ChatGPT to help you out on your chemistry homework! Good luck!
