⛓ On-Chain Sleuthing

One of the Biggest $DMT whales still accumulating….

this addy: https://etherscan.io/address/0x06831a104e06DbBDC3c12B754DEeA30B06a74596

is the biggest $DMT holder on Ethereum mainnet. And as we can see, he has been buying every dip in the last weeks.

The same wallet has sold some tokens once the Sanko Corp layer 3 was announced, but since then, he has been buying every dip and adding to its bag. Now holding close to 14k tokens.

IMO, $dmt remains one of the best R/R on EVM network atm.

Their flagship game Sanko Scape is soon to be released, lots of different builders are now shipping different products on the layer 3 and we are expecting Layer 0 bridge to integrate sanko chain which will open a huge flow of capital on their shitcoin ecosytems.

Sanko NFT Collection

And BTW. Me, C-l, and some other Miladys have been deep down at work to create a special NFT collection on Sanko chain.

Soon to be released: https://x.com/bootleg2k

BlockGraze SLEUTHED

Everybody on CT knows pretty well https://x.com/blockgraze
He is a known $DMT bulla & as well a big Solana guy. We recently found his Solana wallet if you want to follow him.

🔥 Hot Narratives

OP NET

Maybe you got tired of all the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem gibberish that has been entering our timeline over the past 6 months.

I was very sceptic too! Especially with regards to chains such as Stacks and Merlin. I still think they have failed to ‘unlock that dormant $1 trillion dollar market’ as they like to market it.

Ordinals and Runes did find some meaningful traction and brought excitement back to Bitcoin. However, apart from NFTs on Bitcoin and fueling a nice wave of hyperspeculation and attention things fell quiet.

It was almost as if they speedran the NFT hype, but on Bitcoin. People used the NFT first to create collections and do silly stuff with it. It wasn’t until later that project started to adopt it and gave it meaningful value (think of Uniswap V3 NFT-LP positions).

I see the same thing happening now on Bitcoin. The team behind Motoswap (a Bitcoin native DEX) also closely involved with novel token standards, have developed OP NET. A new metaprotocol on top of Bitcoin that enables smart contracts all on the L1.

For now it is only available on testnet and can be used through their forked version of the unisat wallet. Wallet link here.

You can get Bitcoin through the faucet here.

There is a tutorial on how to deploy a token here.

Good luck in the trenches!

📈 HTF Price Action Scenarios

Gm frens!

Nothing too important is happening right now. Price consolidated a bit after it broke the bullish structure; all there is to do is wait.

Overall ETH is weaker than BTC and SOL which have both shown a bit more resilience during this dump. But that doesn’t really make a difference, as I see these all as “worthless markets” right now - markets that are not worth paying attention to.

For me to become bullish again I’ll need to see a lot of strength come in first, which might take weeks, perhaps even months.

  • Supply respected

  • Demand broken through

  • Bullish trend structure lost

  • Sellers in control

There is nothing to do but to sit on our hands and protect our capital. Patiently wait for good opportunities and fearlessly pull the trigger when they line up. Until then -

Trade responsibly and I’ll see y’all next time!
