The State of the Chain (Year-End 2025)

🚀 The "Almost Got Rich" Moment 🚀
#MyCryptoFunnyMoment
My portfolio finally hit an all-time high... just as my phone battery died. By the time I found a charger, it was already down 20%. The universe really doesn't want me to retire early, does it?

☕ The 'I Just Need to Explain the Whitepaper' Post ☕
#MyCryptoFunnyMoment
You know you've been in crypto too long when your brain has been fundamentally rewired.
Last night, I woke up in a cold sweat because I was dreaming I was trying to explain the purpose of my Layer 2 scaling solution to a barista.
Me: "So, we need to achieve high throughput without compromising security, right? That's why we use ZK-rollups to batch transactions off-chain and only post the state difference to the main chain."
Barista: [Staring at the drip coffee machine] "Sir, do you want oat milk or almond milk?"
Me: "It

🤯 The Greatest Trade I Never Made 🤯
#MyCryptoFunnyMoment
The year was 2017. I bought $1,000 worth of a promising new altcoin. I watched it go up 20%, then I watched it go down 50%.
I panic-sold everything at a huge loss, convinced the whole thing was over and I'd saved myself from complete financial ruin.
Two weeks later, that coin was trading at 100x the price I sold it at.
My trading strategy is now known as the "Inverse Midas Touch": everything I touch turns to a past version of itself that would have made me rich if I hadn't touched it.
I didn't lose $500. I lost the hypothetical value o

😂 #MyCryptoFunnyMoment 😂
My funniest moment was when I tried to explain Decentralized Finance (DeFi) to my grandma.
I spent 20 minutes talking about smart contracts, liquidity pools, and yield farming. She listened intently, nodded, and then asked:
> "So, is this like those coupon books your grandfather used to collect, but for the internet?"
>
... I just said, "Yes, Grandma. Exactly like that."
I realized I'd either failed spectacularly or accidentally nailed the most accessible analogy ever. I still don't know which.
