What’s up everybody, it’s Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly. Sol Price: 175.98 Sol Eth: .05223 Sol BTC: .0025 Overall take on market: Volatility is here. Ups and downs - 205 down to 170's is a pretty big range, we’re sitting at the bottom of that range and I’m buying. To the market: W Token - We got the Wormhole airdrop. Hot dog token taking over. Sanctum - INF lst token, potential airdrop. Holding a good amount in this because the yield is over 10% without any leverage. Zeus airdrop today, nim airdrop coming soon, kmno releasing the amount of tokens you get with a pre release price of $.15/ token. I found out that I have something like $500 at this rate and demand a recount. Ores - proof of work mining and crushing the network.

Solana Weekly #62 - Memes and Dreams

3/21/2024
What’s up everybody, it’s Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly where we discuss what has been going down on Solana in the last week and try to figure out the long term implications. Sol Price: 189.92 - up from 163 last week, but it sure doesn’t feel like it. Sol Eth: .05379 - The eth maxis in disbelief as this chart mooned. Sol BTC: .002824 - this is on an uptrend and we love to see it. Bonk Market Cap: 1.5 billion. Solana Price at ATH while the network struggling is also at ATH is something that’s happened before. To the market: Meme coins have taken center stage on Solana and have gotten out of hand. F Double standards of reporting - Solana reports are terrible saying how congested it is, where on Base fees are bullish for demand, it’s insane. Defi: Kamino points to an end soon, Parcl points ending soon, I think it’s about time we get some more tokens dropped and it seems like that’s the case. BonkRewards are coming in thick. NFT's: Dead, bloodbath for NFT’s on Solana right now, if you believe in Sol NFT’s, here’s your dip. Bitcoin NFT’s are popping off, thats right it’s ordinal season. Protocol of the week: Flexlend - if you have stables, throw them in there and watch the 10-20% yields flow. Token of the week: I could say a memecoin, but I think I’m going to stick with Solana itself, we saw a 160-212 candle, I didn’t expect that level of volatility, but this is what we see in a bull market and I’m here for it. As always, thanks for tuning in, like, subscribe, and leave a review if you found this useful. We’ve got a crazy few months coming up and let’s make sure that we get the most out of it. Looking forward to next week, make sure you all get your taxes in and your stables out. Airdrop checker: https://solana-airdrop-checker.solworks.dev/ Solanaweekly.io This is a public episode.

Sol Eth: .0335 - fairly flat Sol BTC: .0019185 - down a bit Bonk Market Cap: 2.1 billion! Bonk/BTC: 2 billion - will continue to go down. Overall take on market: Up, Bonk!!! - Memecoin of the year on Coin Market Cap. That's right, we hit ath and I can only see it going higher. Quick Coinbase rant Speaking of USDC, the demand for stables is insane right now. There are literally yields of 50% that are easily accessible. NFT's: Down on my SMB purchase, ahh the old feeling of being underwater on my monkey jpeg. Quekz - removed points from Tensor and the floor price has only been flat or up. Wallets: Magic Eden's wallet is coming out as the best way to bridge between Sol, Eth, and BTC. More and more bullish Magic Eden even though I don't use it. Protocol of the week: Still Moonwalk. Been diving into Access Protocol, Solarplex, Discover, Farcaster and think Friendtech will come to Solana. Token of the week: Bonk - does it even change? The power of Mert This is a public episode.

Lad's doing amazing over 200 Sol floor and talks of a second collection and it seems like there are some being inscribed as ordinals on BTC? They are also rumored to be getting a fat drop from Wormhole, I saw that today is a Wormhole Wednesday, so maybe we see some airdrops soon? Depin: Helium has released Multi Factor Authentication - doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but adds an authenticator to your account which could be massive in stopping hackers from getting into your accounts. Defi: Use airdrops to combine with other airdrops to receive more airdrops. NFT's: NFT market broken with farmers. I couldn't take it anymore and bought my SMB Gen 2 back.

What’s up everybody, it’s Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly where I will be breaking down the last week in Solana and the long term implications. Sol Price: 118.10 - pumping and up over $20 from last week. Sol Eth: .04261 - fairly flat, Eth has actually been moving and it's healthy. Sol BTC: .00226 Flat as well, we love to see this. Sol Per BTC: 441 Bonk Market Cap: 1.28 billion and growing. Bonk/BTC: 3.8 Billion Overall take on market: Looking great. Woke up this morning to green candles everywhere and couldn't be happier. BTC leading the charge, but ETH and SOL also following along and SOL still outperforming. Depin: HNT up over 9.30 and they just released a big partnership with Google where they are giving yearly plans away with the purchase of a new phone, or discounted plans and hotspots. Defi: Great opportunities are still out there. NFT's: Nothing crazy, thinking about live event season. Protocol of the week: Bonkrewards.com - locked up over a billion Bonk here with most being at a 6 month lock up for 2x the rewards. Token of the week: Bonk - I'm so bullish on bonk. Other news: Taxes coming up, our man Crypto Tax Sucks is running out of time to get things done in time, reach out sooner than later. Closing thoughts: The importance of figuring out what type of market participant you are. Everyone thinks they are a trader or nft flipper, but take a look back and look where you made the most money, or where you spent the most time. That does it for this week, I’m hoping to see Sol over 140 and Jup over $1 next week, thanks for joining, this is Thomas Bahamas. This is a public episode.

Solana Weekly #55 - Down Wif The ETF

1/25/2024
What's up everybody, this is Thomas Bahamas and we're back with another episode of Solana Weekly. Not the week I expected, with talks of the beginning of the bull last week, ETF released, and the market reacts by viciously dumping. We'll dig into why that happened and what else we have going on in these times of acceleration on Solana. Sol Price: 86.12 - with a crash down to $78 SolEth: .03891 with a crash down to .035 SolBTC: .002167 with a crash below .00205. Overall market sentiment: you look at this last week and we went from over $100 Solana down over 20% and think that this must be a bad trend. My friends, we must simply zoom out. The etf was in fact a sell the news event. Presidential campaign: Biden has to pump the bags in order to get re-elected or put some sort of positive spin on his political party. To the happenings of the Solana market: Paypal releasing their stablecoin on Solana. I see huge potential here, almost like a way to back into using crypto through traditional rails. Think pay with paypal, but you use their stablecoin. Use those couple hundred dollars you have sitting on Venmo to send direct to your crypto wallet. You can do that with Eth now, but I’m suspecting that you can do this with Solana soon and this could be the start of something big. Drift releasing token/ points Jupuary madness keeps going - mock jup Tensor- nft perps or something like it. Sujiko warriors also launched from the same guy that launched the solana airdrop checker. NFTs - both misunderstood and undervalued per the man himself - loomdart: Helium just launched in Mexico with a huge partnership. Is this getting to mass scale? I think so. Meme coin’s aren’t going anywhere, I tried to fade most but i actually just think they are going to crush now. Some of my fav are the Stanley cup, bib, Wif - the dog has a hat. Bsktfi is something I’m kind of obsessed with right now as well, Solana, Eth, BTC and the latest meme tokens of Solana all backed in one token with insane farming incentives. Seems like a lot of chads are in it, still need to do more research, but I’m in. Wallet talk - Backpack has been putting in some work and it’s performance is excellent. This is a public episode.

Solana Weekly #54 - Happy Jupuary

1/17/2024
What’s up everybody it’s Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly. It’s the bull market and we are in full swing with the Crypto Undeads hyping up the NFT market and selling out a 10k pfp instantly, sol is looking great, and yes Jupiter’s airdrop is on it’s way at the end of the month. We’ve got a lot to cover and it seems like Franklin Templeton with Trillions under management have hired an intern and have taken to pumping our bags on Twitter. I’m loving it and we’ll dig into all of these and see what we need to do to prep for this bull run. Sol Price - $101.78 up a small amount from last week, but not quite out of this consolidation. $140 is the short term target with not much in the way after that to $200. SOLETH - .04022 - kind of chopping here which is good, we’ll see this go up more. SOLBTC .00238 - not bad, not bad at all. The BTC ETF has been massive, tons of flows, some of it out of GBTC to other ETF’s but it’s something like 4.5 billion dollars worth of flows and all of this will be positive for our space in general. I’m hoping this leads to my ETHE pumping more and would love to unwind that position. Crypto undead NFT drop - 20 sol, down to 11, then we go to the absolute moon? Got me all excited, can't tell if it's a rug or a moon, the drop of tombstones wasn't cool, but I'm ready and my bags are packed. Either way I think this is getting some hype to NFT's on Solana and would love to see this go to the moon. New Solana phone! I aped the 2nd Solana phone, slightly cheaper, and maybe it will be slightly easier to use. Either way seeing how the first phone went I think it financially made sense and I want to keep supporting them. Even if it flops and we don't get 10k airdropped right away, it will be a great hardware wallet. Helium- added a new line, can't get over how good this is. Mockjup dropped and Jupuary is getting me all jacked up. Bull market prep- Sleep is still necessary. Health is still incredibly important, both physical and mental. Shiny objects go up and down. You don’t need to hit them all. Keep your high conviction and most your portfolio in those and keep them untouched. Set targets - whether that’s sell limit orders or alerts on trading view, have a plan and execute Cobies triangle. People always buy too quick on the way up and sell too slow on the way down. Take some profits. Couple % here and there. Life changing money - take it out, most people start acting very irrationally with access to too much $ so quickly. Chart your largest holdings vs Bitcoin not usdc. Curate good news inflow and actually do research if you’re going to put a good chunk into anything. Motives of people are to make money, bag shilling will be everywhere and will be tempting. Don’t click links - scams will get better. Froth at the top will feel like you can’t miss. You will never catch the exact pico top or bottom. Just get near it and you’re doing better than most. Understand your strengths and what got you here. It likely wasn’t high leveraged positions or wild meme coins, holding strong coins for a while usually does it, the rest is just distraction. All That is advice I’ve accumulated over the years and am hoping to take with me into battle. We have a massive opportunity on our hands and are still early. My plan is to stake and hold Sol, target is $400. Hold bonk until 10 billion mcap, probably won’t make this the whole way. Increase sol holdings through other sol tokens listed on Coinbase. Hold jito, hold jup. I’m probably going to not get too deep into NFTs, or at least try not to. Maybe some presales and I’m really looking at the Kanpai Pandas as a long term play. But I hold the Quekz, Famous Foxes, and few others I have. At the end of last year my tax guru said rather than tax lost harvest, just get rid of any NFTs you don’t want to hold. If you can’t sell them, burn them. This kind of changed my mind about the nft game and makes me just want to hold quality and...

Solana Weekly #53 - Happy BTC ETF Day, If You Celebrate

1/10/2024
What’s up everybody! This is Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly. Barry said it’s going to be a big week and is finally right, we are getting legitimized. Let’s take a look at how a BTC ETF will impact our bags, the btc price, the whole crypto ecosystem, and how we set ourselves up to benefit off of it. Sol Price - 97.13 and looking like it's ready to pop up. SolEth - .04 - slight dip here, Eth and Eth beta plays are catching a bid. SolBTC - .00209 - this is an interesting one because Sol was mimicking BTC's price action on these wild swings. What were the wild swings you ask? Well the freaking SEC's twitter account was hacked yesterday and they released that the BTC ETF was officially approved. Bonk of course is pumping - at .00001503 and I will simply smooth brain hold this longer than Saga Phone continues to crush. Helium - again, this is seeming more and more like a no brainer to switch over to. Focus on the majors, as tempting as it is, I think this is the time to sit in spot and sit in majors. Coinbase convo SMB can't catch a break. Quekz floor is down, but the vibes haven't left, the whales simply hold, 250k treasury for parties, centered around fun. So I will keep holding. Airdrop Update: Jupiter will be the biggest of the year as far as wide distribution and total value. Margin is being overlooked, once they convert points to tokens we could see massive wealth effects. I've added significantly to my lending after thinking about this. Drift - contender for coming out with something massive. Kamino is dropping their points system soon, this could be big . Samo did an airdrop to Saga holders and made a tool to airdrop holders of the Genesis NFT token. My guess is after the Jup drop we see NFT's catch a raging pump and we unfortunately see a ton more memecoins go to the moon. I hope the usedcar and urmom coin go to the moon and we all make it. There's going to be so much opportunity and so much fun out there I can't wait. Let's get onchain and have some fun out there. This is a public episode.

Solana Weekly #52 - New Year, New ATH Targets

1/5/2024
What’s up everybody! This is Thomas Bahamas and we are back for another episode of Solana Weekly! Let’s recap the major W that is 2023, talk about wins, talk about predictions, and talk about the strategies that are going to keep us winning. Sol price: 104.88 - we started the year around $10. Over a 10x for just holding. SolEth: .04560 - with .1 in sights and breaking it a reality. For reference, we started the year at .01. SolBTC - .002353 - started the year at .00055. We’ve been crushing. Year in review Dca the ultimate strategy. Biggest wins for me - bonk, sol, quekz, gbtc to coin, jito, pyth. Plan for 2024 - hold sol, stake it, hold bonk. Saved Solana phone, we got another one on the way and yes they sold out. Bringing the 3rd option for the app marketplace onboard. Pumped helium - Helium - it pays for itself. Cosmos blowing up? Maybe, there’s always potential there, but it never goes anywhere. Btc as a tradfi toy. Rise of great traders that can talk sophisticatedly about what we’ve been talking about for the last year. Empire price predictions are wild. Looking at 600-700 Solana this year. We have Solana doing awesome things and delivering the best experience for anything crypto: Phone, phone service, maps, walking apps, NFTs, nft marketplaces, dog coins, dao’s, trading platforms including perps, staking, liquid staking, borrow/ lend, yield, airdrops, firedancer, new protocols with tiny spls, inscriptions, compression, wire dancer, tiny dancer. Yes there are other L1’s that are interesting, but none that are at the level that Solana is. This is a public episode.

Solana Weekly #51- Hyped and Hacked

12/13/2023
What’s up everybody! This is Thomas Bahamas and we are back for another episode of Solana Weekly! Madness in the markets, liquidity is upon us. We got the Jito airdrop kicking off the market, and after recording we even got a Bonk on Coinbase announcement then dump? Not sure what that is about, but let’s dive into it. Sol - 65.61 with a pump up to 78 and a correction back down with the rest of the market. SolEth - .03152, still looking so good. Solbtc- .001667, still hanging on as well. Bonk at .0000116 and even though we pumped up to like 15, we are so optimistic. We had the Coinbase listing, we had a pump up and a full retrace. Think it’s worth looking at. Jito insanity - no way did i think we’d see it this high. Pumped to over $4. I got a wallet hacked. Jupiter airdrop is setting up to be wild. Prediction is that it opens up around a dollar and runs over 2. But we’ll see, different dynamic in this drop from Jupiter in the quantity of wallets. All you had to do was swap to qualify, where Jito rewarded holding. With all this airdrop talk, we gotta talk security. So all my cold storage had Jito sol in them. I had to connect to the site to claim. This made all my cold wallets hot wallets. Knowing this I did a bunch of rearranging and moved that jitoSol from these wallets. This is important because I was actually hacked. It happened, after 7 years of nothing and never really coming close, I got hacked. For a small amount. But I connected my saga phone to claim a drop from the us and it geo restricted that account. So I was asking for help in the discord and I got a dm and a solution. The solution was a hack and I fell for it. He impersonated a mod in the jito discord, had a solution of importing my seed( I know, stupid, it’s like the cardinal rule) into the Solflare web wallet and I did. He then stole the couple sol I left in the wallet. Helium is running 12 days of Christmas. Monkedao is running 24 days of Christmas. Rewards everywhere. Bonk is dropping more tokens on Christmas if you’re on the nice list! Think this might complete airdrops that were failed, so if you think you might have had one, check it out. Got airdropped some chonky coin and bought more, good meme. Hivemapper is absolutely sending right now. This is depin and mapping based off of cars. Saga- free, bonk drop over $350 I sold my gen 2 SMB. I feel like it was time. Right after I sold it, it pumped haha. So I was close enough to where I bought and I just don’t have a use for it. I know in real life parties are great, I got kids man, I don’t care about the small mints right now either. I get all those with a gen 3 anyways. I don’t really care about voting and realized that even when I did care and vote it didn’t help. This is a public episode.
