What's that? An ex ___ employee dusted off a dormant X account to release a hot new product on RH with 70% of supply bundled? Oh but don't worry they're not hacked, they proved it by sharing a link to their TG! Oh bonkguy is holding $BELL?! Gettin silly out there.

Introducing @AnalongStudios the NFT studio behind my creative disruption It’s also time to announce my debut solo art project: Max Extractors I’ve reflected a lot on my past in crypto and about where I want to go in the future It’s time to transition from just a “founder or trader” and start allowing myself to create freely as an artist too I figured what better way to announce this transition than by absolutely ragebaiting everyone with my debut work which is polarizing and controversial MAX EXTRACTORS The concept is simple, right now the most popular NFTs are ones that pay you to hold them or in other words… make you money. So I am releasing an NFT that you have to pay to hold. Yes, you read that right. There artwork begins with 44,444 Max Extractors Each Extractor costs 0.0000444 ETH per day to exist. If the daily deposit is not met, the NFT is extracted from the collection and burned forever. 44,444 -> 44,443 The more people that hate this project, hate the idea, hate me, hate the art, the better. Less demand for Max Extractors means more Max Extractors getting burned. In other words, this artwork is intended to ragebait as many people as possible. Arguably the best ragebait is the art itself, it’s just a default profile picture... pixelated. Anybody could make it. The PFP isn’t the only art though, the mechanic is the art. The collection is permanently deflationary until the collection size drops to 444. The final 444 become immortal and no longer require the daily extraction fee. These 444 are the finale of my debut artwork and there is nothing I can do to determine which art makes it to the finale or how long it takes to get there. The extraction happens everyday at 4:44pm EST. There is a 24 hour clock on the site to track how many Extractors are at risk, a full dashboard to manage them, and anything else you need to follow along. How do you mint a Max Extractors? You don’t. The entire collection of 44,444 was airdropped to Spritehood Wisp holders. One to one, 1 wisp = 1 extractor. This artwork begins with them. The future of it is entirely up to them. Whether they decide to keep them, let the extraction burn them, or sell them, it’s out of my hands. Let the extraction begin. maxextractors.io Q&A / Concerns ⬇️ "What is your plan with this?" It’s just a PFP. You can choose to keep it, use, let it burn, or whatever you want. That’s it. No utility, no game, nothing more than the daily extraction mechanic and some cool art. “Cole you’re not an artist, you can’t just say you’re an artist.” Actually I can, I just did. In fact, this is the exact reaction I am looking for. I'm hoping this strikes emotion into people, good or bad, that's the art. “I don’t have time to deposit ETH everyday” You can deposit as many days in advance as you like and then you are hands off. You can even deposit ETH for other people so your friends can help out of your on vacation or traveling. The days transfer to the new owner if you sell. You can also let it burn, there is no incentive to keep it if you don’t want it. “What about Spritehood?” The development of Spritehood is going fantastic. The art is about 75% done. I’ve spent months working on it and there was some serious setbacks including me nuking the entire trait list and restarting to make it higher quality. I curate it more everyday and it has 100% of my focus. Spritehood is my passion project, people will try and twist it to say that I gave up on it for this but that's quite the opposite, this is just a little fun art gift that people can PFP while I continue cooking Spritehood. “What is Analong Studios?” It’s the NFT design studio that will be the battlestation of all my current and future endeavors. Not much to say about that but there is a fun minigame on the site. "Why does my Max Extractor already have days deposited?" If you were holding a divine spritehood wisp, you received 4 days deposited and if you were holding a enhanced spritehood wisp, you received 44 days deposited + the rarest color palette.

You can only imagine my disappointment when I posted this then ran another new token through the same analysis to see the same result. 15 pre-exempt addresses bypass the anti snipe to accumulate 84% of supply and rake in +1K ETH after selling all tokens. $LEGS @legsdotfun

The dark side of hype and attention. With the accelerating growth of Robinhood comes opportunists and extractors. I almost got zapped by one of these extractors, or rather a team of extractors on $PRESS. Intuition thankfully saved me as my gut feeling was off and I trusted it. I followed the "Docs" page and it was just a description of the platform and mechanisms but no links to contracts or proof of anything. At this point I sold and went down the rabbit hole to follow the money. I sleuthed on robinscan to find the funding addresses of the deployer so I could feed it to Sol 5.6 and parse through all the data. I knew this shit wasn't right but I discovered this launch was one of ELEVEN in the last four days all using the same structure. The team launches a token and pre-exempts a list of selected wallets (20+) from the launch’s anti-snipe tax. A bundle contract uses those addresses to buy 70-80% of supply and shuffle them through new wallets to create inorganic demand and get eyes on the token. Once real buyers step in with enough volume, those same shuffled wallets sell until they have no tokens left. $PAYIT $RH10 solana:DQwQ2nxgaMHFCpitn2typMLwRSNugq9YTDr6Ezd7pump solana:EP3gwdJ2n3zHHBkWXWfHkNRnpiz2tGbxw1HiW6r8pump $HOTPACK ethereum:0x6c6ee5e31d828de241282b9606c8e98ea48526e2 $TAPE $POCKET solana:9uSSUB2RSu6mrFQxWHzmbUXMRLjt29NMQLYvScDHpump $PRESS All of these combined to extract several hundreds of ETH. Nothing will come of this because it's the wild west out here but the lesson is to trust your intuition and trade smart knowing there are some absolute scumbags out there with one goal and one goal only, EXTRACT.

$PRISM @PrismMothership @ColbySaysHi might be one of the more interesting ways to play the emerging Uniswap V4 Hooks narrative. Most people are looking at V4 as simply “the next Uniswap.” I think they’re missing the bigger picture. 🧵 1/ Uniswap V4 turns liquidity into a programmable platform. Hooks allow developers to plug custom logic directly into pools dynamic fees, custom liquidity logic, limit orders, TWAMMs, MEV capture, oracles, incentives and much more. Basically: DeFi becomes programmable at the pool level. 2/ And this is already happening. Uniswap itself says V4 is designed as a developer platform with hooks, with 150+ hooks developed around launch. The architecture makes it possible for developers to build entirely new financial products without having to build a completely new AMM from scratch. That is a HUGE unlock. 3/ This is where PRISM gets interesting. $PRISM is not trying to compete with Uniswap. It is building on top of V4. The Mothership thesis is essentially: V4 Hooks → new DeFi products → new liquidity + trading activity → economic value captured by PRISM. 4/ Spectrum is the first product that really caught my attention. It turns investment theses into onchain basket/index products. Instead of buying 10 different assets individually, you can potentially create a basket representing an entire thesis. AI basket. DeFi basket. Base basket. RWA basket. Whatever. 5/ And this is bigger than “another index protocol.” Spectrum is designed as an open-source, self-hostable system where creators can launch their own basket-token frontend. So theoretically, the ecosystem can have MANY products built on the same underlying infrastructure. That’s the part I’m watching closely. 6/ Now look at PRISM V2. Only 5,000 PRISM supply. The token itself is a Uniswap V4 hybrid and its fee mechanism is built directly into the V4 architecture. ETH-side protocol fees → 100% to holders. PRISM-side fees → 80% holders + 20% burned. (GitHub) 7/ This creates a potential flywheel: More V4 products ↓ More users + trading ↓ More fees ↓ More value flowing through PRISM ↓ More holder fees + burns ↓ Scarcer PRISM And @spectrumindexes is designed to feed part of its economic activity back into PRISM. 8/ The valuation is what makes this asymmetric to me. PRISM is currently around $2M FDV with a 5,000-token supply. At that valuation, the market isn’t pricing in much success. If the Mothership becomes a real ecosystem for V4 financial products, the upside from here could be substantial. 9/ Of course, there are risks. V1 was exploited. V2 is a completely new contract design, and the team has published the exploit disclosure and extensive V2 testing. But security risk never disappears in DeFi. And most importantly: Narrative ≠ adoption. 10/ So I’m watching the actual numbers: • Spectrum volume • Basket TVL • Fees generated • Number of active baskets • Users • PRISM burns • Holder fee distributions • New V4 products built around the ecosystem If those numbers start accelerating, the thesis gets MUCH stronger. 11/ My current thesis: I don’t think the bet here is simply: “PRISM token will pump.” The bet is: Uniswap V4 Hooks become a major DeFi primitive → V4 enables a new wave of financial products → $PRISM becomes one of the early economic layers capturing that activity. At ~$2M, that’s an interesting asymmetric bet. Still extremely early. Still extremely risky. But definitely one I’m watching closely. 🌈 NFA
