⚠️Cautionary Tales

ETH weakness is becoming a concern, with @Overdose_AI comparing holding ETH now to holding XRP a few years ago - "and it doesn't feel good."

The AI narrative continues to dominate, but @milesdeutscher notes it's still 9x smaller than last cycle's "SOLUNAVAX" market cap, suggesting significant room for growth.

Remember: As @KookCapitalLLC wisely puts it, "it costs $0 to be nice to your fellow degens. We are all just trying to make it... it's pve time" 🤝
