!?️ War Announcements Looming as Gold Hits $3,508:
PLUS a PumpFun thesis for the rest of this cycle!
Become your own bank.
It’s time to ditch your bank altogether and embrace the crypto life:
Spend it directly with no fees on the sale, and earn 3-5% back on every purchase—debit or credit.
Never sell - live like a billionaire: avoid taxes, compound wealth. Don’t worry about on-and-off ramps or taxes by spending against your balance as credit debt.
Pay off your debt with yield + cashback: earn 9% on stables, 7% on ETH, 2% on BTC, with HYPE and SOL on the way.
Use borrow mode: 70% LTV against your whole portfolio, “only borrow, never sell”
Keep self-custody, earn big yield, and never pay for instant withdrawals or have your money stuck in a CEX again.
GM, it’s getting heated again.
The only constants this year seem to be Justin Sun and the Trump clan, never failing to max extract. One of the most awaited launches, World Liberty Finance, managed to dump 43% mere hours after the launch, with Justin receiving $145M right off the bat, which accounts for only 20% of his total allocation. GG.
With the Trump Family amassing a $5 billion fortune in crypto, we might need to start questioning what happens once democrats retake hold of the White House. The 2022-2023 flashbacks are hitting hard here.
Speaking of Trump, there’s an announcement coming at 2 PM ET, with some speculating it will be a war announcement, as gold just hit a new all-time high at $3508. Let’s see.
Chart-wise, BTC leans more toward bounce than full-on dump. Considering how many lower highs it printed in recent weeks, I wouldn’t say those are safe from liquidations.
From here, we need to watch the $108.1k level again. As long as BTC closes above it—and especially if it reclaims $112K—the odds of a push toward $116K improve sharply.
The question is, is it a bounce for Bitcoin dominance in September? ETH/BTC looks like it wants to nap, even though old BTC whales are still flipping it for ETH. If we get the first two weeks of bounce into quadruple witching + rate cuts derisk, it could mean a whole month without much opportunity, with real action returning in October.
Watch for TOTAL2 here if you want to gauge altcoin action. It’s best to see this one back above 1.54T for a bullish outcome.
It’s yet another interesting month again. As always, we’ll cover everything day by day right here, so stay tuned.

Telemetry data of the day.
PumpFun + Heaven + Bonk trending tokens for the last 24h:
If you want to access more of this type of data and trade freshly graduated tokens on PumpFun of Bonk, visit Telemetry here (it`s free).
The only “revenue meta” project that is able to compete with Hyperliquid.
PUMP had to go through a not-so-nice post-TGE period full of FUD (and “Jew Mode” memes), but I think the tide is starting to turn.
Considering PumpFun was able to buy back 5% of the circulating supply during a period when there were only like five traders left onchain (jk, but check this chart; it’s grim), I would say it has a high potential to blow up once the activity starts increasing again.
Let’s not forget Pumpfun is the fastest-growing business in history (!). If activity returns, and they manage to evolve the other verticals, such as the streaming side, I think PUMP has the potential to become one of the best trades of this year.
$PUMP has bought back 5% of the circ supply, with about 4% of that in the last month and is generating high revenue once again. 1% a week is a pretty free trade.
I think this will be trading over the ico price in the very near future, and possibly even towards ath's as long

To save you doom scrolling.
Continuing our PumpFun debate from the degen corner, I think this is worth watching as a demonstration of how dominant this launchpad truly is.
🚨JUST IN: A timeline of the last 120 days shows how Solana’s memecoin launchpad war played out, with Pump.fun rising to dominate and emerging as the clear winner.

Once again, an unstoppable force met an immovable object: today, Jim Cramer explained that “September is usually weak for markets,” while Eric Trump shouted on X how “things are just starting”.
If I had to guess, both will be right. One during the first half of this month, the second during the latter half. Time to make our bets. Good luck.
stay safe homies,
