^ I kinda regret pulling my stables out of Drift's Circuit Trading feature. I heard that the guys who parked some SOL and stables there got a big chunk of the allo for the airdrop. I didn't do much on Drift but I was surprised to see that I could claim 200 tokens. That would prolly just be dust but then again I had just 500 bucks worth of stables parked at Circuit Trading for just a couple of weeks. I should've just left it alone. Lol.
So what's next on the menu as far as Solana airdrops go? I hate these point systems they're having tbh. It just enables whales and guys who are early.

So yeah, we never saw BTC go up to 75k and stay above it and there was somebody in the April thread saying that it would be impossible for him to guess it right since the poll was exclusively just for April. Mmm ok... So let's run it back again. Same poll as April: Will BTC close above 75k for the month of May? Here's the chart. It honestly doesn't look as bad as everybody thinks overall about the market rn.  |

^ Snap shot '1' obv means what it means... That there will def be another snap shot. Some guys online are guessing that snap shot 1 will be protocol usage then the next snap shots, which my come before June 30, might be community based criteria like NFT holders of some collection. Like I said before, Pudgy Penguins will get an allo from LZ but those are pretty expensive. What other more affordable NFTs are there in the Ethereum eco that could possibly make you eligible for an allo? So the strat could be if LZ airdrops their token based from protocol usage for snap shot 1, we could use that to buy an NFT that could make us eligible again for snap shot 2.  Edit: Not expecting much from LZ btw... Not much compared to my W airdrop. |

^ Oof Teixeira is too old at 44, Aldo is just 'somewhat' old at 37. And the difference is Teixeira received a really bad beating vs Jamahal Hill... Go watch the match again. I think that played a huge part in his decision to retire. Got his revenge thru Pereira tho. Lol. As for looking at the underdogs for 301, what do you guys think of Anthony Smith? I feel like Petrino is gonna be the pie shtter. :/ And here are a couple of Embedded vids...

^ Turned out it's just 5% and some people are complaining that the tokens are locked and can't be transferred? Lol. People are now joking around that Kroma's Quest Master airdrop will be better than Eigen Layer's airdrop.  That really would be so hilarious tbh. But yeah.. That's the thing with these staking for airdrops gimmick. They're way over farmed now. It wasn't like Jito when almost everybody faded it. And the devs are just using their users to get a better valuation at this point. :/ |

^ I think it's gonna be really close and I lean Aldo because it's in Brazil. As for the other stuff you're saying, no... I don't think he'll be going for the belt again. He prolly asked the UFC to be in this event to fight one last time in front of the Brazilian crowd. And at 2.31, I think it's a tad short but prolly fine if you're betting anything small.

^ Liverpool is def out of it. Sad really... I hope to see them win it all one last time for Klopp. But who knows... A miracle could happen. City and Arsenal lose a couple of matches giving Klopp one final crack at it. That would be something we'll be talking about for years. Lol. But yeah, a guy can dream. A couple of somewhat tough match ups for City tho vs Tottenham away and vs West Ham at home. Should be pretty interesting match with the genius Moyes. |

Verstappen is a driver who every team would like to sign. While there is a 'crisis' situation at Red Bull things might get really serious in time. They are trying to solve the problem before it gets bigger but it is difficult to say whether this will end for the benefit of them. Verstappen made some neutral comments on Wolff's interest in him recently. For now I'm just expecting Verstappen to focus on his racing. The contract rumours might be fake as well. News sources like to use a topic for spreading fake news for a long time in the end. But if this turns out to be a similar thing to the Hamilton - Ferrari thing then everyone would be surprised.  Nah, it's just sports journos looking for attention. They need to eat. Lol. Hamilton's contract with Ferrari is confirmed news. I don't think anybody had a clue what was gonna happen.. Not even those sports journos who are spreading 'Verstappen to leave Red Bull' rumors. Here's a hint to all you guys, if Marko leaves then Verstappen leaves. If either Horner or Newey leaves then both guys leave. :/ And guess who's more likely to leave... Marko or Newey?  |

Looks like the current airdrop wave is starting to dry up rn. No new good ones are coming out. I see these projects called Ununx, Holoworld, Hana Finance and Black Wing. :/ They look like they're not worth doing or not worth to stake our stables to.
I guess I should just maintain what I'm currently doing with the bridging in tokenless protocols and wait for LZ airdrop.
Oh and I bought a Mad Scientist NFT. Holders could get Mitosis airdrop eligibility. I missed expedition mainnet campaign.

There are new speculations around about Mercedes - Verstappen possibility and these are claimed to be strong ones this time. According to the source named Sportskeeda Mercedes is preparing to offer a contract worth €150 million. The negotiations are likely to happen after the Miami Grand Prix. Toto Wolff really wants to see Verstappen in his team. He thinks Verstappen is the best driver to fill Hamilton's seat. I agree with him but still have doubts about this signing.  It just feels like Verstappen wouldn't prefer Mercedes unless they give him the fastest car. At least for the 2025 season this signing doesn't look realistic to me. Maybe for the 2026 season it can make more sense. With all the stuff going on with Red Bull with the infighting, they could end up getting none of Horner, Newey and Verstappen. :/ Newey is rumored to leave this year and that means Horner is free to leave. So if the team can't get Verstappen a fast car then he could be tempted to leave for another team, most likely joining in with Wolff at Mercedes. I think the team that ends up winning in all of the shennanigans will be Ferrari or whoever could get Horner and Newey. Hopefully Ferrari... |

^ It's really hard to say which of these new age memecoins will last the test of time and by time, in crypto that's usually a couple of years or maybe a tad more. Lol. DOGE and SHIB are the exception and could very may well continue to be the exception as most of these memes die out.
But if there's a memecoin or two that will stand the test of time and come out surviving after the bull market, I think it will be from the Solana eco.

^ Oh nice. Good to see more mainstream guys get into crypto casinos and sports betting sites. Anyway did you guys hear the news? Looks like Adrian Newey will leave Red Bull as he is disgusted with the thing thay's going on in the team. No dates were said but it seemed like he could like anytime. There's something going on behind the scenes that we're not privy to. Next race... 2024 F1 Miami Grand Prix ScheduleTrack: Miami International Autodrome  May 3: Practice 1 12:30 - 13:30 May 3: Sprint Qualifying 16:30 - 17:15 May 4: Sprint Race 12:00 - 13:00 May 4: Qualifying 16:00 - 17:00 May 5: Race 16:00 |

Wups really? Lol. I think Ankalaev can't wait to get his hands on Pereira. The guy couldn't defend a TD even if his momma depended on it. I think Ankalaev will mop the floor with Pereira and I really hope the books will get it wrong and line Ankalaev as a huge underdog now that everybody is convinced that Pereira is like the second coming or something. As for the coming event, from a betting perspective I like Austin Hubbard at 2.33, Medic and Nicolau parlay at 2.00 and thinking about if I gamble on Guskov at 2.50. Edit: Here's a fight replay. Perez vs Formigahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRTVayIIWagIf Magomed Ankalaev had not gone with the wrestling immediately that fight could have favored Alex Pereira as we all know Magomed Ankalaev wants to start slow and he would surely get his momentum with the striking first which is Alex Pereira's playing field, we could say that it is Pereira's Bread and Butter but if Magomed Ankalaev would immediately go beyond that and finish this fight with wrestling this could be his win, but as Alex Pereira now has trained with his ground game this is still going to be an interesting fight to see as anything can surely happen if this two fights. I think the meta on Ankalaev has changed after seeing how he fought Johnny Walker twice. Lol. It wasn't the slow starter what we got used to. And Pereira himself isn't a pressure fighter too. He'll start slow vs a guy like Ankalaev who could either get a quick TD or even get KO. Pereira is low key chinny. Here are the weigh in results. I changed my mind on the main event... Perez could win as the underdog but staying away. Staying away from Medic too as a huge favorite. If he doesn't finish Tim Means early he could get in trouble at late R2 and at R3. Matheus Nicolau (125.5) vs Alex Perez (126) Bogdan Guskov (204.5) vs Ryan Spann (205.5) Ariane da Silva (126) vs Karine Silva (125.5) Jhonata Diniz (255) vs Austen Lane (254.5) David Onama (148.5)* vs Jonathan Pearce (146) Tim Means (171) vs Uros Medic (171) Victor Henry (135.5) vs Rani Yahya (136) Michal Figlak (155) vs Austin Hubbard (156) Caio Machado (251.5) vs Don’Tale Mayes (264) Marnic Mann (115.5) vs Ketlen Souza (115.5) James Llontop (156.5)* vs Chris Padilla (154.5) Na Liang (126) vs Ivana Petrovic (126) Gabriel Benitez (155) vs Hayisaer Maheshate (155.5) *Missed weight Nicolau vs Perez: Weigh Inshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDej7GKircQNicolau vs Perez: Face Offhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UrnaxCkcGUEdit: Typos. |

^ Yeah, Arbitrum said the same thing too. Yet here we are. And here's some alpha that I've learned from hunting all these airdrops... When their docs say that they eventually want to 'decentralize' their chain, protocol, project or whatever, that usually means they're going to issue a token and later have some sort of staking or governance structure.
And Coinbase could always set up an autonomous foundation based in some country that's crypto friendly to be overseer of the chain's development. So be on the look out for that. If they really do set it up then most likely there'll be an airdrop.

Everton 2-0 Liverpool
Brighton and Hove Albion 0-4 Manchester City
Wups... Is that a wrap for Liverpool or will they try harder to make up for the loss? I mean with just 4 matches to go and with the three of them somewhat a little tough. They're going against the genius Moyes and West Ham next, then the Spurs, then a tough one vs Aston Villa. By the time they get to the Wolves the squad will prolly be too fatigued to make it a trashing against the Wolves. :/ Arsenal, a couple of tough match ups vs the Spurs and Man United... And both away. Hmmm... |

^ Lmao. Those 'schools' were made to make you think the training you get is useful... Aka scams. But sparring is very useful tho. You can't learn how to fight for real without sparring, except in those 'schools', you're taught to fight in one way and one way only. So it won't really make you much of a fighter vs somebody who also knows what he's doing. If I were to bet between a black belt karate guy and a division 1 wrestler in a street fight, I'd bet on the wrestler. ^ Check out the rankings at 205 right now... Who among the top 5 has a grappling background except Ankalaev. And even then I'm not really sure if he's good at BJJ. But he is good at wrestling tho. :/ It's going to be an intruiging fight and one that could gas Pereria out. By the time he comes out of the third round his arms will be tired from all the holding he'll be forced to do vs Ankalaev. But dunno... It's just how I see it play out in my head.
Pereira just got his blackbelt in BJJ so I think it's going to be a good fight unless it ends too quickly in just a few seconds of a round. Given that Pereira has been choked in his debut in MMA, I think he prepared for someone to fight with wrestling skills. Else he goes up to fight in the HW. Jones is almost not in his prime and not in shape already compared to Pereira, I think we wouldn't see this fight happening unless Pereira pushes as early as possible so we could see some Chama in UFC. Yeah it should be good defensively vs good BJJ specialists... But then again Ankalaev doesn't wrestle to transition to BJJ on the ground. This Russian bro takes you down and drops bombs on you. Lmao. And with Pereira's suspect chin, he could go out. :/ But dunno. He has to be taken down first. Very intruiging match up. |

^ Lol and it helps that they're in Base. Seems like the rotation is now from Solana going to Base. Does that mean there's gonna be a BASE token airdrop? Are airdrop farmers smelling something..? I'm not really sure but I think Base has no choice but to issue one.
And one thing I've noticed lately is that these memecoins are a leading indicator on which chain the money rotates to next.
