📉 2025 BEAR MARKET ISN’T SCARY EVEN IF IT HURTS

If you’ve been here since 2015, you know that sinking feeling when charts go red. But this "bear market" feels completely different from the nightmares of the past.

Yeah, bags are bleeding. But the fear that crypto might die? That fear's gone. As Simon Kim (CEO of Hashed) put it:

Back then, people worried about governments banning everything. Or some fancy global ledger tech replacing blockchains entirely.

Now, it’s the opposite:

• Global regulations are finally building guardrails, not roadblocks

• Institutional investors are waking up. Harvard’s biggest bet is a crypto fund (IBIT)

• Stablecoins keep breaking mint records

• Tokenization is everywhere, like assets, services, digital perks

• Billions will use crypto via fintech and big tech, not exchanges

And by 2030, stablecoins could 10x easily. The cycle still goes up and down. But the underlying structure is getting rock solid, and that’s something price alone can’t show you.

Now look back at 2022. I was once told you about this, that was chaos. Everything exploded at once, Terra/LUNA, 3AC, Celsius, FTX/Alameda, and Genesis. We lived in panic, wondering if Coinbase or USDC would be next.

In 2025, we’re just… slowly bleeding. It’s boring and mentally draining, but there are no explosions. No domino effects.

And that’s the crazy part, the fundamentals have never been stronger. Check what's happening right now in this "bear market":

• Big institutions just getting started

• Governments going pro-crypto

• ETFs mainstreamed

• DATs rolling out

• Companies adding crypto to treasury

• Wall Street building out digital asset infrastructure

• Tokenization and prediction markets going live, not just talked about

• Serious discussions about Strategic Bitcoin Reserves happening at government levels

If someone told me years ago all this would happen during a bear market, I'd call BS. But here we are.

So, when prices drop but fundamentals keep rising, that’s opportunity. Sure, red portfolios suck. I feel it too. But when the foundation is getting stronger and stronger, low prices start to look more like a gift.

If gold can have a decade-long bull run, Bitcoin and this whole industry can absolutely do the same.

⚡ Bottom line: 2025 ≠ 2022. Not even close.

🧨 BASE’S HEAD LAUNCHED $JESSE. SHOULD WE JOIN?

Jesse Pollak, the Head of Base, the guy who literally helped build the whole chain, just launched $JESSE, a personal token under his real ENS: jesse.base.eth

It's the first time an exec from Coinbase (a NASDAQ-listed giant!) launched a token tied to his name, on the L2 he helped create.

So… worth aping in? Or is this just a very risky science experiment?

1/ What even is $JESSE?

JESSE is a creator coin, ERC-20 on Base, fixed supply, live onchain, with liquidity via Zora V4. You can mint, follow, and trade it right on Base App (which itself is still pre-launch).

But what makes it special is that 👉 Jesse sees this as a "live test" of the onchain creator economy model he’s been building quietly for 18 months.

It’s just like “Watch what happens when I tokenize myself.” It’s bold. It's weird. It’s... kinda genius?

2/ What’s the bigger play here?

To really get $JESSE, you’ve gotta understand 3 moves happening behind the scenes:

• Base is shifting from DeFi-heavy to being a social chain → less Uniswap, more TikTok-onchain.

• Base App is the “super app” they’ve been cooking with a wallet, content feed, chat app, and trading platform all mashed together

• Creator economy is the thesis, and Jesse’s the first guinea pig

Jesse’s trying to flip the Web2 creator model on its head. No more renting attention from algorithms. He wants creators to own attention like equity using:

• Content coins: Tokenize posts → mint volume = value

• Creator coins: Tokenize your personal brand → community reflects trust, skill, and vibes

Put them together, and you get the “creator flywheel”. Jesse keeps talking about:
Create → Earn → Grow → Repeat.

And $JESSE is his proof-of-concept. If the flywheel works, it starts spinning here.

3/ How’s the community reacting?

It’s a mixed bag, as we expected.

Supporters (mostly Base builders and Farcaster folks) are hyped. They see it as Jesse putting skin in the game, and think it could kickstart a whole wave of legit creator coins.

Skeptics (old-school devs) are like, “Isn’t this just a memecoin in a suit?”

Traders are watching sniper bots, FDV spikes, and fake contracts like hawks. One sniped early and made $600K in seconds.

Everyone’s watching. Because if $JESSE fails, it’ll hit Base’s entire narrative.

4/ Is this safe to touch?

Let’s keep it 100. This launch is not for the faint of heart. It’s chaotic, it’s fast, and it’s full of risks.

Sniper bots dominate early. FDV opened high and could swing wildly. Base App is still warming up, if it crashes under load, game over.

No clear supply data or long-term utility (yet). Tons of fake contracts floating around. This ain’t a fair launch. It’s not even a clean one.

But Jesse isn’t hiding behind a dev wallet or VC fund. He’s out front, with his name on the line, using his real ENS, and testing in the open.

And I respect that!

Wall Street Isn’t Warning You, But This Chart Might

Vanguard just projected public markets may return only 5% annually over the next decade. In a 2024 report, Goldman Sachs forecasted the S&P 500 may return just 3% annually for the same time frame—stats that put current valuations in the 7th percentile of history.

Translation? The gains we’ve seen over the past few years might not continue for quite a while.

Meanwhile, another asset class—almost entirely uncorrelated to the S&P 500 historically—has overall outpaced it for decades (1995-2024), according to Masterworks data.

Masterworks lets everyday investors invest in shares of multimillion-dollar artworks by legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.

And they’re not just buying. They’re exiting—with net annualized returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5% among their 23 sales.*

Wall Street won’t talk about this. But the wealthy already are. Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but…
