Onchain Sarcasm #48 - Super September

5 days ago

Welcome to Onchain Saturday... where the screenshots that didn’t make the cut finally see daylight.

You probably know by now that I keep a draft folder where I dump all my screenshots. It’s like a waiting room, where they sit until I’ve got enough context to turn them into a proper article.

The problem is… some of them are stuck in there forever. That random meme about the Ibiza Final Boss? The weird yield screenshot that makes no sense in any bigger narrative? Yeah, they just rot there.

That’s exactly why Sarcasm Saturday exists! It's a place to unleash all the random degen stuff that doesn’t belong anywhere else, but still deserves a laugh. Some are even funnier than that time when I sold 6.7 BTC in 2015! Still hurts!

Happy Sarcasm Saturday! Your invited to the purge of my draft folder’s weirdest residents. Are you ready for the bull run? Because apparently I need a doctor’s note for it. My sanity is disputed!

Went to see the doc, and he looked at me and asked if this “bull run” was happening with us in the room. I said, “No, doc, it’s out there somewhere… probably memeing, probably degens screaming at charts, definitely not in my wallet yet.”

Some of these screenshots have been waiting forever! The stuff that made me laugh at 3 a.m. and then got lost in the draft abyss must be shared with other degens! Welcome to chaos, randomness, and the pure absurdity of crypto life.

Once upon a time, I got 50 $XION. Back then it was worth $300 each, and I could have cashed out and smiled all the way to the bank. But nope... I decided to stake instead. Fast forward a few months, and I’ve mined nearly three £XION.

Yields are good at 10% APR right? Not bad for just letting it sit and do its thing… especially when the price is down 80%. It’s one of those weird crypto moments where patience, a little risk, and stubbornness actually pay off.

Sure, the value isn’t what it once was, but stacking rewards while HODLing feels like quietly winning in the background. Moral of the story?Sometimes the “boring” play turns out to be the smart one. And yes, I’m still holding because who knows what the next bull run will bring?

If $XION was a massive L, let me tell you about a big W on Polymarket. I went for the underdog in the Romanian presidential election, and Nicușor Dan got the vote of the people! He pulled off the win against all odds.

My profit? A solid 3x on the investment. I didn't had more to put on my prediction, so $200.89 cleared my wallet. In only two weeks it turned into $627.80 so that's better than degen yield farming!

It’s funny how sometimes taking the risky, contrarian bet pays off. $XION may have been a lesson in patience and loss, but this one reminded me why I love prediction markets! It's the thrill of backing the unexpected and actually seeing it hit.

I've seen this weird flower while in Turkey so asked ChatGPT about it! The paradise bird flower looks like a bird because evolution shaped it to attract pollinators. I can see predators pouncing on it, thinking dinner is sorted!

Its bright orange and blue petals mimic bird plumage, and the beak-like structure acts as a perch for sunbirds, helping spread pollen. Nature made it both beautiful and functional.

The SuperStacks campaign was Optimism’s pilot program designed to boost cross-chain DeFi engagement across the Superchain ecosystem. Users earn Experience Points by providing liquidity in eligible pools on multiple OP Chains.

XP was tracked, giving users a way to engage, compete, and be recognized within the Superchain community. It was said that the experiment had no prizes, just a fun way to test and expand USDT0 usage! However, it had some rewards!

When the Superstack on the Superchain campaign concluded... no one expected prizes! The sarcasm of the campaign? Optional participation but the optimism was rewarded with Optimism! I've got 38.53 $OP for my hustle!

Created my own personal mindshare on Wallchain, and the results were strong! Are you on Wallchain Quacks? If not... DYOR and see if the rewards system in the Wallchain AttentionFi ecosystem is your cup of tea!

You earn points for creating valuable and engaging content on X. It uses AI to measure influence and impact, rewarding organic contributions while minimizing spam and bot activity. Users can track their Quacks points daily and earn recognition for supporting early-stage projects.

Too busy with chirps, yaps and snaps to focus on quacks as well... but slowly earning them along the way. There are some good campaigns to focus on if you have time!

Let's talk about hype in action! Di Michele in Napoli is a perfect example... the place is always packed. People line up just to get a slice or even to order takeout, and you need a waiting number while you patiently wait your turn.

The hype around Di Michele isn’t random, it’s steeped in history and reputation. They been serving pizza in Naples since 1870, over 150 years of pizza tradition. They stick to a very small menu, only four pizzas, focusing to build legendary quality.

It got global attention from books, shows, and films... making it a must-visit for tourists and locals alike. Eating there feels like a true Neapolitan experience... just iconic pizza crafted the same way for generations. TBH ... the pizza was legendary!
