Social trading will make onchain mainstream, and make random traders in your Telegram group famous.
Next time everyone says crypto is dead, remember you're close to the bottom.
Since my first post, when everyone declared crypto was going to zero, we've seen a huge onchain activity spike with FOMO. What changed?
Solana proposals going through. Robinhood taking onchain seriously. Uniswap, Jupiter and Pump Fun fighting hard for their stake. Less Hyperliquid, prediction markets everywhere. Feels like a major onchain bottom.
But the most impactful thing of all is social trading taking over by storm, and the massive retail onboarding FOMO is driving within youth culture.
Social trading is the biggest catalyst onchain will see for a while, and the largest long term retail onboarding event of all time. It's the perfect blend of finance and social media. I strongly believe the numbers explode over the next 12 months, and with them an explosion in individual traders and fnfs.
FOMO won't be the only competitor. But these spikes in volume and users are what's coming for onchain, and it was always meant to be a social game. Just like any MMO, the social part is usually the most significant.
We don't know which platform people actually use a year from now. There may be several competing, like FB, IG, TikTok and X now.
But I do know social trading is the next big thing.
Fnfs and high level social trading groups are the next esports organizations. Individual traders are the next stars.
Games emulated life to keep us motivated. Now we play life as a game, and the currency is money. Nothing is more dopamine driven than that. And nothing is cooler than making infinite money out of thin air, without having to make a product or a brand or even get off your phone.
Like Fortnite making Clix and Peterbot stars, except now the metric of this new game that's becoming popular is actually a metric that men respect and women desire.
Everyone knows the gamer joke of trying to pull a girl with your rank in the game, but what if your rank in the game was actually real money?
Young men will be finally be able to play a social dopamine-driven game but also stay ahead in life, build a personal brand and pool a resource that secures their families future, wife quality and freedom from modern slavery.
This time it's directly instead of indirectly through content or tournament winnings. In this game, when you win everyone knows and your payment is direct. Pure hard cash.
The greatest game in the world will soon be the biggest.
Every micro niche becomes mainstream eventually.
