The whole crypto space has become absolutely unprofessional in comparision how it appeared in the years 2019 - 2021 and this behaviour also reflects in Dom, the founder of ICP.

What was recent X-post all about?
A head hunt to find the company behind fudder influencers?

Dom wrote he would reward 7500 ICP if someone has information about the company behind that FUD.

In my view, this is extremely unprofessional behavior and reflects the demeanor of what the X space has become since Elon Musk took over twitter. A space driven by influencers that get paid to push agenda whover pays them and above all, the one that benefits the X-platform owner the most. Dom's head hunt post was actually what made me insecure and made dfinity look scammy and NOT the fudder tweets itself. Who is he? Does he think he is a western sheriff going for a headhunt?
Unexcuseable and unprofessional behaviour. But it's not only him, it's the whole crypto space...

In conclusion i think it's a bit silly of Dom to only advertise Internet Computer on X and then complain about cartel-like practices. He chooses to only advertise on the most centralized platform that has an algorithm driven by money, polemic and fascist agenda.

Sorry for venting a bit here. But that’s how I see things, and I’m sure many of you feel the same way. Besides, I think Internet Computer is about more than just Dom. The world’s best cryptographers work for Dfinity, and the system is brilliant, even if the CEO sometimes comes across as unprofessional, equally unprofessional to most crypto-CEOs and people on X in general.

----------------------
For all the people who say you need X for exposure:
Here are the view counts for a recent post of mine on Reddit (yesterday).
These are view counts that TalkingDom can only dream of on the suppressed X-platform:

In the crypto space there are approximately one billion of memecoins, which are just smart contracts. These smart contracts hopelessly diluted the market and it's time to call them fake-crypto. Cause that's all they are. They give power to a central entity to scam you. So it cannot be considered crypto, cause real crypto is permissionless, trustless, and decentralized.
Memcoins are NEVER trustless: We have all seen what happens, when a central entity, such as Trump, Melania, Hogan, Milei, gets trusted...

But there is one so-called memecoin, that is not a smart contract.
It's a "blockchain", called dogecoin.

Be careful: Dogecoin was ment to be a joke.
It's the worst blockchain ever created.
The creator abandoned his joke project a long time ago.

Dogecoin creates 14.4 million dogecoin EVERY DAY.
That's no joke!
Dogecoin goes to zero and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.

It would have happened a long time ago without the sadistic trillionaire ghoul, who endorsed it, cause he wanted to create damage to decentralization. Space karen endorsed the worst blockchain to create max damage to crypto and to get people burned. He loves that shit.

Edit: Was a fun conversation. We made it up to 7 likes. But i guess in some hours my post will be downvoted to a minus value, cause all the space karen fans are coming in and need to hold the pp of the centralized trillionaire.

Cycle burn rate increased for real in the last 5 mins and is accurately displayed on 1 month chart.
3 month chart needs to be fixed to have the displayed value drawn as the last value on the chart.

We have gotten used to these low prices and as soon as prices reach range top of accumulation we act like "uh, that price is so high", better wait with buying.

But you have to realize that there is no fomo buy in accumulation range. At one point this thing will just keep going and going and it's not coming back. You wait and wait. Fugger is not coming down and then everyone realizes that we are in a bullmarket and then you buy 3 to 4x higher.

Looking back you will feel silly, that you thought you make a fomo buy in accumulation range. All the buys that seemed high at that time will look like a flat line compared to the mountain that has just grown out of it.

So take that lesson.
Don't be greedy in accumulation range.

We are in the final phase of the bear market.

It is characterized by extremely subdued sentiment. Everywhere on social media, you read about people giving up on their coins and abandoning their dreams.

Although many realized at the start of 2026 that the bear market would likely end in October 2026, many are now giving up just two months beforehand.

That is exactly what makes crypto so difficult. Not giving up now must be the priority. While many were counting on an altcoin season in 2025 when the odds actually looked very poor, many are now quitting, even though this is the ideal time NOT to give up. This is the exhausting phase. This is it!

HODL and DCA.

Better times will come soon.

As the title suggests, if you put money into a memecoin, you endorse fake-crypto.

If you buy a memecoin, you are actually against crypto.

If you buy a memecoin you endorse centralized control and you are a dimwit.

If you buy a memecoin, you destroy our lovely crypto cycles.

Edit: Great discussion guys! I hope people get a different picture of the damaging nature of memecoins. You can gamble them, no problem. But never endorse them.

Stick with crypto and fuck memecoins (fake-crypto). Wagmi!

Edit-Edit: This post already had 25 likes. It's a bummer that it got downvoted to zero by some donuts. But that's alright. We get there. Eventually.

Last month we had our first community engagement test ("Hello ICP crew") to measure how fast the ICP community grows on reddit.

Here are the stats of last month:

• The post received 32 likes.
• The post received 26 greetings.

Round 2 in August:
I decided to change the title from [Hello ICP crew] to ["Hello World" computer crew].

Let's see if we can increase likes and greetings this round.
Drop a "Hello World" in the replies or whatever greeting you prefer.

Let's witness the ICP community mushrooming!

Anyone remembers the October 2025 price crash? Altcoins got slashed when Trump announced 100% tariffs on china and one of the biggest victims was ICP with a -75% dump to 1.1$ on Binance. Since then this dump wick haunts me, cause usually dump wicks get filled after relief bouncing. Now we are almost there, but if we go to 1$ to fill the dump wick it would still be terrible...
(Read on)

BUT:
If you compare the ICP charts with other main exchanges you will recognize that at most exchanges the dump only went to 2$ with some to 1.9$. Nowhere near as extreme as what happened on Binance. (e.g. compare to coinbase)

This made me realize (again) that Binance is actually one of the most manipulating and perped up exchanges and that the ICP bottom at 2$ might be already in.

I think it is good that Binance messed up becoming mica compliant and as a consequence lost their whole european customer base, which i see beneficial for the future of crypto with less price manipulation.

Last but not least:
Looking at the monthly candle chart of the entire chart history of ICP makes us all feel like fools for investing in ICP. No question about it.

But it also draws the biggest bullish divergence i have ever seen in crypto.

I am getting hooked on Internet Identity:

1. No Seed Phrases
2. Complete Privacy
3. No Gas Barriers

Using Internet Identity on the Internet Computer (ICP) would have prevented the Coldcard hardware wallet vulnerability, because Internet Identity relies on device-bound passkeys instead of generated seed phrases.

If you are a crypto nerd like me and you are looking for the flow state (a mental condition of complete immersion), which was missing in traditional crypto procedures, you are going to love Internet Identity on Internet Computer Protocol. That's exactly what crypto was missing.
It's a game changer.

Internet Identity increases security by eliminating traditional passwords, isolating app data, and using hardware-level cryptography.

If you are new to ICP start out with research about Internet Computer Prototocol (ICP) first and get familiar with everything. Learn about the decentralized Network Nervous System (NNS). Use an AI of your choice to help you with your research about ICP. Ask AI critical questions and everything that bothers you. If you are new, take several days for research. No need to hurry.

Once you feel ready, start to make research about Internet Identity on ICP.
Follow the same procedure and take your time. Ask AI critical questions until you are comfortable and knowledgeable about Internet Identity.

Most important of all: Before you create your internet identity, make sure you know everything about recovery options of your account and after creating your identity, set these recovery options up immediately. Don't postpone these steps and do it with a clear mind.

When you create your identity, i highly recommend to use Web3-native authentication and avoid the optional Web2 auth (google, microsoft, apple, etc), because Web3 provides cryptographic privacy and prevents cross-app tracking. AGAIN: Don't use Web2 auth if your accounts (google, microsoft, apple) are not at max safety. Fix them to max safety but don't use them for login. Simple. Go for Web3-native authentication. No need to associate an email/account with login.

Once everything is in place, you can relax and you will experience the first time in your crypto life the flow state.

99% of layer-1 blockchain Q&A:

Q: What is the usecase of layer-1 blockchains?

A: Layer-1 blockchains are designed for near-instant transaction finality and low-cost scalability, making it ideal for Decentralized Finance (DeFi).

Q: What is the usecase of Decentralized Finance?

A: To trade the shit we just created.

And voila, there is your use case. :)

Jokes aside...

Name potential blockchain networks that you genuinely believe have a use case and explain your answer. (try to avoid giving as single reason my Q&A example.)

Anyone remembers BAT?

Just saw that BAT pushed below all time low. I haven't given BAT much attention the last years, cause i deactivated displaying ads, but brave remains my browser of choice since 2019.

In the beginning i used to collect BAT, but at some point they changed the integrated wallet or something and i couldn't access my collected BAT any longer and lost motivation, so i deactivated ads.

Otherwise, i always thought, that the concept of BAT was reasonable and i was shocked to see BAT at such low prices.

Are you going to get some?

Would be nice if altcoins could hold a range for a while and just go sideways to give some confidence in the market. The last 2 years was like, can't go up, needs to dump. That's exhausting.

Can altcoins give us a some store of value by going sideways, please?

ICP entered the downtrend channel on June 2021 at 75$ and never left it since then.

The next cycle ICP had 3 attempts to break out:

1. March 2024 at 20$
2. December 2024 at 15$.
3. Nov 2025 at 10$.

1,2,3 got rejected and since then we accumulate with increasing pressure. The pressure of 6 years is building up massively. I always like, if something happens 3 times, cause very often in crypto trading after 3 times things take another turn. 3 times rejection could lead to a break out in the 4th attempt, which then will be the new Nr 1.

If a breakout happens, the push upwards will be massive. 6 years of built up pressure is no joke. You wouldn't want to miss that. This could become one of the craziest breakouts crypto has ever seen. Depending on the date the breakout could happen as early as October 2026 at 6$ or in August 2027 at 4$, and so on, depending when it happens, since ICP is in a downtrend channel, which is actually bullish once the breakout happens.

After such a long accumulation period, the chart could easily reach 30$, but bullish targets can go to 200$ and beyond. Just measure the fib extensions and see for yourself.

Now is the time to wait until the magic happens.
It's going to be a wild ride.

I hope the ICP community grows fast.

If you read this, drop a "hello" (or whatever greeting you prefer) in the comments and let's see how many greetings we get in the depths of the bearmarket.

We can repeat the test in a month or so.

The ICP channel features facts and numbers. That's cool, but may be a bit dry for some newcomers. That's why i think it's good that we have Jerry Banfield in the boat.

Sure, Jerry might be a bit polarizing for some people and many label him an influencer idiot or consider him bonkers, but i personally think, he brings in the necessary drama to an otherwise dry community.

He has balls for commiting heavily into ICP and the coming cycle will be a make or break moment for Jerry and for many of us too. He puts himself out there, with his personal life story, as the crypto narrative gets written.

The story, the drama, the Jerry.

Let's go Jerry!

Why we need to focus on tech again:

Cause in tech there is no dilution.

There are only a handful of altcoins, whos blockchain can pull off serious tech. E.g. SUI, ICP, TAO, etc.

I would even say, all the goat blockchains are alright and there is enough liquidity for everyone.

Just consider how much liquidity we wasted on pushing new people into memecoin scams:

e.g. Trump, Melania, Wif, Bonk, Mother, Turbo, Pepe, Wojak, Pengu, Fartboi, etc. (all centralized memecoin scams)

The list of fake-crypto (memecoins) is never ending and it cost us credibility and only enriched the already rich. Memecoins are the most anti crypto thing imagineable and can be seen like a destructive virus. I go that far to say elon musk endorsed dogecoin to start a destructive virus for crypto, cause he wanted to destroy what he cannot own.

If our narrative goes back to serious tech, all problems of dilution are solved in an instant. You cannot dilute something of value and what is hard to create.

That's why we all need to work together and push the narrative of tech.

Wagmi.

Long live blockchain tech. 💎

Holding of blockchain altcoins (the main and goated ones) still doesn't feel easy, but i come into a phase, where i feel i can hold them again.

Somehow my rythm always tells me when it's time to hold and it mostly differs from the typical sentiment.

They say crypto is dead and a lot of these people are not into crypto, but came in through fake crypto -> memecoins. Of course these people are clueless and they think just because they entered during the memecoin frenzy, they think they have figured it all out. But actually they were never crypto to begin with.

Best time to hodl blockchain altcoins.

And as always:

Fuck memecoins!

Fuck Trump!

(mods are going to delete this post, so better like it fast :)

Would be cool if someone with more influence could bring Dominic on a reddit AMA.

From experience AMAs can totally catch attention and it brings in many people. It's also cool for people that arrive later on to read through all the questions people have asked.

Upvote like crazy if you agree.

Please give me some nice points why you are bullish on SUI and why you think this is one of the best bets for the upcoming altcoin season.

Drop your favourite goat blockchain currency.

No fucking memecoins allowed in this discussion.

Btw, fuck Trump, the dirty ass orange loompa!
