Whatâs up everybody, itâs Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly where we will be entering the trenches this week and trying to make sense of them. You canât avoid it, the memecoin warfare is in the trenches. Join us anon and letâs figure this out.
First a shoutout to the Drip.Haus users for tuning in, and shout out to Papa Bearded for the recent note. Letâs grow a beard and hit the trenches harder than ever hit before. Now a quick note to everyone on Drip.Haus, Iâve airdopped you some coins. I used airship. Go to airship.helius.dev and go to âview your compressed tokens.â
I got the Cali tokens for mentioning them on the show, so quick shout out to them.
Also a quick sponsor note, I want to give a shout out to the Solana Wall team. They have a presale going on right now and you can join in at solwall_token.
Solana is at $155.30 -
SolEth - .0592 - up endlessly and will continue until a Vitalik blog is readable.
SolBTC - .00228 -
BONK - sitting at .00002423, 2.25 billion market cap and pumping. Loving the energy of the Bonkers on Twitter and they just got their ETP passed and it already has over $48 million dollars worth purchased.
Overall the market is pumping and we are setup for some fireworks. Weâre seeing those fireworks happen mostly on memecoins and we are going to dig right in.
Murad - Weâve got ourselves a memecoin Jesus and he actually makes a lot of sense.
Memecoins are not a vampire attack against crypto tech. They are a vampire attack against crypto tech tokens.
4 types of coins BTC - store of value, stable coins, coins that produce revenues that produce cash flows, tokenized mini religions.
Pumpfun - where tokens get launched, once they hit 50 or 60k, they get released and graduate to raydium.
Moonshot - newer token launcher, similar but seems to have some rewarding for the top holders of a coin with Airlock.
The software stack: Telegram, telegram bots, group chats.
Bonkbot - great bot, interacts directly with contracts and super user friendly. Also going non custodial.
Bullx - telegram bot also, but connects to a webpage that you can see graphs, set limit orders and research really clearly. This has been my favorite.
MEV - bonkbot does this automatically and jupiter does, but Bullx you need to turn this on.
Chart by market cap - we donât look at the token price anymore, itâs all by the market cap. Graduates from pump.fun at 50k, itâs going to 100k, I guess itâs science.
These coins act like leverage.
That momentum can shift in an instant.
Knowledge part is the hardest for me.
Anyways, letâs see where this is going, find some cult tokens and take a stab. They are all super risky, so have some bankroll management, none of this is financial advice, and have some fun. Donât get caught up in the gamble.
Iâve been thinking a lot after my last interview with Daria and I want more! That was a lot of fun, got out of my comfort zone and learned a lot from it. If you have any interest in joining, reach out at [email protected] or shoot me a dm. Iâve started reaching out to a few different protocols/ people that I think are awesome in the space and want to keep it going. Iâve upped the marketing efforts from 0 to 1, so let me know if you like this direction and if it starts sucking let me know. I opened an instagram account, a tiktok account (still donât know how that works) and I started a telegram channel t.me/solanaweekly where Iâll be posting some of my research and shownotes.
Thank you all for joining in, this is Thomas Bahamas wishing you another great week.

Whatâs up everybody, itâs Thomas Bahamas and welcome back to another episode of Solana Weekly, where we break down the latest moves in Solana and figure out where we are going.
⢠Solana (SOL): $143 â The pump is real.
⢠SOLETH: 0.058â Slight movement upward.
⢠SOLBTC: 0.00225
Macro Take: The recent 50 basis point rate cut from the Fed caught the markets by surprise and launched a serious rally. Everyone expected 25 points, but the 50-point cut is pumping risk assets hard. The markets seem lined up for a big pump, especially with Bonk and the explosion of meme coins on Solana making headlines.
Letâs talk Bonk. If you didnât believe in Bonk, you might want to reconsider. Itâs been perfectly primed for this moment.
Seems like a ton of big protocols have raised money recently.
Big Update: The Solana Phone, the Seeker, is here!
Phantom usernames are released., but this must be an attempt to keep users on their wallet.
Breakpoint 2024 is heating up.
Magic Eden teasing their airdrop again, get over yourselves and drop the damn token.
I locked up some funds on Adrena, which is a new derivatives protocol coming out soon.
AI - nothing completed, potential is unreal.
Ordlibrary on Twitter to see all the things heâs been building.

What's up everybody, it's Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly where we break down the last week and figure out where we are heading.
Solana: $135.88
SOLETH: 0.0577 - relatively flat.
SOLBTC: 0.002335 - relatively flat.
Overall take on the market: Chopping continues with every breakout being dumped and ever dump getting bid.
Updates:
Defi hearing in congress - shout out to Peter Valkenburgh (valkenburgh on twitter.)
AI is finally making its grand entrance into the Solana ecosystem, and it's a game-changer.
It's getting close to Breakpoint season, and the hype is building.
Looks like ISC is doing some fun quests and getting some well deserved press. The international stable coin, Iâve brought this up on a few different pods, but is a fascinating development and is the only functional flatcoin.
Other than that Iâve been reading the Almanack of Naval Ravikant again and man it is worth a read if you havenât heard of it.

What's up everybody, it's Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly where we break down the last week and predict the future.
Solana: 133.40 and We're down $10 from last week and I'm hoping we're turning this ship around.
SOLETH: .054 Down just a tiny bit from last week.
SOLBTC: .0022 - down a good chunk, we're seeing daddy bitcoin do his thing and not move as much as the rest of the market.
Overall take on the market: Down bad, but not down too bad but a great spot for adding on.
Updates:
Jupiter just released that they are giving out all the unclaimed Jup as ASR which is active staking rewards. This is something like $162 million dollars.
Another play I'm interested in is Tensorians.
The manly urge to buy a Madlad is real.
NFA part. So where does that lead us? Where do we make money? The conservative answer is undervalued coins that have a bright future.
Just saw the legend Zachxbt post that Jason Derulo just posted another scam coin on Tron and itâs just sad.
Itâs Korean Blockchain Week and seems like the events are pumpin leading into Breakpoint in a couple weeks. Hope we get to enjoy a solid pump leading into it and will catch you all next week!

What's up everybody, it's Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly where we break down the last week and predict the future.
Solana: 142.98: It's over. Kidding, it's up $2.50 on the week.
SOLETH: .05679 - up from .053, Solana holding stronger than Eth here is interesting, Eth is just not catching a bid.
SOLBTC: .0024246 - up a bit from .00235, we need more up.
Overall take on the market: It's still chopping around. End of summer, moving into September should set off some fireworks.
Robinhood is back baby!
PayPal yields seem like they are dropping - down to 13%.
We are ticking closer to the Magic Eden diamond airdrop!
Memecoins seem to be slowing down in the growth, pump.fun is showing a lot less volume for new coins
The SEC has issued a Wells notice to Opensea for distributing illegal securities, so weâll see how that goes.
Telegram drama: Ton blockchain down, founder jailed.
Breakpoint is still coming up and weâre getting pumped, Quekz party is set, MonkeDao party is set.
I had a call with a fantastic DevRel from the NEON protocol Daria and will be putting that together in the next week to release. The TLDR is that sheâs great, and I donât know anything about how this stuff works haha.
Thank you all for joining in, Iâll catch you next week.

What's up everybody, it's Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly where I break down the last week and make wild guesses at where we are going.
Solana: 140.40- down a bit.
SOLETH: .05388 - down a bit.
SOLBTC - .00235 - down a bit.
Overall take is choppy with Sol not quite holding it's own this week.
Unsure what the meta is at this point.
My prediction for what happens is that we are going to see majors fly with the increased liquidity from the fed cutting rates, this will also send the memecoins and select nft's will probably moon.
I think when it comes to NFT's I will continue to talk about the Quekz because I'm most comfortable with where they sit and the team behind it.

What's up everybody, it's Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly where we break down the last week and make 100% accurate predictions for where we are going. This is not financial advice, but I'm calling this the part of the cycle where we get bidding.
Solana - $146.90 - flat on the week, kind of lame, but better than down.
SOLETH - .05536 - down a bit from .06189, we'll be back.
SOLBTC - .0024685 - down a bit from .00264.
SOL.D - 3.33
Pump fun revenue continues - beating out Eth revenue again, generating insane amounts of revenue.
Meme coin saturation?
NFT's catch a bid.
Degods - the ultimate cult.
Crypto - the ultimate asset class?
Trump and Elon did a spaces and they didn't talk crypto at all, so it was worthless.
L2's seem to be coming to Solana whether we like it or not.
One month countdown to breakpoint and seems like easy money to long sol into breakpoint.
Quekz will be throwing a party, SMB's will be throwing a party, everyone somehow is willing to fly across the globe to join in.
Coinbase to release cbBTC which will likely be a better version of wrapped Bitcoin.
