Been tracking why crypto projects fail since 2024 and honestly, the pattern surprised me.
At first I thought it would be the usual stuff. Bad tech, rugs, weak tokenomics, no community.
But after watching hundreds of projects disappear, the real reason looks much simpler.
Nobody can find them when it actually matters.
Spoke to someone connected to an exchange and their first step is not reading the whitepaper. They Google the project.
If credible outlets show up, it moves forward.
If it is just Reddit threads and Medium blogs, it often gets filtered out fast.
And once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
I watched one solid DeFi project burn nearly 180k on influencers and community building. Tons of impressions, huge Telegram… but zero real press. When VCs and exchanges did their homework, there was nothing credible to anchor trust.
Project faded within months.
Then I saw the opposite. Similar tech, smaller budget, but they prioritized press early. Got picked up by major outlets, built search credibility first, then layered marketing on top.
Listing approved. Funding followed. Still alive.
Kind of wild when you think about it. Influencer posts last a day. Search credibility sticks around.
Made me realize something as an investor too before touching a new token, just Google it. Hit the news tab.
If serious coverage shows up, they at least understand perception and trust.
If it is all noise and no signal, that tells you something.
Starting to feel like survival in this space is not just about building it is about being discoverable when the people with capital come looking.
Curious if others have noticed this, or if I am connecting dots that are not really there.
🚨 Something Crazy Happening 😂 - $16.4 Million for a Pokémon Card
Breaking: Popular Youtuber "Logan Paul", sold his pikachu card for $16,492,000.
He bought the Pikachu card for $5.3M in 2022, later on, fractionalized 51% of it on Liquidmarket for $2.6M.
Several months later, he bought back the shares for $250K after Liquidmarket went down.
Today, he auction and sold the same card for $16.4million.
Crazy right, imagine buying a Pokémon card for this whooping amount? Another premium tears loading.

@fogo is making waves as a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain built for high-performance trading. Its Firedancer architecture ensures ultra-low latency, near-instant finality, and massive scalability. The chain integrates a curated validator set, native price feeds, an enshrined DEX, and colocated liquidity providers to create a seamless trading experience. Recent updates highlight continued network optimization and ecosystem growth, driving adoption among professional traders. With a market cap around $91M and circulating supply of 3.77B FOGO, the project is steadily gaining traction. Fogo is shaping itself as a benchmark for speed, efficiency, and reliable blockchain infrastructure.

Fogo is built around a simple idea: if most onchain activity revolves around trading, then the base layer should reflect that reality. Instead of positioning itself as a general-purpose blockchain that happens to support markets, Fogo is designed from the ground up as a high-performance Layer 1 centered on the Solana Virtual Machine.
What stands out is how execution is treated as a core problem to solve, not a background feature. Fogo uses an SVM-compatible environment, which means developers familiar with Solana tooling can build without rewriting their logic. But the difference lies in architecture. The network leans toward a Firedancer-style client approach, focusing on consistent throughput and lower variance under load. Think of it as widening a highway before traffic builds up, rather than reacting after congestion appears.
Another defining feature is its built-in orientation toward order book integration. Instead of pushing all market structure to application level, Fogo acknowledges that matching engines and liquidity coordination influence how blocks should be processed. That shapes validator design, transaction ordering, and performance tuning.
Of course, the space is competitive. Several SVM-based chains are racing toward similar efficiency goals, and validator decentralization remains a long-term challenge for any high-speed network. Ecosystem maturity will take time.
Still, watching @fogo develop around $FOGO and #Fogo reveals a focused attempt to refine execution itself. In a crowded field, that restraint feels deliberate.

For a full decade, stablecoin accessibility was restricted exclusively to cryptocurrency exchanges. That landscape has fundamentally changed, as these assets are now integrated into mainstream platforms like Revolut, Nubank, and PayPal. This expansion covers 160 countries and 500K businesses, tapping into massive user bases of 127M and 65M customers respectively. With the challenge of distribution largely behind us, the focus now shifts to settlement.
