Yesterday's Vibes Aged Like Milk Left Out In The Sun…

Yesterday’s edition signed off with a warning: if Trump’s investment announcement had nothing to do with crypto, we could see a panic-selling frenzy. Well… it wasn’t about crypto, and yes, we’ve once again seen a wave of sell-offs—not just because of that, but also due to growing concerns over macro conditions, including tariffs on Mexico and Canada that officially go into effect today.

A full retrace of the pump. What even is this bull run? Seriously.

But before you close your browser in despair, there’s still plenty to look forward to this month, and these key events could very well shift sentiment once again:

• March 6 – CFTC forum on tokenized assets and stablecoins

• March 7 – White House Crypto Summit with Donald Trump

• March 10-14 – Senate Banking Committee votes on the stablecoin bill

• March 21 – SEC’s first crypto roundtable

A lot of uncertainty remains, but if there’s one thing we know, it’s that the market loves to overreact in both directions. Today’s doom and gloom could just as easily turn into euphoria within a week if any of these events go well.

For now, since trading in this chop fest is basically a death sentence (unless you’re a) an expert or b) are not one, and love getting absolutely blasted from both ends), it’s a great time to start scouting upcoming Ordinals mints and early projects.

Some gems are bound to emerge from this chaos:

The timeline, only 24 hours after calls for an “up-only” season, is now filled with bears talking about recessions and no bull run until next year:

What if they’re right? Well, you might be sticking around longer than expected, dear XO Daily reader. But remember, the cycle and historical data are still very much on our side.

And above all—Bitcoin loves you. It’ll all be okay in the end, as long as you stick around to see it through. Allow Landy to explain in his latest Macro Monday video from last night.

Just don’t be doing anything crazy in the meantime! Survive.

Daily Bites: Today’s Top Articles

Ordinals

Lots of red on the board today, but while it might look alarming at first glance, the reality isn’t quite as bad—most prices are hovering around the same levels they were just a few days ago. It’s been a series of false starts and stalls, reflecting broader market uncertainty and the overall sentiment right now.

NodeMonkes and Bitcoin Puppets are holding above 0.04 BTC, while Quantum Cats maintain their 0.2 BTC floor, which has only dipped below a couple of times. Meanwhile, OMB has seen a large drop in volume compared to yesterday but remains comfortably above 0.03 BTC.

OnChainMonkey is back in the top five. It’s proving to be one of the more consistent collections, rarely dropping out of the top ten lately.

Now, onto Ponzis. The behavior surrounding its secondary market has been nothing short of embarrassing, and that’s not a criticism of the collection itself, but rather of the “traders” flipping for the price of half a sandwich.

Ponzis minted yesterday, and the first two phases of the mint struggled. However, a later announcement promising each minter six additional airdropped Ponzis helped push it to a sellout.

Free mints can either be extremely successful, or can end up like…..well, this. Minters are now offloading their extras for next to no profit—barely covering platform fees and transaction costs. Why would anyone do this? There are no answers.

With the floor sitting at $3.18, there could be an opportunity here for a low-risk bet in case these take off. The risk-reward ratio looks decent.

In other news, Idiots will mint later today. Let’s see how they fare.

Runes (Bitcoin Memecoins)

Much like everything else in the known universe, Runes took a hit yesterday—except for $RSIC, which is up 17%, and $TARD, the self-proclaimed “sub-60 IQ movement on Bitcoin Runes.” Maybe the perfect Rune for those $2 Ponzi traders?

Despite the red across the board, again like Ordinals, things aren’t as bleak as they seem. In fact, many Runes are still trading higher than they were several days ago, meaning the overall market structure remains intact.

Over on OdinFun, it’s almost like a protected bubble, untouched by the broader sell-off. All of the top five projects are up in the past 24 hours, with $BITCAT leading the charge—up 346%!

The battle for 2nd place continues to be an intense one, with $SPARKS and OdinCat constantly neck and neck. It’ll be interesting to see which one breaks out first and asserts its dominance.

And in a surprising twist—Satoshi on OdinFun is now just $450K in market cap away from flipping the OG Satoshi (Rune 6).

If you’re holding Satoshi, is it time to pivot... to Satoshi?
