Liquidium, $STARSHIP, & SBR News: Friday’s Space Recapped

Another Friday, another absolute banger of a Space!

This week, we had James from Liquidium joining us to dive deep into what the lending platform is all about, what’s coming up (including their new Instant Loan feature,) who they’re collaborating with, and some alpha on what’s in store for the $LIQ token.

Plus, we got the lowdown on James’ new token, $STARSHIP, and why you should be paying attention!

James is the epitome of a true Web3 builder, prioritizing execution and delivering for his community above all else. As he rightly alluded to during our discussion, when you build with intent, price follows as a natural byproduct.

We have no doubt he’ll succeed, and we’re excited to see how everything he’s working on unfolds!

Of course, we also had to break down the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve news that dropped Thursday night. The panel was unanimous: the news is solid, and the FUD is completely misplaced.

Landy, live from Washington, gave his usual top-tier market analysis, breaking down what’s happening, key levels to watch, and the broader implications of the SBR move.

If you missed it, you can listen to the recording in the post linked below, which also features additional insights from Null, who joined us for the second week running.

In our opinion, this was the best Space we’ve hosted so far. They just keep getting better, make sure you catch the next one!

And now, here’s a quick round up of the weeks headlines:

Monday: The Vibes Are Coming Back

Market sentiment flipped overnight as President Trump announced the creation of a U.S. Strategic Crypto Reserve. Initially, Bitcoin and Ethereum were excluded—before later being confirmed as part of the reserve.

The news sparked a massive rally, with Bitcoin surging nearly 8%, and altcoins like Cardano, Solana, and XRP posting major gains. Speculation grew as Trump teased another major investment announcement, fueling even more bullish momentum.

Tuesday: Yesterday's Vibes Aged Like Milk Left Out In The Sun...

The excitement from Trump's crypto reserve announcement was short-lived. His next big investment move had nothing to do with crypto, triggering a full retrace of recent gains. Market sentiment worsened further due to macroeconomic concerns, including new tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

However, with key regulatory and policy events on the horizon—such as the March 7 White House Crypto Summit—bullish sentiment was expected to return.

Wednesday: OdinFun’s Ascent: Are You Paying Attention?

OdinFun has rapidly become a major player in the Bitcoin Runes ecosystem, surpassing 1,000 BTC in volume and drawing in thousands of new users. The platform is bridging the gap between Western Runes traders and Eastern BRC-20 enthusiasts, potentially uniting two historically divided communities.

However, after days of hype, many tokens are now experiencing a sharp cool-off period. Still, this is far from the last we’ll see of OdinFun, and traders are watching closely for the next major token breakout.

Thursday: Can Bitcoin Really End War?

We explored a fascinating debate: Could Bitcoin actually end war? Proponents argue that Bitcoin’s fixed supply and resistance to confiscation could limit governments' ability to print money for military campaigns—making large-scale conflicts less viable.

Critics, however, point out that war isn’t just about money; it’s also about power, ideology, and human nature. While Bitcoin alone may not end war, it could shift global incentives toward peace over time.

Friday: The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: The Good, The Bad & The Uncertain

Trump officially signed an Executive Order establishing a U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, stocked with 200,000 BTC seized from criminal activity and prohibited from being sold. While this initially seemed bullish, the lack of a clear commitment to actively buy more Bitcoin led to market disappointment and a brief sell-off.

However, with room for future accumulation and the broader policy implications still playing out, long-term sentiment remains cautiously optimistic.

Catch up with Landy in yesterday’s Friday Wrap-Up:

Ordinals

As predicted in yesterday’s issue, Idiots finally minted out late last night and have been doing very well on secondary since. Although up almost 50% since yesterday, the floor was nearly double what it currently stands at now.

Is this the turning point for Ordinals mints? If this week taught us anything, it’s that the community appreciates effort and perseverance. Two shining examples from opposite ends of the spectrum in the past week:

• Idiots kept posting, engaging with socials, having fun with both supporters and fudders, and didn’t give up.

• Ponzis… well, what happened there? The call when they were $3 in Issue #138 is not looking so hot right now, with the social account stone cold quiet and a messy mint experience that was hard to recover from.

Time will tell where both go from here, but it was certainly an interesting case study of two hyped mints with starkly different approaches and results.

Elsewhere, it’s a bit of a down day, with nothing really standing out. But solid bases continue forming across all collections featured.

In particular, the floors for OMB, Bitcoin Puppets and NodeMonkes are now sitting pretty close together. Which one breaks out first, and when?

Runes (Bitcoin Memecoins)

A catastrophic few days for bagholders on OdinFun, with $SPARKS and SuperEX not even making today’s top 5, sitting at $590K and $297K market caps respectively—just out of frame.

Meanwhile, $BITCAT continues to be entirely unbothered by the pullbacks, up 4%, while GhostNode moves into the top 5 for the first time in a while with a 20% gain.

$DOG and $MIM put in a solid showing, potentially due to the Binance listing revamp news.

Maybe some are identifying them as the top two Runes (rightfully) and trying to front-run a listing—an age-old tactic many of us have used for the past 11 months. This time will surely be different! (No really, it might be.)

$BILLY takes a hard hit, tumbling below $10M market cap for the first time in recent memory.

Astonishingly, $PUPS only managed 9th place today, with just $1.46K in recorded volume. Obviously, Solana volume and other DEX trading aren’t included in these stats, but still—wow.

$BRO has dropped over 50% since earlier this week, but as we’ve seen time and time again, violent swings upwards are just as likely—a pattern we saw recently with $CYPHER, which lands in 7th today.
