Are We Back?!

It’s a fair question. The sentiment has definitely shifted. You can feel it.

We’ve gone from boredom, bears doomposting, and low-tier KOLs tweeting every three minutes about anything and everything just to farm engagement… to nothing but bullposting from all and sundry.

And the sea of green on CoinGecko is backing that up!

Historically this year, moments like this have been followed by a quick downturn. The bullposting has been a sad, miserable curse. I even saw someone post a screenshot of their wallet balance yesterday—ALREADY! A prime top signal.

It’s been 18 hours. Let’s chill, shill, and see how it plays out… but yeah, it’s looking good, no doubt about it.

And just like yesterday, a few updates in the Bitcoin ecosystem have emerged.

First up, Pups Bot officially launched late last night. It’s an advanced Runes trading bot made for OdinFun. If you’ve used BonkBot before, you’ll be soundly familiar with this.

Get started by following this link and inputting the code PUPS411U3W8G7N if prompted.

And that’s no real surprise; Farmer Joe, the $PUPS dev, gave a shoutout to Nom, a core contributor to the Bonk team. We’ve all seen what Bonk has done, both in terms of price and how it moved the space forward. Can Pups follow in their pawsteps?

And a bit earlier in the afternoon, the TRAC team dropped a big update that holders of TRAC Validator licenses will want to hear: HyperMall is officially launching on May 15.

If you’re not up to speed, TRAC Network is now its own L1, offering 1-second trading on Bitcoin. That would make it one of the fastest L1s out there.

As for validation on HyperMall, you’ll just need to connect the wallet you used to buy your license to begin validating in the app, according to Head of PR, Fitzy. More info is on the way soon.

Busy week, and it’s only Wednesday!

Runes will soon be coming to Slingshot!

Daily Bites: Today’s Top Articles

Todays Markets

Ordinals

NodeMonkes have edged ahead of Bitcoin Puppets ever so slightly, but that could easily flip again by the time this goes to publish.

More interesting than that though, both are two of the biggest gainers today with strong volume behind them. This looks like it’s part of a broader resurgence in confidence, with momentum building back in the market.

You’d be hard pressed to bet against this pairing continuing to lead from here.

Pizza Ninjas are up 8 percent and sitting in 8th. And a bit of a surprise here; the entire Rare Sats category pulling in almost a quarter of a Bitcoin in volume according to Magic Eden.

But it actually gets better. Someone swept a few off another platform for a total of over 0.6 BTC, and that didn’t even fully register on Magic Eden. That’s a great sign. When people are buying niche categories/rares of anything, it usually means money is coming back.

OG Runes

RUNES!! What a delight.

$BILLY is leading the revival up top 44.5% today, flirting with 20 sats again. And $CYPHER leads the bottom half, and overall top 10, with a 60% increase off just $6K of investment from buyers.

It’s good to see $DOG back close to a $200m market cap, and $MIM still seems undervalued even at $64m.

$PUPS at $25m, up 8% today, is as OG as they come and deserves higher. $BRO in 4th is staking a claim to become a mainstay in the leaders. With almost $40K of volume yesterday, it’s entirely possible.

OdinFun, FunkyBit, and Alkanes

$BITCAT Resurrected the Fourth is now top of the OdinFun charts, overtaking OdinApe. Go check out the comments on it’s page here… many are warning about the high supply held by one wallet. And they’re pretty hilarious if nothing else.

Fan favorite, OdinDog, makes a sweet recovery up 37% today, with Bob’s other token, Satoshi, up 12%.

GrandMaster Funk improves and is up by around $50K today, while Funky Monkey improves slightly. There’s very little volume happening other than on those two, with PepeOdins and Starship registering no sales.

Not so much a worry for the tokens themselves, but it shows people aren’t really going to Funky to trade them. There’s not a massive amount on OdinFun either, but that’s where the trades are happening.

Either way, it looks like the top 2 are the ones which have survived.

It’s probably time to include Alkanes in these updates too now. This list might get much longer as we move into summer. Good problems to have!

Some drops on the top 3, but they’ve been pushing hard all week. $DIESEL was around $20m at the tail end of last week if memory serves.

The alpha at the moment is to keep a lookout for new hyped mints, keep your entry low, and don’t FOMO into everything you see. You know the rules.
