🗣️ Midweek Crypto Coffee Chat ☕ | 28 Oct 2025

Grab your coffee and let's chat! No charts, no alpha, just real talk about the crypto space right now.

🔥 Hot Topics This Week

1. The Great AI Debate:

• Bull Case: "AI agents will be the next wave of users"

• Bear Case: "Most AI tokens have no real utility"

• My Take: The infrastructure plays (like AETH) look better than the app coins

2. Are We in a Meme Cycle?

• Dog coins are pumping again...

• Are you participating or sitting out?

• My Rule: Never more than 1% portfolio in memes

3. Layer 2 Wars Heating Up:

• Which ecosystem are you building/betting on?

• My Pick: Still ARB for now, but Base is gaining

Ethereum is my highest conviction hold right now.

The AI narrative feels a bit too frothy.

I'm sitting out this meme cycle completely.

My portfolio is too heavy in Layer 2s.

I need to rebalance and take some profits.

The grift in crypto culture is exhausting.

Quiet RWA projects are the most exciting.

I explain crypto as digital property rights.
