YOU’RE NOT TOO LATE TO BITCOIN. HERE’S PROOF. 💪

Gather round fellow degenerates, as I (Chevy) regale you with a tale of bag fumbling…

The year was 2017 AD. Bitcoin had been making moves all year, and I’d decided to put some money aside and ape in.

At the start of December, I ordered a Ledger wallet (‘cause that’s what my smart friends told me to do) and waited for it to ship.

The problem was – Bitcoin was ripping, and EVERYONE wanted a Ledger. So it took about a month for mine to arrive.

In the time between ordering and receiving my Ledger, I’d watched $BTC go from $10k, to $20k, all the way back down to $10k. 👇

My thinking at the time: I’m too late. I missed the boat. This thing is only going to go down from here…

And I was right! 

…for about a year.

Long term? BOY was I wrong. Had I thought in years instead of months, I could have locked in 900-1000% gains! 👇

Now, I know what you’re going to say…

“That was then. This is now. $BTC is a $2T asset these days. If you’re getting into crypto today, you’re officially late.”

Well…the adoption curve begs to differ. 👇

That right there (👆) is an adoption ‘S-curve’ – and it’s something all winning technologies go through.

(Think of it like ‘technology puberty’ 👇).

The best part of all of this?

95% of all Bitcoin has already been released on the open market, and no more than 21 million will ever be produced.

All of the above technologies increased their supply in order to meet demand and keep prices steady.

Bitcoin can’t do that!

Which means as the adoption curve goes vertical, the resulting demand is only going to result in one thing, in the long term:

Number go up baaaaaby!

P.S. Bullish on $BTC? Vote for it in this year’s Milk Road Awards!

There’s less than 24hrs left until voting closes, and dear ol’ Bitcoin is currently being whooped by Solana 👇

THIS AI AGENT TRADES CRYPTO FOR YOU 😧

(Picture a ChatGPT style interface).

Live chat box, past chats, settings, a little section where you can select custom trained GPTs – that kind of thing.

Now, imagine if instead of these custom GPTs having been trained on image generation, or foreign language skills…they were instead trained on Pump.Fun.

Meaning they have the ability to spot patterns like: which kinds of memecoins go up, which ones go down, what time frames do they tend to peak within, etc.

That seems to be what Griffain is aiming to achieve. 👇

Its custom trained ‘Sniper’ agent lets you give an AI access to your Phantom Wallet, and guide it on how to trade in natural language.

E.g. You might say: 

“I’ve put 10 $SOL in our shared wallet. Analyze new memecoins as they launch on Pump.Fun and only invest in them if you think they’re likely to increase by at least 30% in the next 7 days – oh and invest a maximum of 0.1 $SOL per memecoin.”

…then the AI gets to analyzing/buying.

Now – it’s training isn’t going to be bullet proof. 

Setting vague or impossible-to-achieve parameters like “Turn 1 $SOL into 10,000 $SOL in the next month” is most likely going to lead to disappointment.

But the potential to have your own personal AI executing a trading strategy you described in plain language is WILD either way!

And people are already claiming to have found success with it. 

Check this thread out. It’s bonkers (if true)! 👇

It started five days ago, like this…

And (at the time of this writing) ends like this…

On top of trading, the Griffain agent will also:

• Design and launch NFT projects on your behalf.

• Shop for you at any online store with an onchain Solana integration.

• Create custom newsletters for you, based off news sources you tell it to pull from.

Now, if you’re like us – you’ll want to start experimenting with this thing ASAP, in order to sniff out if it’s as good as it’s claiming to be.

Unfortunately, it’s still in beta and invite-only (if you have an invite code, help the Milk Man out would ya?).

Either way – this is as bad as this technology is going to get (it’s only going to get smarter/smoother from here).

Which means it's not a question of ‘if’ these kinds of AI agents can do what they say they can, but ‘when’.

(We just got goosebumps).

WILL 2025 BE $ETH’S BIGGEST YEAR YET?

Lord of the NOPs (Nerds On Payroll) / Milk Road’s Head of Research, Kyle Reidhead joins us on today’s episode of The Milk Road Show to talk $ETH in 2025!

In this episode, we pick Kyle’s brain with questions like:

• Why has Ethereum been lagging? 

• What will lift its price moving forward? 

• What should we expect from $ETH in 2025?

(Spoiler: Kyle believes Ethereum will beat Solana in adoption!)
