**Following Lens/Orb dropping their new roadmap, I figured it's time I revealed my own roadmap for Dark Mode Meme:
**
1) I've already prepared a meme for when Orb finally releases Dark Mode. I'm always one step ahead2) After that, I can finally rest in peace. (just kidding)3) Dark Mode Meme is just one series within my broader meme ecosystem. After Dark Mode, there's plenty more coming, more series covering Lens/Orb and other clients4) I'm also considering raising around 200M GHO to keep developing this project (just kidding pt. 2 )5) I won't stop making memes on Lens 🫡🫡🫡
lol have you thought about what are you going to post when we finally get that dark mode live?😂😅😅

GMGM. Still working 11 hours a day 🥁🥁🥁
Can't agree more 🥁🥁🥁
I believe that Lens—as a protocol, and in some cases even the apps built on it—should increasingly distance itself from crypto/blockchain terminology in its marketing and feature focus. Users generally don't care about the underlying technology powering a service, even if the two are obviously linked. They should start forming partnerships—initially with crypto-related companies (leveraging existing proximity and networks)—such as enabling logins to CoinMarketCap, Uniswap, etc., using a Lens account. This is far more effective for brand building than a post on X (I’ve always found it bizarre that you can’t log into Aave with a Lens account, unless there are security concerns regarding that process). Another often-overlooked yet highly effective strategy for new social platforms is allowing users to connect their Google, Instagram, or Discord accounts to find contacts already on Lens; after all, no one wants to join a SOCIAL NETWORK without the connections they’ve built up over decades. Essentially, the project needs to break out of the crypto bubble and position itself as a genuine alternative to traditional social media.

What happened before last year was under Aave's strategy and it clearly didn't work out
@sujiyan team has only been in charge for a few months, so I'm not expecting them to turn things around overnight.
The fact that they haven't pulled the plug on the project at this stage is already a good sign, especially when so many other projects are shutting down.My view: Just wait until the end of the year, and focus on grinding IRL in the meantime 😆😆😆
I disagree. We always hide behind the excuse that the market isn't well. Meanwhile, we've already watched two bull markets pass us by, and regardless of the market, our leadership, or new features, all we see is a continuous decline. This market silence is precisely the best time for the project to implement a comprehensive and thorough communication and strategy that will fully bloom during the next bull market. The big loud things of the bull phases born in the silence of the bear. In the speculative noise, no one will hear us once again.Also, this "keep building" is a bit contradicting for me. Basically, the overall community had one big request: to have a consistent, long-term plan regarding the entire ecosystem. So far, what we've seen are a few extra app-level features, a couple of ideas, a changing narrative direction every two months, and pulling two features into the frontend from Firefly (trading + wc events). In addition, Lens ceased to exist and merged with Orb even in the communication, weakening the entire narrative could be built around Lens itself.So yeah, I was inaccurate by mentioning marketing, it only makes sense if the above is realized first (an acutal product). Right now, there is nothing to promote (though what little there is to promote is also done quite poorly on X).
Lol, I'm dead :))))))))))

It's pretty simple. During a bear market, people naturally become more bearish and start FUDing everything. That fear spreads everywhere, and that's exactly what certain groups want. It could even be Wall Street pulling the strings
Tbh, I don't understand this hysteria about hardware wallets. A no-name, shitty wallet got hacked, and now all the degens are FUDding every single one of them. Ledger, Trezor, and Keystone, for example, are legit wallets and haven't had any security incidents throughout their long existence.Ledger has only had data leaks that didn't impact security, and Trezor has only been susceptible to physical hacks
Where am I supposed to store my BTC now?CEX? "Not your keys, not your coins"Hot wallet? "Your phone or computer could get hacked"Hardware wallet? "What if the firmware has a backdoor?"DeFi? "Sthgets hacked every day"Multisig wallet? "Way too complicated"
TradFi won. At this point, the safest and most reliable way to own crypto is to buy an ETF from a major provider. Everything else is hackable.
