Toshi (TOSHI)

I don't think many of you understand how much the feeling of winning vs losing affects judgment. As someone who's spent years in casinos, I can tell you that - People can go from severe depressive state to the happiest person in the world through gambling luck - People can go from riding the highest high to wanting to feel pain by losing it all, as the "highest high" isn't giving them the emotional comfort they were looking for. In crypto it's nothing different for many traders. The people I see changing opinions every few hours or days when they think they may have caught a runner vs when they have a bunch of dry days is insane. Detach yourself from the money, take decisions based on merit. One of the things I've continuously caught flack for in $TOSHI is the fact that if something didn't feel right to me, I held off. Many people picked fights with me over decisions, but almost all of em seemingly turned out to be the right decision for the project. It is because I managed to (eventually) take emotion out of the decision making process. For what it's worth, I sadly am still capable of going from unhappy to happy through a few wins, but it's a lot better than when I was in my early 20s when it influenced my entire emotional state for days.

The market has been weird over the past year, but I am once again grateful for another amazing year. It's been a blast to have a baby, it's been a blast to hit so many incredible milestones with the $TOSHI community, it's been a blast to decide to move abroad and take all the steps, and it's been incredible to strengthen the bonds with friends, make new friends, and try to move the industry forward a step at a time. This year I was able to do advisory that I could write a book about, very grateful for the experience, it's been a blast. Looking forward to an even greater 2026 with all of you

gm tried shipping a tiny Tunnl mini app on @base this week. Set up creator monetization, posted a few pieces, and for the first time the loop from build → publish → reward felt seamless. A handful of views turned into on‑chain signals and small payouts, and the discovery felt more honest than any fedora‑worthy algorithm grind I’ve used If you’re into #InfoFi or building for #BaseApp, this is a real playground for experimentation. Also been watching $TOSHI chatter on the side liquidity looks thin but community energy is real. What did you ship on @base this week and how did discoverability treat you?

Crazy to think that this is going to $TOSHI 3rd holiday season, and 4th calendar year coming up. Onward, forward, upward to an even bigger and stronger movement. All together(eum).

For what it's worth, I am tweeting between taking care of our baby, preparing for our move abroad etc. I am infinitely bullish on $TOSHI, but you also know I don't like to waste serious attempts on a market that will forget about things within a minute. We're building every day, we're just not wasting cool things just to do something. I can't wait to start hosting spaces and TG voice chats again coming year as my hands free up quite a bit, can't wait to hang out with the old and new community members, and go back to our old ways more. The future is bright, just close your eyes and take a nap when it's dark outside.

Were you around when multiple coinbase employees were actively fudding $TOSHI publicly while shilling their (undisclosed) meme bags publicly? They went quiet real fast when we found their fat wallets including free tokens from projects 🤣

I feel like it's important to say a few small things. To me, this is in no way or form about the performance or price of $TOSHI. It is about how the community feels, and seeing that sentiment is much lower and emptier than it should and could be, due to inaction/wrong actions. If you are lashing out at the base team because your bags are down, you are emotionally charged, and you'd flip your opinion with a market pump tomorrow. That's not the right approach, although I do understand it. This is something I've been saying for about a year behind the scenes, in DMs, in private groups. Almost every single person I've ever spoken to about this basically agrees. This ranges from Coinbase people, to ex Coinbase people, to community leaders, to project founders, to community members, to influencers, to builders, to everything. I am yet to meet a(n ex) Coinbase employee that thinks Base is doing the right thing, and I've met well over 30. I tend to stand up for what I believe is right. I avoid political discussions on my timeline, as that is not what people follow me for, but you follow me for crypto related stuff and there I will always speak out. Whether it's Hayden and Kelsier scamming the world with Melania, Argentina coin etc, whether it's KOLs running scams, or whether it's this. Speak out what you believe in, and step up to the mic if you have something to say. Don't be angry, emotions are okay and human, but do not lash out and insult due to the state of the market.
