My gut instinct tells me $UFD is going to multi billions.
Always trust your gut.
Ignore it and you might just shit yourself.
"Bro Kimchi is on Pumpfun"
Meanwhile 80% of the internet...
Two critical vulnerabilities have been identified in PHP, a widely used programming language that powers websites and web applications. These vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) could allow malicious cyber actors to remotely execute code in PHP core, potentially compromising sensitive data and networks.
The FBI urges organizations to take the following steps now:
➡️ If an immediate update is not feasible it is recommended that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated.
➡️ Immediately update affected PHP installations following the guidance on php.net. Inventory where PHP runs in your environment, prioritizing internet-facing systems and vendor products that bundle PHP.
➡️ Monitor web servers for suspicious activity, including PHP processes unexpectedly launching command shells or downloading files. Ensure appropriate process-monitoring capabilities are in place to help identify potential exploitation.
➡️ If you find signs of compromise, isolate affected systems, preserve your web server and PHP logs, and report it to your local FBI field office or ic3.gov. Those reports help us identify the actors involved and warn other organizations before they become victims.
For the latest information, follow PHP’s announcement on php.net, CERT-EU Security Advisory 2026-018, and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
ALT Critical vulnerability alert for PHP Core with CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, CVSS score 9.2, urging immediate patch and threat hunting.
Cool story bro, but where is the pumpfun airdrop...
Kimchi is the first person to truly cross the chasm between crypto and pop culture; the first ever example of a trader becoming a celebrity.
He represents exactly where we’re heading: a massive social trading ecosystem that onboards retail and grows to 10x the size we were last cycle.
The next wave of users does not come from CT - it comes from the masses - and we're proud to have Kimchi help us set the creative direction that will pave us on the path to a 100x larger ecosystem.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Kimchi is presented as a verified trader celebrity crossing into pop culture, but his signature claims of ~$40M profits trading $TRUMP (and resulting wealth) remain unverified with no disclosed wallet or on-chain proof.

There was a time when I'd wake up every single day genuinely excited to turn on my PC and jump into the trenches.
Not even because I was looking to make money. I just wanted to see what was new, what people were talking about, what kind of crazy shit was happening on the internet that could turn into the next big thing.
That was always the beauty of this market to me. You never knew what the next day would bring or what door might open. Some random meme, some ridiculous narrative, some guy with $500 and a dream. Anything was possible.
People have asked me for years why I'm still here after everything I've made and experienced in crypto. The answer was always pretty simple. I genuinely fucking loved it.
I've been retired for years, just chilling, and this was my hobby. Some people wake up and play golf. I wake up and stare at four monitors watching internet money and a bunch of degens gamble on pictures of animals. And somehow, I loved every second of it.
But recently, for the first time in a very long time, I've noticed that feeling slowly disappearing.
The trenches just don't feel the same anymore.
The people controlling so much of the supply and attention in this market have completely changed the game. We're dealing with a generation of traders who have the attention span of a goldfish. Nobody wants to build anything, nobody wants to hold anything, and everybody wants to be the first one out the door.
What used to make this market so fucking special was watching some random dude turn $500 or $1,000 into six or seven figures. That was the ultimate flex. Not because he was already rich, but because he saw something nobody else saw, had the balls to take the risk, and actually held through the madness.
Those were the stories that made people fall in love with crypto.
Now?
The biggest flex is apparently throwing $100K, $200K, or even more into a memecoin and posting a screenshot.
I'll see videos and entire write-ups about some trader who supposedly turned his bankroll into millions. Then you actually look at the wallets and realize the dude threw $200K into a coin, caught a 5x, and everyone is acting like they just witnessed the second coming of Warren Buffett.
Don't get me wrong, making money is making money. Good for him.
But when the size of your bankroll becomes more impressive to people than the actual trade, you start to realize how much the culture has changed.
We went from celebrating conviction, creativity, and finding things before the rest of the world to celebrating whoever can throw the biggest bag at something and get the most attention for it.
And the worst part is that the game has been figured out by the people who know how to exploit it.
Bundles, supply control, coordinated attention, instant rotations. Half the time you're not even trading the meme anymore. You're gambling on whether the handful of wallets controlling the supply are going to let you make money before they decide it's time to move on.
It's not even about being early to a good narrative anymore. Sometimes being early just means you're providing exit liquidity to someone who was there before you.
I sit at my computer sometimes and genuinely wonder how we ever get back to the good old days.
And the more I think about it, the more I realize we probably don't.
Not because crypto is dead. Not because there won't be another massive cycle or another coin that does something nobody thought was possible.
But because markets evolve, and not everything that made the early days special survives that evolution.
More participants, more competition, more saturation, thinner margins, and an entire generation of people who have figured out how to monetize every last second of attention.
I don't even know if there's anyone to blame. Maybe this is just what happens when something that started as a completely ridiculous corner of the internet becomes an industry.
And maybe part of it is me getting older.
I've been doing this shit since 2011. I've watched entire ecosystems come and go, watched people make fortunes overnight, watched people lose everything, and watched some of the most ridiculous things imaginable become worth billions of dollars.
I've made lifelong friends, experienced things I never thought I'd experience, and have more stories from this market than I could probably tell in a lifetime.
I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.
But I also don't want to become that guy who sits around every day chasing a feeling that doesn't exist anymore.
For the first time in years, the thought of waking up and NOT turning on my monitors sounds kind of nice.
Maybe it's getting close to that time for a new chapter.
Might just buy an RV, disappear into the mountains, travel the world again, and go fuck off for a while.
Who knows.
It's just a strange feeling when something you've genuinely loved doing every single day for over a decade slowly starts feeling like something you don't recognize anymore.
I don't think I ever got addicted to trading.
I think I got addicted to the feeling that anything could happen tomorrow.
And that's the part of crypto I miss the most.
Every now and then I'll meet someone new, and somehow crypto ends up coming into the conversation. Maybe I just look like a cryptobro, who knows. But whenever someone asks me what coin I actually believe in, there's only one I ever tell them about. solana:eL5fUxj2J4CiQsmW85k5FG9DvuQjjUoBHoQBi2Kpump.
There's something about solana:eL5fUxj2J4CiQsmW85k5FG9DvuQjjUoBHoQBi2Kpump that reminds me so much of the early DOGE days. Not because of the chart or some crazy price prediction, but because it reminds me of what memecoins were originally supposed to be about.
Look, I get it. The majority of people here are in it for the money. But there's a massive difference between a community that forms overnight because a chart is going up and a real fucking community that's been through the highs, the lows, the boredom, and still keeps showing up.
And that's something I think a lot of people in crypto have completely forgotten.
Go ahead and clown me. Mock me all you want. But after all these years in crypto, there's something about solana:eL5fUxj2J4CiQsmW85k5FG9DvuQjjUoBHoQBi2Kpump that I just can't shake. I genuinely believe this is one of those rare multi-year runners that people will remember long after this cycle is over.
Not just because of how high the chart went, but because of the people, the memes, the friendships, and everything that happened along the way.
I want people to look back at solana:eL5fUxj2J4CiQsmW85k5FG9DvuQjjUoBHoQBi2Kpump years from now, smile, and say, "Holy shit, that was one hell of a ride."
Because to me, that's what a real memecoin was always supposed to be about.
I think one of the rarest skill sets in the trenches is being able to think outside the box. To look at a meme, an event, or something getting attention and see just how viral it could become before the chart even catches up.
The biggest problem today is that you can be completely right about the meme and still lose.
If you're not holding the bundle yourself, you're essentially gambling on whether the person controlling that supply has more conviction and patience than you do.
Bundling has become so accessible that half the people using these systems probably shouldn't even have them. They're not thinking about how big something could become. They're thinking about how quickly they can flip it and move on to the next one.
So now you're not just gambling on the meme, the narrative, or its potential virality. You're gambling on the mindset of whoever controls a significant portion of the supply, and sometimes that person isn't even the dev who launched the coin.
That's what I think people are overlooking. There are so many different variables now that have absolutely nothing to do with whether a meme is actually good.
You can spot something before everyone else, understand the attention behind it, be completely right about where it could go, and still get wiped out because someone with more supply than you has a completely different time horizon.
We're getting to a point where reading the meme is easier than reading the people holding it.
And that's what makes trading these so called "memecoins" harder than ever.
Lets get back to good narratives
A bear made an unexpected visit to the Mammoth Lakes library in California before it opened to the public Wednesday.
The Mono County Office of Education joked that the furry visitor might have been searching for a copy of "Winnie-the-Pooh" on the 100th anniversary of the book's publication. The bear left on its own before library staff arrived.
