There are always times where it makes sense to swing against the crowd which chases shiny new thing to shiny new thing, where something distinguishes itself as worth committing to holding, following, supporting - and so on - for at least a few years of your life.
Tesla, Google, Amazon, Apple, Palantir, Bitcoin, Ethereum in its time, these have all been assets that have absurdly rewarded true believers.
There are many that won't.
Hypio is the PFP for the Hyperliquid true believers, the ones that recognize the generational opportunity Jeff has provided us, not from an airdrop, but from the entirety of what his team and this community have built, which is still frankly in the early days. Hypio is for those happy to hold their Hype and chill, to try and maximize their exposure in a myriad of ways, but generally, we're just a $HYPE fanclub. That's why we survive when others don't. That's why the people who fomo into Hypio not understanding this lose money - as the ones who fomo into Hypurr NFT chasing some asymmetric value at 70K did the same - and we will be here for the long haul.
Some of us don't understand it fully, some of us want to explore other perp dexes (to some extent, valid, but generally, not Hypio-coded) - that's okay. Sometimes the singular top-down focus can make people feel uncomfortable. But that doesn't mean we will shy away from it.
From the beginning we have been for a very specific crowd of $HYPE maximalists who want to see this ride through to the very end. I love the purification our community has seen and that it still lives while a graveyard of also-rans is silent. They drowned on their own blood, we drink it and cheer toward a looming new year of high stakes, high pressure, high intensity outcomes.
We're one year since $HYPE TGE'd. We're less than a year since Hypio launched. Both have had incredible outcomes thus far - $HYPE was the best airdrop in ages and Hypio has had right-tail outcomes both financially and from a community/networking perspective which absolutely obliterate what any other NFT has done in, frankly, years.
Both are on the downswing now, and these are times where it becomes easy to get off the ride and pretend the good things didn't happen, or to write them off as undeserved or frivolous, etc. The real Hypios embrace the downs because the downs are what allow the ups to exist. Indeed, the real Hypios are so bullish on HYPE that they borderline have "down" syndrome and get more excited when price goes down so as to buy more like a decentralized assistance fund.
That may or may not be how you feel or see things. Personally, I could not be more excited about the development of both, as the two are inextricably linked, particularly from our side, and we will only lean into this ten times more in the coming year.
Soon we'll do a retrospective on where everything is at as we close the book on a hell of a year. The TLDR of it will be that the journey here is long and winding, but I feel the ride is more promising than ever.
