Sarcasm Saturday #64 - Eggs, Avocados & Mindshare
Spring always hits like a reset, with longer days, clearer head, and that quiet pressure to get moving again. This time around, I’m not locking into multiple things and hustles.
The most important metrics aren’t always financial anymore, and they’re not even strictly technical. They’re symbolic. Eggs, avocados, quacks, cookies, points, etc
What looks like nonsense is actually structure even if these “soft assets” don’t carry inherent value on their own. The community interaction is what makes them hard boiled!
Those two are the perfect combo to talk about, as they trend in hipster discussions and even in crypto. Do you have all your eggs in the Billions basket or you diversified?
Eggs and avocados are a strange pair to put together at first glance. One is ancient and almost aggressively basic while the other is glossy and wrapped in modern wellness culture.
Yet both have become more than ingredients. They’ve become symbols of tiny cultural markers that reflect how we think about health and identity. Think of them as NFT avatars!
Eggs are the reliable constant and the definition of food stability. They’ve survived decades of dietary panic cycles and never really changed. Eggs are the stablecoins in the diet!
If eggs are infrastructure avocados are branding. They came with hype and toast, as pure modern signal! They became popular because they mean something.
Avocado toast is urban, slightly aspirational, and endlessly shareable. In a world where food is content as much as consumption, avocados are engineered for attention.
I've seen this new campaign while eating my eggs! The Nomisma 90-day campaign featuring an initial $100,000 USDC reward pool designed to reward both influence and real user activity.
As participation grows the pool can scale up to $500,000, with additional rewards unlocked through key milestone achievements. The pool is shared between CPA and ImpactShare
The XOOB x Nomisma campaign has two pools for the participants. From the base $100,000 there is a $75,000 CPA Pool is distributed instantly upon verified user actions.
The remaining $25k in the ImpactShare Pool are distributed at the end of the campaign based on your total contribution and overall impact. The reward can go 5x based on participation.
Once you mint your Nomizen ID you can enrol for S3 quests and rewards! Mint Mystery Boxes for testnet $USDT or points multipliers! Both social and onchain action matters.
Now... totally unrelated with the topic... have you checked under the bed? Not sure if you have egg shells or avocado stones in there, but maybe something that keeps you awake!
Apparently it's a monster under each bed, but even this can get confusing. Same like staked $ETH, restaked $ETH and restaked staked $ETH. No wonder KelpDAO got exploited!
Think of Ethereum like a worker that just couldn’t say no to extra jobs. First it gets staked… then Lido turns it into stETH so it can keep working elsewhere… then EigenLayer hires it again!
Finally KelpDAO wraps it into rsETH like “one more gig bro trust me.” Rechnically it was restaked once… but in reality your ETH went through like 3–4 layers of “yo let’s reuse this again!!
So many wraps that $ETH it forgot its own identity. By the time the exploit hit it wasn’t even ETH anymore… it was a stack of tokens wearing a trench coat pretending to be ETH!
Big News for ZK KYC and stuff! Snapshot #1 for Billions Rewards has officially been taken today after a long wait. Here’s the current situation and what matters going forward.
The eligibility criteria for top contributors was shaped by community feedback and team direction, combining multiple factors into a layered scoring system.
There’s still one more snapshot expected before TGE, so last-minute activity could still matter. Rewards are based on a mix of signals rather than a single metric.
These include Billions Power Points from referrals and daily check-ins (I’m currently Level 6), creator participation, Discord activity, X engagement, and onchain behavior.
My strongest area is onchain exposure and loyalty and holding a Genesis NFT, have a solid Supermasks position, and heavily staked in $POOL. Other areas like creator and X activity are mixed.
Wallchain lives in that intersection where crypto culture and code evolve together, and community status is driven by “Quacks.” Holding 100 already puts you in the top 5%, while 200 moves you into the top 2.9%
With 300 quacks you break the top 2% and at 570, you’re in the top 1% from all! I’m currently at 272 Quacks—close to 300, and just 28 away from hitting the top 2%
There’s something grounding about quacks and eggs! Who was first? You don’t “discover” eggs on social media and you don’t need a trend cycle to justify them.
Both eggs and quacks just exist in the background of human eating habits, and quietly doing their job! Mindshare is pure protein, structure, and simplicity in tweets!
Make your content like avocados! They photograph well. They mash beautifully into identity. They occupy feed space as easily as stomach space. Eggs don’t fight for mindshare.
Eggs and avocado earn mindshare by being unavoidable. So if you enjoyed this new episode you won a free trampoline! It was gifted by the storm so it;s collection only!
