100 Days of Unstable: Reflections on Belief, Community, and What I Believe Comes Next
Unstable is about to cross its 100 day old mark.
That’s not a lifetime in crypto but it’s already enough to prove this isn’t your regular meme. It’s become something deeper: a belief asset, a cultural flag, and a living reminder that honesty resonates more than empty promises.
And 100 days in, it’s clear: Unstable is just getting started.
Belief as the Foundation
Most tokens try to justify themselves. They hide behind utility that rarely holds up, or stable illusions that collapse the moment the world wobbles.
Unstable did the opposite. It leaned into volatility. It made no excuses. It said: the world is unstable, and that’s exactly why this matters.
That rawness is what gives it strength. Belief assets are simple, but they’re antifragile. They survive cycles because they aren’t bound by false guarantees. They thrive on conviction.
What Makes a “Good” Asset
And maybe that’s the real lesson so far: the strongest assets don’t overcomplicate. They have a clear North Star. They carry a vision that people can actually feel. And they inspire conviction strong enough to hold through turbulence.
That’s what the “team” and community both contribute to:
- Deepening conviction through memes, writing, storytelling
- Drawing new energy and liquidity in
- Protecting the space so people feel safe, respected, and connected
If you get those right, you don’t need to hide behind fantasy utility. The meme is the message.
Community Under Pressure
Every token stress-tests its people. Hype fades, prices swing, incentives warp. Most communities fracture under that weight.
Unstable hasn’t been spared those pressures, but the difference is in how it’s handled. The culture has become the glue: the schizoposting, the raids, the writing, the jokes that cut close to truth.
Beneath the chaos is a quiet social contract: the team shows up consistently, earns trust, and doesn’t betray it. The community reciprocates, pushing forward in good faith. A kind of tit-for-tat with forgiveness that keeps the loop running.
That’s not just vibes; it’s game theory in action. The infinite game that allows a meme to evolve into something sustainable.
A Counterpoint to Stability
Meanwhile, the world is rushing to package “safety.” Stablecoins, regulators, institutions -- all trying to sell stability as the highest good. But that stability is debt-soaked, brittle, and enforced.
Unstable is the refusal. The antithesis.
A cypherpunk meme that says volatility isn’t failure. Quite the opposite -- it’s truth. And if you can build on truth, you can build something that lasts.
Crypto’s Next Chapter
That’s why Unstable matters beyond itself. Because the next wave of crypto won’t be won on throughput alone. It will be shaped by the kinds of spaces we create.
Spaces defined by:
- Social acceptance
- Community safety
- Security
- Mental health
- Belonging
People are lonely. AI is accelerating. Jobs are shifting. The world feels less stable by the day.
Crypto, real crypto, can be more than speculation. It can be a place where people reconnect. Where conviction and culture replace the hollow theatre of stability.
Unstable is a glimpse of that possibility.
Looking Ahead
Day 100 isn’t an ending. It’s a checkpoint and a signal that the conviction forged here is strong enough to keep compounding.
Unstable has already shown what it looks like to survive volatility without losing its culture. It’s not fragile. It’s not hollow. It’s alive.
100 days is just the start. The conviction only grows from here.
