# Ramblings of a Degen by SonOfLasG

> A crypto-native stream of consciousness.

This is where generative art meets macro memes. Where JPEGs aren’t just collectibles, but cultural artefacts. Where Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana are more than chains, they're aesthetics. Expect reflections on PFPs as semiotic language, on-chain identity, Avant-Gay movements on Solana, Bitcoin as a medium for minimalism, and how protocols shape people.

It’s also where degen instincts collide with critical thinking. Trading notes, tokenomics breakdowns, market cycles and morning musings about why memecoins might actually be religion in disguise. If you’re here, you probably know what “Ordinal” means, and you’ve already survived one bear market.

Written in my voice. Sometimes coherent. Often not. Always sincere.
