DEV smoked too much $ROCK and had to step down. $ROCK now has a stable lead who won’t kill the momentum. Nothing else changes. The thesis stays the same. https://x.com/EtherRockSol/status/2100161323308851461?s=20

Other theses on this trade
The $ROCK thesis is stupidly simple Rocks might be the perfect meme for Ethereum. Here’s why: At peak Ethereum mania, people were literally paying millions of dollars for jpegs No utility. No roadmap. Just rocks. One EtherRock sold for 400 ETH — around $1.3M at the time — and at one point the floor itself went above $1M. It was peak Ethereum retardation. And that’s exactly why rocks became part of Ethereum culture. Now think about Ethereum itself. Ethereum is the Stone age network Old. Slow. Expensive. What better mascot for it than a fucking rock? And the funniest part? Ethereum couldn’t even produce its own $ROCK runner. Solana have to do it for them Meanwhile, $ROCK is sitting at a tiny market cap while the main meme tokens attached to other major chains and protocols have already traded at multiples of that valuation. That creates the setup: Ethereum is breaking out Ethereum attention is coming back Ethereum have history with rocks And $Rock is still tiny But the strongest part of the thesis isn’t fundamentals. It’s that the meme is stupid enough to work Nobody needed Fartcoin explained to them. Farts are funny. Rocks are stupid. And crypto loves stupid things that everyone can understand in two seconds. Ethereum had its NFT mania. It had million-dollar JPEG rocks. Now it just needs its rock meme It’s just a rock. You either get it or you don’t.

Don’t forget: pictures of rocks sold for millions of dollars each. They are the ultimate representation of peak Ethereum craze. So yeah, $1M is my target
Ethereum is a Stone Age network. And ETH rocks are its main use case. With ETH finally breaking out, I think the rocks are about to do very well. ETH is actually so bad a network that it needs solana to produce a runner
