· 2026-10-02T15:05:45+00:00I still remember when $BLUR was about to airdrop, $BLAST launched its own chain, Media press releases wildly praised @PacmanBlur for his physique, looks, and abilities all being a cut above the rest, And the whole buzz around giving him the Chinese name "Tie Shun";

· 2026-10-02T16:47:02+00:00I'm glad I didn't chase the Blast airdrop as hard as I did and instead focused on Hyperliquid. I thought this thing was already dead but it will be great when Blur also dies off
