> **Visual Note:** The image displays a list of recent token transactions on the GMGN Router, with various wallets (e.g., 0x62e97033e778af8c, 0x8e38b400842f2498) buying different token hashes like 34779355, 34793661, and 34791481 with ETH amounts ranging from 0.33926688 ETH to 12.45969853 ETH, all interacting with address 0x77F3b627...7C0a11b41.

The post sarcastically dismisses concerns about team selling, but the image actually shows a series of purchases—not sells—being routed through GMGN, suggesting the commenter may be misreading or misrepresenting the transaction data.

> **Visual Note:** The image captures a scene reminiscent of a triumphant or battle-weary superhero moments after a fierce confrontation. Clad in a striking black and teal cape with the letters "THOR" emblazoned on his tunic, the warrior's disheveled appearance implies he has been through a considerable ordeal. His pronounced Norse aesthetic, complete with flowing blonde hair braided with frayed blue threads, evokes a blend of ancient mythology and modern fantasy. The battlefield's chaos, with blazing fires in the background and a ominous, stormy sky, amplifies the sense of recent combat. This powerful depicted figure is locked onto something before him, hinting at either a relentless focus or an anticipation of the next challenge, mirroring the narrative of the THORChain's resilience and endurance in the face of repeated setbacks. After being knocked down many times, and going through constant trials, can it emerge victorious?

> "THORChain has been the comeback kid after getting knocked down so many times. But each one has taken a serious toll on its momentum.

I'm a big believer in its mission, but it is a fair question: can it make it back on top?

Tune in."

That hits the sweet spot for sheeple

What Ordinals and Runes need to do (more effectively) is position themselves as valid chain usage that secure the network 

The trick is doing this with one word to"
