🔥O’Leary’s Crypto Pick: The Sui-cide Squad?🔥

by

Ah, the pronouncements of Mr. O’Leary, a veritable oracle in a shark’s skin! He has, it seems, deigned to bestow his favor upon Sui, a cryptocurrency shrouded in the mists of modernity. According to a snippet unearthed by the diligent monks at Altcoin Daily on the digital scrolls of X (formerly Twitter, may its bird logo rest in peace 🕊️), O’Leary proclaims Sui to be the “hottest ticket.” One shudders to think of the inferno that must be raging to earn such an accolade.

“I think the hottest ticket right now is Sui. It’s Mysten. That’s a hot new project.”

The rationale? Transaction speeds, naturally! And use cases, those ever-elusive unicorns of the crypto realm, in finance and gaming. One imagines O’Leary envisioning a future where digital cats are traded with the speed of light, all powered by Sui. Or perhaps it’s just the allure of a shiny new object that has captured his attention. 🤔

Kevin O’Leary: I think the hottest cryptocurrency right now is $SUI.

Ethereum, that lumbering behemoth of the blockchain world, is deemed a bandwidth hog. Thus, O’Leary, ever the shrewd gambler, places his chips on Sui in the DeFi horse race. Five factors, no less, are said to underpin this audacious bet. But are they merely straws in the wind, or pillars of unwavering conviction? Only time, that cruel mistress, will tell. ⏳

1. SUI Price Chart Traces Bullish Reversal Pattern (Or Does It?)

At $2.12 in April, Sui wallowed, a shadow of its former glory, having plummeted over 60% from its January zenith. Yet, hope springs eternal for those who bought at a paltry $1.40 upon its grand debut in May 2023. A solid gain, indeed, unless one factors in the crushing weight of opportunity cost. 💸

CryptoBullet, a market analyst of no small renown, detected a “bullish technical indicator.” A chart pattern, no less, reminiscent of NEAR token’s aggressive multi-month rally. One can almost hear the echoes of past glories, or is it merely the howling of the wind? 🌬️

$SUI 2025 vs $NEAR 2021

This long & aggressive correction with 3 consecutive lower lows reminded me of May-July 2021. And the #NEAR pattern just fits #SUI perfectly here!$NEAR had an aggressive multi-month rally with distribution at the top followed by a -80% correction…

“No way I’m selling my $SUI here,” CryptoBullet declares, with the fervor of a true believer. “I still believe we can see a double digit $SUI this year.” A bold pronouncement, indeed! One can only hope their conviction is not misplaced. 🙏

Meanwhile, Michaël van de Poppe, a Dutch crypto asset manager (a title that sounds vaguely like a character from a Dickens novel), opines that “SUI will be one of the strongest assets to jump back” when the markets reverse. A sentiment as comforting as a warm blanket on a cold winter’s night. 😌

$SUI is one of the best performing assets within the crypto industry.

Recently, @WalrusProtocol has launched, a big player within the DePIN and Storage vertical.

Once the markets start to reverse, I assume that SUI will be one of the strongest assets to jump back. Investors…

“Investors tend to move back to the asset that used to do well prior to anything macroeconomic related as these assets yield the highest confidence,” van de Poppe added.

2. Mysten Labs Leadership Team: A Band of Facebook Alumni

O’Leary, expounding on his Sui revelation, lauds the founder and team behind this Web3 project. A team, mind you, ranked #18 out of all cryptocurrencies. An achievement to be sure, but hardly the stuff of legend. 🤔

“This is a guy that came out of Facebook. All he’s focused on is speed… This guy has sped the whole thing up… You want to do a million transactions a minute? You gotta use this. So that’s a bet I’m making.”

A bet on speed, a noble pursuit in a world obsessed with instant gratification. Even with its price taking a “rough tumble” (a euphemism if ever there was one), the positive bias in SUI’s social sentiment remains high. Perhaps the masses are simply too polite to voice their true feelings. 😶

Mysten Labs, we are told, is led by former Facebook engineer Evan Cheng. A veritable exodus from the social media giant! One wonders if they brought their beanbag chairs and free snacks with them. 🍔

3. SUI Clocked in 3,700% Faster Than Ethereum: A Statistic to Stun

Sui’s network speed, a point of much fanfare, is indeed impressive. A CoinGecko speed check (a test one imagines involving stopwatches and digital hamsters) found Sui to be among Web3’s fastest. 854.05 transactions per second! A figure to make one’s head spin. Only Solana surpassed it, but let us not dwell on such trivialities. 🙄

Adeniyi Abiodun, Mysten co-founder, proclaims Sui to be a “coordination layer” for the entire Internet. A lofty ambition, to be sure! One wonders if they plan to coordinate cat videos and meme sharing as well. 😹

“Sui isn’t just a blockchain, Sui is a global coordination layer for the internet. So our target addressable market is way bigger than Solana, Taun, and all these other platforms.”

4. Blockchain-Powered MMO Gaming: A Gamer’s Paradise?

O’Leary, in his infinite wisdom, declares that Sui is “going to own gaming.” A bold statement, reminiscent of a general promising victory before the battle has even begun. ⚔️

“You know gaming latency is your killer. If you want to start passing tokens around in the middle of gameplay, you gotta be fast. Ethereum’s too slow. Sui can do it.”

Speeds on Sui are, indeed, fast enough for Gamisodes to introduce Sui blockchain-powered mobile gaming. One can almost envision a future where gamers are rewarded with digital trinkets for their digital exploits. 🕹️

Mysten Labs, not content with mere software, has developed the SuiPlay0X1, the first blockchain handheld gaming console. A bold move, indeed! One wonders if it will come pre-loaded with crypto-mining malware. 😈

5. Canary Capital Files For Sui ETF on Apr. 8: A Sign of Institutional Approval?

Canary Capital, a Nashville-based Web3 hedge fund (a title that conjures images of cowboys trading digital assets), has filed to issue an Sui ETF. A sign of legitimacy, perhaps, or merely a desperate attempt to lure institutional investors into the crypto abyss. 🕳️

The ETF, we are told, “might also involve staking portions of its holdings through trusted providers.” The word “trusted” rings with a hollow irony in the crypto world. 🤡

As Bitcoin got its spot ETF, crypto exchange markets went wild with approval. A frenzy of speculation, fueled by the intoxicating promise of easy riches. 🤑

O’Leary, ever the optimist, believes that blockchain is about to become essential to the economy. “It’s going to be the 12th sector of the economy in five years.” A prediction as bold as it is unverifiable. Only time, that relentless judge, will reveal the truth. ⚖️
