On August 5, a shaky market led to super low prices for the RPL (Rocket Pool) token. As the token dipped below $10, community members shared the state of their portfolios. This POAP was given to members who participated in and witnessed this catastrophic market event.

Some people daydream of sandy beaches and cold cocktails. Others calculate how much time a $100 increase in ETH’s price will buy them. Hodlercon asks, Why not both? In November 2024 Ethereum aficionados will convene in Phuket, Thailand, to unwind with a decentralized vacation. Right on the heels of Devcon 7 in Bangkok, it’ll be a laidback family event with informal discussion and a priority on enjoying ourselves. The first Hodlercon, Hawaii 2022, grew out of a need for hope in the depths of the 2019/2020 bear market. A cadre of redditors in r/ethfinance swore they’d meet on the beaches of Hawaii if ETH’s price recovered to its previous all time high. It did, all the way to $4,850, and the following June a bunch of awesome people from around the world had a blast singing karaoke despite ETH’s price simultaneously tanking below $1,000 for the last* time. No one knows where the price will be in November, but the spirits at Hodlercon will be high. Everyone is welcome to join. Bring your family. Find details at hodlercon.com.
