gm Solana — Tuna +42%, Wild Solana Wick, $3.8B DEX Volume, and KastCard Airdrop Alpha — 9/5/25

It’s Friday, and the first week of gm Solana wraps with a huge cook:

• DeFi Tuna update — Gary’s $1K bag is already up +42% since Tuesday, but staking yields reveal treasury mechanics that keep 60% of rewards in-house.
• Solana wick madness — In just one minute, SOL whipped from $210 → $205, liquidating both sides of leverage traders. We break down support/resistance and why it signals fresh ranges.
• Solana dominance — $3.8B in 24h DEX volume, 27 protocols topping $1M+ revenue in 30 days, and Solana hitting a $100B market cap in just 4.5 years — faster than Google, FB, Apple, or Tesla.
• Scalability flex — Solana processed 2.9B transactions in August alone, nearly equal to Ethereum’s lifetime.
• Portfolio strategy — JJ shares why 90% of his bag sits in long-term conviction plays while he keeps 5–10% liquid for speculation (including prediction markets).
• Polymarket win — JJ makes back his Soulja Boy rug loss by betting on the Eagles, cashing in a +27% gain overnight.
• KastCard airdrop alpha — With 500K users and $20M ARR, KastCard rewards everyday spending with points that convert into tokens — an easy, no-risk way to farm free crypto. Setup your FREE KastCard Account here 

⚠️ Note: Today’s show ended abruptly due to an X glitch. We’re already working on a fix so the community can count on smooth closes going forward.

🎧 Gary & JJ close out week one of gm Solana by showing why this chain moves faster than anything else in crypto — and how you can capture upside whether you’re staking, trading, speculating, or just swiping your card.
