• Two Weeks in Neo Tokyo: Two weeks 'till $BYTES Retire Our Bloodlines (by DadFuture)

They do say chips are for eating.

A week or so ago; at the tail end of September, things looked relatively bleak. On Twitter, I was forced to read projections of $3,5k ETH again. Ansem was saying “gut says we’ve topped” and even BWY came to our spaces after weeks of hiatus to say “I told you all ‘coin price higher!!’ but now the price did go higher. Maybe we did truly top.”

I guess no one can blame them, I mean the charts did in fact look ugly.

But listen; trend is your friend. Bet on it continuing. Dips are for eating. Order chips with the dips. 

This time it was no different. As soon as market makers remembered that the upcoming month is called Uptober, they started bidding massively. The “Bloody Sunday” was bloody no more. They turned it into a “Scam Sunday Pump” and up we went. 

The move upwards was aggressive and impulsive and now we are nearly at ATH’s. It wasn't even a week and BTC already pumped from 108 to almost 120k in an unprecedented run.

Almost all alts went up with it (except Plasma ($XPL) which got hit with a huge FUD campaign but that's perhaps an entire separate article), as well and Becker already started whispering “ALT SZN” in our ears again. 

It's nice to be bathing in a sea of all green. 

We pumped so hard even AVAX is back to $30. Hey if BTC now consolidates at ATH’s for a week or (preferably) two, we might get that ALT SZN afterall. Can you imagine ETH breaking $5k, but like, actually, this time? I can already taste it. 

Either way the current markets seem healthy and the worst is behind us. 

I say onwards. The gains await. Keep clicking. Cya in the next one. 🚀

Look, if you've been hiding under an EtherRock these past two weeks, the Citadel didn't just wake up—it straight-up chugged a triple-espresso-old-fashioned and went beast mode. ByteStreet, our shiny new investment playground, flung open the sign-up and KYC gates on October 1st. Citizens and randos alike are lining up to sling $BYTES at money printers in gaming, AI, RWAs, DeFi. First deals hit October 15th, so start picking your Lambo’s colour. If you still aren’t up to speed, the allocation structure, recording and deck are chilling in the Citadel, ready for your late-night dopamine fix.

Over in the gaming trenches, Neo Tokyo just sealed its first official Gaming Guild hookup with Flaw Gaming—founded by 4th Hand of The Citadel, Haji, and crewed by Citizen sharpshooters who've been dominating Off The Grid since day one. They co-hosted the biggest community OTG tourney ever (169K minutes watched? That's not a tournament, that's a vibe marathon), and now they're scheming an even wilder bash with AVAX and OTG crew for October or November. Think: fatter prize pools, streams that crash servers, and enough hype to make your gonads tingle.

The S1 ID Auctions? They're on fire—literally torching supply like it's kindling. Auction 7 smashed records with a 3,710 $BYTES bid, jacking the average to 3,113 per mint and vaporizing 26.1% of weekly emissions. That's 17K+ $BYTES yeeted into the abyss, all while ByteStreet gears up to crank demand like a deranged demon overlord. Still scratching your head on IDs? KTrap's thread is your cheat code:

NT Plays threw a lifeline to Lizard Labs holders post their gaming pivot—six weeks of free $BYTES fees for Gamer Role access and some prizing to sweeten the pot. Verify those Liz NFTs in the Citadel and saddle up; the frontier's calling, and it's got zero cover charge.

Enter Kindred AI, dropping Angie as Neo Tokyo's first emotionally intelligent Citizen sidekick. She remembers your dumb jokes, evolves with your chaos, and doesn't ghost you mid-convo. First of her kind—hop on the waitlist before she gets too sassy.

NT Insider syncs? Still the Tuesday ritual in the VC, courtesy of Council Member @subc0der, serving NT scoops, market roasts, web3 gaming alpha, and unfiltered banter. Noon EST, Citizens only—because why share the gold with bags of meat?

The NT Accelerator kept the brain juice flowing with Marketing Talk Episode 5: "Creating Web3 User Journeys That Convert." It's all funnels, organic hacks, and growth sorcery from top marketers. Binge it in the Citadel; your funnel's begging for it.

NT Plays never sleeps either: FaenoraVerse took over on September 27th (snag WL with code "NeoTokyo" like it's 2021), and the Reaper Actual x SuperVerse Showcase on October 2nd, teased playtests of one the most hyped upcoming FPS extractooors.

Shibuya Mall's merch machine? It burned September's $BYTES haul straight to the ether—poof, gone, supply tighter than a noob's first trade. @Crasher98NT's out here hyping the grind: NT Plays bangers, weekly News drops, NTV anime fever dreams, lore scripting marathons, Outreach collabs that stick. Next up: Citadel decked in premium swag, that launch video hoodie dropping limited edition next month, and the Market Elites jacket team-up with @BeauTrades_ screaming anniversary flex. Armored drip? It's not just fashion; it's apparel for the meta.

And don't sleep on the monthly Town Hall—packed house, agenda stacked with 3rd Hand of The Citadel @Haji_NFT dropping Founder fire and Architect @Thrasher66099 architecting the future. Recording's live in the Citadel.

With the NT 4-year anniversary lurking like a boss level, OGs are spilling nostalgic gut punches. Early days hits different. fym. iykyk.
