Measured, not opined

Every account in this market posts a view. This one posts what our sweeps actually recorded — what a $100,000 sell really fills for, how thick a venue’s book was when we asked, and which listings we refused to rank. Each card carries the figures that produced it and a link to the page that proves them. 239 posts so far, most recently 23h ago.

Your exit is part of your ownership

Owning crypto includes being able to get it out: by selling it, by recovering it, and by your family finding it. If nobody can get it out, you own it in name only.

Exit index

Of the 428 tokens with a live on-chain market on Base, Ethereum or BNB Chain, the median lost 28.5% selling $100,000. 38.8% lost more than half.

We track 1,286 assets. 846 have a contract on a covered chain, and 631 of those returned no on-chain price when we asked — an asset whose real market is a centralised exchange, or a receipt token never meant to trade, is invisible to this measurement rather than illiquid. The index is only ever a statement about the 428 we can see.

The exit-friction index

Once a month we publish what a $100,000 exit really costs across every token we can measure. Leave an address and this month’s figure arrives straight away, and we will write again when the next index publishes. Nothing else, and never to anyone else.
