RaveDAO (RAVE)

i saw @ravedao 's $RAVE post earlier today named 'why crypto feels like rave in the 1990s'

and this was not a random crypto farming post you see on your feed

cause it actually made me reflect on some things

it was made through a cultural lens...

not because crypto and rave look alike on the surface.

but because both show up when systems still run yet stop feeling accessible to the people inside them.

that pattern repeats.

when institutions feel distant and rules feel fixed in the wrong places people do not wait for permission...

feel me here, right??

they organize elsewhere... not loudly, not all at once, and usually not w/ a clear plan...

and that part matters more than most people think.

here’s what usually shows up first:

• people who feel early to something
• builders who do not fit cleanly in existing boxes
• outsiders who sense the system works, just not for them
• curiosity before conviction

i still think crypto always carried a cyberpunk idea of freedom

not freedom as escape, but as the ability to coordinate or build and why not participate outside rigid system that no longer feel reachable..

reading their post reframed @ravedao for me... not as a destination, but as a coordination layer during a period of misalignement...

if you missed this part, before $RAVE launch, ravedao already had numbers:

• 20+ global events
• 100k+ attendees
• 70,000+ NFT tickets minted
• 20+ global events across dubai, singapore, seoul, bangkok, brussels, miami, shanghai, amsterdam
• 70,000+ NFT tickets minted
• 100k+ attendees across 5 countries during 2024–2025
• 800M+ social impressions
• 150M+ reach from singapore + dubai alone
• 40+ DJs from top-tier festivals already involved

so, yeah, i'm still following rave in 2026 and i'm rooting for them!

here's a full thread of what they're building:

Now we really should start paying attention to Aster's listing effect. Today I went through the projects already launched on the platform one by one, and the overall impression is that the prices are very firm, and the selection criteria are noticeably strict. Among the four phases that have already opened, three of them have multiplied two to three times above the opening price.

I have personally bought $RAVE; its narrative follows the Trump family’s rhythm and is very stable. RTX’s trend is also strong, but so far I haven’t found an entry point that feels comfortable. As for $CYS, I actually find it more interesting; it is a full‑stack compute network that puts compute power—an asset and computational resource—on chain, turning it into an on‑chain asset that can generate revenue. From the narrative to the K‑line structure, it’s performing well. I bought some a couple of days ago, and today I went all‑in (Ath).

Looking at the token distribution, the project team has already distributed Binance wallet trading competition rewards, the Aster Rocket airdrop, the Kaito airdrop, NFT airdrop, and testnet airdrop. After such high‑density releases, the price still remains stable at its current level, indicating that projects dealing with compute power have strong financial backing.
