🎄 Merry Christmas, Anon.
2025 has been a tough year for crypto in some senses, but it’s also been an incredible year in other ways.
And we don’t just mean global adoption and regulatory wins.
It’s been an incredible year because we’ve been able to write this newsletter for YOU, our readers.
Seriously, The Chain is nothing without you guys. Seriously, with everything we write, we aim to educate and entertain you… because after all, it’s a big deal to trust someone with your attention in 2025. Our only goal is to make our content more than worth your time!
So we thank you for spending so many Thursdays with us in 2025. It means a lot to us.
And to that, we say farewell to 2025 and cheers to a new year for crypto in 2026 🍻
Today, we’re sharing some of our favorite editions of The Chain and our 3 favorite tweets of the year!
Enjoy,

After This Reddit Signal, $1,000 Turned into $5,300
July 15th: Reddit mentions of DOOR explode 3,968%
August 30th: The stock had gained 530%
The pattern repeated with OKLO: Reddit mentions surged over 800%, and now the stock is up 541% YTD.
It's happening again right now with stocks you've never heard of.
Here’s the truth: hedge funds and Reddit meme stock traders aren't smarter than you. They just get the signals first.
While you analyze earnings, they're watching Reddit sentiment shift in real-time. The data was public, it’s just that the tools weren't.
Until now.
AltIndex monitors 50,000+ Reddit comments daily. Every week, they send you the 3-5 stocks showing the strongest Reddit signals along with other alternative data before they hit mainstream media.
They’re also giving you a free 7-day trial of our app so you can see which stocks are gaining traction in real time.
The next 530% winner is already being discussed on Reddit. Will you catch it this time?

Our Favorite Editions of The Chain from 2025
We’ll be the first ones to say that this has been a crazy year for crypto markets, but it’s been a blast covering the week-to-week developments. Our favorite editions of The Chain were about some pretty unbelievable headline stories, all things considered:
Our Top 3 Favorite Tweets from Crypto Twitter This Year
There are so many thousands of memes, analyses, and breakdowns posted every single day on Crypto Twitter… no way we could post ‘em all. So here are three we shared in the newsletter this year that just really hit the spot.
Hint: two of them are about disappointment with Bitcoin’s price performance. Another is about Dave Portnoy’s optimism on crypto (which almost certainly turned to disappointment later in the year lol).
1. Bitcoin Depression
2. More Bitcoin Pain
3. Dave Portnoy Slapping $200M on Crypto Bets
