Kusama Returns to X and Outlines New Discussions

His bio now reads, “Next up: Let’s set a date for the Rapture using only proof within the scriptures. See you Saturday as the next shift begins.” 

In his last broadcast, Kusama discussed a new AI application centered on relationships. He also addressed Shiba Inu concerns by reaffirming long-term alignment with the ecosystem and infrastructure.

Market participants continue monitoring volatility as both on-chain sentiment and derivatives positioning influence near-term direction. Price action remains tightly linked to liquidity shifts and broader meme coin market momentum across exchanges in the coming days.
