Memecoin investor Murad Mahmudov confirmed an $81 million roundtrip in paper gains during a TOKEN2049 panel, then told moderator Ran Neuner he was \u201ctotally\u201d fine with it because he expected the wallets eventually to be worth billions.<\/p>\n

Neuner asked if Murad “roundtripped eighty-one million dollars<\/a>,” to which he responded, \u201cYes.\u201d Murad replied to being “cool with that”:<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, totally, because, uh, I think those wallets are gonna be in the billions eventually.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The remarks came during the Oct. 7 TOKEN2049 Singapore panel, \u201cMemecoins: Dead or Just Getting Started?\u201d Their renewed circulation adds a figure to Murad's argument that holding through a reported collapse in paper wealth shows conviction in what comes next.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 22, Token2049 promoted the full panel<\/a>, highlighting Murad's separate prediction that a memecoin would eventually reach a trillion.<\/p>\n

Holding memecoins as an example<\/h2>\n

Just before the exchange, Murad said building something \u201cbigger than Dogecoin\u201d required \u201cextreme levels of diamond handedness,\u201d along with a culture of holding and belief.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiamond hands\u201d is the trading shorthand for refusing to sell through volatility. Murad linked that willingness to hold to the community he wanted to build, putting the phrase to a personal test.<\/p>\n

He said he has to \u201clead by example,\u201d adding that his targets were so much higher than the 2025 levels that he planned to hold for another \u201csix, seven, eight years.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Murad's account, remaining invested is part of the leadership role itself. He presents the willingness to hold through the reported drawdown as a way to demonstrate the belief he wants to see from the wider community.<\/p>\n

It also leaves the financial claim resting on a future outcome. His confidence that the wallets will eventually reach billions does not establish that they will, or provide a timetable for recovering the paper gains discussed on stage.<\/p>\n

Later in the panel, Murad described himself as \u201ca huge supporter\u201d of SPX6900. The token's price was about $0.36 on Oct. 22<\/a>, roughly 84% below its all-time high.<\/p>\n\n

In April 2025, SquidGrow founder Shibtoshi argued that utility and an organic community were needed to sustain value<\/a>. Murad's remarks emphasize holding and belief, even when the paper value falls sharply.<\/p>\n

In another Oct. 22 post<\/a>, Murad wrote that \u201cvisionaries don't wait for \u2018confirmation\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

On stage, the contrast needed no extra commentary. Neuner put $81 million on him, Murad said yes, then looked ahead to billions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
