In the fast-paced world of crypto trading, where fortunes can flip in minutes, one trader's tweet has captured the raw frustration many feel during market dips. On November 18, 2025, prominent X user @bunjil posted a short but pointed thread that's resonating with the community.

The thread starts with Bunjil's quote: "aight HYPE lets try not sucking dick for 5 minutes yea." He then follows up by quoting it with "great work HYPERLIQUID." It's classic trader sarcasm—aimed at the HYPE token and its underlying platform, Hyperliquid.

For those new to this, Hyperliquid is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on its own Layer-1 blockchain, specializing in perpetual futures trading. It's known for lightning-fast on-chain transactions and low fees, making it a go-to for serious traders. The HYPE token is Hyperliquid's native cryptocurrency, used for governance, staking, and securing the network. With a market cap that's climbed impressively in 2025, HYPE has been one of the breakout stars, often compared to major players like SOL or ETH in terms of ecosystem growth.

But why the frustration? Bunjil, a self-described "retarded artist" who's been vocal about his trades, has a history of posting about HYPE. From buying dips to celebrating pumps (like when HYPE hit $43 and he splurged on an iPhone), his timeline shows he's deeply invested—literally and emotionally. Recent posts hint at volatility: strange chart wicks, whale sells, and predictions of curbside bites. On this day, it seems HYPE's price action wasn't living up to the... well, hype.

This isn't just random venting. In the meme token space, where projects live and die on community buzz and viral momentum, tokens like HYPE embody that same "hype" factor. Even though HYPE is more utility-driven than your average dog-themed meme coin, its price swings mirror the emotional rollercoaster of meme trading. Bunjil's call-out highlights a key lesson: even solid projects can "suck" temporarily due to market forces, whales, or platform tweaks.

Hyperliquid itself has been busy innovating. Recent updates include permissionless markets via HIP-3, integrations for exotic assets, and tools like cash-secured puts on apps like Hypersurface. Yet, if Bunjil's tweet is any indicator, traders want stability amid the growth. Is this a signal for Hyperliquid to address liquidity issues or staking rewards? Or just another day in crypto where patience is the real alpha?

For blockchain practitioners dipping into meme tokens or hyped projects, threads like this are gold. They remind us to zoom out: research the tech (Hyperliquid's on-chain order book is legit), track sentiment, and maybe hold through the sucky moments. If you're trading HYPE, keep an eye on Bunjil—he's been spot-on before.
