- [stated] 3 Oct 2026: wants a new Telegram bot in its own separate chat called "Upcoming Coins".
- [stated] First watch: Fables (@fablesfi) on X, real time, so he is alerted as soon as they release something or gear up for a token launch.
- [stated] Each alert must restate the storyline (why Fables is strong, e.g. far more volume than Hookr, "Fables could kill Hookr") plus the token address or the post, because he might forget the thesis by the time it fires (could be 1 to 2 months out).
- [stated] Treats HOOKR as a narrative play: ride the wave while it is perceived as the main hook play, get out when the narrative weakens.
- 5 Oct 2026 check: Fables has no $FABLES token live yet. TGE was promised for 5 Oct, then delayed with extra points (dilution); one X reply claims 20 Oct (unconfirmed). Live today: $PROLOGUE 0xb9972ca7188e511174947e3936a5315ac7073277 (Robinhood Chain), Fables' pre-TGE token (DexScreener lists @fablesfi as its X), $5.7M cap, $560k pool, about half its 30 Sep price after the delay; a 25M $FABLES reserve is locked for Prologue holders.
