               If you're under 25 and not completely broke, you're doing it wrong. Your 20s are for making catastrophically stupid decisions, not building a LinkedIn portfolio. I see 22 year olds talking about risk management and building generational wealth while living in their childhood

             The consciousness chart: Shame [20] -> Enlightenment [700+] You know how some people drain you and others light up the room? That's their frequency (vibes) Most of humanity live at 100-175. Fear -> Anger -> Pride. Survival mode. The higher you climb, the lighter life

             You're stalling. Not because you're lazy. Because you convinced yourself that looking like an idiot is worse than dying with regrets. That's why you've been "studying" the same idea for 5 years while binging motivational vids at 2am. "I'll start when I have more money."

             Figured out why I've been off lately. Market's down 35%. Portfolio's bleeding. I've survived 90% drawdowns before, so that's not it. It's the ratio. I've been consuming way more than I'm creating. Three hours on Twitter watching other people announce wins. Refreshing my

             You catch a big win and your brain floods with dopamine. Everything in you wants to celebrate. Do it. I've watched people hit their first real win and immediately start asking: "Should I post? Is it okay to be happy about this? Will people think I'm a show off?" You're asking

             Nobody talks about 7-8 figure hell. You have enough money to know you made it but not enough to feel like you can stop. $1M-10M feels like freedom until you realize: - Lifestyle inflation ate most of it - You're scared to spend because "what if this is the peak" - The goalpost

             The smartest crypto traders I know all quit. Not because they lost. Because they won and chose life over another cycle. They were early on everything. Privacy coins. AAVE when it was LEND. SNX before DeFi was a word. Early ETH. Early SOL. These weren't degens. They were smart. 
           what cobie said today hit hard. “nearly everyone else I know from 2013 lost everything, or sold in 2017 and never came back.” i’m from the class of 2016 and its the same story. we were a small group chasing this thing. school friends, work colleagues… one by one, they left.

            @AzFlin @z0r0zzz When ppl claim this I always wonder how they think it happens, or have unrealistic expectations on how much $1bn actually is. I joined crypto with $200. If I held my initial bitcoin since then and never traded, I would have ~$300k. If, instead, from that moment I sold the top

             Markets don't move on fundamentals, they move on feelings that think they're facts. Same coin is "generational wealth" at $100 and "obvious scam" at $10. Nothing changed except how the price made people feel about their life choices. The crowd doesn't want analysis, they want

             Everyone talks about the pain of losing money. Nobody talks about the relief. The strangest part about losing it all isn't the money disappearing. It's discovering that half your confidence was just your net worth wearing a disguise. Here's what actually happens: You spend

             Success makes you forget how hard things used to be. You start thinking you cracked some code that everyone else is missing. You walk differently when your portfolio is up. Talk differently. The same friends who used to give you advice now ask for yours. You start believing

             I’m stepping away from Dokyo to make space for fresh leadership. Sometimes the best move is knowing when to step aside. I’m proud of what we built, setting new records and raising the bar for onchain art. Grateful for the journey. On to what’s next.
