Paid off my parents mortgage for Mother’s Day.
Paid off my student loans.
Five years in crypto and it’s starting to come together - all thanks to ETH 🤝
In 2020 I bought a CryptoPunk for $366.
Today, that same asset is worth nearly half a million dollars.
This is why everyone needs to pay attention to NFTs.
If you were good at video games, you're probably crushing it in crypto.
Runescape, Halo, Fortnite, Warcraft - it's all relevant.
Web3 is the world's largest MMORPG.
The genie is out of the bottle.
Kids will set up crypto wallets before they set up checking accounts.
It's only a matter of time before banks are forced to adapt.
Many have predicted that DAOs will eclipse centralized organizations.
How does that happen, and how do DAOs successfully scale to that size?
Through SubDAOs 🔽
You can hold BTC and ETH and do absolutely nothing for the next 5-10 years and make more money than most people will in their entire life.
The hardest part is never selling.
Meta is extremely bullish for crypto.
There is no reality where the metaverse is not powered by web3.
Today - the biggest social network in the world just validated that future.
We need to make the onboarding cost of web3 more accessible.
Most people do not have thousands of dollars in disposable income to get started.
Pay close attention to projects which let you join this community with $100 or less.
Start a DAO in four steps.
1) Create a token using a Mirror crowdfund.
2) Store funds in a Gnosis Safe multi-sig.
3) Setup a Snapshot space for governance.
4) Make a Discord with token-gated access.
All of which is free to use (minus gas).
Good luck!
We are not in a bear market.
Ask anyone who was there in January 2019.
ETH was $100. Twitter was a ghost-town.
This is an opportunity, not a time to be alarmed.
Corrections are healthy - take advantage.
Web3 is a 24/7 industry.
There is no clocking out.
Enjoy life, but realize every minute you take off someone else is gaining headway.
Don't lose your edge.
Walking around Art Basel and something really clicked.
Taking a picture of physical art is no different from taking a screen shot of an NFT.
Free for all to enjoy, owned by one.
It’s only a matter of time before everyone else realizes this too.
3 months of crypto bull market left.
ETH to $10k.
NFT floors through the roof.
$1B val DAO tokens.

Good luck 🤝

@ensdomains
is a critical part of web3 onboarding.
Your first transaction after setting up a Metamask should always be to register your .eth domain.
No wonder $ENS is the most talked about launch in months.
Teach creators how to use web3.
Invest with your time, not your money.

We are still 3-5 years away from genuine mainstream adoption of web3.
There are glimpses of this today, but there's an extremely long road ahead.
Don't get caught in the hype.
A ton of people really hate NFTs.
We need to do a better job at showing that web3 is about more than making money.
Community and connection are the silver linings.
Buy NFTs not to make money, but to support creative work.
Flipping NFTs should come second to giving artists the freedom to pursue their craft.
The relationship is what's valuable, not the floor price.
