a hill i’m willing to die on: crypto will eventually reward attention as much as capital we’re already seeing it, but i think we’re still in it's early stages right now it’s either people farming engagement or people farming protocols rarely both @falconstable is one of the first to build for both sides they launched Yap2Fly, a dual leaderboard where your rank is based on two things: > how loud you are on Kaito > how active you are onchain minting usdƒ, staking, holding earns you badge xp more badges = more rewards (imo you should aim for gold and above) meanwhile your kaito posts push you up a $50k/month leaderboard top 200 also get future rewards they’ve already crossed $1B+ in TVL and locked in a $10M strategic raise from WLFI i’ve always believed the best systems reward both skin in the game and narrative risk this is the first one that actually tracks both partnered with falcon, but this genuinely feels like a blueprint for how protocols should grow in public

how people go broke: a few weeks ago, I talked to someone who made mid-seven figures during the recent memecoin bull he didn’t get lucky on one coin he was early, sharp, caught every major trend walked away with more than most people will ever see in their lives but now, he's almost broke because he couldn’t scale his life back down when the money came in, his whole world shifted he moved to a better apartment, flew business class, made new friends who were used to that level of spending $80k months became “normal" then the market slowed and the trades stopped working, at least not at the same scale but he kept spending not because he was stupid, because downgrading felt impossible how do you explain to new friends that you can’t split the villa this year? that you’re back to flying economy? that the new version of you... was temporary? your ego won’t let you money from a bull market is like a windfall of luck if you mistake it for skill, you build a life that only luck can sustain when the luck runs out, so does everything that depended on it this story isn't rare, it’s just rarely told and it’s happening more than anyone wants to admit

i got a confession to make: i miss when farming points felt fun when it didn’t feel like you were the one getting farmed well... Yuzu season 3 just launched on EDU Chain and it actually feels gud again: > use the chain (24 dapps live) > farm points > get rewards 75M Yuzu getting split (more if you hold a capy) partnered but this might be the most fun I’ve had farming in a while

the only sell formula i trust: “if i didn’t already own this, would i buy it today?” if the answer is no, i start trimming if the answer is hell no, i exit entirely don’t anchor to your entry (important!) don’t wait for some imaginary top holding something you wouldn’t buy today is just self-gaslighting

setting up auto-compounding DCA was lowkey the best thing i’ve done for my mental health i don’t even flinch on red days anymore And now that I’ve automated the whole thing end-to-end (DCA → staking/LP) i legit save hours of brainpower every week my buys happen my staked bags grow feels like easy mode

don’t usually take advisory deals been saying no for a while but just locked one in best builders i’ve seen on HyperEVM so far reveal soon hyperliquid

back when I was posting threads calling out scammers, I got over 100 threats 2 were real (they sent me my home address, even where my family worked) and I’m paranoid about opsec like proper burner emails, never share names, etc as a creator with a platform it’s your duty to call out bad actors but understand what you’re getting into and prepare for it some of these people don’t just talk crazy they are P.S. funny enough, the only time something actually happened was a recent break-in attempt - traced back to my accountants investigation just ended dude’s getting charged

> logged into my hyperliquid ref dashboard > saw someone did $211M in volume in 5 days > paid only $3k in fees??? > hyperliquid

woke up this morning and checked the APR on DELABS staking > 463% on @flipster_io > 299% on @Gate_io thought it was a UI bug lol haven’t seen numbers like that since DeFi summer all that on top of @delabsOfficial cooking with: > Ragnarok Libre launching soon > Teased new game on Abstract > Expecting constant revenue generated post-TGE backed by Hashed, Spartan, TON FDV still under $55M feels like i time-traveled back to 2021 just without the food-themed farms i am biased (partnered), but this is insanely juicy yield

read this only if you already made it in crypto: at some point, the best “trade” you can make is buying a house not because it's a good investment but because it changes how you think because when your baseline is handled your brain stops trading like it’s life or death every sharp trader i know who bought one started making better decisions less stress = better execution better execution = more profits and to those who haven’t made it yet: this is what you’re really working toward not just wealth - but peace of mind and yeah, it’s hard to get to a point where you can buy one but if you’ve survived more than one cycle your odds are better than you think plan like you will you probably can
