If you're so smart, why are you broke?
People dumber than you are getting richer than you cuz success boils down to the amount of uncertainty you're willing to embrace.
1. Smart people get their dopamine from feeling smart. They'd rather spend their time creating a plan and to feel like they are reducing the risk of starting a business.
2. If they were truly smart, they would speed run getting their first customer on a product that's not even ready yet, because failure is the antidote to uncertainty.
Smart people spend years collecting credentials because that's the safe path, but they aren't smart enough to realize that doing the same thing as everyone else is the least safe of them all, because if it can be taught to the masses, it can be replaced.
In today's world, when you can learn anything and do anything without permission, the greatest thing you can do is play dumb.
Take the risk even if people think you're crazy. Shut your brain off and do what needs to be done.
Hot take on the "5 Mac Studios running AI agents 24/7" guy:
He's had 12 agents "building" for 2 months. I've yet to see a single thing actually built.
$40k on hardware. Zero shipped products. Endless manifestos about "redefining what's possible."
This is infrastructure as procrastination.
The alternative:
$20/month API access
1 agent solving 1 real problem
Ship something in a week
The future is about who builds something people actually use.
Agents are tools, bro
Its so obvious the path this world is going down. So I spent another $10,000
My vision has never been clearer.
Open source AI models are now equally if not more powerful than closed source ones
We will soon all have private personalized super intelligent AI agents running locally on our desks 24/7
The people who don't do this in the future won't have as much economic power
The people who do will have all the economic power in the world
I'm going all in on this vision
My 2nd Mac Studio has arrived.
I have 2 more coming.
I will have 4 Mac studios and a Mac mini running 5 concurrent OpenClaws with 7 different super powerful local models performing tasks 24/7/365 for me
I will interface with them, and they will coordinate with each other. Talking, planning, building all hours of the day. No need for sleeping or eating.
I will build a digital society humanity has never seen before
I will push the limits of what is possible with AI agents and local intelligence.
I will redefine what is possible for one person to achieve in a life time
I will share everything I build and learn with you.
It will be glorious.
If you're reading this, the future is going to be incredible. But the thing is, it will only be incredible if you do something about it. Don't let society control you. Take control yourself. Break free from your shackles.
i became a failure
joined crypto in 2021 when i was 16 and made 6 figs in the 1st year
decided i am smarter than the market
the next few years were ups and downs but no huge wins (6 figs +)
i didn't buy the things i wanted to buy because i wanted to invest more and more
then i lost, lost, and lost
depression
small wins and losses
i was desperate of making 7 figures and never reached it
started a few times from the bottom and hit it again
i'm 21 right now and don't think i can take this anymore
few years ago i had the future, now all i have is a constant depression bonded with nonstop drinking
i honestly have no idea what i'm gonna do next
life was supposed to teach me
and every time i drew conclusions, i was eventually wrong
i honestly don't know if i want to go on with all this
maybe it all was a mistake
maybe i shoulda never started it
maybe i just have to shitpost for fun and accept how ridiculous i became
if you're reading this, i hope you still got that sparkle in the eyes
i wish you success that i never had and might never have
i really do
Everyone's rushing to build AI agents to post for them.
OpenClaw bots, auto-tweets, auto-replies a content conveyor belt on autopilot.
Okay, now imagine: there are thousands like you.
All running the same GPT. Same hooks, same CTAs, same "valuable content".
The feed turns into white noise.
AI can't be weird. Can't fuck up and turn it into content. Can't say something it'll get hated for, then double down.
It has no biography, no context, no face.
People don't follow information becuz there's infinite information online.
People follow a person. Someone who lives in their head rent-free.
Someone whose post they remember a week later.
If your content can be written by a bot, it'll be read by a bot.
Build a brand around yourself. Your face, your opinions, your fuckups.
That's the only thing that can't be copied and scaled through an API.
P.S. Starting to drop video content soon. Time to show my face
before you hit 35 advice:
go out of your way to work with the smartest people you can find
find opportunities where you can learn the most from your boss, from your peers
move yourself to the city where density of smart people in your field is the highest
live on bulk beds, get a pay cut if you have to
go out of your way to absorb maximum experience from your peers
by 35 you'll be unstoppable
after, you'll have way too many commitments that'll hold you back
Elon says "don't save for retirement, abundance is coming."
Perfect cope for people who can't build anything today.
Look, I get it. The idea that AI will solve everything and you don't need to do shit is comforting.
No hard decisions. No discipline. No sacrifice.
Just wait for robots to save you.
But let me tell you what actually happens:
Even IF abundance comes in 14 years (big if), there will still be selection mechanisms.
Natural selection doesn't stop. It just changes parameters.
Right now it's money and skills.
In the "abundance era" it might be:
- who has the knowledge to leverage AI
- who built the networks before everyone else
- who owns the infrastructure
- who has the distribution
You think everyone gets equal access to abundance? Naive.
The people building TODAY will own the tools of tomorrow.
The people "not worrying about saving" will be asking those people for permission.
Elon's saying it while building the robots that will replace them.
Think about that.
"Don't save for retirement" = "trust me bro, it'll work out"
From a billionaire who owns the means of production you're supposed to not worry about.
Here's reality:
If abundance comes - those who prepared win bigger.
If it doesn't - those who prepared survive.
If you do nothing - you lose either way.
Stop romanticizing passivity as "being ahead of the curve."
Elon Musk just said saving for retirement becomes pointless in 10 to 20 years. Not speculation. Math.
Musk: “Don’t worry about squirreling money away for retirement in like ten or 20 years. It won’t matter.”
We passed the event horizon. Retirement savings assumes scarcity persists. It won’t.
AI and robotics collapse labor costs to zero. Living costs follow. You’re not saving for security. You’re saving for a world that stops existing.
Musk: “If any of the things that we’ve said are true, saving for retirement will be irrelevant.”
Age of Abundance isn’t vision. It’s physics. Economic laws executing whether you believe them or not.
5,000 days. Fourteen years. Global GDP uncaps. Production approaches infinite. Net worth as concept dies.
Only scarcity left is meaning. Money stops being the constraint.
Timeline is shorter than your brain accepts. Fourteen years. We transition from survival work to Universal High Income in that window.
Event horizon isn’t coming. You’re in it. Operating under old rules while ground disappears beneath you means you already lost.
Production costs hit zero through automation. Everything priced on human labor reprices instantly. Housing. Food. Goods. Services. All reset when scarcity evaporates.
Traditional planning assumes structure persists. Save for decades. Retire on capital returns in scarcity markets. That model shatters when abundance becomes baseline.
You’re optimizing for a world vanishing while the replacement materializes. Your strategy becomes obsolete before you finish executing it.
The retirement you’re building toward assumes costs stay high. They collapse. And your savings designed for expensive scarcity become irrelevant in cheap abundance.
Every dollar you put away for future scarcity is a bet against the transformation already happening. And that bet loses the moment production costs hit zero and the economy you planned for stops functioning.
You’re not preparing for the future. You’re clinging to a past that’s ending whether you accept it or not. And fourteen years from now, the question won’t be whether you saved enough. It’ll be why you wasted time saving for conditions that don’t exist anymore.
Am I missing something or did everyone just ignore the fact that 90% of crypto projects are about to get wiped from X?
Because I see panic but zero action plans.
Here's what actually needs to happen:
Immediate actions (0-2 weeks):
Stop all affiliate programs on X immediately
Audit current sponsored posts and remove financial advice language
Pause all influencer partnerships until you restructure agreements
Review your Twitter content for the last 3 months - delete anything that violates new rules
Stop promoting token price/launches in any form
Content pivot (weeks 2-4):
Shift focus from token to product utility in all posts
Create educational content about what your product actually does
Document real user stories and use cases (not investment testimonials)
Build a content calendar around product features, not price action
Start posting technical breakdowns and tutorials
Community restructuring (weeks 3-6):
Move price discussion from X to Discord/Telegram exclusively
Create separate channels: product discussion vs token talk
Hire community managers who understand the new compliance landscape
Build educational resources (docs, guides, videos) that explain your product
Establish community guidelines that align with X's new policies
Marketing strategy overhaul (weeks 4-8):
Replace "buy our token" messaging with "use our product" messaging
Partner with legitimate media outlets for coverage (not paid shills)
Focus on organic growth through actual product value
Invest in proper PR instead of influencer pump campaigns
Create case studies showing real ROI from using your product (not holding tokens)
Long-term positioning (2-3 months):
Build real revenue streams beyond token sales
Develop B2B relationships if your product has business utility
Get listed on legitimate platforms that vet projects
Hire actual marketing professionals, not just crypto shillers
Transition from "crypto project" to "tech company that uses blockchain"
X is killing affiliate links and sponsorships in crypto.
Creators are panicking. “How do we make money now???”
But I see it differently.
For the past 2 years, CT has turned into a dumpster fire:
- every other person promoting scams
- influencers shilling anything for $500
- newcomers losing money trusting “experts”
And now..
Only those who remain:
1. can create real value and products
2. build long-term relationships with their audience
3. work with legitimate projects
If your business model was “launch and pump then dump” - you’ll get filtered out.
If you’ve been building a real community and helping people understand products - you’re fine.
Crypto the most toxic part died.
And that’s a good thing.
hi, it's been a while
this will most likely be one of my last tweet about crypto for a while, or forever, who knows
2025 was an amazing year for me, I went all in crypto for a full year
- working 10-14h a day most of the year
- made some money, enough to secure 5figs + buy myself & family some stuff + vacations with friends
- met some amazing people
- discovered the world of social media & entrepreneurship
but most importantly I proved myself that I could do it
I spent months working without any results but I knew it would lead me somewhere and I was right
I still remember in February I was like:
"imagine I could work full-time on crypto this summer instead of doing my usual mailman summer job"
"imagine I could actually have a job in a crypto company"
well I did it.
i'm proud of what I did and I gained a lot of confidence through that journey because I proved myself that I could accomplish what I had in mind
and this is overall the most important thing for me
there were some downsides though
- terrible lifestyle for a full year (bad sleep, food, everything)
- no such things as social life
- no "fun" outside of tryharding crypto (which was fun tho)
I couldn't find that balance between working hard and just enjoying life
and i still can't...
that's why I took a step back from crypto since few weeks now and since then i'm happy
i'm back to the gym, back to seeing my friends and family more often, having fun again (i'm going out right after clicking post) and more focused on my studies
the only downside is that i'm not actively working towards my future but does it really matter?
I could write hundreds of lines but i'll stop here, I don't even know if anyone will read that lol
one thing that 2025 and crypto taught me that will forever be useful:
- I can achieve whatever I want with this combo
time + unshakable self-confidence + constant reflection/review of my actions + not getting emotional + letting go of my ego to actually listen + not giving a fck about negative comments from friends/family + saying "f*ck it, let's try" from time to time
3 last things before typing post and return to the shadows
- everything I said earlier is the reason why I took the decision to leave @billions_ntwk
- huge thanks to everyone I met during this year
Yacine- he became my mentor pretty much
Javi- thanks for your trust and everything
Moonraker- my british cutie
Funjoza- taught me to edit sh*t videos
Kierian- taught me a lot, he's a beast
Alyx- bro need to lock in on music; he's a beast
Ronin- offered me my first job in crypto
Advaith/Yan/Marin/Berry/Keet/Wylo/Alyssa/Lycoris- had so much fun with all these legends and would have left way earlier if I didn't meet them at Succinct
Famasito- where did you go bro?
Luna- first crypto folks I met irl, was super fun
Monica- taught me a lot, incredible person
Emilios- his words taught me a lot somehow, chad
Voh- one "good job" sometimes makes a huge difference
Bawsa- did so much progress in spaces thanks to him
I'm probably missing a lot of amazing folks, i'm writing this on the go but I'm really glad to have met amazing ppl like y'all during my journey, truly a blessing
- saw Xeet cards finally launched if you want my card just shoot me a dm, who knows it could be worth something?
and in case I don't see ya: good afternoon, good evening, and good night!
Caben
and he just disappeared after his tweet
one of the few exceptionally good creators with their own taste
that i actually admire
i think he's happy in his own world without us guys
Since I stopped being « locked-in » on crypto and X:
- eating healthier than ever
- sleep schedule completly fixed
- back at the gym consistently
- spending more time with friends & family
- doing more things I enjoy (video games, tennis)
so yeah I’m not making money from crypto but atleast I’m enjoying life
which one is better?
those who constantly post about openclaw and how much work it did for someone
they're just lying for views
or is this thing actually going to take over the world?
just curious
