building apps

[Pix🔎 @PixBuilds]

seven months ago i quit crypto.

i'd been in the industry for almost a full decade.

and i'm ashamed to admit it took me this long to notice something about the game i was playing.

there are two kinds of games: games with memory and games without.

in a game with memory, what you did yesterday makes today easier.

in a game without, every day starts from zero.

crypto is a game without memory. i know because measuring that was my job.

i started this account at the bottom of the last bear market with zero followers and grew it to 100k+ in under two years.

i wrote educational pieces and quite a few scam investigations that about 150 million people read.

by any normal measure it worked.

the money was good, and i made connections i could never have made any other way.

but investigating scams teaches you something you can't unlearn.

exposing a scammer has no effect. none.

the people i exposed came back months later with new names and bigger scams.

every market remembers. stocks remember enron;

banks remember 2008.

crypto is the exception. it forgets everything.

it runs on attention, and attention resets every morning.

the scammers were selling it. the influencers were selling it. i was selling it too.

that's what a game without memory does.

nothing bad that happens to you there is permanent, and nothing good you build there is either.

most of what crypto produces is sh*t for exactly that reason (with a few exceptions ofc).

so in december i cancelled six figures of booked promos, closed my company, and quit.

(the r3ach guys unwound every deal without a single complaint. in a market with no memory, i'd like that remembered, GOATs.)

people assumed i'd be back in a month.

instead i spent the last half a year building an app.

i won't say what it is yet, except that it isn't crypto. there's no token. it's a product to improve life of ordinary people, and it's the best thing i've ever made.

a game with memory, finally.

i'm posting this because i'm hiring, and i want to fill them from ct.

ct is what you get when you remove credentials from a labor market: the people who rise have nothing going for them except output. that's exactly who i want.

two roles to start: a creator manager and a creative strategist. part time, remote, anonymous is fine, and i pay properly.

full job listings in the next post.

dms open.

with love, Pix.
