@redphone Victory or death.

If you’re in bitcoin but want the government to catch you when you fall, then what was the point in the first place?

Bailouts perpetuate defective systems.

Let them break.

[Shade Undertree @ShadeUndertree]

@redphone This is the way.

Same for kids. Won’t buy them random presents, but I’ll buy them any book they want.

1. If you haven’t already, gtfo of your hometown. Moving solo to a city where you know basically nobody unlocks two things: (1) You’re the author of your own story. You choose your friends and vibe based on who you want to become, not proximity; (2) Your environment sets your floor and ceiling. Change the environment, change the trajectory.

2. If you’re dating someone who’s genuinely wifey material in your late 20s, don’t fumble it lightly. Quality women who want partnership get locked down by their late 20s, early 30s max. After that it gets way more complicated. Don’t let a great thing slip away chasing some imaginary perfect scenario. Getting married is ultimately a decision (and that decision is you deciding to nut up).

3. Take lower pay, mid location, cringe job title. Just make sure you’re in an industry you actually care about. Grinding up in something you love beats pivoting your entire career at 35 when you finally admit you hate what you do.

4. Get financially literate. Read Rich Dad Poor Dad if you’re starting from zero. Then open a Robinhood account, grab some assets, and stack wealth while you sleep. Compounding is real but only if you start early.

5. If you’re “never having kids,” don’t lock into that identity too hard. I was the same in my 20s. Had them in my 30s and realized this is literally what we’re here for. All my fears about being a selfish or terrible dad vanished the second I met my kid. You’re just all in. You’d die for them without thinking. No way to explain it until you’re there.​ It’s just magical.

6. People don’t really care or think about you even a fraction as much as you think they might. They’re caught up with their own shit. Getting them to share that shit with you is how you forge real relationships. Care about others, and they’ll care about you.

7. You’re going to fuck up and do embarrassing shit. Good. That’s not failure, that’s tuition. The guys who never embarrass themselves never actually tried anything.

Your salary is a trade

You're swapping lifeforce for scraps of paper

Don't let go of those scraps lightly. Make them work, compound, and grow...

so one day, you can point your lifeforce higher

Tokyo outclasses every major city: clean, safe, delicious food, value for money, easy transit, respect, culture, and nature on your doorstep.

When you look at what actually matters for daily happiness, nowhere else comes close.

[Shade Undertree @ShadeUndertree]

Culture is how we perceive our group’s reality.

Shaped by myth, rules, beliefs. Reinforced through ritual and story.

Drives behavior more than process or reprimand.

If your team isn’t productive, start with culture.

[Shade Undertree @ShadeUndertree]

Collaboration comes from culture.

Culture sets norms that drive behaviors, creating natural coordination.

Not process.

Culture > Process

11. We're witnessing the birth of a new cognitive elite. Not based on IQ or education or privilege. But on your ability to extend your consciousness via AI

[redphone ☎️ @redphone]

10. If all of the above is true, the best AI users aren't necessarily the most technical. They're simply the people who are already skilled at metacognition… at interpreting their own thoughts, modifying those thoughts, analyzing information critically, and living w nuance

onchain lending is THE killer blockchain app

it is literally THE most important development in finance since the invention of central banking in the 1600s/1700s and maybe derivatives in the 1970s/1980s

it is THAT big of a deal

most people just don't realize it yet

When fortune doubles the yield, harvest initials without hesitation.

Discipline cultivates prosperity.

When the hype reaches its peak, remember: harvesting is the reason we sow.

>> BULL RUN INIT <<

3 lessons from the last crypto cycle that I'm keeping top of mind:

1) Last cycle, I started getting offers to participate in seed rounds. Felt kinda flattering and cool and insidery, so I sent lots of cash to well-educated strangers. Most of the ones I entered turned into complete 💩.

Liquidity trumps all in bulls, and I refuse to lock up much of my capital rn. Also, I honestly hate how interpersonal relationships impact your investing decisions when you enter private deals

2) Be kind to your mind. Attn and headspace is 10x more important during bull runs. And it's almost impossible to maintain. That's bc the reflexive nature of crypto means the velocity of information and product launches increases. If you try to catch it all, you end up becoming obsessed w trees and lose sight of the forest

3) Look for some giga-bull topper... last cycle, Coinbase IPO was near the top. I'm not sure what it's going to be this cycle, but it will be something truly, massively bullish.

First thought is it could be the establishment of a bitcoin strategic reserve, but that will likely force the hands of other central banks, so bitcoin will continue to run after that. Maybe it's a circle IPO but that seems weak.

More likely, it's something like Twitter launching DOGE support or Google or Apple or big banks getting involved in a major way... Could also be the launch of a new stock exchange that's fully tokenized. Any of this likely comes AFTER new regs are in place (hopefully next year).

Remember, selling will feel physically painful at peak mania... but it's why we're here, anons

Best of luck. I love you all, and I look forward to trading against you, too 😘

[redphone ☎️ @redphone]

@Rager Agreed... but if the game is a game of attention, the coins that never sleep are going to win

[Shade Undertree @ShadeUndertree]

@SWEETSPOT777 This type of coin should be called a LiveCoin. The ticker is LIVE, the category of coins should be Live Coins.

Eventually Ethereum will be the universal settlement layer for all transactions—whether physical, digital, or identity.

Unlocking your car? Entering your house? Buying groceries?

Check the chain.

But that's in the future. Right now, the casino's more exciting.

[Shade Undertree @ShadeUndertree]

How I explain crypto to normies:

Bitcoin: It's gold. Buy it, bury it, forget it.

Ethereum: Like the Visa network - and eventually, any meaningful transaction settles here.

Solana: The casino. And casinos make money—as long as people keep showing up.
