Every form is destined to dissolve again and that ultimately nothing out here matters all that much.
You have “overcome the world”, or else you have “crossed over the other shore”.
Freedom is found when work life balance turns into work life integration. The concept of a vacation no longer exists. Regardless of where you are in the world or what day of the week it is, progress continues to be made. Fun continues to be had. Life continues to be lived
There never needs to be a hard break or transition that separates production and consumption, unless you independently decide to see things that way
Take a sales call while you're sunbathing in the south of France. Brainstorm new ideas while you're on a walk in your neighborhood. Pick up or put down your phone whenever the situation calls for either
Reality itself just becomes one perpetual experience. Do this now, then retire in the future. Focus today, then relax tomorrow. Not anymore. Every day contains a version of retirement. Every day contains a version of a getaway. Every day contains a version of everything and anything
Work is play. Play is work. It's all the same and all different. No labels, just presence. Embracing opportunity and possibility. Treating life like a video game, as it was always meant to be
I've been a $RUNE owner, LP depositor, hodler, educator, & @THORChain bull poster for every single one of these candles, & more prior - & I'm far from a singular case.
You think we haven't already experienced the emotional gamut of market cycles multiple times over?
We've eaten multiple free falls before you've had your lil french toast stickies breakfast. Why? Because, and I think I can speak for the majority of OG #THORChads here, we are convinced that THORChain must and will succeed in its longterm mission, for it holds at its core a noble purpose; and we each in our own way do our part to help realize that purpose.
For the recent events, noobs might understandably feel panic and uncertainty with price drops. But try getting hacked 3 times in a week -- and, while even Max Keiser is dunking on you and your conviction, you hodl because you see that the THORChain core team directs treasury funds to heavy audits and hole plugging; eventually you witness the problem is corrected. Could it have potentially been avoided? Probably. Could this have? Probably. But I contend that human error must be allowed somewhere with such noble endeavors, and I'm not proud enough to think I know where that threshold lies.
But this is why I have lost zero sleep on thorfi fallouts: I have seen how these developers respond to catastrophes; I, & many others, have seen the stuff they are made of -- whatever that is, it ain't brittle. Problems there will be; but problems they will fix.
I'll make no baloney bones about it that a fat RUNE price is some part of the reason I try to help move those chains: I ain't Jesus. But I also own RUNE because I deeply "get" THORChain's singular end goal (the way @ninerealms_cap "get" it; the reason they haven't run for the hills either). I, as a tiny but proud TC "shareholder", intend to be there at the realization of its one purpose.
I'm realizing now this is less rage-bones and more happy-bones; so, to set things right, I end the timeless wisdom of Bone Crusher: "I ain't neva scared" 😤
$RUNE is following the exact same structure of the 2019-2021 $BTC bear market and we just witnessed the COVID crash equivalent
Here’s what I expect next if we keep following the pattern:
Buying $RUNE here reminds me of when I was buying $SOLANA at $20
Everyone was shitting on it.
Calling it dead, broken, etc.
Tech is incredible. Leverage eliminated.
Patterns repeat.
Thorchain protocol is now practically risk-free and leverage-free, doing $200m in volume per day, and earning $200k in fees per day.
The market cap is $750m.
Even the most basic math tells us that is currently heavily undervalued.
Don't listen ignorant day traders.

If you don’t see this coming I don’t know what to tell you
The future is going to be separated into people who can make money for themselves and people who can’t
Cultivate a money-making skill and double down
Otherwise not going to be pretty
After seeing what Trump was capable of with his memecoin, I think we have to adjust our targets for all coins to the upside.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see $ENA leading the charge since this is a coin Trump owns himself.
Now let’s add all the bullish factors for Ethena:
-3rd largest stablecoin
- $1.2B annualized revenue
-Powers 50% of Pendle's TVL, drives 20% of Sky/Maker revenue, fuels 30% of Morpho's growth, added $8B to AAVE's TVL
-iUSDe launches next month - a TradFi-wrapped sUSDe designed specifically for institutional adoption. Think BlackRock offering iUSDe through existing investment vehicles, just like ETFs.
-@etherealdex's launching a native sUSDe perp DEX
-Telegram integration with the potential to reach out to 900m users: sUSDe savings accounts with instant Apple Pay spending
-@ethena generates cashflow yields approximately 10x higher than Ethereum restaking.
People want the highest yield, and Ethena is giving it to them. If crypto does well, Ethena does well. If Ethena was associated with $SOL instead of $ETH it would have been priced at $2 already. Just a matter of time IMO.
One of my biggest bets for 2025.
general wisdom for holding crypto:
If you ever have a burning/agonizing feeling that a coin you hold "needs to do something" --
you either need more conviction, or less of the coin,
until that feeling subsides.

Fun is underrated.
Many people idolize the grind - especially in crypto - but it ain't all that.
The quality of your ideas and performance skyrockets when you make room for cool shit in your day to day.
Have fun daily.
You can just do things.
This has never been more true.
Because of the rapid developments in AI, most of you actually have the tools to do whatever you want, right now.
The blocker is no longer technical, but mindset.
Some advice:
In this space, take complete responsibility for every investment decision—no blaming others.
As soon as you do this, you will realize you need to understand the shit you are apeing into and whether the risk is worth it.
You are the captain of your ship.
