- Skied for the 1st time in Italy.
- Began learning to live with AI.
- Re evaluated my perspective on life.
- Taught myself to prune trees.
- Moved out of the city.
- Joined a new fresh project. Which I’m super excited and have a lot of decision making right.

Life is good 🙆🏼‍♂️

We’re halfway into 2026

On my side I expanded to Instagram and YouTube, started a podcast, started a newsletter, socialised more, signed multiple longterm deals, but most important of all pushed myself out of the comfort zone

Are you proud of what you’ve accomplished?

[Larry @_UncleLarry]

We already have ways to bet on sports:
- Betting sites
- Prediction markets

We already have ways to show skill:
- Fantasy sports

We’re building something better than both. Something that might change the market as Kalshi&Polymarkey did.

@KobeissiLetter Thanks Donald I guess?

Is it really that bad for crypto?

Everyone is looking back to 2021 and expecting similar cycles, when in truth - every cycle is different.

AI is leading this one, and the winners will be the ones who build complex things that AI enabled to ship fast or ship at all, not the things that has AI in it as a product.

What worked before now doesn’t and BTC/ETH movement shows it. Same as Hype shows the opposite. There can be leaders in what seems bearish times.

Another thing I aim to address from marketers perspective is “CT is dead”. Well yes it’s silent. We have main echo-chamber active and less regular users as participants. But that’s just algo and lack of incentive.

Lack of incentive is good. Less fake whitelists and airdrop farms. We have reduced infoFi slop which is a good thing.

Algorithm on the other hand now encourages only THE creators. This is why we have less normies reacting and posting. The creator posts then reach less.

TikTok is a crypto channel now too. The UGC strategies that prediction markets use ar predominately on TikTok from UA perspective. CT is mostly for bragging, and community, but not for driving new users.

So I wouldn’t say it’s bad for crypto. It’s just another nuanced cycle. It was always extremely risky. Tech is still the same. So put a helmet on and let’s solve this puzzle.

@0xAbhiP Rough times, but if you'll cook a video every morning like mr Abhi, you'll do fine.

@AviiWeb3 Woah, congrats!

[Larry @_UncleLarry]

Only if it changes at it's core.
I don't want crypto gaming to be ponzi scheme monetization machines.

I also don't want a play to earn machine, since that literaly removes monetization for devs and put's them in a situation where they need token P&L to sustain a game. We know the rest.

I want blockchain used as a tech for in game assets.
- You buy a skin - you own it.
- You bought some rare gear - you own it.
- You rolled a 0,00001% chance legendary item during crafting - you own it.

I don't need to earn money for playing games. I simply want to have fun and my efforts to last.

[Larry @_UncleLarry]

@eeelistar 100% agree.
I wish Nikita and his algorithm would agree with me a bit more too.

[Larry @_UncleLarry]

@Jampzey It's a risky game and we know it.

@OttoSuwen All I see is public panic, but it was super bullish a week ago when hype was pumping. I wonder what happened that have bever happened before.
