I thought working in venture capital would make me a better trader.

Turns out it didn’t.

But it taught me something deeper — about conviction, patience, and survival.

Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore.

You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.

@kloss_xyz man, what a story

[Carol @_internbuidler]

what a time we are living

[Carol @_internbuidler]

look around u.

how many ppl still keep the same habits they had 5 years ago?

some still send me Facebook vids from 2020.

Harmless… but it tells you something. Their world hasn’t moved.

habits age quietly, refresh them before you become rusted

Almost blew up my port once bc I ignored token unlocks.

The rule? More supply = more sell pressure.

Here the redflag checklist I use:
- Circ. supply < 80%
- Down 80%+ from ATH
- Questionable catalyst
- Heavy early-investor vesting

If 90% is still locked, you're exit liquidity.

From fund rooms to trading screens to building my own thing

VCs taught me patience.

Trading taught me survival.

Somewhere between the two,
I found what I was chasing — clarity. 🧠

If you’ve also walked both paths, you know the real alpha is staying clear when chaos hits.

What did the last bear cycle teach you?

Now, whenever I buy or sell something, I look at the builders first.

Behind every token is a team, not just charts or hype.

Some move fast and burn out.

Others keep building through silence and doubt.

That’s where conviction lives.

@Nibel_eth Standing still means you are fallin behind

Someone wise said that for a reason

[Carol @_internbuidler]

Been experimenting w/ loose posting with 30-40% planned max for 5 projects that I ran.

Trend-jumping in hrs = catching wave & massive vibe boost.

The rest are for big announces or slow-approval graphics only.

Anyone else seeing spont posts hit harder? 🤔

Keep it fresh. 🍉

Social media content calendars are overrated.

Especially for brand accounts.

I get it — you gotta map out upcoming product launches, company announcements, and evergreen content…

but for the most part, my top performing brand posts have always been off the cuff not necessarily planned in advance.

These top posts are usually super timely, trendy, or speak to something in the social media zeitgeist.

This type of content does great and stands out because it feels native.

Doesn’t feel overly scripted or planned.

(We all can spot scheduled content in the feed - it’s always perfect, comes out at the same time, usually lacks substance, & feels like filler content)

Being a bit more off the cuff makes it feel like there’s an actual human behind the faceless brand accounts.

(I will say this takes a long time to get good at. Build the muscle of content creation, social copywriting, understanding memes, picking up on trends, etc.)

And yes, content calendars are import for big launches, when working with multiple stakeholders, or when trying to manage a bunch of accounts across several platforms.

But if you wanna crush it on one (specifically X), try to schedule less of your content in advance.

And if you do schedule, keep the window as short as possible — a week or two MAX.

Being nimble and creative with your social content will increase performance.

Supplement this with great community management and your account will grow.

Tomorrow’s post will outline the best types of content to share from a brand account.
