Halfway into 2026
- Taught myself to vibe code.
- Quit my old job.
- Visited Paris.
- 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?
@Glenn6 Partially agree, I’d say it depends on a product and dev stage. Majority of products don’t need 500 more business analysts.
However having a community vote on features is possible and a really nice way for a complex user centric product. But only at a certain stage.
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.
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.
