2017 was the first time I heard about Crypto.

I didn’t think much of it then - especially as a 18 year old kid…. but little did I know how much it would really change my life.

In 2019 my bosses, mentor’s, and now friends @tomkaradza and @NickKaradza left the bitcoin standard book on my desk, and I think I can officially say the obsession started there.

In 2021 I finally started investing in it seriously. It started with whatever on hand funds I had at the time, and slowly turned into putting every possible penny into it.

I watched that portfolio continuously grow in peak bull run, only to then see it come crashing down in 2022.

I still remember waking up and seeing my portfolio down 25% in the red in the span of one night.

It hurt. It sucked. I was anxious, and pretty broken.

I didn’t faulter though. I saw the potential and understood that this wasn’t the end.

I never stopped putting funds in.

It kept going down.

I kept buying.

At the lowest point of 2022, my portfolio was down 48%.

Yet somehow my interest was only growing.

I became fascinated by the opportunities arising in alts, even though #Bitcoin would always have my heart.

At this point all my focus was shifting away from my business, and I wanted to pursue a career in the industry I was now entranced by.

When finally an opportunity arose to join @sparkandmint and @jgoodspark as a marketing director for a Web3 design and marketing agency.

I could finally say I worked full time in crypto.

And I haven’t looked back for one minute since.

During that bear market, I’ve taken the brunt of many negative conversations. I’ve had friends tell me to get out cause crypto’s a “ponzi”, family friends doubt my work and warn me to get out, and to be fair, I never blamed them.

It’s not something that’s widely understood.

But there’s so much more to crypto than a $ sign. That’s just the benefit.

The bear market convinced me to learn, to dive into everything that’s offered.

Whether it’s DeFi, NFT’s, Tokenization, or meme coins, there’s a lifeblood in web3.

And it’s just getting started.

Today I thought a lot about this. And I’m proud to say I never sold.

That same portfolio is now 200% in the green.

And I’m not looking back.

Working fractional CMO roles in different companies has been challenging and enlightening - the perfect example being @FideumHQ.

One of the companies I’m so excited about with everything we’re working on - and everything we’ve already been able to achieve.

Excited to see where @sparkandmint continues to push this year with our new Fractional approach.

Onwards and upwards.

@dapersiantrader What bot do you use to see this on TG?

[AlexOnChain @blockalexk]

@LuxLinki777 @FideumHQ Working on it

[AlexOnChain @blockalexk]

@dapersiantrader What type leverage you usuing on long positions earlier on when scaling?

[AlexOnChain @blockalexk]

@dapersiantrader Imagine what that would’ve done to the markets.

[AlexOnChain @blockalexk]

@osf_rekt I mean - are they though? Coming from someone who's net worth is 70% in crypto rn - I genuinely don't think its late.

If you bullieve that BTC will go to 100K+, right now might be the confirmation people need to buy in.

Long term - the difference of 53k - 63k is negligible.

@wizardofsoho You may be forgetting about ME diamonds.

Vitalik is bald now and youre bearish?

They see the results, but not the stress, late nights, frustration, failures, setbacks, and breakdowns.

Be proud of your journey; most aren't built for it. Embrace the struggle, celebrate your progress, and know that your hard work will pay off.

My best trade of the year was swapping into 70% stables over the past month

Time to buy back lower.

[AlexOnChain @blockalexk]

@EscapeTheWage Fair points.

I've always looked at liquidations and order flow more so as reasons to enter trades but definitely not a bad indicator of an overall sentiment shift near or even at pico bottoms.

[AlexOnChain @blockalexk]

@dapersiantrader Your opinions are invalid if it affects their bags ;)

The way of CT

[AlexOnChain @blockalexk]

@dapersiantrader Ended up grabbing the V1 version - wasn't too crazy about the whole motion controller thing tbh

Seemed like a lot of reviewers preferred that one too

But I do think I'll end up getting V2 goggles

[AlexOnChain @blockalexk]

@dapersiantrader Literally got the FPV DJI cause looked like the best overall entry level

How do you like it?

UPDATE: we are moving up our over/under date for the launch of spot Ether ETF to July 2nd, hearing the Staff sent issuers comments on S-1s today, and they're pretty light, nothing major, asking for them back in a week. Decent chance they work to declare them effective the next week and get it off their plate bf holiday wknd. Anything poss but this is our best guess as of now.
