Most Web3 communities disappear when the hype fades. One didn’t.
We often say it starts with 1:1 conversations, your first 100 or 1,000 real members, or a few early believers.
All of that’s true.
But @NeoTokyoCode is one of the rare projects with an actual answer to the harder part:
How do you build a community that lasts?
The original focus was gaming. That’s not the meta right now.
But the community?
Still here. Still active. Still valuable. Especially for founders and early-stage teams.
That tells you something.
This isn’t just another Discord with a founder pulling strings.
It’s community-led.
Value creation isn’t tied to a seasonal airdrop or hype loop.
It’s built on infrastructure:
Real people.
Real relationships.
Shared skin in the game.
A great example is the NT Accelerator.
An initiative that connects ambitious builders with proven, vetted talent from the Citadel.
It’s not theory. It’s real support for teams who are actually building.
Bring a challenge: dev need, GTM plan, merch, you name it.
The Accelerator matches you with trusted professionals, not random DMs.
No budget gambling.
No wasted time.
Serious projects. Serious contributors. Growing together.
@Pindora_HQ finds its origin inside the walls of the Citadel.
If you’re building with a long view, study Neo Tokyo.
They’re playing a different game.
No cheap campaigns. No flash-in-the-pan growth hacks.
Just durable infrastructure.
Just long-term value.
In my opinion, the crown for lasting Web3 community still sits with Neo Tokyo.
Respect to those who build slow and stay strong.
Grand rising.
🚨 YOUR MONEY IS STUCK: BLACKROCK BLOCKS HALF THE WITHDRAWALS IN $26B FUND –
AND LARRY FINK? CRICKETS.
BlackRock’s $26B HLEND private credit fund (the one they hyped as “accessible high-yield” after gobbling up HPS) just gated hard.
Investors tried to yank $1.2B (9.3% of the fund) in Q1 2026.
BlackRock said: 5% max only. Paid $620M.
The other ~$580M? Locked. Trapped until next quarters — maybe longer if the stampede continues.
Half the exit requests? Denied. Zero this round.
For regular folks (retail chasers of those 10%+ yields via advisors or retirement wrappers):
Your cash isn’t liquid like the sales pitch promised.
Need it now? Tough — quarterly drip-feed only.
Held <1 year? 2% fee slapped on your tiny slice.
This “feature” is baked in to protect the fund from dumping illiquid loans… but it protects BlackRock more than you when panic hits.
Corporate line (from HPS/BlackRock’s March 6, 2026 shareholder letter):
“This is a foundational feature of the fund.”
“Without it, there would be a structural mismatch between investor capital and the expected duration of the private credit loans.”
No apology. No mea culpa.
Just “that’s how it’s designed” — cold, clinical, fiduciary-speak for “deal with it.”
Larry Fink?
The CEO, Chairman, WEF regular, Davos kingpin — not one public word on this mess.
Zero quotes, zero interviews, zero tweets, zero damage-control spin as of March 6, 2026.
Fink’s recent noise?
Bullish on private credit (Jan 2026 earnings: “stable conditions,” pushing HPS to wirehouses). 2025 letter:
“Unlock private markets for the masses.”
But when the masses try to unlock their own money? Silence. Deafening.
He’s the face of “democratizing” alts — sold HLEND/HPS as the bridge to juicy yields for everyday investors.
Now half can’t get out? He ghosts.
Brutal truth:
This is Fink’s legacy play — $12B HPS buy to make BlackRock private-credit king.
First big retail stress test?
Gate slams, stock tanks (BLK -5-7%), and the boss stays mum while the machine churns excuses.
If you’re in these funds:
Your money’s not “yours” when the herd runs. It’s BlackRock’s call.
Wake-up call delivered. No fluff.
No Fink quote because there isn’t one.

@AlexHormozi Think you nailed it.
Making 100k people the first 100k.
Mine is (i think) help realise their bad situation is no unique, they just have to find a way.
I think i can do that by showing them examples of entrepreneurship in bad conditions.
Had a great time sitting down with @AlexHormozi. We go deep on several topics, and there are so many great, real moments in this one.
Podcast episode out now on The Game with Alex Hormozi.
Pro tip for dealing with men:
If you see one do something that you think is admirable don’t tell them “I’m proud of you.” Unless you are clearly their superior, it comes off weird.
Instead, say “thank you for inspiring me” or “thank you for setting the standard.” It’ll go way further.
🚨🔵 Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City, here we go! Documents exchanged and sealed with Bournemouth.
£65m transfer fee, Semenyo to sign long term deal after medical tests on Thursday.
Semenyo picked #MCFC over 4 PL top clubs as wanted to work under Pep Guardiola.
Legal is something I see being disrupted by AI.
For now we live in our own bubble where tools are forming. An example is the legal and compliance tool by @Chain_GPT.
I often say I would be a lawyer in a different life. For now I have other things that I like more.
Points are the same as free money here. I'm not going to say more.
If one thing has a PMF, then it must be a DEX. We don't need more middlemen.
