There's a lot of noise on the timeline (for good reason) but if there's one story you take away let it be this one:
"Instead of risking my money, I realized I could risk my time." - Ethicus Adeimantus
Adei was like many of us. Young, nontechnical, and starting from square one. His journey in the Movement is impressive, becoming a Pathfinder Pro moderator and protege of the greats @mer_q_tio@Rydog760 -> becoming a Chief Pathfinder: a 2 / 800,000 role.
Since then, he has joined more roles of community management and moderation, attributing this to skills he picked up in art / design, concise communication, and just being involved! All in the course of a few months.
@movementlabsxyz guilds such as the flagship @pathfinderstw@Guildcreation@movement_explor@scholarsguild@ScholarsOfMove and of course the jungle, @GorillaMoverz are the best places in Web3 for anyone who wants to build a name for themselves, and it's the perfect time to get involved too. Let's Move.
I’m Adei, and this is my story…
Most of you knew me as Ethics, or Ethicus Adeimantus…
I’m a 24-year-old multi-skilled hire (untechnical). I share my life as a web3 freelancer and educator, to provide insights into working full-time in Web3.
This is the new me, and how I transitioned from no job, to full-time Web3… in 5 months. 1/12 👇🧵
"The magic isn’t in controlling a community you are building. The magic is in letting it become what it wants to become. And help it to grow in the ways that you can."
One of the incredible gifts I’m grateful to experience working in this Blockchain/Crypto/Digital Asset/Web3/Internet Capital Markets/Whatever We’re Calling It these days Industry is our ability to build sovreign and autonomous communities on top of this novel technology
Born through common interest these communities and movements also inherently mean different things to different people and that’s what makes them so compelling to build to me
When people are free to build, to drift, to gather, and to move in permissionless ways, true magic happens
People build their own Communities and their own Movements within the whole
It makes room for anyone brave enough to show up as themselves to thrive
Autonomous communities don’t rely on a single voice or a single hero, in fact I’ve noticed they thrive the most when driven by the Whole!
The beauty to me exists when the people involved shape and weave their own lived experience and expertise into the fabric of the tapestry that becomes the Whole.
And it’s limitlessly compounding potential in this way.
There is no final form.
Communities in this industry are unlike any other! They are forever evolving and expanding (just like the universe is fr)
Anyways I could write on this all day but it’s 3AM so to any aspiring community builders looking for unsolicited advice here’s some food for thought if you read this far:
The magic isn’t in controlling a community you are building
The magic is in letting it become what it wants to become
And help it to grow in the ways that you can
💛
Your boy,
Will
Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi Blockchain Kulübü ile DeFi etkinliğimizi tamamladık.

Organizasyonda emeği geçen @BlockchainYtu ekibine ve katılımcılara teşekkür ederiz!
Yeniden görüşmek dileğiyle!
i’ve been working on marketing and global programs at @moveindustries for a while now.
didn’t see this coming honestly but big thanks to @imranfaststart and @torabyou for the trust.
one thing i’m especially proud to lead is the Movement Global Hubs 🌍
meet the first batch:
🇹🇼 @MovementHubTPE
🇻🇳 @MovementHubHCMC@MovementHubHN
🇹🇷 @istmovement
🇩🇪 @MovementHub_DE
🇨🇳 Shanghai Hub (only on wechat for now)
🇮🇩 @MovementHubJKT
🇺🇦 @MovementHubUA
🇮🇳🇰🇷 launching soon
at the heart of it, these hubs aren’t just our fan clubs or brand extensions. that’s not the goal.
each hub is designed as a trusted local blockchain club - where anyone curious about the space can go: students, developers, investors, regulators, all welcome.
these hubs are already active, with events like the Taipei 'Move into Campus' tour / Hanoi DeFi workshop series.
expect more events, partnerships, builders, and movers city by city, hub by hub.
if you want to start a Movement hub in your city, my dms are open.

Movement has always been more than just a blockchain network. Before there was even a testnet there was a culture developing based on empowering others and sharing opportunity to everyone with ears to hear.
How many people you've helped is the might be the most impactful metric to pursue.
Won my first creator grant with @scribble_dao, hosted by my darling @moveindustries! 🏆
This marks the second time Movement has recognized my contributions this year, following the Movedrop. It's an honor to be rewarded for my part in this community, and it definitely won't be the last!
A huge thank you to the frens who made this journey possible:
@braindensity for introducing me to web3.
@hatices1037963 & @ARusmana15 for the gasless support with native $MOVE tokens.
@behemothBtc for his unwavering guidance, even before I was a scholar.
@ScholarsOfMove for hosting competitions that pushed me and a confidence-boosting follow!
@Bamidelewa_ for the snooker-side brainstorming (tough convert, but we got him! 😀).
@AdebayoGoe for the laptop that powered my Parthenon V1 journey.
@coopsmoves, our beloved Movement grandpa, for his always-calm demeanor.
Finally, a shoutout to @scribble_dao—a platform that's paid out $215,000+ to creators. They're building the next chapter with Creator Coins & Content Coins, enabling you to monetize from day one.
The goal? Always #WWF - Win With Frens
