Concerning this
When I say web3/crypto is cooked,
I’m talking about what WE in crypto can actively participate in and make money off
Yes, institutions, stable-coin adoption blah blah blah are growing; which is good.
But really, what’s there for the average enthusiast/participant?
Almost nothing.
No NFTs booming, no Infofi, no social fi, memes or whatever
Although, people are still making money but not CT as a whole, the ratio is way smaller
Only those winning rn are those with a skill or some sort of edge in the industry.
On a larger scale, you’re not getting rich off it.
Unlike most people, I’m not going to be revisionist about Cristiano Ronaldo’s career.
Up until around 33–34, before he fully transitioned into a more traditional Center Forward, there wasn’t a player in world football who combined speed, dribbling, finishing, and complete dominance across all areas of the final third the way he did. Left, right, centrally, in transition or against set defenses, Ronaldo had both the tools and the effectiveness.
And for me, a career up to 34 playing at that level is more than enough of a sample size to define a player at their truest level.
For context, Ronaldinho was largely done by 30. Marco van Basten by 28. Diego Maradona declined in his mid-30s. Johan Cruyff in his late 30s. Di Asa Ronaldo was done by 34.
So the fact that Ronaldo not only sustained elite output up to that point, but then reinvented his entire game and continued dominating with a completely different approach after 34 is something we’ve never really seen before.
For me, that combination of peak completeness and post-peak adaptation is enough to call him the GOAT. Forever.
Do you know how many entrepreneurs have gotten millions of dollars in investments from their parents with nothing to show for it, do you know how many Stanford grads have not been able to build anything worthwhile.
Yes they had advantage but don’t down play the hard work they have put to build the biggest companies to ever exist on earth.
1/6 Allow me to answer that.
Canton just did $2.03M in 24h protocol revenue:
↪ Nearly 2× of Tron’s $1.08M
↪ 8× of Base’s $240K
↪ 15× of Ethereum’s $131K
Since people are still sleeping on $CC, let me explain who @CantonNetwork actually is. 🧵

1/8 On-chain RWAs have surpassed $34B, up roughly 100% Year-over-Year.
More importantly, RWA growth is now outpacing stablecoin growth by 6.4%, up from 2.7% in 2025.
The data is becoming impossible to ignore.
A breakdown of where that growth is coming from🧵
🚨🗣️ Kylian Mbappé: "People say Messi is talent and CR7 is hard work? I'm not trying to be condescending, but that's something that only PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER PLAYED FOOTBALL can say.
If you can look me in the eyes and tell me Cristiano isn't talented or that Messi isn't a hard-worker, then you simply never laced your boots up and played football." @Sorare
What he said.
I’m extremely bullish on crypto and have been in the space for over a decade. It’s gotten to the point where some people probably see me as a “crypto bro” lol
but I’m never blind to the risks.
I shared my entire portfolio the other day in the spirit of transparency, and even that didn’t include my startup investments and some of the alternative assets I own. The point was simply to show that conviction is not the same thing as concentration.
Be bullish. Have a thesis. Take risk but never put all your eggs in one basket.
