Three Ways Your Startup Could Benefit from AI
🧵👇

[Zeneca🔮 @Zeneca]

I'm coming up on 4 years sober and want to talk a bit about addiction.

I am an addict, through and through.

I used to think "oh I just have an addictive personality", which sure, is true, but that's reductive to the core of it: addiction is a disease.

Alcohol has been my most severe addiction, and the most debilitating one. It is the one addiction that, having been under control for 4 years, has turned my life around. Saved my life.

But just because I no longer drink any more, doesn't mean I am no longer an addict, or that I don't get addicted to things.

As Craig Ferguson said in his incredible monologue on alcoholism (look it up): "I don't have a drinking problem. I have a thinking problem".

The reason I drank was "to escape".

To not think the thoughts I had in my head, to not deal with life, to not deal with emotions, to not deal with conflict, to stop the menacing self-loathing and over-thinking.

Alcohol was my medicine.

It worked until it didn't, and then things got so much worse as you'd expect.

Fortunately I was able to, eventually, find a way to sobriety. All are not so lucky. But while my alcoholism is under control, my addiction issues are still around.

I replaced alcohol with sugar, and will very often binge eat disgustingly copious amounts of terribly processed sugar.

I replaced alcohol with video games, and will run to a virtual world to escape the difficulties of real life any chance I get.

I replaced alcohol with YouTube, and will mindlessly scroll shorts in order to stop my brain from even having half a second to think about "real life".

I replaced alcohol with crypto gambling, and will FOMO into the most random projects and shitcoins to chase those quick wins and dopamine spikes.

This last point is one that I see all around in this space. I KNOW what I "should" and "should not" do, but I don't always practice what I preach (and I know I am a tiresome bore of a preacher at times).

Just these last couple of days as the market has seemed bullish again, I have noticed the FOMO come rushing back, and the allure of aping into something even though i know it's a bad idea.

I'm mostly able to control it, but not always. The pull is always there.

It takes a lot of self control to fight against and if you know anything about addicts, self control is the one thing we are always coming up short on.

I'm still trying to figure out how to best navigate this space, and this world, with this disease.

I think a lot of people suffer from addiction.

For me, it has been helpful to hear other people talk about it. So I hope this is that, for someone else.

Here's what to anticipate for this likely big week

LayerZero will either

#1: Push a significant announcement about a snapshot that occurred somewhere in Sept/Oct.

[It could also be about Essence/Stargate v2]

The smartest minds I consulted with advised giving it at least until Wednesday.

#2: Not announce anything beyond usual chain and partnership integrations

Note: Scenario #2 doesn't necessarily exclude that a snapshot has already taken place and that $ZRO is happening in Q4.

Also keep in mind:
▫️ Circulating VC screenshots always indicated Q3/Q4
▫️ Daily LZ messages likely won't breach ATH again

And the most entertaining outcome is the most likely.

He took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. All eyes were on him as he began to play his guitar.

As the rain poured down, she stood at the train station, waiting for her long-distance boyfriend. Her heart raced with excitement and anticipation as she saw his familiar face in the crowd.

The sound of waves crashing against the shore was all the music she needed. #beachlife

He searched high and low for the answer, but it was right in front of him all along.

The sun rose over the mountains, casting a warm glow over the sleepy town. The birds chirped, and the world came to life once more.

She had always been afraid of heights, but when he took her hand and led her to the top of the mountain, she knew it was worth it.

Just saw a pigeon steal a French fry right out of someone's hand. I think that bird may be living its best life.
