Yesterday I supported @sappyseals with a Telegram post: https://t.co/FYCQ3eA87O
The floor price on @getgemsdotio used to be 53 TON.
Now it’s only 1 NFT below 100 TON.
Well, maybe we should have given paper hands a chance to sell cheaper 😆
Sappy dip in @Bubbleagg
I don’t understand what these sellers have in mind. Maybe they don’t know how powerful @sappyseals community is. However, it’s good to research before buying.

When ppl claim this I always wonder how they think it happens, or have unrealistic expectations on how much $1bn actually is.
I joined crypto with $200. If I held my initial bitcoin since then and never traded, I would have ~$300k.
If, instead, from that moment I sold the top and bought the bottom of every crypto cycle on Bitcoin, and never paid any taxes, I would have ~$6m USD.
If I put my entire net worth into the Ethereum ICO and never touched it, today I would have ~$150m pre-tax.
While it was definitely possible to have made >$1bn with the opportunities in the market, these versions of reality would also require me to make no mistakes, and have no need to spend $ in real life, or take excessive risk via leverage.
In reality, I grew up in a working class family. I didn’t have a trust fund and I had to pay off my student loan myself. I had a job at Tescos while at high school. After university, I needed to pay rent and fund cost of living and eventually buy a place to live.
I worked at startups for relatively little $ salary, and while a couple have done okay, they still are illiquid and worth nothing until some exit.
Perhaps if I erase a couple of dumb mistakes and drawdowns, or if I had a lil more grind, then my answer would be different today. But it is easy to say this with perfect hindsight vision. It’s easy to see where you could have optimised better, and decisions you made look dumb when the past makes things so obvious.
The truth is I have always optimised for enjoying my life and not going to 0. I never felt like I had a safety net, so it was never possible for me to do anything in any other way. I would probably have less money if I had tried to add more risk or chased $ harder, because being all-in with your entire livelihood is a mental battle and I feel I only win that battle when the stakes are lower.
In writing this, maybe I do understand why CT folks believe this, because modern CT sees crypto as a late-stage lottery ticket farm, where the optimal strategy is to 5x leverage up your portfolio in a hope of catching a good 20% move and then leaving. Or, literally going all-in on the next coin they heard Ansem is buying. So perhaps to them, looking back at the charts, of course that’s what successful folks did.
In reality, I use leverage close to never (and typically to reduce risk rather than add risk — have used it to add risk maybe 3 times in the last 5 years, and maybe 15 times ever). I never go all-in on anything, have only ever done that on BTC and ETH before in the last decade. When I buy other things, I limit risk to tiny amounts, because I treat it as a 0 until proven otherwise (so, always <1% liquid portfolio). Liquid portfolio is also a smaller % of overall portfolio to future-proof against my own fuckups.
Obviously I made a lot of money, I have been here 12 years! CT doesn’t want to hear about “getting rich in a decade” though. I am happy with where I am and have never really cared or optimised for maximising $ earnings, but instead having a nice life that lets me enjoy the game we play together.
Why I believe stickers might be the best thing that’s ever happened to TON
I see stickers as a bridge — a bridge between blockchains, and a bridge between cultures.
I’ve been watching what’s happening in holder chats — how TON users are learning from seasoned players coming from more mature chains.
At the same time, experienced folks from other blockchains are creating TON wallets just to buy sticker packs of their favorite collections. Isn’t that exactly what we’ve all been waiting for? It’s amazing! And this is only the beginning.
I’m absolutely convinced that with a smart and thoughtful approach, sticker collections are destined for success (@wabdoteth, @spencer). So far, I’m most impressed with the way @moonbirds and @sappyseals are developing — I really like these communities and keep accumulating their stickers.
Let’s see when these can’t be bought for under $1000 anymore — that’s when everyone will realize their true value. For now, we’re just watching history being written.
Made a small PFP template for the @Azuki community that’s just starting to form on Telegram and across the CIS space!
(The colors on all the attributes are random — just testing how the template works.)
@LoveYouAllNFT@binance@cz_binance@heyibinance You're the last person who should be talking considering you launched a presale where you took 50% of the raise, withdrawing 2927 SOL to CEXs and scamming your followers
