Five freedoms in crypto:
1) Freedom to control your own money
2) Freedom to move your own money
3) Freedom to invest your own money
4) Freedom to preserve the value of your own money
5) Freedom to raise money
Crypto is…
Desperate gamblers chasing their first bag.
Investors funding the buildout of the global casino.
Bankers hypnotizing the masses to collect their vig.
…all meaningless and ephemeral without the cypherpunks, who defend the dream of encrypted and unstoppable cash.
Fuck likes.
Fuck being admired.
Most of the people who follow me DO NOT care about Lambos, watches, or rented jets.
They care about putting food on the table.
Retiring their parents.
Protecting their kids from this broken system.
And waking up one day knowing they’re finally free.
That’s who I speak to.
That’s who I do this for.
Those are the people whose lives I want to change through #crypto
The rest can scroll.
Unpopular opinion: 😂

It's called "public spending" for a reason.

Host the event.
Voice an idea.
Tell people what you want.
You’ll face more rejections when things go wrong, but you’ll get all of the credit when things go right. The world rewards those who go first because so few people do.
Today I was at a crappy web3 conference north of Brussels. They said Vitalik was coming, and I thought it was a joke to fill the room since the event was weak. Then he actually arrives, by bus, in the rain. Gives his speech soaking wet, answers all the questions, talks with the crowd, and even gives me his email to discuss our project. Leaves alone on foot.
This man changed the history of innovation and blockchain, and he's a billionaire without a bodyguard. Maximum humility.
Extremely bullish. ETH 4 life.

A key to steady progress is prioritizing goals over moods.
Whether you aim to get in shape, learn the guitar, or write a book, the question is not whether you feel like it today. It's who you want to become tomorrow.
Enthusiasm fluctuates. Consistent action accumulates.
