I'm discussing these qs—and sharing 4 things about crypto to know right now. https://t.co/c94fA0ofC2

[lesliequander @lesliequander]

Really feeling for people affected by this crypto crash and not able to access their funds via FTX. These times are rough.

With lower entry points, however, I also see the opportunity to keep building carefully and strategically. And prepare for the days to come.
