Market grinding in fear again, BTC stuck around 67k while macro data and Fed nerves test everyone.
Took the last hit, paid what I owed, now reloading positions quietly.
CLARITY Act markup coming mid-April could finally bring real rules,
opportunity in the chaos.
It’s done. My entire position on $S is gone.
Wiped out. I’ve let down my family and friends in ways I never imagined.
A year ago, I slowly shifted most of my portfolio into $S (back when it was still $FTM). Since its Dec 2024 launch, I never stopped buying the dip, all the way from $1.
Then came the $TRUMP incident. The whole market crashed. I kept buying, believing in the tech, believing in @AndreCronjeTech . Sonic chain is still one of the smoothest I’ve ever used. No doubt about that.
At the same time, I went all in on $ANON , one of my favorite leaders @danielesesta , a true builder who’s literally creating the DeFAI sector. I bought from $13, took a loan on $S to buy more when it hit $4 in Feb 2025, then took another fiat loan to buy again at $3 in April. Thought it couldn’t go lower, apparently, I was wrong. It’s now sitting below $1.
Unconsciously, $S and $ANON made up 95% of my portfolio. I was betting on two of the smartest minds in crypto. And I still believe in the tech, the vision, the thesis.
But it doesn’t matter now, I don’t have the position anymore.
I don’t know where I went wrong. Maybe I’m like many average degens who only share profits, not losses. It’s hard to admit failure, but yeah, I failed.
Still, I’m not quitting.
I’ll walk away for a while, work hard IRL, and pay back the loans.
The next few years might be rough,
but crypto’s been one hell of a ride, painful, yes, but beautiful in its own way.
Hope my friends WAGMI.

💸 Still getting taxed at the top bracket on a 6-fig W-2
So I’ve started asking a different question:
What if I invested into my own protocol instead?
Not with equity rounds or pitch decks—
but through:
✅ Emissions
✅ Bribes
✅ LP incentives
✅ The flywheel
Can that outperform the IRS?
Can it be structured like real capital?
I’m looking for an open-minded CPA—
Not just “crypto-friendly,”
but someone who wants to explore what it actually means to build, live, and operate in Web3.
If you can see the full stack—from builder to staking LP to IRS—
let’s talk. 🧠🧾
A frequent, and fair, criticism of my work is; "he abandons everything he builds", so why should @flyingtulip_ be different? In 2020-2021 I was obsessed with decentralization and immutability, the only true roadmap for that was Satoshi. The only way to let a protocol truly decentralize is for the founder to not be the visionary and to walk away. I achieved this by putting myself in a position I could walk away. No token allocation for myself. No money raised for the project. No built in fees or benefit for myself. No licenses, all given away for free.
With FT, I am raising, I have founder and team tokens, they are vested behind buybacks. I am not optimizing for decentralization, I am optimizing for building a killer product.
So many new unique crypto projects, all under one umbrella. What I previously built was entirely without personal incentives, imagine what I can do incentivized.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
