Think back on the moments when you felt deeply and personally connected to an activity.
Think about the pleasure it brought you. In such activities are signs of your true purpose.
i have it on good authority that more institutional capital is coming into $arena
robinhood is gonna be another growth lever for the social-fi "super app"
multi-chain wallet / swaps + mobile + ticketed chat + perps + live streaming + robinhood launchpad
INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.
This 1 hour Stanford lecture by Joel Peterson will teach you more about negotiation and getting what you want than most people learn in years.
Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.
Nico Williams gave his World Cup winner’s medal to his mother, who crossed parts of the Sahara while pregnant with his older brother.
The moment honored the sacrifices his parents made while traveling from Ghana to Spain in search of a better life for their family.

I remember after the take over how crazy it seemed that we could catch up to FriendTech and outlast them as a SocialFi app. They were just too far ahead at that point.
Fast forward 3 years later. Not only are we still around, but on Avalanche we have become:
- the #1 social crypto app
- the #1 token launchpad
- the #1 perps trading platform
- a top 100 social app in the iOS App Store
- a top live streaming app
- a top DEX
- a top prediction market venue
- a top multichain aggregator
When we set our minds to something, we rise to the top. Against all odds. This is the Gladiator way.
As we get set to go live with our @RobinhoodCrypto Launchpad, it’s important to note we are not leaving our native chain. We are simply expanding our offerings. Expanding the total addressable market. Expanding the pool of liquidity. Expanding the options we provide to our users.
The next boundary for The Arena was always expansion. Our goal is not to stay a niche product with a die hard core user base. Our goal is to dominate.
I get the same feeling now as those early SocialFi days. I look at the Robinhood landscape and the challenges that lie ahead as we set out to become the top launchpad and social app.
But history has shown one thing time and time again. The Gladiators will not stop until they get what is theirs.
I ask you to follow us as we embark on this next chapter of our journey. No matter what lies on this road ahead, we will face it head on. I hope we can look back on these days in the future and wonder once again how we managed to overcome all odds.
Let’s show the world why there is no escape from The Arena 🫡
What happens when you die:
They divide up your shit.
They summarize your life in 500-1000 words.
People who knew you less say sorry to people who knew you more.
Everyone eats, drives home, and wakes up the next day and goes to work.
Whatever you’re worried about won’t be in those 500 words.
You can dare greatly or not at all, but you’re gonna die either way.
Might as well squeeze every motherfucking drop out.
Do not accept the roles that society foists on you.
Re-create yourself by forging a new identity, one that commands attention and never bores the audience.
Be the master of your own image rather than letting others define if for you. Incorporate dramatic devices into your public gestures and actions – your power will be enhanced and your character will seem larger than life.
All those horrible takes that memes would never come back like NFTs will age so poorly.
Fundamentally different assets. On-chain tokenization of attention and the financialization of cult online communities will continue to grow exponentially.
What we experienced was just a prolonged retracement after an unsustainable euphoric run
You do not belong to you. You belong to the Universe.
Your significance will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume that you are fulfilling your job if you apply yourself to converting your experiences to the advantage of others.
