This isn’t goodbye, this is just me building a new account based on my new direction.
Basically, just my life and whatever I’m doing currently.
Starting a new account seemed more sensible than trying to rekindle this one.
Take care
Oh lord I forgot I bought a bear on abstract chain lmao. So what happens to these mfers?
The fallout is insane
But I’ll bridge to wherever the bears go next
This is the crazy thing about crypto though. Not everyone gets a chance to recover funds if chains shutdown
Abstract was a shot at lowering the barrier of entry for the general consumer.
Either it was poorly executed or the market just isn’t large enough for that.
Plus, users already have a great solution, Coinbase
Curiouser and curiouser
@LongAfterSkew @grok …That could change tho).
My interest is mainly in defi. for the moment, the Cardano ecosystem including midnight is closed. It’s not easy to get money out which is why I’ve stuck to ecosystems like Hyperliquid and products like aave.
This is no hate, it’s just my reasoning
@LongAfterSkew @grok Here’s my proposed response feel free to pushback and/or agree with it:
Given Cardano’s mishandling by founding entities I don’t feel confident that midnight will be different.
So, I don’t believe that midnight is worth putting any money into at the moment (meaning, for now)…
My new account won’t succeed unless I have a strategy.
On this account I didn’t have a strategy. I sort of stumbled into Cardano after finding a post on reddit.
I did execute the strategy though (more or less) without realizing it.
I obsessed over Cardano for years….
And then obsessed over defi at the tail end
So the strategy was, at its heart, obsession
I just have carry over that obsession to the new account.
But, just like this account, I’m gonna end up putting out hundreds of posts that get zero likes and 5 views (from bots lol)
it's been refreshing posting on my new account with almost no followers lol.
if you enjoyed what i've posted on this account then you'll enjoy what i post over there
not trying to be anything special. just posting what i learn and my thought process as i build my media company

Worth noting I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I’ve tried posting here for months without any results.
It’s better if I switch and start new
I appreciate those who’ve followed me since the beginning
For the second time this year…
the thought of starting a new account has returned
Been trying to grow for months on my new content but I’m not seeing results on this account
Maybe it’s better if I start a new one and just keep this as an archive
So I’m gonna run a test
If it works I’m gonna make the change and sunset this account
It’s been a good run
Met a lot of great people but it’s time to fully embrace my new interests
Crypto was cool but for many reasons, both personal and otherwise, I changed early this year
And it’s no hate, I love ya’ll. But I gotta move on
But we’ll see after a run a few tests
I’ll still be Opti. I’ll still love coffee.
I feel like if you want to do something, you can absolutely find ways to make it happen
I asked this 19 year old I work with at my job.
Basically i said “if you could have any job in the world what would it be?”
And he said YouTuber.
I guess because of the flexibility and freedom or something
So then I asked him what’s stopping him from doing that right now?
I don’t remember what his exact answer was but it was something like “yeah not much is stopping me”
And I guess this is always a good question to ask ourselves
Like, there’s not much that’s out of reach with a little planning and commitment.
Wanna travel the world but you’re broke? There’s probably a way you can do that on a shoe string budget
It’s “I can figure this out” vs. “I can’t do this because a, b, and c”
