Giving back has always been a large part of my foundation.
In the next 12 months, we’ll introduce 100+ high risk youth to physical fitness programs, mental health support, nutrition advice; and more.
All thanks to our partnership with Panther Gym and the GE Foundation supported by our @ATSNFT community.
Opening end of next month!
To think I was one of those kids in 2008, to now managing and funding the entire program.
Truly a special feeling.
Here are exactly how your posts are ranked
Found this in the algorithm code this morning
Your post's replies are worth 13.5x more than likes
Profile clicks are worth 12x more than likes
Funny, seems everyone always talks about likes, but they’re meaningless
Really important:
Conversation is everything. If the algo thinks your post will create conversation, your content will go in front of more people
Your big takeaways are this:
1. Create content that encourages conversation. The more the algo thinks people will reply, the more feeds your posts will appear on
2. Respond to people that reply to you. If the algo thinks you'll reply to people, it'll serve up your content more. Engagements by the author are worth 75x more than likes
3. Optimize for profile clicks. The more interesting of a person you are, the more people will want to go to your profile to check you out
4. Don't be toxic. Negative interactions hurt your content 74x more than likes help your content
There's no need to overcomplicate this. Create content that encourages socializing on social media.
Important to note: these weights can be changed at any time, but these are the last known public facing ranks.

Seeing alot of VC shade on the tl. Here’s what they’re really like👇
In the investing world, the VC is considered to be the degen. Their funds are at the highest end of the investor risk spectrum. Fees are typically the highest as well, and there’s usually a hefty performance fee component.
Everything is a clout game for the VC. Number of successful exits matter, even if the terms aren’t ideal. They’ll ride the lore of a single big deal for their entire career, regardless if they were a bit player in it and made no money.
They’re the ones looking for that 100x return. Often more. 1000x is possible in venture. They’re also fine losing 9 out of 10 times. The only thing that matters is an asymmetric payoff.
The typical VC tactic in crypto is to push founders to create tokens with early unlocks for themselves. That’s where the liqudity is and provides the easiest way for them to make money.. They generally don’t care about sustainable tokenomics or even business models, just that price will sustain until they get their tokens in hand.
Important to note that not every VC shares this same cash geab mentality. There are some good ones that work hard with founders, and truly care about a positivr outcome for all. But this sadly seems to be the exception, not the rule.
You’d think some VC investments are head scratchers, as they invest bug into protocols often with no apparent business model or revenue stream. But know that there’s always a method to their madness.
Much of it is akin to throwing rice at the wall and seeing what sticks. If they get their hands in enough pots, one will surely hit big. They chase founders with a strong track record, because winners generally keep winning. Reputation is everything.
Most VCs will go from one extreme sentiment to the other, and sufffer the same fomo and depression as retail traders. They’re humans and not immune to enotional decision making.
Their fund investors also pressure them to deploy capital during market peaks, and then ask for their money back when times are bad. FTX deploying billions of dollars into venture in 2021 certainly created pressure for other funds to chase deals.
When it rains it pours in venture. And when the well runs dry, all goes dark. They tend to be real quiet about their losing bets while the amplify the wins.
It’s very tough to even raise a tiny amount of cash now without a track record. But a couple years ago if you had a pulse and a pretty deck they’d throw money at you and hope for the best.
I’ve met very few that actually care about the tech, or crypto in general. Many lack even elementary knowledge of crypto for instance but front like expert developers on social media and podcasts. They like to talk the talk.
That is, they write and speak well, so they’re believable. That’s the value of a good education, and having the foresight to catch the latest trend before it’s front page news. They’re tech whisperers.
To a shamelessly financially motivated VC, the thought is that if they’re early enough and on the hottest trend, the sustainability wont matter as much.
They’ll typically have multiple opportunities to monetize through either the next funding round at a much higher valuation or through sales of the token. Exit liqudiity is their rule of thumb. However they can get it.
