Final day at The Block today. Was a hell of a ride.

Thanks to everyone who supported me with articles, podcasts, revenue deals over the years 🙏 really appreciate it

Gonna take a few months off to detox from crypto and walk my puppy. Lfg 🫡

had this horrible thought that some people are going to use chatgpt for wedding vows

"This is not just a marriage, it's actually a spiritual connection — between body, mind, and spirit."

[Tim Copeland @Timccopeland]

@JolyOnChain Thought about that but then I realised I wanted her to say yes

[Tim Copeland @Timccopeland]

bribed the gf with a shiny rock to spend life with me

What's easier to freeze, cash or stables?

[Squiggly Hair Shanks @redhairshanks86]

the majority of whales is already partly out of the crypto market

in the old days, we had the true believers: people literally held 100% of their networth in btc or eth with only enough cash to cover living expenses. they truly believed in their bags and just wanted to stack more btc and eth

these times are definitely over today

i hardly meet someone who made it in crypto who hasn’t diversified part or even most their holdings out of crypto.

crypto is an asset that took so many of us from 0 to 1. but once you are at 1, you are just irresponsible if you are still 100% invested in an asset that already 100 - 1000xed. instead, most my friends either hold stocks, bought houses or did some private equity deals. not so much vc, i know few guys who made good money on early stage vc deals, most my friends got burned there

my message is this:

crypto was a large scale transfer of wealth

it took money from the pocket of unprofessional gamblers and retail and distributed it in the pockets of crypto founders, vcs, crypto infra companies like cexs, mms, etc and a few lucky investors/traders

and they all took the money and used it to upgrade their lifestyle, bought financial freedom and they do not plan to give it back to retail

at the end of the day, 0.01% of all crypto companied ever created have actual utility. it’s basically only tokenisation of real assets that have 24/7 crossborder liquidity via dexes and stablecoins. the rest is pretty much useless

but at least some of us got rich along the way

it might come back, it might not, i don’t know but i do know one thing:

there is so much opportunity out there and restricting yourself to crypto is not a good strategy

[Tim Copeland @Timccopeland]

A few weeks out from working in crypto and starting to feel moments of happiness coming back

Feels good man

Wondering about tokenizing my puppy's weight cos it's literally up only for the next year

If you had just invested $8,700 in the S&P instead you'd be way better off

- finance bros, probably

[shafu @shafu0x]

I spent $8,700 on first dates after moving to NY a year and a half ago. Here is what I learned.

50 first dates, 10 second dates, 1 girlfriend (we've been together for 4 months now). All from Hinge. An average of $174 per date.

Looking back I could have done a better job at filtering. Goal was always a long term relationship. Best filter was a call before the date (highly recommend that actually). Can save both of you a lot of time. And sets the expectations right.

All women were between 25-32. I'm 30 years old. You can definitely find the love of your life on the apps. I spent most of my time in the office so its very hard for me to meet women irl. I'm also not really a bars/club guy.

I was looking for a very specific person. Similar cultural/religious background. Just get Hinge pro or whatever its called. Makes it easier to filter and gives you a boost.

Kinda hard to say but true. If you are a man below 50% in looks/status or whatever you want to call it you are going to have a hard time. there are just more men than women on the apps (see the report). Set your expectations accordingly.

The height thing is true. I'm 6'1 so it was not a problem for me. But heard this complaint from every single guy under 6 feet.

Also dating is expensive. Especially in NY. Maybe just do drinks or something. I always did dinners and insisted on paying for them (maybe an egyptian thing).

Out of the 50 first dates, I probably liked 20. 10 liked me back. One girl I dated for 3 months but it turned out it was not a long term match. Great girl though!

I was very lucky I guess but I never had an awkward experience (definitely more risky for a girl). Actually had some really interesting conversations even if we both knew this would not be a romantic match.

kinda weird to say but online dating is a funnel. you have to meet people to figure out what you like and what you dont like.

took me around 50 tries to find my current girlfriend. you can see the full report in the tweet below.

@shynxbt I remember those years of holding ETH

For a while it was acquire as much as you can and look to the future.

Alas the future was shit

[Tim Copeland @Timccopeland]

AI needs to get over saying how something "actually" works or "actually" matters 🙄

[Tim Copeland @Timccopeland]

@mdudas Did some research on this: https://t.co/V6nFr1C5TH

[Tim Copeland @Timccopeland]

okay so there's a second wave of bots following new crypto accounts

first wave was media, now it's high profile people

(a thread, remember threads?)
