everybody has a price and where would it show more clearly than in crypto, a space where almost everyone came for the money i came here for money too. but there's a story i almost never tell i started playing football at 6, in the Dynamo Kyiv academy. then Obolon, where after the club went bankrupt and Obolon-Brovar was created, our graduating year trained and played with the first team. then RVUFK, where i played against loads of pro teams and players who now play for top clubs in Europe at one point i was one of the best in my age group: top scorer of the city league, regional team, a call-up to the Ukraine U15 camp. but right then, at a friendly tournament, going for a ball with Viktor Kovalenko (ex-Ukraine national team), i tore my ACL. after that injury i was never quite the same player i had trials with pro U19–21 clubs, but Ukrainian football back then was rotten with corruption. the two clubs that offered me a contract were regulars in fixed matches, friends who played there told me. so i said no then a friend and i went to Israel with basically no money, hoping to get a trial somewhere. i found an agent on Facebook (my first cold DMs), and he got us a trial at Hapoel Afula. they took us, we went through preseason, started games, signed a contract then the president called us in and asked when we'd change our citizenship. turned out the agent had told the club we were Jewish repatriates. we had no idea. they tore up the contract and we were out on the street i came home, played at amateur level and waited for a chance to try another country, because i'd seen plenty of friends do it. but money problems forced me to quit football and find a way to earn. eventually i ended up in crypto i still think about the chances i lost, and how i didn't put in enough work at maybe the most important moments. no amount of money will change that if your dream is a Rolex, ask yourself whether it was sold to you. i realised happiness is in much simpler things, and you don't need millions for it now my priority is doing what actually brings me joy, and building a new dream that at least touches the one i never got to live for me that's @Form8HQ. fantasy football on solana, where i combined the love for football i've carried for years with crypto, what i've been doing for the last 4 years i'm not here to lecture anyone. i just shared a bit of my life and how i got where i am now. but i'll ask one thing are you really sure you need that money at any price?

you were lied to twice first, when they told you memecoins will make you a millionaire. in a month, 1 wallet out of 414k (0.0002%) made more $1M second, when they told you 97% of pump traders lose money. in this table the "$0–500" row is coloured red, even though it's profit. look at the numbers themselves and 69% are in loss, not 97% - 93% stayed within ±$500 - over $50k: 17 won, 20 lost - over $500: 13.2k wallets won, 14.1k lost so yes, most people still lose on memecoins, and you almost certainly won't become a millionaire, but reality is way more boring than headlines what if you were actually lied to three times?

small money, but honest money second bounty on Superteam Earn, @Form8HQ again @SuperteamUKR ideathon: 41 ideas for the Colosseum hackathon - no callouts - no rugs - no paid shilling. just building something real and getting paid for it superteam is still a cheat code

hey, @solana you already have 82M Galaxy holders on your network what about the 1.45B people who watch the Premier League? > 13M+ of them already play Fantasy Premier League > 60K even pay for tools to play better but most have almost no shot at real rewards @Form8HQ fixes that: fantasy football on solana where the managers themselves build the USDC rewards pool every gameweek, without even noticing the blockchain the first gameweek is settled, rewards claimed and next one is LIVE

2 months ago i started rebuilding @Form8HQ almost from scratch right in front of you, new name, new logo, the move to @solana. today the first gameweek kicked off: 20 managers, 100 USDC in pool. thanks to everyone who helped pick the name, gave me tons of feedback and supported the project's page. without you this would've been way harder. this is just the start, there's still a long road ahead to really make it.

co-sign every word. you, @solana_sailor, @SolanaSensei and @FabianoSolana are driving solana on CT, and every bit of that respect is earned let me add my story. for 2+ years i was building on another chain, and then it basically turned its back on the community and small builders so i had to choose where to go next i looked at the long term, not quick hype, and solana won on every criterion, especially because of local @SuperteamUKR because superteam is a cheat code. in a few months i got more support from them than on my whole previous journey that said, i'm not devaluing that time. it was necessary, and the best things i took from it are the people and the skills but @solana really is the best place - for small and big builders - for degens - for communities - for me - for form8

was about to complain that while normal people are at Solana Summit in Singapore, I’m spending another full day on minor addons, payloads, tiny UI fixes, and a @colosseum pitch deck. then @SolanaGaming followed @Form8HQ, so it’s not for nothing. keep building. celebrate the small wins.

look who we have here feels like a good moment to say thank you to Superteam Ukraine. your team has helped us a lot in making @Form8HQ transition to @solana as smooth as possible, and you continue to provide strong support as we build and grow. hopefully next time i’ll be joining you at the office

i saw 53 tabs open in @Bumble_9 browser yesterday, so you’re definitely not the only one like that, but i don’t see a form8 tab. that needs to change
