If there’s one thing I want you to understand, it’s that you can achieve almost anything in life through dedication, hard work, and relentless persistence.
Nothing I’ve achieved came overnight. Nothing was handed to me.
Everything I’ve ever accomplished came from refusing to give up, even when the odds were against me.
In 2017, I lost $150,000 in crypto.
For most people, that would’ve been the end of the road.
For me, it was just the beginning.
I kept learning. I kept improving. I kept showing up, even when nobody was watching.
And in 2024, I became a millionaire.
When I released my Blueprint book, it became a bestseller and the #1 hottest new release within just 48 hours.
Not because I got lucky.
But because I put my heart, time, and energy into something I truly believed in.
Everything I do is built on persistence.
I’ve failed more times than most people realize. I’ve had moments where quitting would’ve been the easiest option.
But I never allowed temporary setbacks to determine my future.
And that’s exactly what I want you to understand.
You don’t need to be the smartest person in the room. You don’t need to have the perfect connections. You don’t need to have everything figured out from day one.
You need discipline. You need patience. You need to believe in yourself when nobody else does.
And above all, you need to keep going when things get difficult.
Because the difference between people who make it and people who don’t often comes down to one thing:
Who is willing to keep going when everyone else gives up?
I’m not sharing my achievements to impress you.
I’m sharing them because I want you to realize what’s possible when you refuse to give up on yourself.
Your current situation doesn’t define your future.
Your failures don’t define your potential.
And where you are today doesn’t determine where you’ll be five years from now.
In 2017, I lost $150,000. In 2024, I became a millionaire.
Seven years can change your entire life.
Imagine what you could achieve if you gave yourself seven years of relentless dedication instead of giving up after seven difficult days.
Never underestimate what persistence can do for someone who refuses to quit.
Your story is still being written.
Make it one worth telling.

Remember how every cycle used to play out?
BTC -> Large caps -> Mid caps -> Low caps -> Memes
And then came the four year bear market.
But things are changing and we're witnessing it right in front of our eyes.
Remember when almost every developer was considered a genius, building something genuinely unique? Many of those projects are worth billions today.
Fast forward to today.
Those developers have been replaced by grifters and streamers who openly admit they're farming the shit out of you.
An insane amount of money has already been extracted from this space and there's a lot more extraction to come.
It's slowly becoming clear that it's almost over.
There are still a handful of legitimate teams building something meaningful, but I'm telling you right now: this might be the last cycle where ordinary people have a real opportunity to make life changing money on chain.
After this, the game as we once knew it will be completely over.
2030.
So if you're still trying to make money on chain, your number one priority should be making sure you don't lose everything in the process.
Know what you're investing in. Do your own research. Stop blindly gambling on whatever some new age streamer is promoting while they're extracting liquidity straight from your pockets.
And most importantly, appreciate the OGs while they're still around.
Because those OGs are going to be missed more than people realize.
They were the ones who genuinely wanted to see everyone win. The ones who spent hours, sometimes days, researching projects, finding opportunities and executing strategies with a long term vision.
They wanted to build communities where everyone could benefit from projects that actually had a future.
Not pump something for a few hours or days, dump on their own followers and move on to the next victim.
We went from building wealth together to becoming exit liquidity for each other.
And that tells you everything you need to know about where this space is heading.

The collapse of Western civilization isn't a failure of the system. It's the system working exactly as intended.

by the way, how does $FEESBACK work? worth repeating for everyone.
feesback exists to incentivise specific behaviour from traders and holders.
so the people who buy, add, and hold collect the fees. the fees come from the ones flipping the chart.
that's why we're here for the long run.
and feesback is designed exactly so that someone who shares the idea and sees where the project is going can hold comfortably.
gngn!

Do NOT buy this Neymar scam coin that is launching today.
The official page, @NjrToken, has changed its username 9 times and deleted 4 posts containing contract addresses.
All of them were rug pulls.
They’re in my DMs offering to pay me to promote this scam, but my soul is NOT for sale.
Shame on every KOL promoting this shit knowing in advance that this is a rug.
block every F tier KOL and news outlet shilling you Neymar scam token launch
they all know it’s a rug but don’t care if their followers lose all their money
as long as they get paid a few 100 $$
because that’s what their reputation is worth
make no mistake, they all have 0 motion
and the token will 100% go to 0 30 sec after launch.

One more thing.
I’m putting my money where my mouth is.
I’ll be setting aside ETH to support genuine builders creating something UNIQUE on Ethereum.
Not another AI slop project. Not some recycled tech garbage. And definitely not the 10,000th launchpad that doesn’t even fucking work.
I’m talking about REAL products. REAL utility. REAL innovation.
Something people actually want to use. Something that brings value to the ecosystem instead of extracting it.
I don’t care about your follower count, your KOL connections or how good your marketing looks.
Show me what you’ve BUILT.
If you’re a genuine dev with an original vision and a working product, pitch me.
I’d rather back one talented builder with conviction than a thousand grifters with connections.
It’s time to reward the people who BUILD, not the people who DUMP.
MAKE THE TRENCHES GREAT AGAIN.
Skull is absolutely right.
The trenches didn’t die because of a lack of liquidity. They died because greed replaced everything that made them worth participating in.
Pump fun gave an entire generation of grifters the perfect playground.
Buy on side wallets. Get your ‘KOL’ friends to shill. Dump on your own followers. Repeat.
And somehow these people convinced themselves they’re traders. You’re not a trader. You’re just extracting money from people who trust you.
The real tragedy is that genuine builders got buried underneath an endless supply of recycled garbage.
I have zero interest in playing that game.
I’ll return when the ETH OGs come back and the market starts rewarding originality, conviction and actual builders again. We saw what that looked like in 2024.
Real communities. Unique ideas. Organic momentum.
Not manufactured hype designed to make five insiders rich at everyone else’s expense.
You can pump the market with liquidity, but you can’t buy back trust.
And without trust, the trenches are nothing but a casino where the house is cheating.
The trenches don’t need saving by kols. They need saving from kols.
Bought robinhood:0x45443a4a7b58ab26a4b4d72616cf36d5aae7188c @HOTDOGonRH
I’ll be accummulating more hotdog-2:native as one of my long term meme bags.
There’s something pretty compelling about robinhood:0x45443a4a7b58ab26a4b4d72616cf36d5aae7188c to me.
You’ve got a community that has basically anchored itself around one simple idea: @Costco hot dog has been $1.50 forever and they’re not letting go until the coin gets there too.
But the bigger thing for me is the staying power.
The chart has been alive for two+ months, the community is still here and the people behind it are still consistently putting in work. In a market where most memes disappear the second momentum dries up, that says a lot.
It also has the OG hotdog angle going for it.
Feels like one of those narratives that’s been sitting in plain sight waiting for attention to catch up.
Happy to back the OG here. 🌭

Things we do for ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 👀😂
Rafay, Saylor, same table, mapping the takeover.
Capital moving onchain, old finance getting a makeover.
No cap in the caption, we’re stacking the playbook.
My dawgs see the future before they know where to look.

This is the state of the trenches, if you’re not careful enough, the casino will take everything you have.
Personally, I’ll be taking a step back from gambling.
Back to the roots and high conviction plays only.
If that means less work and more time with my family, even better.

Episode 6 of Access Granted is live & this one was personal!
I sat down with @brbordallo and @navilarobledo to go back through eight years of building together all the way to @ZIGFinance
We talked about where it started, what changed along the way, what definitely did not go to plan, and why the idea of giving more people access to financial opportunity has stayed at the centre of everything we’ve built with ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 being the most integral part.
Also finally got answers to two important questions.
- How do they stay so fit?
- And who is actually CEO at home? 😂
I may have spent a little too much of the episode trying to create problems between a husband and wife 👀
Watch below.

If you had my notifications on or followed me on FOMO, you’d already be up 300% on solana:jLz71QZfjnZZMLjUaCBw7KmUyftkkNq8NkWi2u9dyap.
But I genuinely believe this could still be the beginning.
Here’s why.
We’ve already seen the incentive flywheel work with projects like $PAID:
Attention gets rewarded.
Influencers get paid.
Distribution increases.
More eyes = more volume.
Now flip that model around.
What if, instead of only paying the big names, you reward the actual community members doing the grinding?
The people posting the memes.
Making TikToks.
Writing Reddit threads.
Pushing clips on YouTube.
Posting on X and Instagram.
Shilling the project every single day.
That’s what $YAP is building.
Imagine you’re a dev launching a memecoin.
You launch through YAP and suddenly you have thousands of people economically incentivized to distribute your coin across every major social platform.
Eyes everywhere.
And the best part?
You don’t need to manually hire, manage or coordinate this shill army.
A percentage of the creator fees automatically flows back to the people generating attention for the project.
So the flywheel becomes:
Dev launches -> community promotes -> attention grows -> volume grows -> fees grow -> promoters get rewarded -> even more promotion.
That’s the part I think the market is still underestimating.
$YAP isn’t just launching memes.
It’s turning distribution itself into an incentive layer.
Great job @useyapdotfun

robinhood:0xeb24a2663af4ee979dcbfe39cb95b5f12d369c4b here is free, imo.
Haven’t seen a dev this impressive with a track record like this in a long time.
Comfortable holding.
Send it.
You only have to due some basic DD on the dev of robinhood:0xeb24a2663af4ee979dcbfe39cb95b5f12d369c4b, @antonkarlovskiy to know this is going much higher.
Worked on some massive projects including Mantle, Google Chrome & MetaMask to name a few.
Now full-time building @Cerebro_RH into an AI behemoth on RH & it's $3m cap.

Calling my cash-cat:native whales to check this out.

AI season is coming and $CEREBRO is literally fueling the entire Robinhood chain with utility.
@vladtenev, builders are entering your chain.

When I wrote this a month ago, people rightly asked what “building” actually meant.
For us, it meant spending the last year connecting the pieces across assets, financial products, infrastructure and distribution, with a clear path from economic activity to revenue and back to ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01
Today, you can see what that work was for. Private credit, tokenized funds, vaults and applications, supported by institutional relationships and distribution. Revenue feeding into buybacks.
This is what I mean by ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 becoming the meta asset of onchain finance, value flowing back to one token from an expanding ecosystem of financial activity.
As liquidity picks up, my conviction is that more of it will seek out businesses that can show where their revenue comes from, how it grows and how their token participates. We’ve spent a long time building around exactly that.
Of course it feels good to see ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 getting attention, we worked for this. But the opportunity ahead is much bigger. The market can change its mood tomorrow.
We’ll still be building the same business, and bringing access to all.
Onwards 🤝
Markets go through cycles. Good and bad, bull and bear. But despite the cycle, building and shipping continues through all of them.
A little over 100 days ago, at the @ZIGChain Summit, we laid out our ambition to build an ecosystem where real financial activity comes onchain, and the value it creates ultimately flows back towards ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01.
Since then, TVL has grown from around $10M to more than $60M, and we revamped the tokenomics of ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 to create a much stronger alignment between the growth of the ecosystem, the revenues we generate and the native token.
But what excites me even more is the activity that explains how we got to that number.
- Laser Digital, the digital asset arm backed by Nomura, invested directly in ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 and is now working with ZIG Markets to build institutional-grade onchain credit, bringing institutional risk frameworks and governance to a pipeline targeting $100M in TVL.
- ADI Foundation takes us deeper into Abu Dhabi’s institutional ecosystem, with a framework focused on regulated stablecoin infrastructure for receivables, SME working capital, private credit and other productive finance use cases.
- Ondo brought tokenized stocks and ETFs into the ecosystem, expanding the range of institutional-grade financial assets available onchain.
- Fuze gives us a route into banks and fintechs, while Fasset connects us to more than 1M users across 125+ countries. We keep saying it, but distribution really is one of the most underestimated parts of bringing finance onchain.
- And alongside all of this, we have continued building with Taurus, Beehive, Gate, HTX, Abhi, DeFa and others across infrastructure, products, liquidity and distribution.
This is why ZIG Markets and our new ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 tokenomics matter so much to us. We never wanted ecosystem growth, institutional adoption, revenue and our token to exist separately. ZIG Markets earns by originating, structuring and distributing financial products, and a portion of that revenue can be used to acquire ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 from the open market. As the financial ecosystem grows, the economic alignment around ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 grows with it.
The market decides when it wants to pay attention. But it doesn't change our job. Which is to keep shipping, keep growing, and make sure ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 has far more behind it than it did last time.

Look, apps like Fomo are fun but use them for what they are, fun. It’s basically become a HODL app where everyone competes to see who can have the biggest PNL, which is great.
But if you want to make serious amounts in a month, you’ve got to use a trading bot on Telegram so you can move quickly.
Make connections, get into some private groups, share alpha with each other and ape in immediately once the CA is shared.
Cove is by far my favorite trading app.
Go try it out and use it:
