Big words don’t make your brand look smart A lot of brands here slap a tagline on their profile that they think sounds impressive, and all it does is confuse everyone reading it Bad copy: “Powering the next generation of cross-chain portfolio intelligence” Good copy: “See everything you hold across your crypto wallets in one place” If you’ve built a tool that lets people track all their wallets in one place, just say that Now someone can actually understand what you’re offering without having to ask in the replies or dig deeper You spend so much time trying to get people to your page, then make them work to figure out why they should care Tell them what the product does and how it helps them If a normal person can't tell what you do in five seconds, rewrite it

Brands will spend months onboarding someone who has never used their product Meanwhile there’s a talented person in their community who understands the brand, knows the audience and has been helping for free Your next hire could already be in your community

I promise you, putting your head down and staying out of the bullsh*t here will do you a lot of good Mute whoever you need to, limit your scrolling and actually give yourself a chance to focus Greatness is within your reach, if you block out the noise

I don’t think we talk enough about how rough it's going to get for a lot of people A lot of us use AI daily, try the new stuff and have some good understanding of it I'd like to think that puts us in a better position, but I wouldn't assume it makes any of us safe either What worries me is people who haven't even started, and maybe somewhat dislike AI Imagine spending years getting good at your job, only to be told the company no longer needs you (this is about to become very common) You don't have to love AI, but please spend some time understanding what it can do in your line of work
“AI is replacing human force” is no longer a theory @Barclays is cutting 5,000 people- about 5% of the whole bank Around 60% of them are support roles, & developers are on the list The same people told to learn to code so AI wouldn’t replace them The thing is Barclays isn’t even struggling. £2.8B profit this quarter, up 12%, plus a £500M share buyback the same morning We’re cooked.

Great points also by @R2D2zen xitter.cf/R2D2zen/status/2113190… As he said, transition will be painful for some, especially for those who do not adapt
Having worked at Barclays Bank for almost a decade, I see this as a natural evolution of the industry. You do not need thousands of people manually updating spreadsheets, CRMs, procedures and processes when technology can automate much of that work. Bank back offices employ thousands of people, and many of these roles will inevitably change. Yes, some jobs will disappear. But new roles will emerge in fields that do not yet exist or that we are only beginning to understand. We saw similar shifts when email and digital banking transformed the industry. The transition will be painful for some, especially those who do not adapt. But for those who do, AI represents a massive opportunity.

It's never been a better time to focus on yourself Cut down on the scrolling and give yourself something to work on that you're actually excited about There's so much you can try with AI now, even if you start with a small tool that makes your own work easier Or take an idea that you've had sitting in your notes and finally see if you can make it work There are still teams in crypto looking for help and plenty of things people complain about that someone could build a solution for Pick something and give it a few hours of proper attention each week Never been a better time to be a builder tbh

Talking about onboarding the masses to crypto between your fifth and sixth argument of the day is crazy Someone gets curious about crypto, decides to jump on here and sees the same people arguing over the most stupid things You think they’re looking at the timeline and wanting to get involved? We know there are good people and opportunities here because we’ve been around long enough to find them Someone seeing this space for the first time doesn’t know any of that They just see how you’re treating each other Start with ourselves first

You'd think this was easy money from the posts you've seen on the timeline A big W gets shared everywhere, but you barely hear from the people losing money trying to hit the same thing Then you'll see five wallets spending this much and every single one is down Easy to say “that could have been me” about the winner Could have been you in this screenshot too
5 pumpfun wallets spent $1M+ ripping packs all 5 are in loss not everyone got a rolex

I see people grind insane hours in the hope of making it For their sake, I really hope they do There's a lot of good people here finishing work, sorting out irl responsibilities then getting back to the laptop to continue grinding I respect it a lot You can tell how badly someone wants to improve their situation by the effort they're putting in If you're reading this, I hope you win

We forget how blessed we really are in crypto You make an extra $1,000 and immediately start thinking it’s nothing because of what other people are posting Someone else out there is trying to work out how many extra hours they need just to cover the rent Or taking a second job when they barely get time with their family as it is I think we forget about that side of life when we spend too much time here Having an opportunity to earn through something you’re good at is a blessing Be grateful

Can we talk about how downhill CT is going? The amount of bullsh*t and drama you have to scroll through every day is exhausting People drag the same stuff out for days because it’s doing numbers, on top of it, everyone else jumps in with a take nobody asked for There’s still plenty worth being here for, but for it to feel like that, curating your feed is very important If you want to be a winner here amongst others, surround yourself with such

Some people here have an insane amount of ego for how little work they do They clearly don’t care about what they’re sending over, then get rude when someone asks for changes How can some people be proud to do half a job? There are people here desperate for an opportunity while others have a good gig and don't care about it enough If you’re putting in no effort and you’re difficult to work with, don’t be surprised when they stop working with you The standard is low in this space as it is, but trust me when I say there are good people here that can replace you and will work harder than you

Finding a good intern to run your socials ain’t easy You want someone who understands your audience and knows which trends fit the brand and which ones to leave alone It’s painful watching your socials guy force it when they simply don't need to A post can do numbers and still make your brand look desperate and painful There’s a lot more to running socials than baiting people into giving you a few views Study the few accounts that get it right, on X and other socials included I don’t even need to drop the @'s

Very proud of my brother StarPlatinum When you're grinding this hard and making money, never forget how many lives you can change with it Starting with those closest to you first who sacrificed everything for you God is great

Big respect to Adam He's one of the few people here willing to put that much behind a project he wants to see succeed Believes and understands the vision from a mile away Penguins aren't going anywhere 🐧
This weekend I wanted to support one of my favorite collections during a difficult time. Decided to buy 117 Pudgy Penguins on chain to spread confidence for the community I have grown to love. Wanted to support this OG project that’s bringing happiness to many. The Huddle will stay strong. Return to Pudgy Penguins.

There are so many bad actors in this space, and very few ever get exposed When one finally does, it's good to see the tables turn The issue is people still forget a week later and continue following, engaging, etc like nothing happened Make it make sense
