This is going to be a long post for a specific audience. If you're in crypto or want to just learn more about what I'm working on, I'll try to make this worth your time
First, I'll say that it makes me a little nervous to write this. Price bad, people on edge, I see how hostile the feed has been towards anyone willing to share an opinion. Yet I'm choosing to throw my hat in the ring, give the market something to chew on, and take a chance on a personally exciting vision
That said, here's what I'm doing. I'm building a world I actually want to hang out in and think a lot of people would be stoked to be a part of as well. The world centers around the concept of Yourself. Believing in Yourself. Betting on Yourself. Rejecting the rampant pessimism and misery that stops you from being the most confident version of Yourself
The world will be built as such. Daily tweets to propagate the ideas, weekly emails to reinforce the ideas, monthly giveaways to reward commitment to the ideas, all for the benefit of Yourself. The goal is to create a perpetually overflowing well of positive energy for anyone to freely tap into and share, try to contribute some real value to the space, and hopefully provide people with something to believe in again
Because at the end of the day, what else is worthy of believing in more than your literal own potential? Not the chain's, the launchpad's, the KOL's, the whoever's potential to save you. Self belief is and always was the answer, and I think that by attaching a digital asset to the potential for Yourself to be great, this digital asset can act as an incredible proxy for that self belief
You decide to invest in Yourself. Now you have actual skin in the game. And because your confidence in Yourself can appreciate, this incentivizes you to actually commit to the process of changing your life with a level of focus and intent that you wouldn't have showcased had you not put any of your emotional capital at risk
You're in. Immerse yourself into the world. Take advantage of the well. There will always be a tweet, email, conversation to perfectly meet you wherever you are in your journey. Use the alpha to compound your self belief. Start the business, book the flight, ask out the girl, send the message, do the thing that can change it all. Write your own story, run your own race, focus on your own relationship with Yourself
How undervalued is your self belief at any given time? Is there ever a limit to how high your true potential can be? Can planting an early seed of self conviction when there's doom in the air eventually bear fruit when the sun inevitably shines again? I'm interested in finding out. Bet on Yourself if you are too
Everything is forever cooked and it's simply the end of the world as we know it so no better time to sneak this announcement onto the feed. Anyways I'm going to do a thing again. This time with a much clearer vision
I've been lowkey dropping clues all week. But tldr, I believe I'm singularly positioned to introduce a uniquely one of one idea to the world. One that can't really be compared to anything else that exists at the moment, which not only gives me the opportunity to shape the narrative myself but also gives the market something newly refreshing to rally behind
Some of you already know what I'm talking about and were around for v1. Many learnings, much more to say, and I'll give you my entire bull case this month across multiple tweets so all of this will eventually make sense and be easier to conceptualize
But for now, interpret any of this how you will, and I hope that me deciding to bet on myself here will not only end up giving some of you a reason to bet on $yourself too, but also make you realize that the best time to do it is always when you're most afraid of how you'll be perceived

Every week, I'm going to package 7 of my most impactful tweets and send them out in a single batch to the email list on Monday mornings. The idea is to give you one core message to internalize for each day of the week. 365 lessons per year on how to believe in and bet on yourself. This will be my "book" that I write and it will be completely free

The greatest form of security ironically comes from not factoring security into the equation. Instead, simply pursue things that make you come alive. Choose the job, build the business, etc that actually gives you energy and doesn't feel like an obligation
Society will emphasize ideas like stability and what not but the problem is it no longer exists in the new world. In the short term, you may feel smart for latching onto the "hot industry" or whatever some listicle told you was "recession proof"
But the biggest risk here is simply what if society completely changes. What if technology completely changes. What if you can't predict what the next 1, 3, 5, 10 years are going to look like. What if what happened to computer science happens to whatever you're in
What do you do? What everyone has to do. Adapt. In a reality where society happens to do a 180 on whatever you decided to pursue, compare these two scenarios. You chose a job because Google told you it had "high demand" and was "top 3 most popular" vs you did it because it fascinated you and gets you into flow state
You started a "teach businesses how to implement AI" business because Twitter told you it was going to get you out of the permanent underclass vs you did it because you were obsessed with the tech and was already spending hours of your own time helping others automate workflows just because it was so fun
Which scenario will shield you from the possibility of some major development happening before your eyes and forcing you to adapt? Neither. But if you love what you do and don't see it as a means to an end, the nuance is that you're not really freaking out when you're required to adapt. That's your edge
Ok you might need to pivot industries or functions. You might need to revamp your entire marketing strategy. Uncomfortable but dude you'll figure it out. Why wouldn't you. Despite the uncertainty, why wouldn't you be excited about figuring out how to apply your existing passion for the craft in a more creative way. Why wouldn't you look forward to the opportunity to sharpen more skills and beat a new level in the game you've always enjoyed playing
Compare this to you playing a game for purely practical reasons. Oh God if my job no longer exists the past 5 years would have been all for nothing. Ugh customers are getting smarter I have to find some other way to convince them they're dumb. I have to put in so much more work now to learn new strategies. I'm forced to start over fml it's going to be such a grind
Immerse yourself into the thing for the thing itself, you'll always be able to find clarity if the thing changes form. Doesn't matter what the thing is, as long as it fills you with energy. No endless motivation tactics needed. Yes the game will change, as it should. But it's just new levels to the game. You won't stop playing. People don't stop playing games that are fun
Stay in the game and you always win, regardless of how how the game progresses. Choose the game that gives you genuine presence from the start and adapting to it is no longer seen as a threat. "This is just my thing man." There's your security. "When I believe in what I do, I believe in myself to always be able to figure it out"
