“Buy the fear,” they say. I now own 100% of @ordinalgenesis after acquiring the final 50% stake. Full control means full throttle: faster builds, sharper focus, maximum efficiency.

Taking my first long break since the inception of Ordinals, roughly 1,327 days ago. See you in a month In the meantime, follow @HeftFinance.

If you’re not doing what loracle is doing are you even working for your bags?

Never forget

Pumpfun > FOMO

The biggest issue with most projects I see today is the UI and UX. Thinking of doing a semi daily series where I redesign whole projects and open-source it. Obviously I’m no expert, and I’m all for shipping fast rather than perfect, but the amount of UI slop from technical projects is sad.

More omni-chain projects, good! Different chains are built for different things. Ordinals has a place in the grand scheme of things, but so does L2s, Solana and so on. I don't think we should restrict artist/founders/projects in any shape or form from participating in other things. If you think ordinals is the superior place for jpegs you're simply wrong. Each chain has their own unique use.

Can't make this shit up

For a long time, especially when I started building all this stuff, I and most people I talked to were stuck in the mindset of "You just have to keep working on the same thing, if you don't want to be called a rugger and lose all your built up reputation." Now that I'm older, I see that its not always that black and white. Things can fail, you can delegate your older projects/app, revenue is not enough to support your vision, you lose interest, market tanks etc. There are a million of reasons why you would either move away from a project you've made or explore other ventures. Yes there are some people that are serial ruggers, but i think its fairly easy to see the difference between endless slop to rug and products/founders that try to make things work. My main issue is how easy we denounce someone as a rugger. There is absolutely nothing wrong in trying to a) make money b) trying out new ideas. I really do not see why people should be punished to do so. No one is forcing anyone to spend money on said products, and if it doesn't work it doesn't work. It's a calculated risk the customer has to calculate without retroactively blaming a founder/product. Participants in the space always dunk on people that try and fail, every single time. It's extremely, and I mean extremely disheartening to see people try multiple times and then just getting shit on because the majority opinion is that he's a rugger. I think most people find it acceptable to make new things, experiment and so on. The reality is that the general TL and negative comments are made by low iq individuals, but that's not the politically correct opinion. Time and time again it proves to be the correct opinion. A good example is @SOLsesame, I don't know him personally but I've been following him for a while. He tried and failed multiple times. You can say whatever you want about him, but once he found the winning product @nfwdotfun him and the team has been shipping non-stop. More people should take inspiration from that team and just stop giving a fuck and making things they want to. End of rant

Looking back at the $ME TGE All you had to do was to press the sell button. Instead people tried to game the staking and failed. Imagine suing because you got farmed and didn't have the brain to sell. If price went up no one would care. No crying in the casino

First day back in @taprootalpha

Posting $650 P/L like it’s $65k, we’re really in a recession

Used @EmblemVault for the first time a couple of years ago. Very happy to see them getting some more recognition over the last few months. Around 2023 we were minting byte perfect BAYCs on ordinals. Mind you, one mint was about $100-300, depending on blocks. Ordinal genesis was taking their first steps, and we were dirt poor students still in highschool. I made the decision to pour our whole treasury of a few thousand dollars to mint apes for all of it. The first ones we minted sold instantly at 2-3x, at this point it felt like we discovered some sort of infinite money glitch. Then there was this new marketplace, we didn’t quite understand it, but in order to use it we had to wrap our apes. Sure, I as the «tech lead» (I had no idea what I was doing) started wrapping and selling them. Wrapping the apes felt like a whole operation itself lol. Anyways, we 2-3x our treasury in a day and I got a new appreciation for how fast-moving and innovating emblem vault is.
