I’ve been quiet for a while.
Spent the last couple of years deep in crypto, but now looking beyond one market. Exploring stock trading & selling puts.
Sharing strategies, risks & real lessons-no easy money promises, just an honest process.

This afternoon, Senate Democrats proved they were never truly serious about protecting consumers and preserving American leadership. I sat at the table with Senate Democrats working in good faith to get this done while they played games.
For over a year, they presented demands and the second we met them, they made new demands and moved the goal posts. Today they voted against real limitations on politicians’ personal crypto investments. They voted against protecting American consumers from the scammers and fraudsters this bill would have shut down. They voted against American leadership, and handed China and every one of our foreign competitors exactly what they wanted. Democrats chose politics over the American people—again. That’s not leadership on their part, that’s surrender to their radical, socialist base.
The once-proud Democratic party is anti-consumer and pro-illicit finance, anti-ethics, anti-free enterprise, anti-worker, anti-livable wage jobs, and pro-socialism. The Democrats are now anti-American. Sad!
Looking for recommendations.
Who are the best YouTube creators, X accounts, newsletters, or podcasts that offer paid promotions for crypto startups?
Building on Base and looking to get in front of real crypto users. Any recommendations are appreciated. 🙏

Market bottoms aren’t found — they’re formed.
Not by good news or valuations, but when forced sellers are finished and time replaces panic.
It feels like most who needed to sell already have. We’re likely much closer to the bottom than most think.

Crypto got everything it wanted - ETFs, adoption, legitimacy - and prices are still down.
We valued casino flow like recurring software revenue.
“Dear LPs, we outperformed ETH… and still lost 80% of the fund.”

TBH this is the easiest bear market I've ever seen.
Seems like most of you have forgotten what 2022 was like. Luna collapsing, then 3AC, then FTX, then Genesis, BlockFi, Axie, NFTs--pretty much everything felt like a house of cards.
And then after all that stuff collapsed, the BANKS collapsed, stablecoins depegged, Gary Gensler and the president tried to destroy almost every company in the industry--I really wasn't sure how much of this stuff was going to survive.
Compared to that? This is breezy.
Prices have gone down, yeah whatever. Fundamentals are great. Crypto is working.
So relax, get something to eat. Lock in. We'll be fine.
Since the second half of last year, a lot of my friends(OGs in crypto) left crypto, as they started to doubt their original belief in crypto/blockchain/Web3 like do projects really create value to the world, what’s profit market fit, only speculations like meme/perp/prediction projects survive in this cycle, do web3 projects like infra/social really have values?
Right now, it’s almost the toughest mode for startups, vcs, traders and users. Narrative play is not working, and hot topics shift every week. Organic liquidity is drained to lower and lower on cex and dex. Even without listing fees, few ppl want to buy new/old tokens. Market manipulators create pump and dump with leveraged perp to operate small cap or old coins every day.
We can always say defi or trading is the only pmf for crypto/blockchain. But OGs and builders like @VitalikButerin @pmarca always paint a bigger vision of world computer/web3 to not replace but at least build a better internet or crypto eat the world.
With llms like @OpenAI @claudeai, not just crypto but all industries are facing a 100-1000 to 1 problem: one experienced person can do 100-1000 ppl’s job with llm’s help. New tools and products are releasing too fast and will be faster for the next 1-2 years. Not just in crypto but in web2, tech and engineering start to become admin work(assigning tasks to llms to complete).
No matter for vcs and startups, keep pivoting and shipping is the only way out, until can dominate the particular sector. Staying relevant is the easy to say but hard and have to achieve to survive in this new meta.
My Ph.D. advisor always says persistence pays off. Hope we can win this uphill battle. To friends, to ogs, to builders, to dreamers, to crypto.
