There hasn't been a sad time to be in Crypto like this time and it pains me so much.
There's a huge extraction going on and Only a few people are winning, we can pretend about this but data says it.
When Doge, Shiba, Floki and other memecoins did well in 2021, so many people benefitted and got rich.
Even in 2024, the market was way better than what it is today. Today, a coin goes to $100m and just a few people benefits because they bundled it and afterwards, they slowly rug and dump everything at once. Look at the crap happening with Kimchi and Pumpfun.
If you are not getting insider information, it's almost impossible to win in this current market.
We were complaining of pumpfun making it easier to create memecoins as the problem and boom, new launchpads pops up just to come extract theirs.
Millions of coins get created every month, no one believes in holding anymore, since there's always new coins, make profit and move to the next.
At this point, if nothing is done, this industry will keep going down.
I'm not complaining, I have always had my ways around the market but I'm scared of the broader users in crypto, most are leaving, this industry isn't going to get better if we continue like this.
Most people screaming bull market, I promise you, it's never going to look like what you use to know, it's going to be a selective bull market, few coins pump and your chance to get in is slim. You will only buy when insiders are done and then a huge red candle because insiders have made tons of money.
Something has to be done otherwise this industry turns to a joke.

You would have peace when you realize life is a series of never ending battles, if you desire anything out of life , you must fight to have it and after having it you must wake up everyday and show the universe why you deserve it, rent is due every day.

Nigeria desperately needs more founder development programmes like Superteam Nigeria.
Just like Andela, but with communities built around discovering, training, and creating opportunities for early-stage African builders.
This will be far more impactful in the long term.

Looking back now, I now see why Americans appreciate even $20 given to them.
Money holds weight no matter the amount. It’s so easy to lose track of how valuable money can be when you’re on a lot.

Depending on who you talk to, our industry growing up is either doom or glory.
We are finally globally relevant and that necessarily means we are less insular.
Because this industry was created by the stubborn resolute and unwavering conviction of contrarians, misfits, and fringe actors, we relished in the pirate mindset. We loved our insularity. (Tbh, I miss it too at times).
The “web3” thesis where programmable blockchains are supposed to be decentralized computing infrastructure for many apps ultimately incinerated billions of dollars of venture capital because it led tech minded builders and their investors to prioritize app sovereignty over unified liquidity. This was wrong on first principles.
As it turns out, blockchain has and always will be financial infrastructure. Finance superpowered by tech and programmability. Decentralization, neutrality, and censorship resistance have never been more important.
Whether this excites you going forward depends on whether you’re more west coast or east coast; San Francisco or New York; more tech or finance minded.
From the west coast crowd, I often hear disappointment (“oh in the end blockchain is only about finance?! That’s it?”)
I couldn’t be more excited, and I think the mandate has never been more clear and also attainable.
Capital formation isn’t an abstract thing that bankers do when you are ready to IPO.
Capital formation enables innovation. It allows us to take big bets on the future. Liquid markets enable capital formation. Over the long term, there can not be a larger global capital market than the internet capital market. The biggest market to possibly unify is that of people on the internet who use money.
Like all things the internet has ever touched, the online/onchain experience is never the same as the pre internet experience. Just as we needed network engineers to imagine and build blockchain networks, we need consumer tech minds to complement finance minds to deliver new ways of accessing finance.
This is not and has never been a small vision for blockchain. In fact, I would argue that it’s a core intent of a “peer to peer electronic cash network.”
We welcome those who want to double down on finance for the internet to come join the Solana ecosystem and make good on this mission.
I think it’s fine and even great that the risk-on talent from blockchain is now expanding new frontiers away from blockchain. New frontiers are only ever explored by those with stubborn resolute unwavering conviction.
My take on a16z crypto moving into frontier tech.
First, I'll always be grateful to a16z for helping validate the space back in 2013 when Chris Dixon led their investment into Coinbase, which got me even more excited about crypto.
But the final nail in the coffin for my previous career, and what ultimately pushed me to pivot my entire career into Bitcoin, was Marc Andreessen's 2014 NYT oped, Why Bitcoin Matters. If you haven't read it, suggest reading it. It's still important to this day.
A lot of people have probably forgotten, but in those days we were all just looking for external validation. Very few institutions or funds were willing to publicly endorse crypto, and two of the funds that took a real brand risk were a16z and USV.
Since then, we've seen some of the most incredible talent enter the space and fundamentally reshaped what crypto is today.
You can actually argue that a lot of the AI infrastructure development we're seeing today wouldn't be where it is without Bitcoin mining infrastructure and the talent that flowed from crypto into AI. There is a real connection between the two industries that I don't think gets enough credit.
Now, moving from crypto into frontier tech, whether that's robotics, bio, AI, energy, compute etc just means to me that the talent and muscle we developed building crypto over the past decade can now be used to build across all of frontier tech.
We spent years building something that was nascent, misunderstood, and in many cases hated by the world. We developed thick skin, continued investing and building, and had to constantly show the world why this tech mattered. Even during thanksgiving dinners.
And I think that makes us uniquely suited to build frontier tech.
An example is data centers. Today, people and governments are increasingly pushing back against them. Well, people and governments hated crypto too, but we continued to invest and build, and now almost all of trad finance is embracing crypto in some capacity.
I believe frontier tech represents the next generation of pirates in technology. People willing to build things that are nascent, misunderstood, and sometimes hated by the world.
We're going to be hated and loved along the way, but we're going to keep building cool shit that the world hasn't recognized the importance of yet.
And crypto taught me that the world usually doesn't recognize the importance of new tech until years later which is why I stay close to talent

“As it turns out, blockchain has and always will be financial infrastructure.”
This is it!
The distinction between blockchain companies and fintech companies is disappearing. If you’re working in the blockchain space, you’re increasingly working in fintech, whether you realise it or not.
The rise of stablecoins, cross-border payments, remittances, and tokenised financial assets has accelerated blockchain's evolution into a new layer of global financial infrastructure, facilitating cross-border money movement and transaction settlement.

every wednesday (i.e. tomorrow), a bunch of us marketers in the space get together to talk, rant, rave all things crypto marketing.
the goal here is to provide a safe space for people to talk about whatever they want, get the help they need and or simply come and listen to learn from others also in the same space.
so if this is something you’d like to join then i’d love for you to come and check it out (link in the post below, it's free also).

Gas fees shouldn’t stop your transaction.
With Get Gas on Bitget Wallet, you can top up a prepaid gas balance using stablecoins or other supported tokens, then use that balance to pay gas fees across multiple chains.
No need to keep ETH, SOL, or other native tokens sitting in your wallet just to make a transaction.
Top up once. Get gas when you need it.
A fool in motion will sometimes beat a genius at rest...
Ultimately, it's just a numbers game sometimes.
