Whether you're building a startup or simply trying to achieve your life goals, one thing will always remain true.

If you're starting out on this journey, begin by building a network of like-minded people who can assist you along the way.

Develop relationships by offering value and always wait for the right moment to make that life-changing request.

So when you come to that bridge, you'll have your own black book and can call upon those in your network.

This could often be the difference between:

Struggling and Achieving your goals!

The world is full of fluffers and transactional tourists.

It's up to you whom you choose to associate with.

P.S. There's nothing wrong with being a fluffer; a job is a job.
If you know, you know.

Most Web3 brands blend into the wallpaper of the internet.

But the ones we remember?

The ones we keep coming back to?

They've mastered the art of the story.

Here's how you too can:

First, understand this…

Your brand isn't what you say it is. It's the stories others tell about you.

And if you want those stories to be unforgettable, you must give your audience a reason to care.

How?

By infusing your content with 3 key elements:

1. Emotion

2. Authenticity

3. Vulnerability

Weave these elements into every piece of content you create, every story you tell.

Do it consistently, and something remarkable will happen:

→ Your audience will start seeing themselves in your brand.

→ They'll start to feel a sense of kinship, of shared identity.

And that bond?

It's unbreakable.

So, if you want your brand to stand out, to endure, to become unforgettable?

→ Master the art of the story.

Infuse it with authenticity, vulnerability, and deep, unshakable emotion.

That's how you rise above the noise.

That's how you build a brand people can't help but talk about.

Founder's have the hardest job in web3.

Imagine this...

You work for months (maybe years) on your idea.

Your family and friends have even invested.

You're finally ready to launch.

Then:

– The marketing agency scams you.
– The influencers you hired? They were fake.
– The market tanks, taking your chart along with it.
– The market maker you hired? They sell everything.
– You pump, your team makes money, then they leave.
– You think you're listing on a CEX, but it's a fake agent.
– You want to list on CMC? Pay black market (listing agent).
– The dev company? They take off with your entire code base.

I've seen or experienced every item above.

Any founder building in web3 has my utmost respect.

My best piece of advice?

Take your time, carefully curate your network.

It's all about partnering with the right people.

Here are some reasons why people might find Bitcoin useful:

- A woman in Afghanistan might need it because she can't open a regular bank account due to her gender, leaving her stuck.
- Someone from Ukraine might use it when they're escaping a war zone, as their money might not be accepted in other countries.
- Others might use it to support causes that their bank or government doesn't approve of.
- Some might turn to Bitcoin when they notice shady practices in the stock market, like fake shares being created.
- People might also use Bitcoin if they feel their government is becoming too controlling or corrupt.
- And there are those who worry about economic instability, like when banks fail or government debt gets out of control.
- People might also use Bitcoin if they feel their freedom or privacy is being threatened, or if they want to protest peacefully against unfair systems.
- They might prefer Bitcoin because it's not tied to any government, unlike traditional money which can lose its value over time.
- Others might see Bitcoin as a way to avoid the costs and conflicts that come with having a single global currency.
- And finally, some might simply like Bitcoin because it gives them more control over their own money and lives.
In short, people turn to Bitcoin for a variety of reasons, from practical needs to philosophical beliefs.

My top five mistakes as a web3 founder?

Holding nothing back...

1) $10.5MM in rewards to community/holders.

We didn't expect to go to $200MM and tokens became extremely valuable.

Lesson: Calculate everything based on future scale.

2) Holding too much crypto on our balance sheet.

When the bear market set in, we lost an untold amount of money.

Lesson: Convert some of it to stables. Don't be greedy.

3) Trusting wrong co-founders

After our success? They simply stopped working or showing up.

Lesson: Be extremely careful who you partner with

4) Having a huge private sale

Even our "Friends" dumped on us.

Lesson: Plan for everyone to sell and make profit

5) Repeatedly spending on the same marketing

Eventually, it'll stop working due to "diminishing returns"

Lesson: Never go all in. Keep mixing it up.

Some have asked me where I get the information I speak about.

It's from a place of an immense amount of pain 😂

Bitcoin = $1k. First they ignore you.

Bitcoin = $10k. Then they laugh at you.

Bitcoin = $100k. Then they fight you.

Bitcoin = $1M. Then you win.

We’re at the fight you stage.

Governments will try with all their might to restrict you from having money that is free from their control.

Starting a startup is as easy as 1-2-3! Hooray!

Only, there are a few challenges they don't tell you about:

- Finding a real pain point that people face
- Finding a Co-Founder with complementary skills
- Crafting a compelling story and raising funds from VCs
- Working 24/7/365 without days off to make things work
- Hiring other talented people and being a good leader for them 
- Going through endless cycles of hopelessness and elation over time
- Finding early users and iterating the MVP until you hit product market fit
- Not giving up when everybody else has given up on you during dire times

Starting a startup may seem easy.

But it's an incredibly hard job.

Often taking a huge toll on Founders.

At idea stage, pedigree wins.
At MVP stage, early PMF sign wins.
At early product stage, growth wins.
At growing product stage, rate of growth wins.
At scaling usage, retention wins.
At good retention, monetization wins.
At post monetization stage, unit economics wins.

…have rarely seen this sequence break over the long run.

In the last few days we’ve seen:

-> Biden’s 44% cap gains tax proposal.

-> Biden’s 25% unrealized gains proposal.

-> Samourai Wallet, a privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet, was seized by the Feds, and its founders were arrested.

-> The SEC coming after MetaMask, a self-custody wallet, for being an ‘unlicensed broker.’

-> Consensys suing the SEC for trying to classify ETH as a security.

-> The FBI warns Americans against using services that ‘aren’t compliant,’ likely DeFi.

The US government is making it harder to exit the system.

But the worst could still be on the horizon.

A century ago, FDR’s Executive Order 6102 made it illegal to own gold directly.

If Boden and his cronies get reelected, it’s not far-fetched to think that they would try something similar with crypto.

Meanwhile, inflation is sticky and the US remains embroiled in a war on two continents.

We’re living through the epilogue of fiat currency in real-time as the debt + inflation bubble collapses into itself.

When the movie finally ends and the inevitable blow-up happens, you’re going to want some self-custodied #Bitcoin.

Stop overthinking! Bitcoin’s time is now!🏆

Let’s give you some clarity…

All the reasons why you bought Bitcoin in the first place, no matter how long ago it was, are taking clear shape right now:

- Governments are losing our trust.
- Fiat is being printed to infinity carelessly.
- And we are being robbed of our hard work when we keep our money in cash, because its value just keeps going down, and no one at fault takes accountability.

It’s astonishing how most people still do not see how valuable Bitcoin truly is!

We are at the same price levels as nearly three years ago, and with the halving that just happened, things are going to heat up!

“But it’s down nearly 20% recently”

Short-term price action is a distraction. If you look at any extremely valuable asset today, it never went up in a straight line, because most people:

Buy and sell it without thinking about its long-term potential.

Cannot tolerate high levels of volatility. Easily get shaken out by opposite opinions, which means they never actually had high conviction in their future.

It’s simple…

Bitcoin is a clear store of value, and a correction to the downside should not make us second-guess our thesis.

Instead, it is evidence that many holders still do not fully believe in its long-term future, which means we are far from being late to it.

Rewards for Bitcoin miners were cut in half recently, and demand will just keep on growing.

This will eventually lead to a massive shortage in its supply.
Bitcoin’s time to shine is here, and you will regret being sidelined
because you wanted to buy at slightly lower levels.

One of the biggest mistakes I see Web3 founders make is:

Being too focused on token sales.

And I get it.

Every founder wants their token price to go up.

It is all human psychology.

It's what investors want to see.

But imagine this:

You're starving on vacation, looking for a decent meal. Every restaurant screams, "BEST FOOD HERE!"

Annoying, right?

But then you come across a chill restaurant that doesn't force you inside. It has a lovely vibe, a beautiful interior, and a great menu—everything is appealing.

You walk straight in without hesitation.

It's the same with your project.

Your tech is the food, but your brand is the atmosphere.

People buy in because they love what you represent, not just the token.

If you keep forcing the sale, your community will run.

Build the brand first, and they will come.

Attract with quality, not pushy sales tactics.

Give value upfront through excellent branding and content.

Make your project irresistible by showcasing its merits organically.

Let the value speak for itself.

People crave authenticity, not hard sells.

Be the cool restaurant they can't wait to experience.

With a standout brand and content strategy, your community (and investors) will flock to you.

Most people still believe NFT is a passing fad.

To a degree, they’re not wrong.

I used to believe it too.

Because all we have seen up until now is the speculation side of it.

That’s what Mainstream Media writes about for “Clicks” That’s their business model, that’s how they make money.

They always want to write about something that’s:

- More juicy
- Create buzz, and
- Drive a sense of FOMO in people.

And what we see more often shapes our perception.

We human beings are too lazy to do due diligence.

And rush into putting our money into something that we don’t even understand.

That’s how we lose money.

Because after all, it was speculation that we didn’t know much about and ended up investing in.

And then it makes us even more skeptical about revolutionary tech like NFT.

And that’s where we miss the real opportunities that this technology can offer us.

The Lesson:
Don't make up a judgment based on what you see these mainstream media writing about.

Don't build up judgment from their opinion alone.

Do due diligence, try to understand things, and take actions accordingly, be it investing or building.

That's how you capitalize on an Opportunity that nobody sees.

Do you still believe in what mainstream media write about?

Do you move on assuming that as a single source of truth?

Or, do you do due diligence yourself?

Would appreciate your thoughts!

Last year, I got carried away with growth.

Chasing...

New followers.

New clients.

New sales. 

Hey, I've got a business to run. 

A family to feed, you understand.

But what about my existing clients? 

The ones who trusted me first? 

They deserved better from me, for sure. 

Their money should mean even more.

So, last week, I reached out and reconnected. 

Caught up with those old clients.

Reminisced about our past successes.

Discussed family, life, and biz goals.

It felt rewarding to answer their questions.

Offering free help and guidance.

I revised a client's project landing page and formatted another's whitepaper.

All pro bono.

This experience served as a much-needed reality check.

These are the people who believed in me first.

They took a chance on my promise to deliver.

They entrusted me with their hard-earned money.

And I owed them my undivided attention and support.

I should do this more often.

When someone hires you, maintain that connection.
 
After the contract ends, continue being there for them.

They trusted you with their hard-earned cash. 

Give them certainty, no doubts.

From now on, I'll prioritize nurturing these relationships.

Consistently adding value and ensuring their success matters most.

New opportunities will always arise in this fast-paced space.

Growth is essential, but not at the expense of those who believed in me from the start.

Blockchain is NOT web3.

Neither are all the cryptocurrencies and tokens.

Here's a simple way to think about it:

The base layer - Blockchain
The value layer - Cryptocurrency
The real world/crypto bridge - Oracles
The application layer - dApps
The governance layer - DAOs
The "keys" to your crypto - Self-Custodial Wallets
The identity layer - NFTs

If you combine all of these, you get web3.

P.S. Anything else you would add?

#web3crypto #BullorBear #CryptoSavvy

"#Bitcoin is too complicated!"

Oh, so you think you understand how the dollar works? 🤣

#MoneyMakingMethod #BitcoinHodlers #USTreasuryInvestments

If you still doubt the potential of Blockchain.

You need to hear this...

To understand the potential of Web3 Technology.

Let’s take a step back and think about this for a second.

The modern world consists large part of entries in Databases.

Millions of databases govern the modern world.

- Your Money — Bank Database
- Your piece of Stock is in the database
- Which nationality do you belong to
- Your land, your house

Everything is a record in a Database.

But the problem with those databases is that we don’t control them.

Someone else does in a centralized manager.

The government, the institution who are in Power, controls them.

That means they can make certain changes, and things that used to belong to you, don't belong to you anymore.

And you have no way to keep them accountable because all of it's done in a centralized manner.

No Transparency
No Verifiability
No Accountability

The internet is decentralized theoretically at least but it belongs to that platform where most users are - Facebook, Google for example.

That company controls The media, the medium, the messages.

They dominate it all.

Add if we don’t follow whatever weird rules they make, they can throw you out of their system and you can do nothing about it.

They can de-platform you tomorrow and you will lose all the followers that you have built over the years.

And we also have no choice but to use their platform because our Life, Work, and Business depend on it.

So, keeping all of these into consideration, we now know that we need an alternative where we can have full control over our things.

And that’s what Blockchain Does, That’s what Crypto does.

All of them combined, that’s what makes web3 a much-needed paradigm shift for modern society.
