Yesterday, I came across a friend's post where he talked about appreciating the hiring managers and employers who gave you a chance when you had zero experience. He added that without people like that, most people would keep getting rejected for “no experience” and end up settling for crumbs. That post inspired me to write this. You see, skill alone will not land you your next role. You also need experience. I remember sometime in February, I was working with a team, and the core team needed a motion designer. I was asked to recommend someone. Fortunately, I knew someone in my circle. The guy was really good at what he does, but there was one problem: he had no experience. By experience, I mean proof of work. The core team shared samples of the kind of work they wanted and asked me to send similar projects he had done for other brands. The truth was, he didn't have any. That didn't mean he wasn't skilled. He was. But brands want to see proof that you've done it before. They want confidence that you can deliver because you've already delivered. And this isn't just about motion design. It cuts across almost every role, whether you're a static or motion designer, community manager, marketing manager, developer, business development manager, or any other professional. Looking back, one of the defining moments in my career was choosing to chase experience in the Web3 space while many others were focused on trending narratives and short-term opportunities. That decision led me to work as a Regional Community Growth Manager at Babylonlabs and Lava Network, while also building Bitcoin Renaissance Africa. Those experiences challenged me. I had conversations with founders and partners from different backgrounds. I developed content marketing plans, negotiated with core teams, planned and executed community campaigns and programs, crafted X Space topics with meaningful discussion guides, and constantly looked for new marketing and outreach opportunities to grow project reach and products. It was demanding, but those experiences laid the foundation for the community growth and marketing skills I rely on today. Community growth and marketing isn't a title you wake up with. It's a skill built through experience, consistency, countless conversations, and continuous outreach. Every idea, every content plan, every meeting, every event, every campaign, and every partnership adds another layer to your growth. #web3 #Community #Growth #Marketing #crypto

So many want to earn yieids on their Bitcoin but not at the expense of giving up custody. TBV changes the narrative for everyone. Excited to see ARFC vote passed in favor. Next stop is mainnet. Congratulations to the entire Babylon team.

You'll be sorry you worried at all tomorrow morning! Alex Burns

The last two months in 2026: ➢Be delusionally optimistic. ➢Relentlessly follow up. ➢Make stuff happen. ➢Pursue your goal with all you've got. ➢Act high energy. ➢Spend less time on social media( by this I mean just scrolling through feeds). ➢Make some long-term investments. Just don't sit there waiting for sh*t to happen. ➢Make some money. These is what my mind has been pondering on since the beginning of this month.

Today is going to be a great day, let's get after it relentlessly Good morning.

Every day, you wake up to new information. Does your AI agent? Yesterday's winning trading strategy could lose you money today. Markets change constantly. You could spend billions building the fastest AI agents, but if they're working with outdated information, they're making yesterday's decisions faster. And beyond price movements, there's the question of what investors are thinking today. What are they expecting? What's influencing their decisions? How are their expectations changing? 𝗔𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗛𝘂𝗯, being developed by @oortech and @Aetherholdings, captures financial predictions and the reasoning behind them, creating datasets that could help AI better understand market expectations. In financial markets, you can never know enough. The better your information, the better your decisions can be. The MVP is coming soon!!

Today is definitely going to be a great day, let's get after it relentlessly Good morning.

Not a fan of some of the things he says but this Clip is insanely insightful. Know what you want. Know when to stop The kind of life you want, learn from the people living that life. Alot in this clip man.

Sometimes, the most valuable information isn't the prediction itself, but the reasoning behind it. The prediction tells you what they believe. The reasoning tells you why. This is the goal of 𝗔𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗛𝘂𝗯. It is co-developed by a joint venture between @oortech and Nasdaq-listed company, @aether_holdings to collect valuable predictive intelligence with reasoning behind those predictions from financial experts and everyday participants and turn that data into something useful for financial institutions and for AI model training. MVP is coming soon!

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁? AI can study decades of market data, earnings reports, and price movements. But financial markets aren't driven by numbers alone. They're also driven by people. Fear, greed, expectations, and how investors react to news. A company announces record earnings and its stock falls. Another misses expectations and rallies. The numbers alone don't explain why investors panic, what makes them buy, sell, or hold, or what changes their minds. These patterns of human behavior are valuable data, but they aren't always captured in traditional financial datasets. @oortech and @Aetherholdings are developing 𝗔𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗛𝘂𝗯 to collect financial predictions alongside the reasoning behind them. The aim is to turn human judgment into structured data that financial institutions can analyze and AI models can learn from. The market is human. AI needs to learn that.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿? Give ten traders the same chart and market data, and you could get ten different predictions. Their experience, risk appetite, and ability to interpret information shape how they see the market. Yet most financial datasets tell us what happened in the market, not why people expected it to happen. Imagine capturing thousands of these predictions, the reasoning behind them, and eventually comparing them with outcomes. That's what @oortech and @Aetherholdings are building AetherHub to do. AetherHub turns human market judgment into structured data that financial institutions can use to understand sentiment and train AI models. Rather than learning only from price movements, AI could also learn how people interpret the signals behind them. We’re about to see the best of financial AI.
