ever used email/google to log into a web3 app?
you might have money sitting in Privy
check balance: home.privy.io
you can easily export wallet to withdraw your assets
I found $3600. had $3K stablecoin sitting in one app i totally forgot about ...
when you finally start making some money
the first move isn't popping bottles at the club or buying a new car and watch or upgrading tech when your current gear works just fine
your first real upgrade should be:
a gym membership mins from your place so you have zero excuses to skip
clean, whole food daily to actually fuel your brain and energy
basic daily essentials: high-grade fish oil, magnesium, and solid vitamins
making money is pointless if your body breaks down before you get to enjoy it. health is the ultimate leverage
health is wealth
my brother's friend runs an in-game currency business
buys 7 figs monthly through crypto from developing regions, then resells to players in higher-income markets
kept 100% of his company funds on binance for day-to-day operations
now his entire flow is stuck - can't withdraw to buy inventory = nothing to sell
business completely halted
got quite a bit of funds parked on binance
but zero panic on my side - went about my day with my baby girl and wife as usual
after 9 years full-time in this space, i've lived through cryptopia, ftx, celsius, luna/ust and many others. took a 6 figs hit over the years, but nth as compared to many others tbh
I managed to survive through the absolute worst by keeping things spread out over the past years
but 3ac and luna/ust were the final straw that made me spread them out even more
ever since, my capital has been scattered across cold/hot wallets and multiple exchanges with strict caps in each, with a large slice permanently alr rotated out to web2 (which i don't onramp back into web3)
now i sleep like a baby every night
woke up at 9:30 am sgt, 5 hrs after the binance hack broke
first move was checking for any ripple effects so i could get funds out everywhere before things cascaded
next was hunting for blood to buy, only to see btc and eth down a soft -4%
ended up with nothing to de-risk and nothing cheap enough to buy
back to sleep
I'm an @EthenaPay VIP tier user so that means I can deposit up to $200k into their new Earn+
on top of that - I'm getting 5% cashback on my purchase and also 6% yield on my idle funds. guess this is when we say "gud tek"
few access codes left on my side, dm me if u need one
the easiest way to stay broke in web3 is listening to the timeline:
"too much vc funding, not enough funding"
"just another copycat"
"bro don't farm infofi, don't buy nfts"
"too many wallets, way too diluted"
"technical analysis doesn't work in this market"
"btc going back to $3k, eth to $100"
if i had listened to half the noise on CT over the years, my networth would be sitting at $0 rn.
dyor, trust your own conviction, map out your risk-to-reward, manage your sizing well, never ever go all-in
worst case? you take an L but just 5% of your portfolio, learn something, and live to fight another day with your capital intact
you don't need a 100% win rate in this game - you just need to survive long enough for some good bets to print
was going through a smart follower list today
checking account by account to find people with solid content actually worth following
then i realized at least 20% of them have been completely inactive for months, some up to 2 years
the eerie part - their last posts were completely normal
just standard commentary, charts, casual takes. no goodbye post, no announcement
they just logged off one day and never came back
my wife just landed a confirmed offer at a tier 1 international school in singapore ($100k+ package)
she is french, but teaches entirely in english. tier 1 schools almost exclusively hire native speakers from the UK, US etc
when we met 8 years ago, she could barely hold a full conversation with me in english
instead of complaining about the odds, she went to work - she spent past 4 years refining her english and mastering a british accent until she could code-switch effortlessly
today she got the offer. a reminder that you don't wait for permission to be great - you build the skill, take the leap, grind for it and force the world to recognize your value
just started farming @txflow_l1
mainly running organic trades + delta-neutral hedge
managed to partner up with the team to get you guys a 10% deposit rebate in fee credits on your perps wallet
app.txflow.com/campaign/firs…
all you need to do: net deposit at least $50 usdc, parked for 24 hours and you will receive 10% back in fee credits (up to $100 with a $1k deposit)
pool is capped at $3k and strictly FCFS (ends on nov 1st 23:59 utc)
friendly reminder to everyone that blast is shutting down today
found $40 left in there
debank and most bridges have already stopped supporting blast, so here are a few sites where you can paste your address (read-only / no wallet connect needed) to check for stranded funds:
blastexit.com/ (attached img)
prakashkcity.github.io/blast… (in-app balances, nfts, etc.)
i used uniswap and ambient finance to swap non-eth tokens to eth, then bridged out via the official blast bridge
Blast will be shutting down.
We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and we do not see a credible path to making the chain economically sustainable.
As a result, we've made the difficult decision to wind Blast down.
We're sorry to the users and developers who believed in Blast, built on it, and supported the ecosystem. Our priority now is making the shutdown as smooth and safe as possible.
We're asking all users to withdraw their assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet, including any balances held in the Blast PWA.
To make this easier, we will be reducing the withdrawal delay to 24 hours.
As part of the shutdown process, we'll first begin withdrawing Blast's Lido assets. This process is expected to take approximately one week. During this period, withdrawals will temporarily be unavailable, even after the withdrawal delay is reduced to 24 hours.
Once that process is complete, withdrawals will resume with the new 24-hour delay.
Users will have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface.
After October 26, assets will remain withdrawable, but users will need to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum L1. We'll publish detailed instructions before then.
We strongly encourage everyone to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet before October 26.
took me years to realize that making money isn’t actually the hard part in this game
the real test is everything that comes after:
building the discipline to earn it systematically instead of by luck
developing the emotional control to manage it when size starts messing with your head
possessing the maturity and patience to actually keep it for the next 10, 20 years
sitting on your hands when the market goes dead, instead of getting bored and gambling it all away
protecting the bag is an entirely different skill set from making it
view from my airbnb in thailand for the weekend
I used to think being a trader meant you had to be in a trade 24/7
but man, chop markets will teach you a hard lesson. you get bored, you start forcing high-leverage plays, aping into random trash, taking stupid bets just to get a hit of dopamine - and before you know it, you've bled half your stack away
took me a while to realize that sometimes the most profitable thing you can do is literally sit on your hands.
don't torch your money trying to make something happen when there’s nothing there
step away from the screen, grab a coffee, touch grass, hang out with your friends and fam, and let the market do its thing without you
making your first $10k online is dangerous
it’s the moment you realize you don't need a normal job to survive. from that day on, you become unemployable
you will happily eat dirt, work double the hours and rebuild from zero ten times over before you ever consider letting someone else buy your hours again
