Re @GigaLegendsLTD 1. We aren’t running any collabs because any form of additional spots beyond the conversion of existing assets would just dilute the conversion rate. 2. ROMs will convert to Legends via a points system. There will be a few options for ppl without enough points, or with a surplus of points, these include... (a) gacha system for points (b) gacha system for full ROMs (c) other wallets can send you their points 3. I’m excited to see how (c) plays out - our community is already discussing some adhoc tournies in Discord to distribute their extra points. But what I’m even more excited about is not selling any additional NFTs. Infact, the launch of Legends will result in a massive amount of consolidation / supply contraction in our ecosystem. At some point every onchain team / business needs to grow up and work towards sustainable long term revenue that’s not driven by short term speculation or just printing more supply. That’s the theme of our now, and going in to 2027.

After a decade in business, I've come to realize a harsh truth. The gap between what most people consider hard work and what extraordinary performance actually requires is almost incomprehensible. It's not just the hours. It's the ambition, relentlessness, resilience, sacrifice, and willingness to take risks that most people would never consider. You see this in professional sports. The difference between a recreational athlete and someone like Tiger Woods or LeBron James is enormous. But everyone understands that gap. Nobody playing basketball on Wednesday nights believes they're in the same league as LeBron. In business, that distinction is far less obvious. Everyone works. Everyone experiences stress, makes sacrifices, and considers themselves hardworking. So naturally, most people believe they're playing roughly the same game. But they're not. Some are playing in a rec league. Others are competing on the world stage. And the gap between them isn't 10% or 20%. It's orders of magnitude. The problem is that unlike professional sports, there's no obvious scoreboard making those differences undeniable. That creates a fundamental disconnect between people's perception of their contribution and the value they actually create. And with it comes tension around compensation, opportunity, recognition, expectations, and what constitutes fairness. This is one of the hardest challenges in building a high performing organization. Not because everyone else lacks value, but because the expectations, pace, and standards of a high performance environment aren't for everyone. When you mix A, B, and C players without acknowledging those differences, the performance gaps widen, expectations diverge, and resentment grows. The highest performers feel held back. Others feel the expectations are unreasonable. And both can genuinely believe they're right. I'm not sure there's a perfect solution. But after ten years, I'm increasingly convinced that one of the most important decisions a leader makes is choosing which league their organization intends to compete in, and building a team that genuinely wants to play at that level.

Why are the culés treating Kroupi like he’s some unknown or Serie C-level player? Kroupi has literally been one of the best players in the Premier League this season. He’s incredibly clean on the ball, technically gifted, and I’ve followed him closely—I’ve been really impressed. If Barça can’t sign Julián, then Kroupi would be a fantastic alternative. He’s a top talent with huge potential, definitely not an unknown player. His quality on the ball is comparable to Álvarez’s, and off the ball he’s just as energetic, aggressive, and constantly on the move.

SEPT '26 @SMBCAPITAL TAKEAWAYS 1. The team led by Max Ganik has been absolutely crushing it for a few months now, while other teams have been struggling. This caused me to step back, have convos w Jeff Holden and @mikebellafiore, and reflect on why that is. -Culturally this team has an incredible sense of urgency and dissatisfaction with underperformance. Despite how fast they've grown, they are never satisfied. Max leads from the front by pushing risk and helping the team with idea generation. -A team is ultimately made up of its individual members and every single person on their team is obsessed with trading, works their butt off, and wants to put up the big $$ that Max puts up. There is no C or D player on this team. -They don't make excuses. They look for solutions and implement them faster than others. There is no blaming the market, only full accountability that you alone are responsible for your performance. -On the couple special opps each month, they take on massive risk (that they've earned the right to). This team is taking exponential bet sizing to an extreme. -They're predominantly using options to express their ideas w maximum convexity which keeps their losses contained when a trade doesn't work. 2. The teams that are struggling are not hitting the brakes fast enough when the market environment is not conducive to their strategies. Similarly, most traders do not slam on the gas hard enough when the market is highly conducive to their strategies. 3. Not everything can be codified yet. I see teams overlying relying on AI and simplistic models rather than trusting the decades of collective experience they have as human discretionary traders. I know I've been harping on this for a while, but AI is not the answer if it is distracting you from solving the actual constraints to your trading. I genuinely see that the traders struggling the most are the ones diddling away their time the most on vibe coded projects while avoiding doing the deep hard work that will actually fix their trading. 4. It's funny... Team Max has been the massive outperformer on the desk this year. I'm not sure I've ever heard their team mention AI to me. I don't know that they even use AI (plz correct me if I'm wrong). All they've done is doubled down on their best setups and grown their risk to incredible levels. For how much the world is changing, I don't see the path of the discretionary trader having changed much thus far.
