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

all i want is to trade on CEXs and DEXs without the constant fear of losing everything to a hack
is that asking too much?
there will never be another hyperliquid
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

Introducing Earn+: 12% rewards on your dollars in a single tap.
Available now for Pro and VIP users and rolling out to all Ethena Pay users in the coming days.
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

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:

(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

life-changing airdrop amount : $4.64
thank you standx
had $15000 in there for 339 days
what type of gud tek is this again? ermmm
too many people in this space take the sketchy road for an easy payday
not for me. i prefer to take my time, make honest money, keep my integrity intact, and actually sleep soundly at night
I'm here to play the long game.

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

they said card payments have a 3% surcharge - i said ok, and they looked a tad shocked
little did they know i'm actually getting 5% cashback on this bill teehee

you’re not supposed to see portfolio growth every single month
some days, just protecting your capital, managing risk, and staying in the game is the real win.
forever grateful for what web3 has enabled for me - especially the gift of time
just this past week alone:
took my baby to the doc for her vaccination on tue, took her out for swimming class on wed, had a relaxed late brunch with the wife on thurs, and now i'm omw to thailand for a weekend trip with the mates
haven't had a boss or answered to anyone but myself for the past 9 years. pure freedom.

finally unlocked my 100k $COOKIE today after 365 days
$8200 turned into $926
took a bet on a narrative i believed in and got rekt big time
never shy never scare to post my L - nobody wins every single hand, and no one saw the complete collapse of infofi 1 year ago
full transparency: haven't run the exact math on whether the eco drops + rewards brought me to breakeven, but i doubt it
it is what it is, part of the game

bought 100k of COOKIE at around $8200 today
a huge move to position myself for future eco drops from @cookiedotfun (top cookie stakers ate super well from recall drop)
and I also get a max 5x multiplier on all the cSNAPS campaigns on cookie
I am currently positioned for all of the cSNAPS campaigns on Cookie from @almanak to @vooi_io to @useTria
the 5x multipliers will help a lot to escalate my ranks
I have a good gut feeling and strongly believe that the eco drops + rewards from cSNAPS campaigns will easily recoup the $8.2k that I spent on staking.
only time will tell so nfa

just spent $1 to get 100 reputation score on @primus_labs
1. jump over to
2. hook up your wallet and add their browser extension
3. head to the attestation tab and pick some tasks (cex account, github, x profile, etc.)
4. run the proof while logged in to mint your attestation
5. claim the xp to your profile
txn runs on base (per txn is around $0.1) so just have a $1-ish of eth for gas
I am at rank 746 by just having 100 score - as usual putting money and time where my mouth is - skip if it costs too much for you as I have no idea if this would be = airdrops in the future or not
> some information on primus:
backed by around $7M from vaneck and samsung next, with their tech already securing tens of millions in live proof of reserves.
nobody wants to dox their entire financial footprint just to interact on-chain.
financial privacy isn't about hiding things - it’s just basic opsec. you keep your sensitive balances private, while proving the underlying claim (solvency, cex activity, reputation) is 100% legit
this is what they are building with zktls and fhe
