3 reasons to use @looftapay for your next payment > pay with any tokens you hold > no wallet address needed just use social handle or email address of the recipient > private option so there's no link btw you and the recipient when you choose to

my clicks were productive this week 😇 Starting the weekend w/ some good jam in my ears and a new todo for the weekend: > code cleanup 🧹 > documentation > DevOps (need to set up a proper dev & staging env) > deploying loofta on @solanamobile > 10KM run + S&C 💪 Also a BIG announcement is coming up next week, that I am super excited for and can't wait to share :)

I'm looking to expand my creative partners list for upcoming projects within the following roles: Editor (short and/or long form), Videographer, Brand Designer or Strategist, 3D Artist, Motion Designer, Web/Product designer. Drop your portfolio 👇

This was super fun! 😂 Not only @looftapay got featured alongside some seriously dope projects but @YouKnowEno and @simonmolitor are really doing something special & entertaining with this format!! Watching products, builders, ST members & events get spotlighted with this energy every week is one of the best things in the Solana ecosystem 🔥🔥

🤣 it’s crazy how this generation is starting something and if they don’t become rich in 6months they just stop and then try to project their own doubts and limits into other people ambitions. 😁 One reason I tend to isolate myself, it’s to avoid at all cost people speaking THEIR fear into MY plans 💫
