Quick story on raising your Life’s Floor Back in the 2017 cycle, I had a close group of crypto friends. We were able to flip 6 figures to 7 figures. No, we weren’t geniuses. You just had to be there to know how insane that cycle was. One of the guys, David, wanted to do something crazy. He was going to cash out his crypto, and buy a house in cash. Me and the rest of the guys couldn’t believe it. Us: “Bro, this is like getting in early on Amazon and Google” And on top of that, interest rates were so low back then. He explained his reasoning. David once had a business that was successful. He kept re-investing money into it. Then the business died and he was left with nothing. After it was all said and done, he had to move back to his parent’s home and start all over again. His biggest regret is he didn’t take profits to permanently upgrade his life. “Raising your Life’s floor” means improving your worse case scenario. So this time he wanted to cash out and buy a house. No matter what his worse case scenario was, he’d be a homeowner. He wouldn’t have to start over from scratch. What happened to me and my friends? The 2018 crash happened and we round tripped all of our earnings. David? Pretty sure his home has 4x in value at least, and he’s still crushing it in Crypto. Hopefully, several of you will make some life changing gains. It’s tempting to want to immediately upgrade your lifestyle. You’ve had a chip on your shoulder your whole life. You want to buy the Rolex, the new car, and rent the new high rise. You want to show everyone you’ve “made it.” But the future is unpredictable - especially in Crypto. Your first order of business should be to find ways to permanently raise your floor. • This means paying off debt. • Buying assets such as a home, or funding your retirement. • Building a year’s worth of emergency funds. By doing this, you’re giving an advantage to your future self. If you fail, you’ve given yourself a nice cushion to fall on. I’ve seen way too many people in this space go from riches to ramen. I’ve had the supercars, and the watches. You feel the dopamine for a few days and then life returns back to normal. (think about the last time you bought a new phone or laptop) Nothing beats the feeling of financial security and the peace of mind that comes with it.

The 2nd Half of this 👀 @paint_swap group is a different breed. I would love to see them with more firepower and make an even greater impact on $FTM.

How do you pick a side-hustle you feel comfortable working on for years? 👀 I have a creative mind and many interests. It's tempting to dabble around. I'm pondering how to: Provide value at scale, be good at, and can do for years 🤔

I f*cked up by not completely loading up on #BTC when it was sub $20K. Seeing #BTC make 5% daily gains doesn't help either. I want to jump in, but am scared it pumped too much already. Anyone else in the same boat? 😅

I've been away from the Crypto scene for a bit. (Been touching so much grass) Just checking in briefly: What have I missed since May? Any hot topics/trends? Or are things boring?

Tweeted this a year ago. Amazing how I believe in this even more. What's even more inspiring is how @QuotableCrypto is putting in the work. Giving value, networking with people, and doing so consistently. Truly motivating 🫡

We're all guilty of this 😂

Had fun discussing recent Crypto events! Also great hearing everyone's insights, especially regarding Blackrock's ETF. Take a listen! 👇

Always great to read @rektdiomedes's thoughts on the macro situation. Interesting point made about working from home. If people prefer working from home, there is less reason to live in big/expensive cities. I wonder what the 2nd/3rd consequences of that is 🤔

Caffeine is like a payday loan. You're constantly borrowing energy from the future to have some right now. Don't think your energy debt is that bad? Try stopping for a few days. No one talks about having a broccoli withdraw 😂

Consuming motivational content feels good DESPITE not taking any steps. That's a problem. It's like feeling high knowing you'll start a diet tomorrow. But did you actually follow through? Actions >> Talk. Here's what I worked on for the past few hours [Rough Draft]:
