just got back from Berlin and I gotta say the Cardano Summit was the busiest irl event we've ever been to the entire NESSO team showed up from all around the world and got shit done I still think there is a massive gap in marketing, strategy, BD, partnerships and content creation, proven by the fact that we were yet again THE ONLY AGENCY at the event scaling NESSO for the past year has been the best thing I've ever done in my life and I'm so happy I stayed true to my beliefs and stuck to Cardano while everyone keeps crying about how many problems the ecosystem has, we always look at the bright side and continue to create value for us and our clients through a collective effort I want to thank everyone who joined me in this amazing journey at NESSO so far, starting with my IRL brother @Federicoxbtc NESSO would be nowhere near where it is without you @pedronesso aka everyone's favorite intern, thanks for believing in us early @TheDr_TheDr nobody knows what he does, but it's working, pleasure to call you a team member and friend @Sal_XBT my closest internet friend, business mentor, strategy extraordinaire, working together feels like play, except we turn 3 hour calls into client's success stories @meepo one of the most talented people I've met in this space, every team in web3 needs a MEEPO @FluidTokens team, especially @elraulito and @0xMetamatt for being the best technical partner we can wish for our clients, I strongly believe that if we ever get a Polymarket moment on Cardano, it will be developed by you guys @navir333 and @sheephurder2 while I can't call you NESSO yet, you represent exactly the type of people we want to have on the team all cheese aside, thank you for believing in us Cardano 💙

i'm telling you rn Revenue meta is in full swing on Cardano this is how we burst out of the echo chamber - by proving that there are actual businesses growing here. for far too long we have relied on sheer innovation to promote our ecosystem, but ideas mean nothing without a business model behind it a model that generates value, earns money, brings growth, makes the pie bigger for everybody involved that's fundamentally what revenue represents there are only a few teams that generate revenue on Cardano right now, I encourage EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY TO BACK THEM, independently of bias because these companies are the only ones able to attract capital, retail interest, and real adoption. congrats again to Flux 👏

you can teach people how to make money, but you can't really teach them how to spend it as if they had the money all along. that's an enviromental factor, that's why ppl say you can't buy class. Class and "sprezzatura" are qualities that you need to develop; you can't buy them even if you hire a stylist or a professional. reason why some newly rich people like Bold (former teacher in Australia) do not see the value in luxury goods. He's not wrong, as the environment he's in shows him that most rich people (parvenus) buy things just because they are expensive. It's just a signal, no utility, quality or permanence. Old money people buy things that are costly. Huge difference. Some examples for the visual learners: - Ferrari vs Toyota - Sneakers vs handmade English/Italian loafers - Streetwear vs tailormade

People fear competition because they are not living true to themselves. Think about it, nobody is quite like you. In business, if you are your true self nobody can compete with you. "Escape competition through authenticity" - This quote from Naval hits so hard. I talk a lot about being the master of your niche, for anybody starting out, it is the single best thing you can do to not having to worry about competition ever again. That's what me, Leon, Avi, Sanjay, and so many other agency founders have done by playing our strengths and dominate our respective niches. That doesn't mean you can't learn from others, it's actually the opposite: throughout the years, I have learned so much from people like Leon, Avi, Kermit, Carlos etc, but even though we all work in marketing, all help brands grow and raise in the same industry, I never once felt they were competition. Why? because even when I learned something from them, I took it and made it my own. Be true with who you are, and nobody will ever be able to compare and compete. Lean into your skills, learn to be good at being you, Because the reality is you're the only person on Earth that can be the best at being you, nobody else can top you there. p.s. I don't know who took this banger picture of me and Leon but thank you, it's a banger 🙏

there's truly nothing better than staring at your portfolio, doubting every single move you made or will make, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.

tourists always lose but: 1. they don't know that 2. they all leave eventually 3. they go back with amazing memories we are just stuck here defi summer, crypto winter, bear, bull, accumulation/distrib phase, black swan, founder on forbes, founder jailed takes a toll on u ngl

crazy how $PUMP is officially the worst trade of the year for so many Ansem, ChartFu, Rasmr, everyone got baited into thinking participating in the presale was a good idea haven't looked at the chart, but in vibe trading, this would be the signal to go long here while everyone is underwater, we get back what was promised to us 3000 years ago

I don't know if NFTs will ever come back. But I just bought The Hand for the utility. And yes, if they do come back I believe only those with the utility will come back.

my tiny little brain hurts: - we establish that we are getting close to the cycle top - we promise not to re-enter positions - we offset the majority of our gains and play defense - we take a small % of our port and take risky asym bets (push/fold) - we understand a 50% drawdown takes a 100% gain to make back ALL IS CLEAR TO ME BUT ONE THING: What is "the safe asset" we cash out into? Am I actually selling my Bitcoin to buy debased currency and just "wait for the bear"? With Bitcoin going into hyperinstitutionalization, are we afraid of the inevitable drawdowns? Do we still go down 70% from top to bottom? or is 30% this time? Because if it's "only" 30% and I lose 10% a year COMPOUNDED sitting on cash then you agree I'm holding the Bitcorns, right? but if I'm holding Bitcoin, and the only goal is BTC, then my cycle is already done I've already consolidated 90% of my wealth into BTC. that to me sounds like when Warren was selling all his positions to be in cash. He was de-risking, I'm doing the same? but am I? what is the endgoal? more valueless dollars or euros? or Bitcoin? I know I'm gonna get all the millionaire bitcoiners telling me the answer is clearly BTC BUT YOU'RE A FIAT MILLIONAIRE YOU FAT LIAR. it's easy for you, I'm poor relative to both how about that? anyway yeah, I need to understand what the safe asset even is, then I can continue my strategy, until then I'll hold some BTC, I'll be liquid enough in cash so my wife is happy, but this is hard man I feel like I'm not smart enough to understand this

BREAKING: it's called front.run

I can't believe the best financial decision I've ever made was becoming the biggest pussy I know lesson in there

in the past year, I've worked extremely hard to outperform Bitcoin. it was so hard, I almost didn't luckily from September to December '24, I took profits aggressively from my onchain plays, on both Solana and Base, and converted roughly 70% of it into BTC. The rest went straight to fiat to pay for my honeymoon. Thanks to Italian regulation, I pay 0 cap gains tax on crypto to crypto swaps, that means I can lock my profits into BTC without incurring any tax whatsoever. When I'm ready, I can swap to either stables or Euros and pay my taxes the following year. funnily enough this weird tax law is what made me a BTC maxi and also outperform lol all of this to say that you need to understand what type of hand you're dealt, and play THAT, not somebody else's who might live in a completely different jurisdiction as the bull market progresses and gets close to the final innings, I'm taking any chance I can to get more Bitcoin, and gamble onchain with roughly 10% of my portfolio. This is the strategy that allowed me to outperform this cycle, and I'm not switching it for the final 2 innings I have no plans to rotate back into alts, and no plans to cash out (I don't need the liquidity now) If/when I need liquidity, I will take it from my BTC stack, which is 90% compounded profits anyway. I will not try to time the perfect exit, because it doesn't exist, I will slowly DCA out late this year/beginning next year and enjoy what will have been 20,000 transactions and thousands of hours looking at charts oh, almost forgot, I'm 90% BTC rn

is an insider buying 3% of a 25k mcap token "reckless"? is a quant who's spent 5 years learning the inefficiencies of a single niche market going all in "reckless"? is a kol shilling a $1M token (they got a deal at 100k) "reckless"? absolutely not, why? BECAUSE THEY SEE IT THROUGH. Your only job here is to see it through once or twice in your lifetime. When you finally see it through, risk evaporates because you know the outcome. When you know the outcome, you can be reckless. But it's only "reckless" for the people watching, not you: "it's only reckless if you can't see it through." many lessons in there for the young traders. Lorenzo Nesso

we all know the Cardano community is exceptionally loud on this app so here's my pitch to the @MidnightNtwrk Team: drop $NIGHT as an airdrop to eligible communities BUT there's a catch: to activate your allocation, you need to actively spread information about what Midnight is, how the token works, the privacy token narrative the whole thing the more quality information you share, the higher the multiplier for the airdrop reasoning: a huge chunk of $ADA is stuck with dormant Japanese whales, they have no skin in the defi game except for passively holding ADA this could be a big enough incentive to wake these dormant whales up, plus get enough mindshare from everybody else it becomes the biggest event of 2025 we are in the era of InfoFi, and the Cardano community is one of the biggest underdogs in this meta, with tens of thousands of people that could potentially amplify the message sometimes, aligning the community with incentives is better than just airdropping tokens at random to whales that don't know what the token even is just an idea, follow me for more Lorenzo Nesso

I HAVE NEVER AGREED WITH A POST MORE we are just getting to Optimism now definitely not at "Belief" yet because everyone on CT STILL has 0 BTC exposure and is mostly in stables or dogshit rn which is totally retarded but that's for another day, yes I'm looking at you gainzy CT royalty says we could get as high as 250k this year, let's take that as the market pico top aka "Euphoria" means that around $140k-ish the people of CT will submit to the inevitable and start buying BTC, after a few months (180k-ish) they will feel like geniuses and start increasing leverage increased lev = higher volatility = ppl will get rekt on both sides until the market agrees BTC is overvalued at $250k-ish we will then top, people will miss it because they got in late and aimed too high (after being late) and then we retrace 70-80% to around $60k makes sense to me

people with 0 Bitcoin coming home tonight

majority of CT exited the market last month bc of the recession fears they didn't sell BTC, they sold alts (down 70% from ATH) now they are waiting to re-enter, not alts, but BTC consensus targets? around 60k These people will never own Bitcoin remember at $74k exactly one month ago, they were calling for low 60s, even a brief dip into the high 50s fast forward 30 days later BTC is $95,000 Saylor just announced MSTR will be buying another 21 BILLION DOLLARS worth of BTC at any price as far as I'm concerned, these setups where virtually everyone is sidelined yield the biggest gains I've been holding BTC spot since $25k I've bough at 39k, 55k, 75k, even 90k never sold a single satoshi I've made excess gains "trenching", nothing life changing, but good enough to help pay for my wedding honeymoon and upgrade my life substantially 50% of those gains went directly to BTC my only regret is not having bought more for those of you who are still waiting for the "dip", it will never come because you're not ready to buy at any prices, you haven't made up your mind yet about Bitcoin once you do make up your mind and are ready to buy, remember: I will be selling to willing buyers (YOU) at the fair market price (new ATH every single day for months)

nobody talks about this, but the best edge right now is having a girlfriend/wife with a stable corporate job
