thankful to be standing at 20,000 today
this one hits different for me because
it’s not just a number, it feels like
there’s a new momentum
here’s what actually moved the needle:
spaces built the foundation and not just hosting them, but showing up to them consistently week after week
and whether it was 10 people in the room
or 1,000, that repetition built trust
no single post ever could do
however it was 2025 crypto events that
changed everything for me and it
was due to being able to:
» being in the room
» shaking hands
» conversing face to face
the connections made in those moments did more than anything I could have
ever done behind a screen
there continue to be hours nobody sees:
» staying up late calling across time zones
» waking up early before the day started
this space rewards the ones willing to show up when it’s uncomfortable
picking up the phone instead
of just sending a message
every single time I did that,
a real door then opened
these moments lead to:
» collabs
» friendships
» opportunities
that actually meant something to me
october 2020 I fell into crypto with
no idea what I was even doing
march 2022 I fired up on account
here and found my people
today we’re surpassed 20,000
and we’ve come a long way,
but there’s more to do
i’m wholeheartedly grateful for every
single one of you that’s been part
of this ride over the years
the best chapter still isn’t written yet
