There's also the case of

those are the lies we tell ourselves over and over again
fear will stop you from buying the bottom

Information filtering is key
The food we eat is fuel to our body - we try to make it highest quality possible
Information we consume is fuel to our mind - why don't we see it the same way?
If you consume trashy content, how can you produce quality thoughts?
long time no see
current stage of the market tells me it's not a bad idea to write something
but first...
gathering thoughts, revising ideas, and recollecting events
will do my best to publish this week
All the content you consume will get you nowhere if you don't act
Reading articles, scrolling Twitter or watching YT is easy, but won't bring the results you hope for
Acting out the knowledge requires discipline, but grants god-like results
The choice is yours...
Attention is the ultimate currency of social media
Friend Tech is the perfect example of what is coming to BASE
Viral apps lowering onboarding threshold
Attention is the end goal, not sustainability
Sure it's pure ponzi rn but... what isn't?
Curve got bailed out - we’re SAFU
At least for now...
But things are going the change as among Guardian Angels was His Excellency - Justin Sun
TLDR;
Some Curve pools got hit by exploiting Vyper smart contract language - some projects got their pools drained, some were safe.

Market Ramblings - FTX Staked SOL = ?
Couple weeks ago CT was flooded with info about FTX liquidating their SOL bag - valued at more than $1 billion.
That's a lot of sell pressure for sure, but... it's not that liquid so it can't be sold right away - at least that's how FTX
Twitter is just one giant network of connections
If you seek alpha and accounts to follow...
Why don't you go through accounts followed by high-quality people you know?
It's time-consuming but well worth your time...
$CYBER pump&dump was the same scenario as $YGG
DWF Labs is playing the profitable game that's hard to stop once you get good at it
The next pump will come sooner or later
Look for Binance small caps with low liquidity and perps
They've bought $FET some time ago so maybe...
You cannot build strong conviction without putting in the hard work
And if you do...
Your strong conviction becomes based not on proper research, but on your personal bias and emotions towards the project, team, marketing...
You mistake conviction based on competence with
@ProfFeynman
The problem is that people are too scared today to ask questions, to pursue knowledge by admitting that something might be wrong. The frames we are put into with the current education make us feel safe within those frames, within the comfort zone of what we know.

Everything is a scam unless proven otherwise - period
you'll go through at least 3 stages in your crypto journey

@cryptobi10
thanks! when i started i also didn't value lists but over time it just became a "must have" to save time
there's too much info on twitter to go without any filtering
13/ we can only speculate but...
logical reasoning suggests to focus on either
• large market cap coins
$FET
$OCEAN
$RNDR
• coins related to events in the AI industry
e.g.
$IMGNAI - visuals
$TAO - decentralized ML

I'd agree if we removed hubris and greed from the equation
There's always some opportunist - suffice to look at DWF Labs
We'll always have strong personas - tis part of this game, we worship faces we know
USDR is the perfect example of how crucial it is to build the treasury based on the assets you offer/hold
What USDR did was building Treasury they cannot make liquid when needed

otherwise,

making

What if...
@Noname15911
this is a very good suggestion Sir
it's definitely not an easy task to shift the mindset and it often requires some "extreme" event or conditions
for me those were significant loses along the way that helped me "level-up" many things
Contrarian thought

that's a very general question tbh - you'd have to go through docs and see how updated staking mechanism works + how it plays out with overall revenue generation
but if we focus only on CCIP - there's more than $45k revenue with just bout 5k Tx
