Ryoshi was smart. He got out at the top . . . and left you holding the bag AND worshipping him like Jesus.

If you think your project on, checks notes, page 19 being mentioned as decentralized absolves you of accountability, think again. The CFTC is reclaiming their jurisdiction for enforcement. Not my words. I sat there and listened to the commissioners say it and reported it live.

Everyone who DMs me gets the same message: I’m going to do my best, but if the market changes fast, I’ll adapt quickly too. I think people who follow me are used to pivots by now, but it’s a good time to put this out there.

In a market like this, it's a great place to have fun, do what you love, maybe make a bit, & push for a platform you enjoy. But here is the lesson: Anything can change at any time. You have to adapt & improvise and please, for the love of God, be honest with your supporters.

I love hearing how teams have matured, taken what they learned, and moved on. That's what I do is pass it on. Always a diamond in the rough and crypto is ROUGH. But what you won't see me do is take credit for those teams.

So what about me and $ZORA? That was a decision based on entry so let's look at what happened: 1. I enter right at the point when the early projects are zooming. 2. I climb and do very well, a combination of listings management and the most amazing followers on the planet.

3. Turns out, the biggest early entries were massively floating each other up by the tens of thousands. 4. It took just one to fall, and the house of cards collapsed. 5. I and the rest of the daily grinders remained. It's fun and a nice place to work in this market.

What I have been doing is working away at helping projects get listed, introduce them to REAL business developers with the exchanges, sharing my experiences, do the listings and ALL the paperwork, and helping young teams navigate the turbulent waters of crypto. Young teams love

I was on a Space a month ago (Treat 369) where I shared my experience walking the halls of the CFTC and SEC along with their joint session and panel. I shared that the most remarkable thing I saw was the joint effort. The Chairman of the SEC mentioned it was maybe his third time

Just posted MRE on $ZORA If you followed the politics in the USA, you will get this one :)

Anyone know if there is a story with $CAKE ?

When you are young . . . you get hormones. When you are older . . . you get creativity.

Mrs. Lightspeed going the extra mile to warm them up at my age and now you have to say I have to put them on ice? Like . . . WTF!

Ariana was a JSTARS nav instructor. Part of my flying community. Then she went on to KC-135s. She was a brand-new second lieutenant when I retired. I only knew of her through accolades shared in the good ol' boys and girls network. She was heading to a fast track when she

Successful organizations have leaders at the top that think like this. Those that fail . . . do not. Lesson as old as time. Lacking in this industry is a simple grasp of something called: History.

That supply and demand graph, with its oh-so-perfect crossing of the lines, is the foundation. What you build on top of that on the way to the top of the pyramid gets fuzzier and fuzzier and fuzzier and fuzzier, and algorithms turn into ideas and ideas turn into philosophy and

Take my money.

I'm on one hell of a flaming spree on CoW and AAVE, but this old retired PM has 35 years of painful history trying to prevent billions in waste. Watching it all happen again in the crypto industry. Lessons are not being learned. Had 228 engineers working for me and one
