Gm. Gm. In 2025 we have seen the sublimation of crypto into institutional finance and gambling; to some extent branding/advertising. These use cases. The lack of an alt season signals the failure of most other use cases of the web 3 era and the network owner participant thesis. The consumer being consumed won out. Bigger Whales eating smaller fish. Munchety crunch. The desire for nfts now despite failures signals the desire for cultural value, communities and former underdelivered hopes. Heres hoping.

Gm. CT and the crypto are extremely volatile spaces. The desire for success and attention can be an unhealthy place. That’s why a form of meditative practice-discipline which grounds and moves the mind - body towards equilibrium is essential. Otherwise burnout is inevitable.

Upset when things are down and happy when they are up. Is a recipe for disaster. If you’re led by primal aspects of the market, fear and greed. Your fight flight response is constantly triggered and you will make bad decisions and be cooked. Detachment and stillness while observing constant change is a discipline. Thats why the old advise of don’t speculate with what you can’t afford to lose. Have a method suitable for you, know yourself. Is the base starting point. For most it’s hodl and forget. The lessons of meditation are for spiritual development but the mental and physical discipline can be applied to aspects of life. Ironically in the most transient cutthroat part of financial culture, the markets. We can starkly confront the realities of our survival instinct and the way it distorts human mind.
