Year end is a good time to reflect. I believe 2026 is going to be a start of a new chapter in my life. But to do that you have to put the past behind.
I've spent the last 4 years of my life building in crypto. This is my story.
If you have to take one thing out of it, it would be this
"Sometimes you know things, but you only truly understand them after living through the pain. My biggest learning from this year of building, especially when I contrast it with the three years before, is the importance of reducing cycle time. The faster you move and learn, the faster you get to something genuinely valuable. If I had internalized this one lesson earlier, I would have saved myself years."
