Only 3 Things Work in Crypto Now We're talking these three use-cases: - you can be in ISSUING assets - you can be in TRANSFERRING assets - or you need to be in SWAPPING/Trading assets That's all. Nothing else in this space really works. Not saying there can't be more things that work in the future, but definitely not in the foreseeable one.

No one disrupts at scale alone. Pull in the right people early, build it together, and make it theirs. When there’s real ownership it stops being your thing and becomes the thing and that’s what people stay for.

Why I Ditched Social Feeds for a Private Notebook There used to be tens of blogging platforms you could use for free. It seemed like the internet was only going to get better. Apparently, it only got worse. I was recently looking for a platform for random, not-yet-fully-formed thoughts. I don’t want to pay for it because it’s just a hobby, not a business. No multimedia, nothing big—just pure writing. Asking the LLMs got me nowhere but frustrated. The Landscape: Social Networks vs. Pure Text Turned out my only obvious choices were big social networks like X, BlueSky, or Farcaster (the decentralized version of X). Or other networks like Nostr or Lens. Even Tumblr is still kicking, which surprised me because I thought it died years ago. But proper blogging platforms have too much UI overhead just to post a short thought. Micro-blogging it is. Golden Rule of Capture For Me: If the friction to post a random thought requires more than two clicks, your framework is broken. Keep the pipeline stupidly simple. My old favorite from 2020, Write.as, was beautifully designed just for writing and supported anonymous posts. They had a free tier and an iOS app. Too bad that app hasn’t seen an update in seven years, and the free tier is dead. Starting at nine bucks a month for a fun side project makes zero sense. Then there is Micro.blog and Mataroa. Mataroa is too techie and lacks a native iOS app. Micro.blog almost won because five bucks a month is cheap, but I really didn’t want to pay. Bear Blog was another clean possibility, and I thought about Substack Notes, but you can’t download your data in bulk. Once it’s posted there, it’s lost unless you screenshot it. The Pivot to an Unexpected Creative Vault I thought I’d be swimming in options, but it felt like choosing different types of pain. Since nobody likes pain, I almost gave up. I didn’t want to use Apple Notes because it gets chaotic too fast. Then I had a last-minute idea: I created a private collection (like a notebook) inside the Sublime.app. I am chronologically saving my thoughts there. The magic happens when I review my text. Sublime resurfaces potentially relevant ideas and notes from other users inside the ecosystem. Reviewing my random thoughts became a much more fun and inspiring experience than I ever expected. If you haven’t tried the Sublime app yet, you need to. For creative thinkers, it is a brutally under-promoted and under-appreciated tool! Definitely let me know how you like it

God keeps bringing me back to one word this week: endurance. The spiritual off-season is a lot like the athletic off-season. Nobody’s watching. The work is grueling. You’re being stretched in ways that don’t feel productive. But it’s the season where you grow the most — if you don’t quit. This week tested that in real time. Next week is the one-year anniversary of losing my Dad. So everything has been heavier. Grief has a way of showing up and making ordinary things feel impossible. And yet — the grant for a project I’ve been working toward was initiated yesterday. TallyMarq upgrade sprint starts this weekend. I’m speaking with the United Church of Christ on Tuesday. I launched the Faith Training Journal this week — a guided space for people who are starting (or restarting) their faith practice. All of it in the same week. Heavy and hopeful at the same time. Endurance isn’t about not feeling it. It’s about continuing to move even when everything is heavier. Faith in God’s promise is what carries me through. That’s the only thing I know for sure right now.

Never been a better time to a builder. Start f*ing building. If you are here, start building now! Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. Build it. They may not come but you will, and it’ll be glorious!

Your weak positioning means your AI agentic automation on outbound marketing and sales sucks dick. 🤖 Your weak positioning means your Discord interactions and X messaging sucks dick. Your weak positioning means people visiting your website leave and don't know what you stand for. Your weak positioning means your sales and BD sucks dick because it takes them too long to explain what you even do, instead of building trust, partnerships and selling. So the result is sad - nobody knows what you're doing apart from mining your token - and then you complain about community leaving after TGE. ❤️‍🔥 See the problem? 🫠

I just ran my idea through Foundercheck. Verdict: build it. 8.1/10. Weakest signal was problem severity — good to know before I waste a month on the wrong thing. What would yours score? ☝️ created with @neynar app studio
