Going into my third cycle, my goal this time around was to be a silent investor. Stay detached and keep a pulse on the markets. 

That changed when in Labor Day weekend ‘23, there was virtually 0 people active on the timeline, let alone bullish. 

Except for 2 communities, #SPX6900 and #HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu. 

The last remaining retards of the previous cycle that had nowhere else to go, but knew the bull market was imminent, it was going to get more ridiculous than ever, and threw their few remaining dollars into something that still made them laugh when down 90%. 

This is when I knew I needed to stick around them as close as possible. And that regardless of price, I was gonna have fun either way. I just wanted to be in something that I knew would last the rest of the cycle, but I quickly realized these mfers were going generational with their visions. Almost like money was secondary and just having fun on the internet was the main priority. It was such a breath of fresh air. 

Turns out those were the people I waited to find in crypto my whole tenure. And it gave me motivation to start publicly posting and work overtime - for them. There’s no better feeling than watching dope people win. 

Those people are still here today and I doubt they’ll ever leave at this point. There are very few tokenized communities that will last multiple cycles. I truly believe those two still fit the mold, along with a few other frens I met along the way. As long as bitcoin and the stock market are still alive and relevant, so will their bizarro world counterparts. 

Fast forward almost exactly a year later in September ‘24 when my net worth was at ATH but my family got rocked with multiple traumatic events that no amount of money was going to fix. 

That’s when I had to take time off and recalibrate my priorities - faith and family is what got me through the last few months, not money in the slightest. And I knew I still had solid communities to come back to when the time was right. 

Unfortunately I still have some healing to do. I just wanted to show up when everyone was leaving again, letting y’all know my bullishness never changed. But I have to choose “peaceful life over greed” in order to stay on this journey long term. 

I know I’m not special, everyone is going through their own shit. But I did get to learn that you can’t serve two masters. The idea of success has been so bastardized that all I care to possess anymore is my integrity - the scarcest commodity on this planet. 

Therefore my mentality hasn’t changed since September ‘23: if I go to zero - cool. if I go another 100x - cool. The plan wasn’t to sell for a long time anyway, so feel free to use me as your exit liquidity in the meantime :) 

Love you all, enjoy the holidays. I plan to be more active again in the new year. Rest up because 2025 is gonna be a whole other ball game.
