i bought crypto on a CEX long before i was actually red pilled. basic BTC, ETH, and yes - ADA buys. years later, a friend kept trying to convince me to “mint some apes” but i couldn’t wrap my head around paying ‘hundreds’ of dollars for monkey jpegs. but i did start self educating myself and fell way down the rabbit hole. i didn’t have anyone to hold my hand, i learned everything the hard way. - paid $80 in gas and waited 2 days to bridge $100 from ETH to Polygon - lost gas war after gas war until i finally learned to adjust manually - returned a ledger after realizing you never buy one from a 3rd party the list goes on and on. i began working FT in crypto in 2022 as the head of growth & ops for Overpriced JPEGs and have since worked with a variety of crypto teams and builders. i worked at a creative agency serving crypto clients alongside @kagami and that’s how i know he’s best in class at UX/UI feedback. great follow if you’re looking for honest, nuanced product takes 👇🏾
