A handful of friends have been asking me what's next. For the last couple of months, I wasn't sure. I said I wanted to take a break from crypto, and I explored a lot of other problem spaces. I noticed that no matter what I did, a quarter of my attention kept drifting back to crypto. And I realized how rare my long-term crypto beliefs are (i.e., most people still don't get eth, stablecoins, farcaster, higher, etc.). A lot frustrates me about crypto, but it's still the space that interests me the most. It's where I have an amazing group of friends (y'all), deep knowledge of weird shit, and feel like I can build products that make a big (global), positive impact.

There’s a book I read this summer “callings” by gregg levoy. It’s a little woo woo but it posits that when you have a calling - it consistently resurfaces. But most people suppress their callings because it’s not the most practical. And to act on the calling (for you, again in crypto) may require great sacrifice. Don’t ignore the magnetic pull if you sense it

This definitely resonates with where I'm at right now. Short term bearish on where things are going, but long term bullish on the possibilities of the technologies. I'm starting to think that (for me at least) the right play is to just consider crypto as infrastructure... it's part of the journey, not the destination.

I've felt similar feelings + been in similar places. One of the things that helped me most during that downtime was spending time with people who made me feel less weird for what I thought about / wanted to do with my life. LMK if you ever want to vent - I'm always happy to listen :)

for me one thing was clear, the technology and its culture yeah, there are so many things to be improved, but that's actually what motivates me. happy you'll be around!

💜 💜 💜 Crypto can definitely be frustrating to build in...when the casinos get all the attention... But still lots of open space, even if it's not the current hyped thing. Lots of opportunity at AI + crypto at the moment. Would love to see you explore that space!

If impact is what is important to you, Crypto, AI and energy a biotech are the best places to be.

I honestly don't know anything other than crypto 😅, and I think after being here for a long time , any other markets would just feel boring - STAY!

hey Jayme, you might consider setting aside a bit of your time to help people in the crypto space during this period. There are plenty of projects that could really benefit from your experience and generosity, and they might even spark some new inspiration for you too
