Talking feels like progress Planning feels like achievement It isn’t The biggest trap in building anything, startups, products, careers, is substituting talk for action You brainstorm Debate strategy Attend meetings Write elaborate docs It gives you a dopamine hit Feels productive But nothing is actually moving Ideas are worthless without execution Execution is uncomfortable, messy, & rarely glamorous Which is why it’s so easy to get stuck in the illusion of progress Here’s the problem with over-talking: - It gives false validation before you’ve built anything - It burns energy on hypotheticals instead of real outcomes - It delays failure, the thing you actually need to learn Action forces feedback Feedback leads to growth Growth is what gets you closer to success Minimize talk, maximize doing Build, ship, iterate, repeat If the cost of your talking outweighs your doing, you’re already losing

Being a founder demands tenacity, endurance, commitment, & an almost irrational optimism It’s about showing up every day, giving everything to your vision, & pushing forward no matter how impossible it feels These traits aren’t optional, they’re essential Founders live in a relentless cycle of trial, failure, & resilience, refusing to give up This unwavering drive must be ingrained in your DNA Founding isn’t something you dabble in; it’s an all-or-nothing game It tests you mentally, physically, & emotionally, forcing you to question everything Yet, within this struggle lies meaning The voluntary self-sacrifice that comes with founding a company gives life a unique, unshakable purpose You reject comfort, embrace risk, & pursue a vision of the future only you can see Founders don’t just build companies They build meaning

You don’t need to know how to write code to vibe code But if you can’t interpret code, you're stumbling in the dark Imagine being in a country where you don’t speak or understand the language You try ordering a dish with specific dietary restrictions using only hand gestures That’s vibe coding without understanding LLM outputs Now imagine you vaguely understand the waiter’s words You’re not fluent, but your odds of success improve significantly If you can’t interpret LLM-generated code, ask it to explain itself: - Why it made specific decisions - How errors happened - What its outputs mean Example prompt: "Check the console for errors, explain the issue, why it happened, & how your solution works. Teach me to spot similar problems in the future. Suggest fixes & help me to troubleshoot independently." LLMs don’t just write code, they can also explain it Ask the right questions & you’ll notice the patterns Soon, you won’t just vibe code You’ll actually get it

After nearly a decade building in crypto, I understand how easy it is to feel the pull of cynicism The voices saying "no use cases" or "no real users" get louder over time The belief that everyone is here to extract, speculate, or gamble starts to feel undeniable It’s a gravitational force dragging builders toward resignation Yes, crypto is full of grifters, scammers, & opportunists But reducing it all to speculation is just quitting disguised as critique Crypto’s roots matter: self-sovereignty, freedom, control over money, data, & identity These ideas aren’t optional, they’re essential Finding real PMF is hard, but giving up is easy Progress takes time If you’re tired, jaded, questioning why you’re still here Remember why you started The vision is alive The mission still matters The future of crypto is bright Keep building
