It's only been a couple of months since we knew each other, but the timing was such that it helped form a deeper bond than that — or so I feel. And from that, I’m convinced you totally deserve all the support and love. Forward and beyond 💪

WDYT, anon? 💭 Let's discuss, argue, & make crypto intellectually stimulating again.

Bottom line: You'll always be 2nd if you're chasing trends. Hold conviction & you'll define the future. Market cycles reset short-term attention. So if that's your foundation, you're bound to sink.

For more on the HOW, read Jim's piece on X. He said it better than I ever can (& inspired me to write this post in the first place): https://twitter.com/0xJim/status/1886415122811199502

Positioning > Trends — that's how you win in web3. ✅ Pick a niche. Own it (not “the everything protocol”) ✅ Your project = the first thing people think of in your category ✅ Inspire, motivate people to evangelize your vision Shape the market. DON'T just react to it.

It's the same with memes, really. $DOGE, $SHIB, $PEPE, $BONK, etc. came before the 'Supercycle' & have been around ever since — thriving. Because they built vibrant cultures & communities that go beyond fleeting hype cycles. @murad spoke about this too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nqzwdGxTGc&t=1s

The L2 wars prove this too. • @arbitrum – focus on ecosystem growth, not incentives • @optimism – bet on Superchains & built the OP Stack • @base – leveraged @coinbase's network, not airdrop hunters Meanwhile airdrop-farming L2s went from explosive growth to radio silence 💀

Tribalism aside, building conviction-led moats is why @ethereum, @solana, @uniswap, @phantomwallet — and their likes — win. NOT trend-chasing. They didn't 'pivot' from one shiny object to another, just to grab 'mindshare' or whatever. And that's what you need to outlive hype.

Every cycle has its fads. 2017: ICO boom 2020: DeFi summer 2021: NFT mania 2022: GameFi / Axie clones 2023: RWAs, Solana revival 1000s of projects popped up. Most aren't relevant anymore. AND the ones that stayed focused are now category leaders.

Trends Are Temporary. Conviction Wins. Web3 is obsessed with trends — from NFTs to new L2s to “the next big thing.” But trends fade. What survives? Focus & conviction. If you want to build lasting impact, stop chasing narratives. OWN one. 🧵 : Let’s break it down👇

focus is a differentiator in crypto. perhaps the hardest one to achieve — but the best ROI long-term

“The story is more important than the tech,” wrote Arthur Hayes in an article on being the Chief Story Officer. It talks about the impact of narratives, etc. That's what's happening here imo. Though stablecoins are essentially ERC20s, i.e. nothing new or unique, their story is different from usual ERC20s.

Same with me. It gave me a whole new PoV on activeness, creation, and in/dependence.
