I’m excited to announce my new role as Growth Lead at @plumenetwork! 🐦‍🔥 6 months ago, I had my first call with @chriseyin and surprisingly, he changed my mind. I was skeptical of a web3-native project trying to bridge the traditional world into ours. His thesis of a permissionless blockchain environment was antithesis to what I believed in at the time. After about 45 minutes of deep discussion, I could finally see it. I dropped all of my other RWA investment prospects and pointed myself towards Plume. From there, things got quiet for a while. Myself and the @280Capital partners debated the RWA sector as a whole and quietly observed Plume’s progress on the sidelines. Fast forward a few months and I had finally realized a thesis of my own; In crypto, you’ll generally find two key types of participants: speculators and yield chasers. Speculators lower their risk threshold in search of the next 100x, closely following trends and trying to capture opportunities early. It is a game that requires forward-thinking, intuition, and a lot of luck. These people range in financial status, with some looking to make their first bucket of gold, with the others trying to hit another big win and buy their second lambo. Yield chasers are a different breed of folks. They may not want to ape their entire portfolio into memes, rather they enjoy the attractive returns that DeFi offers that they generally wouldn’t be able to find in the traditional world. These folks generally aren’t looking for lambo, but believe that they will still be living well without the stress of going to zero. But as we see every cycle, Bitcoin crashes, DeFi collapses, and another round of fuzzy-haired fellas find their way over to the Metropolitan Detention Centre. Crypto dies, retail gets burned, the regulators swoop in and start raising hell, and the cycle repeats. Why does it have to be this way? Of course market cycles are natural and perhaps healthy, but why the catastrophe at the end each time? There must be a better way. And then it hit me. RWAfi is and always was the answer. The road at the end of all roads. It’s a nice road, paved with the blood, sweat, and tears of those truly trying to connect the entire world to our industry. Whether you made a major bag and want to move into wealth preservation or lost it all and no longer want to live the life of a degenerate gambler and are comfortable with a more stable approach to wealth building, eventually, everyone ends up chasing juicy yields. And we all know that there is only one sector of our industry that can consistently deliver attractive yields through bull and bear. There is only one sector that can support all the TVL that is currently sitting in vaults that are unable to sustain the yields they promised. The nature of the vertical makes it constantly aware of regulatory considerations. RWAfi is a sleeping giant, and not only will it unlock a $400T market, it will also catalyze an incredible amount of growth resembling tens of trillion in newly created value and opportunity. We are so early. That, paired with the incredible team @teddyP_xyz @shukyeerwa @IvyKangg and the other 40 cracked believers that are pushing beyond their limits is the reason I bet on Plume. We have everything it takes to make it 🤝 I have to give a special shout out to @0xMetable for how supportive he has been with this move. 280 Capital is married to Plume now and I’m sure we will be collaborating on a lot moving forward. Another shoutout to one of the great minds of this industry @jacobkxyz whose conviction in Plume really pushed me to purse this role🙏🏾 Vibes are all-time high with this team, and bring a fresh combination of competence, experience, and true belief in the platform that we are building. Mark my words, Plume will unify the RWAfi sector and pave the way as one of the giants of this industry. Let’s fucking do this. 🐦‍🔥 Goons in complete control.

These guys are the true embodiment of the founders' journey. Back when I was working at the @SuiNetwork @SuiFoundation , there where whispers of a group of young bucks that were hungry, dedicated, and passionate about MOVE. Our team didn't know what to make of them, with a tiny team it felt like there were hundreds of Movement team members, relentlessly attending every event evangelizing Move and the importance of opening up Move for all. The team always carried themselves with dignity and respect. It was refreshing to chat with a then pink-haired @livingwithwill talking about collabs on events and other shenanigans. Fast forward to that fateful day when Twitter fingers were running wild, and I witnessed an event that reminded me of when some of the big kids used to pick on me in middle school. It was inspiring to watch @rushimanche fight back against bullying, defending his thesis that Move is for all of us, and we should all unify to bring Move to the forefront of our industry 🙏🏾 I reached out to @rushimanche and asked if he had any space left for a ticket. There and then, I made my first ever investment as a part of @280Capital . From there it was history. We had both Rushi, @coopsmoves, and @livingwithwill living with us at 280 House in Los Altos Hills and it was inspiring to wake up at 5-6 in the morning and see the boys already up (in their underpants) on calls, grinding away ahead of their imminent $38m beast of a round. A lot happened in between, but today is the day we have all been building towards; Day One ⚡️ It's only the beginning of another journey, one that will be filled with challenges, big guys trying to step on them, and hiccups. But one thing we know about them Movement boys and girls is they fight back 💪🏽 I think we can all find inspiration in their story, and for myself personally, I thought when I departed Sui to work with @280Capital , that I may be hanging up my MOVE gloves. The Movement team gave me another opportunity to stick around the ecosystem and remain connected to so many of the incredible builders and enthusiasts I met along the way. For so many lessons learned, I am grateful to be a humble supporter of this historic rise. The ticker is $MOVE. Let's fucking go. 🏛️ #Movement
