1. You're afraid of writing that post
2. You think you're not good enough.
3. You're scared of replying in the comments.
4. You don't want to be called a FRAUD.
Well, spoiler alert โ โ
I was afraid too, but I slayed my fears and I got the WIN. Here's my story...
___________________
It was a cold Friday night, 11:32 pm. I was sipping my white coffee when I saw the post on X.
I almost spilled the coffee, as I cursed out loudly... Holy sh*ttt!
It was a $10,000 video contest, 10 f*cking grand!
One winner, winner takes it all.
Is this my big break?
I called my buddy/videographer, King Anyi, and shouted excited over the phone...
"๐๐ค, ๐๐ง๐ค... ๐๐'๐ซ๐ ๐๐ค๐ฉ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ๐ช๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐ฎ, ๐ก๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ข๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ง".
But he said he wasn't in town, and would recommend someone else to me.
I didn't want someone else, I wanted someone who will sacrifice skin in the game, I wanted King Anyi, so...
I gave up on the whole idea, I was afraid I couldn't pull off creating a great content with Anyi not being in town.
Don't stop reading โโ
___________________
Then on Sunday, after the preacher's sermon, I grabbed my fears by the balls.
I called Anyi ๐ฑ, took the recommendation, and set up a new plan to create a $10k winning content.
- I had 5 days to do this.
- I had a $150 budget.
- I had a team of 5.
- I was anxious.
But here is what we did โ
โข I wrote the scripts and did my facials on Monday.
โข I went to the saloon to do a box braid with Brazillian wool on Tuesday.
โข Rehearsed and spent the whole of Wednesday shooting the video with my team.
โข Sent the video files ๐ interstate to Anyi on Thursday, to edit (5+ hours drive).
โข Got the deliverable video file 12:00pm on Friday from Anyi, and submitted before the 05:00pm deadline.
It was a "fast and furious" kind of production.
I felt like Vin Diesel and a bit of Dwayne Johnson!
Did we win? Read on to find out โ
___________________
I had just got back home from watching the games with my brothers on Saturday.
I had pasta cooking on the stove when I saw the announcement post.
The results were out.
I LOST.
I f*cking lost.
I gave this my all.
โ Time.
โ Money.
โ Sleepless nights.
And I FAILED.
The next two days were hell.
I wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.
I felt I wasn't good enough.
I felt like a fraud.
So I picked up my writing pad and went back to creating content (My 9 to 5).
Then it happened โ
___________________
Another opportunity to win $2000 grand prize from @SamuelXeus's contest.
I had my doubts and bias, and remember...
I had crushed my fears earlier by the balls and it punched me in the face, so...
โ What do I have to lose now ๐คทโโ๏ธ?
I wrote the thread, as creatively as I could, and attached my video to it (My pinned post).
I submitted alongside 500+ other participants.
I didn't think I could win, at least not the $2k grand prize.
Guess what???
___________________
I WON! (I'm tearing up right now ๐คง).
I f*cking won the grand PRIZE.
I cried, I laughed, I cried again.
It still feels surreal.
An underdog.
This was not the end โโ
___________________
2 hours later, I won the grand prize of another writing contest.
Currently in collaboration with top Web3 projects, creating content.
There's more to say, but...
I want to stop the tears from pouring out... lol ๐ โบ.

Grab your fears by the balls.
Do that thing, what's the worst that could happen?
Instead of thinking โ what if I don't win?
Think โ what if I win?
Yeah, you might not win, but...
Just keep showing up, eventually you will win.
My big win is coming, your big win is coming.
And I believe this with all my being.
You've got this Champ!
PS: Grabbing my fears by the balls, I will be hosting my first ๐ space this Friday. Turn on ๐!

bought about 500k of uniswap. it's on fomo.
mostly done buying, kept a little back in case midterms give us a dump
boring pick? maybe, but uni is one of the few things in crypto with an actual product, actual users, and a track record across multiple cycles. the tokenomics were the problem for years and that got fixed last december, fee switch is on and it buys back and burns now. not governance trash anymore
the main thesis is simple
tokenized stocks, rwa, institutions, all of it is moving on chain and i think most of it lands on ethereum. uni benefits from all those flows. many thought this was going to happen in '24, but instead got dumped on relentlessly. what if it happens, but a cycle later?
the secondary thesis is memes. if memes are a big part of this cycle, and i think they eventually will be, robinhood chain routes through uniswap. so the casino side of crypto pays uniswap too. maybe robinhood chain comes back, maybe it doesn't, but a wealth effect from majors brings on chain back at least once and uni catches that flow either way
chart wise, uni/btc has been above the weekly ichi cloud for 2 months. in 2024 it broke above for one week and got smacked right back in. this time it held and it's riding the kijun. there's bear div on the 3d but rsi bounced off 50 and is curling up.
all in all, strong uptrend against btc, which is how i judge alts
let's ride
Day 580 โ๏ธ
I don't take the little things for granted.
Got disappointed today, and opened a bottle of wine.
Shared it with my neighbour btw (can't finish a whole bottle)

binance got hacked for $6.3B, the biggest hack in crypto history
but i think the market won't dump as hard as it did after bybit hack, here's why ๐
๐น bybit vs binance
bybit had to borrow $ETH from other exchanges to stay 1:1 to cover the gap
binance is going to cover the gap from its own pocket:
- $6.34B set aside
- $5B already in the exact coins that got stolen
- cold storage untouched
๐น this time hacker took stablecoins
tether + circle froze ~$2.6B almost instantly, ~$3B frozen total so far
he panicked trying to swap USDT into ETH before the freeze and paid up to 38% above market, lost ~$119M on bad swaps alone
๐ธ coins that might benefit here from this
the hacker already dumped 7 alts for ETH:
$UNI $ENA $PEPE $LINK $AAVE $ONDO $WLD
~$158M sold and only ~$23M of alts left
this is most probably lazarus again
they dump alts first because they're hard to launder in size, while BTC they sit on and sell slowly through OTC desks over months, so no big market dump
to keep users 1:1, binance has to buy every one of them back
for ENA, UNI, PEPE and AAVE that's 7-15% of binance's holdings
the seller is done already but the buyer hasn't finished yet
๐ธ why i think the market won't dump as hard
after bybit, $BTC fell from ~$96K to under $80K and everyone blamed the hack
wrong, it dumped because tariff panic hit the same week
this time:
- no macro shock stacked on top
- ~$1.7B in leverage already flushed
- fear & greed already at 30
- ~$3B frozen, the rest covered
and you can hate @cz_binance or binance all you want but they will never abandon their users
binance annual revenue: 15B+
cz net worth: $100B+
binance custody assets: $140B+
they will make sure to take care of their users like always

Binance would need a couple of months to fill this hole, unless they use other shady tactics to get whole faster.
The hacker has $BTC worth $1.4b and $ETH worth $1b ready to sell. For $BTC, that's more than 3x the $450M that spot ETFs bought all week.
If this is like the Bybit hack, then buying back coins could create meaningful demand. But thereโs a large potential seller on the other side. With that said, I like the $BTC setup enough to take a position.
My thought here is that Binance will 100% recover from this. But after this + October 10, another incident like this gives traders another reason to reconsider how much money they keep on CEXes (which is why we saw a huge spike in the $HYPE price after the hack).
Decentralized exchanges for the win.
Just keep your eyes open and be in the arena.
Not everything will go up, and it won't be easy.
There's lots of talk on the timeline about whether we will see a real alt season ever again. But if you're a trader, that isn't really the question. The question is whether there's enough liquidity left to make money in the current market as it is. And if you open your eyes, the market keeps giving us new things to trade.
Even in the summer of 2023, when literally nothing happened, we had some runners in $UNIBOT and $RLB. And remember after $BTC topped in 2021, we had many altcoins that topped way later (SOL, LUNA, AVAX around April 2022). Then there were NFTs.
It's a frustrating period now for sure, will $BTC go to 85k or 75k next, and who knows, really. Hold quality coins spot, and trade perps on news and narratives. Today we had $HYPE pumping hard on the Druckenmiller news. Personally sold this trade at $90-91, so I missed the Elon pump, but still a good gain.
And if you missed today, well, something new will come tomorrow or next week. Just keep your eyes open and be in the arena. Not everything will go up, and it won't be easy. But IMO, there's still a lot worth showing up for.
Wrap it up already aunty
Your drama is trivial when we dealing with a $6.3 billion hack and lower prices fgs
Recap with more proofs
This guy is the one who started the chaos and came to my house with 6 guys and was threatening my parents and i. That i scammed him and he was given my phone number, name and house address by Mitchelle
