How I Degen 101 Lesson 1 - Find Your Tribe People always say your "Network is your Net-worth" but I like to say "Find your Tribe and you'll vibe." Being a part of a close circle of friends that you trust, often times help you progress quicker into understanding multiple niches within the crypto industry. There's no 1 person who is able to stay up 24/7 to try to know everything about all the narratives that are happening, they'll burn out eventually. You need a group that you trust, a group that you know is there for everyone's best interest and not shy to also voice their opinions and concerns if they see things differently. If you're in a group where everyone is bulls, you'll miss out on different view points and not see both sides of the story. Same thing vice versa, if the groups full of bears, it seems all doom and gloom with everyone following one direction. Your Tribe needs to have true "Buidlers". People who might be lurking in the telegram group but you know they're heads down building out their vision. This is where the true ALPHA lies. Here's my steps on how to connect your tribe/tribes so that each circle interacts with one another and what I recently did: Step 1: 1) Host a private dinner with @TwiceInABluMoon to invite frens and buidlers together. 2) Only invite people you trust and isn't there just to value extract and really want to connect. 3) Talk about what everyone is building/what you're focusing on now. Trevor's vision on Ai and what @degents_ai is building with Ai Agents. Me & how I see multiple sub-niches forming in RWAs and why community is EVERYTHING. 4) Have Fun and enjoy the time you have with everyone. There's a million other events during crypto conferences and places to go see, people to meet, & meetings to attend. They chose to take their time out and attend your event and interact with everyone. Everyone's time is valuable but it feels more special knowing that everyone there is there because they want to and because they're there to hangout with you. 5) Make special moments. I decided to open up a mystery pokemon pack live by letting Esther click the reveal button on @Courtyard_io. I'm telling you with good vibes in your tribe, magic happens. We pulled a Charizard and everyone went WILD. Enjoying moments like this with your tribe, further deepens your bonds together and validates your support network. We'll have ups and downs but together we'll weather out any storm. Rain or shine. A personal quote that I live by is "A yacht without friends is called a lonely yacht." Special thanks to @degents_ai for hosting the dinner and all the friends that showed up.

2 minutes until Ethereum's Pectra Upgrade

Don't roundtrip now cause the new Fud Wave is "Tariffs". If you were here since last cycle, you've survived: - Luna Crash - Celsius / Blockfi / Voyager - FTX - NFTs/ GameFi / DeFi going -99% - Alts bleeding to Btc - Memecoin Casino - DeFi Hacks - Exchange Hacks - SEC serving Ripple/Coinbase/Kraken/Binance/Uniswap/ImmutableX - Bitcoin going to 17k - Harmony Hack - Ronin Hack - Phemex/Wazirx/Bybit Hack - Trump/Melania Token - ETF Outflows - Japan Carry Trade - China's Evergrande Bankruptcy The list can continue on and on. But you're still here. I wonder if I missed any major headlines. Lmk 👇

Stay patient and zoom out. Max Pain = Max Reward. Markets have been stop hunting the liquidations non-stop in the smaller time frames so be diligent and don't round trip your bags before btc melts faces. I do predict the infamous "Darth Maul" candle to kill both shorts and longs before the new trend direction takes full effect. The market is GREEDY and wants to wreck as many positions as possible before a reset.
