Today I turn 40.

No big party. No bucket list trip.
Just a quiet moment to reflect.

40 years of learning, failing, changing, creating, and rebuilding. And if there’s one thing I know now—it’s that I can’t do it alone.

For my birthday, I don’t want superficial items. All I want is support for something that matters.

We must organize to make an impact—even something as small as $1 from a big community can shift the narrative and help someone in need.

You want a better future for Web3? You want real change? It starts with small gestures. A little faith in a stranger—even in a space where 99% of strangers are trying to rip you off. 😉

This is my mission. If you’ve ever believed in what I do—help me push it forward.

Thank you for being here. That already means a lot. 🤝
Two months ago, I couldn't stand job interviews. 😩

Now?
I can’t wait for one.

It’s the only time people actually listen,
ask questions about everything I do—
and even want to hear more in a second interview. 🎯

Funny how perspective changes.
Thank you for the immense support and for being the first donor! 🙏✨

It truly means the world.
I’ll be smiling for the rest of the day. 🤗

The creatures from Plankton will definitely build you a monument! 🐠🏛️

All it took was a fake tech support call.
In minutes, $5,000 AUD—gone.

Not sure about you, but I don’t trust anything Meta says. 🤷‍♂️🧐

Needed a break from the screen. 🚴‍♂️🌿

Went for a canal-side bike ride and spotted this guy—
just standing there, chill as ever, probably thinking about life.

One in a million moment to see this bird so close.

Sometimes you just need to look around.
You might notice something no one else has.

Stop. Take a moment. Enjoy. 🧘‍♂️
Looks exciting for Plankton

What a good morning for a new pet. 🕷️🕸️
Hope this one won’t leave me... 😭

Omg—while I was texting this,
he’s already gone.

The cruel, pet-less life continues 😭

Happy Friday! 😄

Gaming Industry Is Struggling. 🎮

These two posts really highlight the issue:
Most game developers now aim to make games addictive,
not fun or entertaining.

That’s the problem.

🚨 1 Billion Users? Not So Fast.

If we bring 1 billion users into Web3 today, we won’t just be scaling innovation—we’ll be feeding the scammers.

📉 2023 global scam losses: $1 TRILLION
💸 2023 Web3 scam losses: $30 BILLION
🔮 Projected by 2026 with 1B users: $150 BILLION in scam-related losses

Before we scale, we need education.

📚 1. We Need Education Before Abstraction
Simplifying the UX is great, but it’s not enough. People also need to be taught:
🔵 How to spot scams
🔵 Basics of cybersecurity
🔵 Ethics and values in digital spaces

Web3 companies should allocate real budgets to educational initiatives—not just UX polish.

I'm personally building an educational game that tackles scams through storytelling:

But I can't do it alone—collaborators and support welcome.

Plankton - Rejected. But Still Building. 💥

Failure? Just an excuse for a short self-pity party.
But when the party’s over—learn, level up, try again.

7 days off social media gave me time to breathe and build.
I dusted off an old project I’m passionate about:

🎨 Redesigned characters
📖 Reworked the story
🌐 Built a new website
📝 Wrote how it helps the community

Sleepless nights.
Trying new things.
Hoping for support.

And then—rejected.

So I took the feedback, updated the site and UI, and kept going.
Maybe next time.
Maybe a different grant.
Maybe the right people will finally see the value.

Until then, I’ll keep building. 🚀

Veiled – Our Design Process 🎨✨

I'll walk you through my process.

1) It began with curiosity. I asked ChatGPT: "Can you design a bow that shoots arrows at the speed of sound?" (I love fantasy bows.) In another chat, I explored real-world physics, asking if such a bow could realistically exist. This sparked a fascinating hour-long conversation.

2) Realizing a real-world bow at bullet speed was impossible, I suggested adding fantasy and magic—a perfect fit for the magical world of Veiled. Then, I asked ChatGPT and Midjourney to imagine how this fantasy bow might look.

Love This Movie: "The Imitation Game." 🎬✨

There's an insane amount of genius out there—
people who can create the unimaginable,
solve the world’s greatest puzzles and toughest issues.

Yet, in so many cases, they're:

🔹 Held back by social norms
🔹 Paralyzed by mundane admin tasks
🔹 Reviewed and tested by "normies"
🔹 Labeled loners, weirdos, or "unfit"

Society needs to learn how to spot and support genius—
not crush it.

Watched Cabrini. 🎬✨

What kind of world do we want?
And what are we willing to do to achieve it?

It’s unbelievable how much this woman accomplished.
Imagine a giant, worldwide corporation—but instead of profit, its mission is to help people.

The Best Explanation of ADHD. 💡🔥

We are brilliant, capable of unmeasurable creativity—
Yet constantly hindered by the most boring processes and limited minds.

To be creative, we first have to endure mind-numbing interviews
that prove nothing—except that someone can say what you want to hear.

And the irony?
Companies asking for "outside-the-box thinking" and "innovation"
always end up hiring more of the same. 🤦‍♂️
For Those Building Social Media Platforms…@dwr.eth

This is what artists need. 🎨🎶
We’re tired of our work disappearing under noise in seconds.

Build something that values creativity, not just engagement farming.
