For anyone who hasn't seen it, and isn't yet bullish on Base (probably not many people here), I wrote my thesis on why Base Szn is coming and is my biggest bet this cycle here: https://zeneca33.substack.com/p/base-season-my-thesis

just wanted to share some thoughts from a fairweather farcasterer:

if i'm being brutally honest, the thing that brought me back to farcaster the last two times is "money making opportunities"

last time it was degen, this time it's all the ai coin stuff

yes i do love the platform, i love the innovation, i love the high(er) signal to noise ratio here, the fewer bots, the nicer vibes, the infinitely better customer service, the cool shit and experimentation that's always happening, the curation elements with channels + a global feed, and on and on and on

but i've *always* struggled with being active both here + on twitter, and for better or worse always end up defaulting back to twitter as it not only fills my "crypto info" tank, but also "the rest of the world" stuff

i'm so bullish on farcaster and i *really really really* hope it succeeds over a multi-decade time horizon - and maybe my not being as active here as on twitter is not helping the cause - but well it is what it is, ty for coming to my ted talk

Question for those who straddle the line between here and X - what’s your strategy?

I find it incredibly difficult to keep up with two text-based social media platforms, so I inherently find myself drawn back to spending most of my time on X since it still, imo, is the best way for keeping up to date with the wider crypto space / the world

Any tips?

If your first reaction when seeing any video or photo now isn’t “is this real or AI?” then you’re 100% believing at least some fake garbage being spewed at you

With the election ramping up this is only going to get a million times worse too

Happiness and success is not based on how much you have, but rather on how little you need
OnChain Summer is gonna be fun isn't it

Just nominated @jessepollak for being *the* person I think of when I think of building on base, and then @leal.eth and @rubendinis as two of the four who built this frame (will nominate the other builders tomorrow)

Gonna make an effort to nominate people daily đŸ«Ą
The thing about bull market tops is that they never happen when everyone is worrying that the top is in

They happen when the timeline is batshit euphoric and things have gone full Tulip

For anyone wondering wtf FantasyTop is and why people are obsessing with it, I wrote a few words: https://zeneca33.substack.com/p/letter-51-fantasytop
It’s astonishing (not really) how widely different my feed is here vs Twitter

Blast is the ecosystem to pay attention to for May

Base is the ecosystem to pay attention to for June/July

The best definition of "wealth" that i've ever heard is from Morgan Housel

He says that being wealthy means "being able to do what you want, when you want, with whoever you want, for as long as you want"

Couldn't agree more.

Will mean a different thing for everyone
I’ve come to the belief that if you can’t put in an insane amount of hours, you’re almost certainly going to be far better off with a light touch approach to crypto

Invest, don’t trade

Buy and hold, don’t flip

The bonus is you’ll have a much nicer work life balance too, and be far less stressed out
Life as an introvert who doesn't drink during crypto events is people asking if i'm going to <<insert late night party with hundreds of people, free drinks, and loud music>> and me going "uhhh sorry don't think i'll be able to make that one but.. how about coffee/lunch?!"
Most people grossly underestimate the impact luck has their own success, and overestimate the impact it has on their failures

There’s something very liberating about accepting that most things that happen to you in life are our of your control

Keeps you humble when you’re winning and sane when you’re struggling
If market crashes/corrections like this make you feel sick and nauseous, anxious, etc - it’s a strong indicator you’re over exposed

Nothing better than having a strategy and sticking to it and being unperturbed by days like today

For most people: just spot & chill đŸ§˜â€â™‚ïž
