“Here’s how it all works.
You meet rich people.
You hang around with them.
And one night, when they’ve had a few drinks. They say “I’ll buy it.”
Then they tell their friends they must have your work.
So you get your price established.
That’s all you need.”
- Warhol
Your favorite doxxed influencers made millions this year hosting undisclosed paid spaces for garbage you bought and bagheld and now are mad when you call them out
What a world
To my artist friends dropping incredible work in this brutal market and not having instant sellouts, stay patient, persistent, and keep your head up.
It’s rough out here and a lot of collectors are bleeding ETH / $ and don’t have sizable non-crypto related income streams ❤️💙🫡
Young dudes who get rich from shitcoins and then make their entire personality about going to clubs and getting fucked up 24/7 shouldn’t be your role models
If you’re paying $100 in gas to buy $100 worth of a shitcoin you’ll need to pay $100 in gas to sell it, so you’re hoping for the price to go up 3x to breakeven…
Know what type of game you’re playing before you sit down at the table friends
I didn’t want to live the same life my parents and grandparents lived.
30+ years working manual labor to barely be able to retire comfortably.
I knew I had to do something different.
Went all in crypto during the late 2017 cycle, made a little, lost it all by November 2018.…
@DeeZe
how do you start thinking about turning nothing into something/ everything ?
this is coming from someone who doesn’t trade actively as far as coins go
How I fucked up a generational bull market multiple ways:
1) Fumbled $10M+, walked away with 25%~ after taxes.
2) Spent the entire bull with one company, equity went to $0
3) Didn't start a newsletter or diversity my audience much outside of Twitter. Now, 10% of my audience…
if you want to gamble on shitcoins
(not financial advice of course, be a degen at your own risk)
1) take an amount of ETH you're willing to set on 🔥 and move it to a new wallet
2) go to dextools dot io
3) look at the hot potatos
4) look at which ones have 0% buy and sell…
For me, basic things are:
- never leverage (I know myself too well)
- 10% of liquid holdings sold anytime I screenshot and send to group chat
- tax money parked in treasuries, not UST
- keep 10% of post tax profit for art I love
- if NFT bag ever reaches 8 figures again, half…
Did you spend any time over the last two years journaling what went right and wrong?
Did you learn from previous experience and come up with a plan going forward?
I promise if you’re just winging it, it is going to be harder to make it (and keep it)
people saying things like "crypto died today"..."this is the worst thing to ever happen"..."trust is gone"...etc.
is this a big hit? yes
is crypto dead? never
Crypto is over man I’m out. Goodbye everyone was nice meeting you all and learning about whatever you think. Good luck on all your endeavors. Will leave this account up for a while before I delete it for good.
Tell your friends you love and appreciate them. You never know what they’re going through and you never know the last time you’ll talk to them
I just got some terrible news that I lost a dear friend and I can’t stop thinking about what I could’ve said or done differently 😭😭🙈
will never forget the time I asked for an $8,000 raise at my shitty IT job during the last bear market and my manager called me "childish, unprofessional, and immature"
been talking to a few artist friends who minted a gobbler and can change their life but they're hesitant to sell because "what if price keeps going up?"
my advice to anyone in this situation is to realize the gain and change your life
you never know how long prices will sustain

@MrsDeeze
and I have officially been together for 9 years 🤯
she's been by my side through the lowest of the lows and the highest of the highs.
can't imagine what the next 9 years will bring us but I know we'll comfily navigate any waters together💙❤️
Dump the ape my dude most holders are in the same scenario as you and you’ll be selling it for a 50% discount after more holders realize they don’t even own their homes and need shit irl not a picture of an ape
using the Bitcoin chain makes you realize how unusable this shit is ngl
makes ETH look like state of the art tech
then you use an L2 and ETH feels unusable
then you use SOL and L2s feels unusable
crazy
hate to say this but almost everyone I know has sold 80%+ of their presale allocation by now
chart looks like this
10am in beijing...
dare I say it?
higher
Often see people talking about the thriving culture on Tezos and why more collectors should collect there.
While the art culture over there is great, the opportunity cost of using a base currency that raised way too much during the ICO days and has failed to deliver real value…
Seeing a lot of cope around missing BOME and other hot memecoins
Choosing rich is a mindset
If you want to make redacted money, you have to embrace redacted
This type of shit isn’t for everyone
Volatile swings and 24/7 markets can drive you insane
Get comfy missing shit…
In December, I threw 0.4 ETH into a fresh shitcoin
I had around 3% of the supply
Mcap went to 15M
My bag was worth over $300K at the peak
I had a bunch of friends in the same token and didn’t want to Hiroshima the chart with a -35% candle
I walked away with $25K profit and…
Spent a few hours today updating my
@0xDecaArt
gallery
eventually want to have 100% of the pieces I love in this gallery with an infinite scroll type vibe.
feels like I'm 66-75% of the way there 🥵
@koreanjewcrypto
This was a trade for half the tokens and it registered as zero. Trade went through and was approved. So what’s the deal?
Tried it several times.
Another guy on telegram is trying to explain also. Not trying to FUD here.
As 👑 of the

Most people treat crypto and nfts like investments which is fine but I think more of my success comes from treating this all like a big game and treating ETH like my in game currency
talking to other bigger collectors about all of the "burn x to receive y, burn 2x to receive z, hold abcdefghij to receive qrstuvwxyz airdrops, etc."
sounds like we're mostly fuckin confused and tired
if u spam me to buy your NFT just so you can put my name in a screenshot with 100+ other nft owners and brag about me being onboard daily im not buying in
Love the fuck it attitude I’m seeing from fellow grinders who are fed up with people who came in 2021 and are leaving now while trying to throw a pity party on their way out
Nature is healing
To anyone who made life changing money over the last week.
1) change your life with it
2) make sure you don’t get fucked on taxes
Don’t do that thing where you roll all of the gains into new shitcoins and spend the rest on art before withdrawing any to the bank.
Miamijuana is the fourth installment in my monthly series, obviously an ode to 💨🍃

I will not mint any hyped open editions in this bull market

6529 fund making one of the best risk-adjusted plays in the space, buying up so much grail art
worst case, they lose $ supporting amazing artists
best case, they have the grails of the next renaissance
Once you ruin your reputation taking millions from idiots to launch multiple shitcoin rugs, you don’t get to act like you’re some big art collector with good taste who deserves love from the artists and greater community
