Welcome to my collection of crypto chronicles. Think of it as a blend of serious, ambitious crypto projects and some good old-fashioned degen fun—very much in line with my Gemini nature.
To develop unique and insightful opinions, I believe in maintaining an open mind and drawing from a wide range of disciplines. This approach helps in spotting trends and forming theses before they become mainstream.
I've spent more than seven years in the industry now. I have a unique perspective as a Crypto Boomer who had no background in tech (I worked in trades and ski resort operations prior). A long road of learning to code, losing money, following failed projects, being exposed to brilliant minds, contributing to DAOs, running grants programs, running a bootstrapped infrastructure business, contributing to open-source repositories, and making money led me to these beliefs and help guide my thinking.
While I know this isn’t an acceptable explanation to a Normie, the easiest word to explain my opinions is Intuition.
But I'll try to boil it down to help others in the following series.
I’ve divided my chronicles into three categories: Retro Revelations, Crystal Ball Gazing, and Narrative Nonsense.
Retro Revelations: These cover the signals and insights that led to forming a thesis about a project. They’ll give you a historical perspective on why certain projects succeeded or failed.
Crystal Ball Gazing: These are my current opinions and predictions. They’re light, easy reads with a couple of project suggestions for those looking to gain exposure or develop their own ideas.
Narrative Nonsense: These tackle current short-term narratives in the industry that are widely accepted but either miss the mark or are completely wrong and will be debunked in the future. (Note: This doesn’t mean you can’t make short-term profits!)
Whether you're a seasoned crypto enthusiast or just looking to dip your toes in, you'll find something to spark your interest and maybe even make you laugh along the way.
