Hey friends, it’s JC. I had a bit of a realisation recently. I’m a creator. Not just someone who likes crypto. Not just someone trying to break into the industry. But a builder at heart. That word creator used to sound kind of fluffy to me. But now? It feels real. The more I lean into Web3, AI, and tech in general… the more I realise this isn’t just about getting a job or working in the space, it’s about building. Building products. Building relationships. Building a life that actually reflec...

Hey y’all, JC here again. I’ve been thinking about how much of my journey in crypto so far has happened in the DMs. Not on a stage. Not in some investor meeting. Not even through job boards or hiring posts. But in casual messages. Late-night convos. Random replies that turned into deep chats. It’s wild how underrated DMs are in this space. Crypto is chaotic, noisy, and fast but it also means something. If you genuinely show up, share your thoughts, and engage in the comments… people notice. A...

Hey Y'all It's JCLet’s talk Web3 and why most people get it twisted. To a lot of outsiders, Web3 looks like a hype machine. Tokens pumping, influencers shouting, rugs flying. And yeah, there’s noise. But that’s not the point. Web3 isn’t just about price action. It’s about ownership. It’s about the freedom to earn, hold, spend, and share without needing anyone’s permission. No matter where you’re from, who you are, or what your background is, you should have access. That’s what this space is a...

Hey y’all! It’s JC Let’s get one thing straight, I don’t have a fancy job title in crypto. I’m not a founder. I’m not leading a protocol. I’m not backed by a VC. Not (yet). But I’m still here. Still writing. Still learning. Still connecting with people across the world. Still showing up. And you know what? That counts. I think a lot of people get stuck thinking they need permission. Like they need to land the perfect role, raise capital, or have 100K followers before they’re allowed to contri...

Hey y’all! It’s JC Crypto’s a 24/7 jungle. I’ve been in this space since 2018, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned the hard way, it’s that without a solid toolkit, you’ll either drown in noise or get wrecked chasing the wrong info. Back in the day, I used to flip between a number of different apps and tabs, obsessively checking price action like it was oxygen. Now? I keep things lean, simple, and useful. So today I’m breaking down what I actually use every day, apps, platforms, news sources...

________________________________________________________________________________________ Hey y’all! It’s JC This one’s a bit different, because I’m writing it before there’s even a product. No big idea. No pitch deck. No code. Just the decision: I’m going to build something in Web3. I don’t know exactly what it is yet, a dApp, a platform, a product but I know the space I want to build in, and I know I want to create something meaningful that lives on-chain and serves real people. That’s where...

Hey y’all! It’s JC There’s this idea that building in Web3 is all devs, chains, wallets, and contracts. And sure, yeah, it is that. But it’s also memes. Late-night DMs. Telegram chaos. Twitter threads that spark million-dollar DAOs. It’s culture. That’s what hit me again this morning. I’m building. Slowly. Still looking at a product. Still finalising the exact use case. But every convo, every little test, every blog I write like this… it’s culture being shaped. Web3 isn’t just something you l...

Hey friends — it’s JC I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately… Why build on-chain? Like, out of all the things I could be doing why choose the harder, slower, more public route? Because let’s be real, building on-chain isn’t easy. It’s not some fancy tech flex. You’re basically choosing to write code that anyone can inspect, question, or fork. Forever. But that’s also kinda the point. When you build on-chain, you’re not just shipping a product, you’re building in the open. People can see w...

__________________________________________________________________________________________ Hey y’all — it’s JC Woke up today to a sea of red across the board. Bitcoin down. Alts bleeding. The kind of day where people start panicking, timelines get loud, and everyone’s either dooming or calling bottoms. But for me? This isn’t a surprise. It’s just part of the game. These moments are why strategy matters. Markets don’t go up forever. And if you’ve been here long enough, you know that. You also ...

Hey y’all! It’s JC Earlier this week, I caught up with a crypto startup for a coffee. We’d been introduced through someone in my network, one of those low-key intros that just clicks. They wanted my opinion on a product they’ve been building, so I sat down, no expectations, just curious to see what they were working on. And let me tell you, I left fired up. What they’ve built is seriously impressive. The platform, the onboarding flow, the integrations, the tech stack… it’s clean, polished, an...
