This week I kept seeing the same dramatic headlines everywhere: Bitcoin plunges. Investors flee. Billions liquidated. Crypto collapses. And as someone who’s still new to this whole Web3 world, I’m not gonna lie — it messed with my head a little. Every time the market dips, the media jumps straight to funeral mode. It’s like they have “Crypto is Dead — Part 87” already drafted and ready to publish. At first, I kind of panicked. If pros are losing billions in liquidations… what chance do beginn...

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what writing online actually means when you’re just starting out. I found the piece on writer coins and it hit-home: it’s less about putting up paywalls or chasing clicks, and more about building something with the people who believe in you early. Traditional subscriptions are great for some folks — but here’s what I felt: if I’m new to writing, asking people to pay feels weird. What I really want is people who are along for the journey, who believe I hav...

It’s officially Day 2 of my Paragraph journey, and I’m starting to realize something I never really thought about before: writing in public is a lot more emotional than I expected. Yesterday I wrote about discovering writer coins and how wild that idea feels to someone as new as me. That still stands — I’m genuinely curious about how this whole Web3-writing world works. But today, I’m noticing something different: I’m not just learning about tools or tokens… I’m learning about myself as a beg...

This week I saw a headline that honestly made my stomach drop: “$3.7B in crypto longs liquidated.” As someone who’s still new in this space, that number felt unreal. Billions. Gone. Just like that. And the way the media framed it, it sounded like the entire crypto market was collapsing in real time. At first, I froze. If the professionals are getting wiped out… what chance do I have as a beginner who’s still trying to understand half the terminology? But after sitting with it for a bit, readi...

I’m still super new to writing — like, barely know what I’m doing new — so when I came across this idea of a writer coin, it honestly blew my mind a bit. I always thought writing online was basically two choices:chase clicks, orthrow up a paywall and hope someone cares. Neither felt right for someone like me who’s just starting.But in AVC’s post, they explained this new thing Paragraph is doing: readers can actually benefit if the writer grows. Not through ads or subs — but through a token ti...

I’ve been diving into crypto news a lot lately, and one topic keeps popping up everywhere: the Polymarket POLY airdrop. Even as a beginner, I can feel the excitement around it. And after reading multiple articles, here’s what I understood (and what I’m still confused about).1. Yes — the POLY token is real, and so is the airdropSeveral sources confirmed that Polymarket will launch a POLY token and an airdrop after its U.S. app relaunch. This isn’t just rumor anymore — it’s stated by Polymarket...
