Plans are great, but the process of planning is greater.Plenty of new year resolutions floating around these days. Lots of goals, reflections, learnings, successes and failures to talk about. 2022 hasn’t been easy on any of us. We need to figure out how to make 2023 better. Most goals set in the new year don’t make it past 14 days. So instead of making big audacious goals, try baby steps. Instead of trying to lose 15kg in a year, aim to do a brisk 15 min walk daily. Instead of aiming for 100k...

SBF on the cover of Forbes, as one of the youngest self-made billionaires in the world.Allow me to summarise SBF’s amazing journey this year: SBF was the golden boy of crypto and the savant of trading. Fortune called him the next Warren Buffett. Crypto Twitter adored his tweets. SBF went on stage and sat beside Bill Clinton and Tony Blair wearing a crumpled tee and shorts like a dork in high-school. He also went on stage and sat beside the gorgeous Gisele Bundchen to talk about “Effective Alt...

Volodymyr Zelensky is Time Magazine’s 2022 Person of the Year.It’s another year, another new chapter, another revolution Earth has taken around the sun. We all have grown older. Some wiser, some regrets, some pain. But definitely more experienced. In 2022, so much has happened. Crypto has burnt to the grown, but the Blockchain and innovation will survive. NFTs have scammed so much out of so many, but it will evolve and survive in the form of higher utility and purpose.Adam Neumann, previously...

SBF is now “free” and back in time for Christmas with his family in California after posting $250M bail, a record amount in the history of bail bonds.Close your eyes and take a deeeeeeeep breath. Now try to think of the most **hated** person of 2022. Was it Liz Truss? Elon Musk? Donald Trump? Amber Heard? Martin Shkreli? How about Sam Bankman-Fried? I would say that he rank pretty high up there. For all the drama and chaos Sam has caused, he might just the most hated man in 2022. Think about ...

SBF was well-known for his effective altruism, incredible wealth and atypical traits as a supposed billionaire. Was it all an intentional, elaborate lie?After reading so much about Sam Bankman-Fried, you have to wonder: Is he really a savant or a potato? Is he a genius trader who went rogue or drug-fuelled delinquent that made honest mistakes? Or did he just got lucky and couldn’t handle the fame and power? Was it all an elaborate act? The hairdo, the voice, the penthouse, the drugs, the medi...

The 45-year-old, whose real name is Brian Johnson, previously denied any accusations of steroid use, having said on Mark Bell’s Power Project Podcast: “I don’t touch the stuff. I’ve never done the stuff. I’m not going to do the stuff.”Liver King’s inadvertent expose and implosion might be part of his strategy all along. Let’s dive in.

Zed Run raised $20M in Series A and brought horse-racing to web3.When people ask me what is the future of web3 gaming, I think the answer isn’t so clear. Web3 gaming has morphed into a whole different animal. It no longer is about the game, narrative, storyline, animation, graphics, characters, but rather the tokenomics, points, coins and economics of the game. Play-to-earn (p2e) games in crypto are hot. It kinda took the world by storm. Stepn is one such example, you basically record your da...

Elon Musk, one of the richest man and most successful man alive, has more than half a dozen of high-flying companies under his belt. Was it the ideas or execution that got him there?Ideas don’t matter, execution is everything. Man, I used to think that was true for so many years. To be frank, when I first entered the startup scene a decade ago, I truly believed that ideas were everything. A good, well thought-out idea can change the world.

Was SBF smart to go on a frenzy of media tours and live interviews right after the FTX implosion?So FTX collapsed, wiping out $32B. FTT, the token of FTX, is now worthless. Millions of customers lost billions of dollars. Big time investors lost money, pride and face. Sam Bankman-Fried went from $16B to 0 in record time. Somehow he still has the money to pay for some kick-ass lawyers who managed to get him out of the hell-hole jail in the Bahamas and home in time for christmas with his family....

Say bye to 2022 and Hello to 2023!2022 was a whirlwind swirling within a cyclone that was spinning inside a hurricane that sloshed around in a typhoon. Translation: it’s a dizzying mess. I think I speak on behalf of the world, that life in 2022 was tumultuous, somewhat painful and a bit of a blip. We saw hacks, grifts, scams and collapses of every and any kind in crypto land. We saw Celsius, Terra/Luna, 3AC, Voyager, Hodlnaut rise up like a hot air balloon and implode unceremoniously, and now...
