________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 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...

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 Let’s be real, there are days where this space feels brutal. The market’s red, timelines are dead, and you start wondering if the whole thing’s just noise. I’ve had moments where I’ve questioned it all. Bear markets will do that to you. They test your conviction, your patience, and your reason for being here in the first place. But even when it sucks, especially when it sucks I still believe in crypto. And not because I think I’ll catch the next 100x. I believe in what it s...

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 Let’s set the record straight. crypto isn’t some golden shortcut to overnight riches. Sure, it can be. We’ve all seen the tweets. “Turned $1,000 into $250K in three weeks.” But for every moonshot story, there are hundreds of people left holding the bag, wondering what just happened. I’ve seen both sides. I’ve lived both sides. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned since falling into this space back in 2018, it’s this... Crypto rewards skill. Not just speed. The Myth of Easy...

Hey y’all! It’s JC If you’ve been in crypto longer than five minutes, you’ve probably felt it, that itch to jump into the “next big thing” before you even know what it is. I’ve chased hype cycles, bought tops, aped into trends with zero understanding, and got burned more times than I can count. But over the years, something shifted. I stopped playing musical chairs and started focusing. Today's chat is about that shift, how I went from FOMO-fueled chaos to being intentional, curious, and mayb...

Hey y’all! It’s JC If you told me in 2017 that I’d be trying to build a career in crypto—messaging founders, freelancing across time zones, and hunting down business roles like a man on a mission—I probably would’ve laughed. Back then, I was just swapping coins, curious about what this space could be. Now? It’s personal. It’s purposeful. And honestly? It’s hard—but I wouldn’t trade the journey for anything. A Job That Doesn’t Exist (Until You Make It) Let’s get one thing straight: trying to l...
