Reflecting on this past year, there were two moments that really hit me hard.

First, watching the whole Trump/Melania circus genuinely forced me into a perspective I’d been avoiding. This place is… kind of a joke. Then 10/10 came along and reinforced that feeling, a reminder that so much of what we obsess over is just vapor.

We’ve been riding a massive bull market, and crypto could’ve easily become a distraction disguised as momentum. I don’t fully believe that, but it does make one thing clear: I need to hyper-focus.

Bitcoin, capital markets, stables, that’s the real ground. If it doesn’t have metrics, it’s vapor. Full stop.

No more gambling. The opportunity cost is way too high. Hope you all are well. Crappy feeling but chin up. Onwards.
