Coming back from a month of low activity in Web3 is tougher than I expected. Last month started strong, then exams came in and I had to step away from trading, content, NFT collabs, basically everything. And honestly, rebuilding that momentum isn’t easy. As a friend and brother once told me: take baby steps. Don’t expect yourself to do everything you used to when you were at peak momentum. Start small. Cut the distractions. Show up consistently. Despite the slowdown, I still managed to secure a $10K funded account, get paid from monthly jobs, and win 2 bounties. Life is good nevertheless.

Just locked eyes on @projectspherexy. GENESIS EPOCH just pinged. Interact and they hand out a free mint. Early as it gets. Could fizzle, could actually ship something wild.. Just grabbed one free mint allocation from the team for my timeline. - Follow @projectspherexy , - quote this post, - drop your SOL wallet. Selecting winners shortly.

Tried the Bitcoin Collateral Vaults demo myself on @ZestProtocol . - Connected Xverse, - deposited native BTC on L1, - opened a vault, - borrowed USDC on Ethereum. No wrapping.  No handing keys to a custodian.  The flow was cleaner than I expected for a first mainnet demo. BTC stays on Bitcoin.  Liquidity shows up on Ethereum. That is the part that actually clicked. This feels like Bitcoin starting to work as capital, not just a thing you hold. Check it out here - btc-collateral-vaults.zestpr… Did a short video guide to try out the platform:

I’ve been hearing about the @MEXC Virtual Card for a while, so I finally decided to see what it was actually like for myself. I took it out for a test when I went out with a few friends, and honestly, I was impressed by how simple it was. I used the card to make a payment, and the whole experience felt smooth and straightforward. No complicated process, no unnecessary stress, just tap, pay, and keep moving. I like that it gives me another convenient way to use my funds when I’m out, instead of everything having to stay inside an app. First real-life test with the MEXC Virtual Card: simple, smooth and easy to use. Would you try using a crypto virtual card for your everyday payments?

how do you stay safe when your entire net worth is just sitting on a block explorer for anyone to see? @waleswoosh told us about a friend who built a six figure portfolio from almost nothing. then a scam wiped out most of it. everyone in crypto has a plan to get rich. far fewer have a plan to stay under the radar.

Apply to this, apply to that; If no one will tell you, I will. NFTs are gradually fading. Glad we ate good from that meta. Now, the smart thing is to go back to creating, reaching out to brands, focusing on that niche, trading and what not.. And try building around it.. Just broke up with my 32 gfs, Can’t wait to get rid of my final distraction (my exams). It’s high time we double down on things that actually matter…

The most mind blowing opportunities comes as too good to be true; But Vertical isn’t just too good, it’s true.. It’s not news that most prop firms ask you to trust the payout. @VerticalPropX lets you verify it onchain. This is the first onchain crypto prop firm on OKX. Every transaction and payout is provable. Up to $300K in funding with a 95% split, among the highest in the industry. $1.3B volume already cleared in closed beta. Now, everything is all set and ready, real transparent payouts, will you be joining us? Sign up for early access :verticalprop.com

JUST IN: $CASH is launching as a ZRC20 token on Zcash Mainnet. 🪙 1,000 $CASH = 0.005 $ZEC The launch features: 🛡️ Anti-bot protection 💰 100% of mint proceeds refunded once the mint ends, minus gas fees ⚡ FCFS public fairlaunch Only the first 18,900 transactions will count. $CASH is launching soon 👀

Shorting the top gainers is the best strategy I've used @TrueCurrentX had $FIL up 19% and $XTZ up 14% sitting at the top of their gainers list. I shorted both right there $FIL down 22% since $XTZ down 16% since Same setup worked on $UNI, $HNT and $ETHFI last week

I practically just signed up for the @MovitOn_P2P beta - app.moviton.com/ I like how direct the whole process is; Sign up with just your Gmail and phone number No long form, no wallet lecture first. The idea is simple: parcels ride with travelers already going that way. Escrow, AI checks, and live tracking sit behind it instead of a warehouse. User flow is clean. Sender vs traveler is obvious, deposits and smart contract escrow are explained before you commit, tracking is front and center. Favorite part is that the product is pretty transparent, as it just turns empty seats into delivery rails. Easy enough that a first time user can get through signup and understand the value in a few minutes. If you care about P2P logistics; this is definitely for you..

Nothing but grateful for how this month is going, Canopy airdrop came in; Won a GA auction; Points - $$$ Made my friends money; Saw profits from NFT secondary plays Just closed 2 deals; Working on 2 more.. Exams going well.. Wish me luck.. September just might be great..

What’s the weekend without a little GA? I have collaborated with @Arcins__ To give out 8 GTD spots for their upcoming collection. To enter:

Doomerism. What does it even mean? And why does almost every major technology eventually create its own version of it? ➪ Fair warning: This is probably the longest piece I’ve written on here in a while. But there’s a TL;DR at the end if you want a cheat. Anyways; I’ve seen this word get thrown around so much in AI now that basically anyone worried about where this might go can get called a doomer. I don’t think that’s particularly useful. Because thinking AI could create a serious problem doesn’t mean you expect that problem to happen. There’s a massive difference between saying something is possible, assigning some probability to it, and becoming convinced it is inevitable. A lot of the AI conversation these days keep collapsing those things into one. And tbh, I can see why. Because the Ai race is ridiculously fast. ➥ Capabilities change. ➥ Timelines change. ➥ Researchers start to disagree. ➥ The labs building the systems disagree. And we’re all lowkey just trying to think about the consequences while the technology itself changes underneath us. That kind of uncertainty gives doom a lot of room to grow. Some of it is reasonable. Some of it is people filling unknowns with their worst possible outcome. Some of it is probably just wrong. Still, I don’t think doom itself is useless. I actually think an industry this powerful needs people constantly asking how things could go horribly wrong. There’s an old example I think about when I see people talk about Ai doom: In the 1970s, scientists working on recombinant DNA became concerned that some experiments could create biological risks they didn’t properly understand. Researchers paused some experiments, met at Asilomar in 1975, then developed safety and containment rules before continuing the research. Some of the feared risks later turned out to have been exaggerated. But the precautions still helped shape safer research practices. And I think that distinction matters here. A warning can overestimate the eventual danger of a thing and yet still produce something useful. ➪ ➪ Now bring all of that to AI. Back in 2023, over 2k researchers who had published at major AI venues were surveyed about where advanced AI could eventually lead. Most were optimistic overall. 68% thought good outcomes from superhuman AI were more likely than bad ones. Yet depending on how the question was phrased, around 38% to 51% still assigned at least a 10% probability to outcomes as bad as human extinction. Even among the optimists, almost half still gave at least a 5% chance to extremely bad outcomes. Which I think is such a weird result. Because it does not mean science has calculated a 10% chance that AI kills humanity. There is no dataset that can give us that number. These are subjective forecasts made under ridiculous amounts of uncertainty. But I also wouldn’t throw them away. The fact that catastrophic AI risk has gone from a fringe thought experiment to something a meaningful share of people working in AI assign non-zero probability to is worth paying attention to. It doesn’t prove the doomers right. It just makes the question harder to dismiss. And jobs are probably the cleanest example of why I think both sides need to chill on the certainty.
