With #Bitcoin at an all-time high, it's important to not get caught up in the adrenaline.

Some thoughts on how to stay grounded in a bull market πŸ”½
Token Price β‰  Success

Look for marginal improvements in the way we coordinate, transfer and create value.

While price is often a byproduct of this, the real value is in network effects, not financial freedom.
Challenge your assumptions.

It's easy to feel like a genius when everything is up triple digits on the year.

Seek conviction in your winners and learn how to separate a short-term flip from a long-term staple.
Build healthy IRL habits.

Establish a routine for something thats not glued to a screen.

Endless time will be wasted refreshing your portfolio. The tokens aren't going anywhere, but you certainly aren't getting any younger.

Meditation, hiking and reading are a couple examples.
Educate, don't speculate.

When someone asks how to invest in crypto, tell them why it matters before you show them how to buy.

Most people won't listen, but you can be a positive influence on the way people think about web3 and the resources they choose to subscribe to.
Value security and regulatory compliance.

Many reading this have made generation wealth in crypto. Be sure that value is accessible, above board and safe to empower you and your family to the fullest.

What good is financial freedom if you're reckless about how it's spent?
Lastly, please take profits.

Most of us are so heavily weighted in crypto and it's important to remember the music will stop one day.

Build a nest egg for the next bear market and prepare for the worst.
We're starting what is likely a multiyear bull run where web3 seeps into every facet of value creation.

To those who made it this far, stay hungry.

To those just getting started, welcome to the ride of your life!

2020 was a game changer for Ethereum.

The vast majority of its success was fueled by #DeFi.

Here's what happened in 5 Tweets πŸ”½
1) Governance Tokens πŸͺ™

Projects gave complete ownership of billion dollar protocols to their users, often using retroactive airdrops.

Early adopters earned tokens for past usage, and token-based voting now dictates all technical upgrades.

2) Liquidity Mining ⛏️

Power users were the first to earn on-going distribution by providing liquidity.

$COMP sparked the wave, with $BAL coining the term a few weeks later.

So you heard the @graphprotocol is providing accessible on-chain data to over 3400+ subgraphs.

"What Google does for search, The Graph does for blockchains."

Let's explore what this means and how $GRT plays a critical role in this ecosystem πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€
Subgraphs are the lifeblood of the network.

Consumers make queries (or data requests) to relay info like price, volume, and liquidity.

They temporarily lived on a hosted service, allowing for free deployment while the decentralized network was being built out.

Enter $GRT πŸ”½
With $GRT, Indexers run nodes to host subgraphs in exchange for issuance and query fees.

Indexers select subgraphs to index based on curation.

To become an indexer, node operators post a minimum self-bond of 100k tokens.

How to freelance in crypto without technical skills.

Five ways to turn web3 contributions into a paid role ⬇️
1) Content

Ever project is always in need of high quality content.

Whether it's an article, video or podcast, find a way to explain how a protocol works and why it matters.

Teams will pay you to produce more of it.

2) Coordination

Show that you can moderate and manage a growing community.

Take notes during calls, prepare agendas and be the most trusted voice.

Information is so ephemeral and great coordinators make sure updates and developments are always heard.

What is #CryptoArt and what gives it value?

Some thoughts on the growing #NFT movement and what you need to know πŸ”½
1) Provenance πŸ”

For the first time in history, we can prove ownership of a digital asset.

This is done through 'tokens' that come with hardcoded metadata and proof of the origin, current owner and primary sale (when applicable).

2) Scarcity πŸ₯‡

Each piece has a fixed number of copies. The fewer the editions, the more valuable each becomes.

The most exclusive NFTs are 1/1's, meaning there is only one original (and owner).

This is why curation on @SuperRare is so important πŸ’Ž

2) Learn to write

Practice writing as much as possible. Don't try and write for an audience, use writing as a tool to take what you learn and explain it in the simplest way possible.

Hone your craft and spread the word about new trends πŸ“
