I'm launching a crypto newsletter.

Here's why I think creating content in the crypto space is a huge opportunity for young internet builders 🧵
I'd been flirting with this idea for the past ~3 months.

I was so curious about crypto that it was almost painful to resist it.

Then, last month my wife and I went on a 16-hour road trip from Louisiana (where we're based) to Leadville, Colorado.
It was during this trip that I finally gave myself permission to follow my curiosity and went down the crypto rabbit hole.

On our way to Leadville, I spent most of my waking hours reading anything I could get my hands on—articles, newsletters, Twitter threads.
By the time we arrived at Leadville, I'd already been crypto-pilled.

What's interesting is that there were A LOT of things I couldn't (and still don't) understand.

But the main, high-level takeaway was crystal clear:
Crypto is transforming the world at a fundamental level.

In the same way personal computers, the internet and smartphones did.
My 2nd takeaway was that the crypto media landscape has a big problem.

98% of the crypto content out there is either too noisy or too complicated.

This results in a lot of hypey and clickbaity news, on one hand.

And a ton of long, boring articles, on the other.
But this problem is also the opportunity of a life-time.

By trying to solve it, you can build a monumental audience. Heck, you can even build a media empire.

(Of course, that's the most bullish and optimistic scenario.)
But the worst case scenario is great, too!

Even if you don't build the next Morning Brew or become the next Pomp, you will:

• Learn new skills
• Build a network of talented friends
• Better understand the whole space
This would give you an unfair advantage to recognize other new opportunities anyway.

That's why I'm getting involved.

That's why I'm launching Kryptoletter.

And that’s why I encourage you to get involved too.
If you want to get involved in crypto or are already working on something, I'd love to hear from you!

Shoot me a DM. Let's chat.

And if you're curious and want to get smarter about crypto (without all the work and the jargon), this is for you:

The best communicators rule the world.

But 99% of people struggle to share their ideas in a clear & compelling way.

So here are 16 frameworks anyone can use to become a great writer, public speaker & storyteller 🧵
Write with a specific, one-person audience in mind.

It's counterintuitive - but if you try to write for everyone, you'll end up writing for anyone.

When you try to write for everyone, your writing becomes shallow.

You sacrifice the nuance & subtle dynamics - losing what Hemingway called the Iceberg principle.

Reddit is a goldmine for writers.

If you know how to use it right, you can find thousands of:

• Content ideas
• Potential niches
• Engaging readers

But you need a process.

Here's @gregisenberg's framework for leveraging Reddit as a digital writer 🧵
Reddit is a community of communities with 52M+ daily active users.

People go there to find like-minded thinkers and talk about the things they truly care about.

And since it's a pseudonym platform,

These folks share real questions, struggles & goals in their fave subreddits.
This makes each subreddit a potential goldmine for 1000s of niches you can build an audience around.

And, of course, for pre-validated content ideas.

The trick is spotting the most promising ones.

So here’s @gregisenberg's 6-step process:

The worst way to learn how to build a business: paying $50K+ for an MBA.

The 2nd worst way: starting your *own* thing.

THREAD: The safest, fastest way to learn how to build a business 🧵
For the record: I don't have an MBA.

I'm a college dropout.

But I do have some close friends who paid absurd amounts of $ to get their fancy MBAs.

Wanna know what they learned?

How to run *other people's* businesses.
A little story...

I've been trying to build my own thing for a while.

I've tried a lot of things:

• Writing ebooks
• Learning to code
• Selling orchids on eBay
• Being a fitness influencer
• Buying & reselling crypto

And last year I learned about the Creator Economy.

Every online writer's dilemma:

Writing for vs Writing for
your audience yourself

Here are 7 mental models to help you find the balance, grow & enjoy the process 🧵
1/ Only write about things you're completely obsessed about.

Online writing is an endurance sport.

And forcing yourself to write interesting shit is not sustainable.

So the only way to keep at it over a long period is to write about things you're genuinely interested in.
2/ Write selfishly. Then, make it all about the reader.

The best writing is the product of a paradoxical mix:

Self-indulgent curiosity & empathetic packaging.

Go down your favorite rabbit holes to find ideas.

Then, give people reasons to care about them.

A year ago, I was:

• Gaining weight
• Struggling to make $$
• Struggling to create every day

Then, I did 75 Hard & everything changed.

Here's the story 🧵
75 Hard is a mental toughness challenge.

For 75 days straight, you must:

• Follow a diet
• Take a progress pic
• Drink a gallon of water
• Read 10 pages of a book
• Not have alcohol or cheat meals
• Do 2 45-min workouts (1 outdoors)

It’s hard AF.

But that’s the point.
After completing the program, I was in great shape.

But that wasn’t the biggest benefit.

The most significant change happened in my mind.

This program had completely changed my mindset & the way I was living.

This new life philosophy boiled down to 5 core principles:
