gm frens 2022 is fast approaching. after marking my 3rd year in crypto/web3 full time, i'm gonna drop a 🧵of things i wish i knew when i started, since i saw a lot of new faces this year.
stop short term trading - buy your bags and stick with them. fees.wtf says I've spent over 8 eth on gas in just 1 wallet this year
hang out in DAOs you care about - there is NO better way to meet like-minded people than DAOs. Build with them if you can.
stop saying, start building - quit shilling and develop what you want to see. Use the ecosystem, play around, build what you would use
and the biggest one: USE THE CHAIN! - i've spent 8 eth on gas trying things out and have recieved ~15 eth worth of airdrops from doing so. Using zkSync now would qualify you for a future airdrop, for example.

all these zk terms... what do they mean? what's the big deal with zk proofs?
a quick 🧵breaking it down: 👇
zero knowledge (zk) cryptography is very new and an active field of research, but we're very close to having it ready for primetime with @zksync and @StarkWareLtd. let's discuss what this means for the future of ETH and blockchains in general
previously, blockchains have required all pieces of a transaction to be bundled together (verification, validation, and execution) which bottlenecks the whole process and makes it hard to scale while remaining decentralized
