“No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown allies will come and seek you.” - Carl Jung So keep writing, engaging, creating. You’ll find you your people or maybe they’ll find you.

@beehiiv who in big bees have you been lobbying?

Just trying to get my nut

I don’t even ask what the product does anymore I ask: “Who’s actually using it?” Silence is a common answer

The real Web3 tech stack: • Notion doc • Telegram chat • Vibes

Hosting dinners has taught me one thing: Everyone is either: 1.Raising 2.Pivoting 3.“Just about to launch”

“Let’s definitely stay in touch” — two founders who will never speak again

Booked a “quick 15 min call” We’re now 47 minutes in and I’m emotionally invested in their tokenomics

Best part about hosting private founder dinners: You hear the real roadmap. Not the one in the pitch deck. The one that starts with: “Yeah so we’re probably pivoting…”

“Community-led growth” Translation: We made a Discord and are hoping for the best

Londonmaxxing starter pack: • Raise a pre-seed • Move to Shoreditch • Say “distribution” 14 times a day • Go to 3 dinners • Still haven’t shipped

Everyone wants to “build community” But no one wants to: • Curate properly • Say no • Charge money Community isn’t built on vibes. It’s built on standards.

Money is becoming programmable again. AI agents are starting to act. Payments are catching up. Meanwhile, founders are rethinking distribution, trust is compounding, and UK Web3 is quietly maturing. This week’s Menu → signal, not noise. web3dinnercub.beehiiv.com/p/menu-3-the-w…

Unbothered aha

@kirawontmiss Honestly most of them arnt even conspiracies anymore just stuff the government has tried to obfuscate for a few years

Conspiracy theorists after every single of their theories is proven right this year

@oliverbrocato Made me chuckle, great post

If u feel lonely, just start an ecom biz. Then at least you’ll have a little company.

I always went back and forth with that, For or against going straight in with a calendly link. I was usually pretty specific about why I was asking for a call, what I aimed to talk about and usually a disclaimer saying I wasn’t trying to sell them anything. It was also mainly through LinkedIn, where I posted pretty much daily about crypto. I got up to like 12,000 followers before I stopped writing on there. Which I think somewhat helped with the trust element, I’d usually have a lot of mutual connections with the people I was asking. I’m still not convinced which is better, opening message then ask or just go straight for it, I theorised that most people were pretty busy so going straight for the ask was what I settled on.

@HarryGbc damn, nice that worked. I wouldnt suggest asking for a call right off the bat though generally. At least my personal POV is thats a bit of a risk vector. And Im cautious hoping on a call with anyone who cold dms me (absent other trust vectors)

The most underrated, high leverage thing you can do every single day to improve almost any aspect of your life. Send a cold DM. 10x cold dms a day (done well) will change your life.
