what are the best livestreams in crypto?

@yigitaga15 thanks for playing

@unlonely_app Bro rug

new episode of The baddie in me with @0xgrace is now live on Youtube. so so excited for this one! Grace is an ex Youtube turned co-founder of @unlonely_app - she recently announced that she wants to do something different, and explore a new professional path. she's also known as the girly who received multiple applications for her +1 to a wedding in Greece and for being a real baddie! we talked about so many things: - building an online persona as a sassy “internet girlie” - the struggle of juggling platforms like Lens, Farcaster & Twitter - her views on authenticity, networking, and building engaged communities - overcoming imposter syndrome and learning to trust herself - finding balance while staying online and being visible i found our convo extremely inspiring and these sentences stuck to my mind: "am I supposed to know what I’m doing? There’s no rule book" "think less, just do, don’t overthink, don’t spin out" Subscribe to my youtube and collect the episode on @podsdotmedia xoxo

tldr; my cofounder left. where does unlonely go from here? let's start w a brief history, i’ll keep it short: - 3 years ago i became a fan of the live-streaming space - built and started streaming daily on unlonely for 6 months - raised, hired, kept building - tried a lot of things: NFT clips(flop), creator tokens(directionally correct but flopped), 30-min tokens / versus tokens (directionally correct but maybe early). shows like love on leverage, the haunted church were cool ways to generate mindshare and test out features but didn’t scale and were extremely difficult to produce. we slowly let go of members of the team as we returned to ideation mode. around this time last year, i felt a major shift in our North Star towards “its all gambling, nothing else matters”. this led to moving to solana, launching BOO, etc. to quote @shayonsengupta, crypto’s only killer use cases are “creating & trading assets”. nothing else. we built cabal in feb, a mobile group trading app. turn a groupchat into a hedge fund. fun to build and somewhat interesting(not really though imo) — the problem is by the time i finished building it in 3-4 weeks, i had lost too much trading and never wanted to touch a memecoin ever again. we also made @fat_chiggas for fun too. i lost the plot. i don’t really care much for gambling. for a while, i convinced myself that my feelings didn’t matter -- what mattered was what the market was telling me. grace felt differently, some unhealthy dynamics were created that jeopardized our relationship as siblings, so she left. oof. tough blow. what now? well, lets look at the good news: - summer in NYC - 4+ years of runway to build literally whatever i want - thanks to this thing called AI, i don’t need to hire anyone anytime soon and can learn anything about anything - my energy level remains high as fuck, and i see overwhelming amounts of opportunity all around me - minds racing with ideas, though maybe a bit outside of the scope of crypto So there you have it. I’m still here. feels like i’m starting over again, what an incredible spot to be in.

has been incredible building and growing with you these last 2 years. thanks for keeping me in check and keeping me honest. im still here. if you're interested in working on AI generated content + a token, dm me. looking for cofounders i can bounce ideas off of.

some personal news: after almost 2 years i’m stepping away from unlonely and @bdguan will continue on as its ever fearless leader i’ve learned so much about building a consumer platform from scratch, riding the ups and downs of this industry, working with a sibling and i’m so proud of what we made. over the last 2 years we ran 50+ product, content & GTM experiments just between us two and our founding engineer - ranging from prediction markets on streams, interactive tokens, IRL live show productions, etc. we built a place for people to express themselves, connect with others, and monetize, where we started bootstrapping our own content (never forget love on leverage) to test product features at some scale. i love hearing how unlonely has been a part of people’s stories and relationships - the butterfly effect is real <3 i don’t know what’s next for me yet, but i’m excited! taking some time to zoom out of the founder-survival-mode tunnel vision and think about what gets me going. i’ve always had a deep interest in religion & philosophy, the arts, health & wellness, human centered urban design and figuring out what makes people happy and fulfilled. always happy to chat if you have overlapping interests or ideas, pls comment or DM and make it clear you’re not just throwing your hat in the ring for the greece wedding +1 meme lol i’d love to continue supporting other builders as well, particularly female & diverse bc i know how daunting it felt for me to start unlonely despite all the advantages i already had - overcoming the imposter syndrome has been a huge part of the journey that i’ve learned to embrace. gm and ilu all!!!

@Jain_Banda @0xgrace great shout

funny story - @benroy__ and I originally met on a crypto dating show last winter (shout out @unlonely_app @bdguan @0xgrace) none of us hit it off with the girl but we kept in touch, bounce ideas off one another, and now im on one of my favorite podcasts with him and his incredible cohost @eclecticcapital crypto works in mysterious ways
