I want to thank everyone who gave me feedback after presenting the Garden Project at Farcon Rome. Many people were incredibly supportive, asked how they could become part of it. 💛 🙏 I'd like to start by inviting you all to follow the @garden_org account. And here's a bit more about what’s happening behind the scenes: 1/ I’m deliberately taking my time: observing, researching, designing (literally having the time of my life!) I learned that for a product like the Garden OS, you can’t just manufacture synthetic conditions for success, you have to take your time cultivating it. Real growth emerges only when the underlying systems are healthy. 2/ Garden is not just a poetic metaphor. Nature has spent 3.8 billion years iterating on decentralized system designs for efficient resource distribution and growth. I’m basically trying to learn from the best in business. Additional note: I also like to think that every experience in my life, every person, every success, every failure, and every detour became part of this compost. Perhaps that was the point all along: to build a garden worth leaving behind. Grateful to be building alongside you all.

@rachelwilkinsb @0xaneri you should apply! 💛

@Saldasoro @base 💛

My first reaction when I found out I had been laid off from @base was relief. I was on a call with a founder when I received the news, and almost immediately I felt something open inside me. A new adventure, one that had already been growing quietly within me, was finally going to begin. But soon after, other voices started appearing. Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt. Thoughts telling me I should be angry, sad, disappointed, worried, anxious. That I should feel betrayed. That I should panic. And yet, as those emotions appeared, I could also see them more clearly than before. The negative emotions were there, but they felt weak. This experience reminded me of Gurdjieff’s idea that man cannot really “do.” We like to believe that our individual will can control these giant machines of inertia moving through the world, companies, markets, ecosystems, economies, technologies. But the truth is, most of the time, we are inside forces much larger than us. None of us could have really changed what happened. Not me. Not my teammates. Maybe not even the leaders making the decisions. These systems move through mechanical chains of cause and effect. Markets, funding cycles, pressure, growth, contraction. Giant machines interacting with other giant machines. But there is one thing we can do. We can wake up inside the experience. We can observe what it activates in us. We can accept what is happening without letting it define us. And from that place, we can listen more deeply to our true will. That is what this moment has given me. I feel deeply grateful for my time at @base. Thank you to @jessepollak, @XenBH, @therymac, and many others who enabled me to do some of the best work I’ve ever done, and with whom I had the chance to build something truly meaningful. To the LATAM Pod, @oyealmond, @carlosjmelgar, @gui_bettanin, and @AfonsoBelice, you guys are amazing. I couldn’t have done it without the incredible ambassadors @solsiete_web3, @LeaOlmos, and @sweetman_eth. Thank you to my teammates and to the founders, builders, creators, artists, and communities I had the chance to work with across the ecosystem. Again and again, I realize that what matters most to me is not only the work itself, but the relationships created through the work. The way we connect. The way we help each other move through pressure. The way we transform organizations by bringing more humanity into them. That is the work. Working inside a high-impact, high-demand ecosystem like Base gave me the opportunity to go deeper into myself and to connect with people from a more honest, human place. Now, I’m opening a new chapter. I want to start working more directly at the intersection of crypto, AI, culture, and psychic wellness. I want to explore how technology can help us understand our emotions, integrate our inner conflicts, and manifest our true selves more clearly in the world. One of my first experiments will be launching a character on @charmsai. A living character inspired by alchemy, self-transformation, and the search for inner gold. For people trying to find their own inner gold and shine in alignment with who they really are. I’ll also start creating content on TikTok and writing more openly about my own process, my career in crypto and technology, the emotional side of working in high-pressure environments, and the inner work required to stay connected to yourself inside chaotic systems. As part of this new chapter, I’m opening a few weekly slots for people interested in working with me more directly. This is for people in tech, crypto, AI, or creative industries who feel they need a space to speak, reflect, integrate, and move through emotional or professional transitions with more clarity. I bring more than 10 years of experience in crypto, technology, and highly competitive environments. But also more than 10 years of self-discovery through psychology, meditation, esotericism, psychedelics, and inner work. If this resonates, my DMs are open. Getting laid off from Base happened at the exact moment when I was already feeling the call to become something else. I’m excited for what comes next. As within, so without.

@OW3NBTC I really like this, will share it around 💛

if you don’t support the vision of Ethereum, you’re just in crypto for different reasons than me, and that’s ok. But don’t pretend you’re making some principled stand by ragequitting the bottom. Ethereum is still the only fully decentralized, credibly neutral, censorship resistant blockchain with smart contracts that allow you to build almost anything onchain. Plus it’s tackling quantum resistance and native privacy head on, and has network effects and Lindy cred that can’t be easily recreated. Network effects will accrue value to network tokens, but maybe just not on the schedule you anticipated. As a builder and a sovereign investor, I’m long and strong Ethereum and $ETH, and putting this out into the ether for posterity. Believe in SomETHing.

Should we use fee revenue to hire a community/token manager? They'd be responsible for metrics like; # token holders, # active followers on socials, engagement rate on socials, # of and quality of CEX listings, trade volume, ... These are flexible but meant to give an idea of what I'm looking for from this person. I'm getting lots of pings about things to do here, but I want to keep my focus on product & partnerships. Also lots of people are offer to help on some of those things.. So maybe we just need a way for you all to work together efficiently. Conversations on X are too hard for you all to see the work/overlap with others in the community...
