italkbet@italkbet·
Let me start my own story. My name Frank I come from a background in web2 marketing and later web3, but I have battled with inconsistency for years. Still, I kept trying to build something of my own. Back in 2016, I attempted to build my first app, a P2P crypto market place and an exchange like polenix. I hired a team from India, paid them 50 bitcoin when bitcoin was just 400 dollars, and they disappeared. Without even giving me any reason. But I kept dreaming. In 2018 and 2019, I tried again. This time it was a web3 crowd sourced lending pool where people could lock their assets and borrowers could use another asset as collateral. I spent weeks working with the developer and the UI team. By the end of it, all my savings where drained lol. Because I lost my blockchain . Com wallet which has the project fund about $10k then in BTC cuz I was rubbed and they made away with my laptop and phone before I could get a new device and recover the email to get the seed phrase my wallet is already empty. So I Had to use my savings to cover for the Dev work but then all my savings was drained, I was paying the the Ui guy $150 per hour. The ux guy was $100 per hour. My purpose felt like it left with the money. During COVID in 2021, I forced myself to return to web2 and got a 9-5 as an SDR. I also started stacking UST because it was the stablecoin everyone trusted. USDC was getting probed, USDT was getting probed by sec, BSC projects were shaky. But UST was the golden child. Or so we thought. In May 2022, it collapsed. It depegged overnight. I lost 20k in UST and close to 30k in other assets including Luna. Everything I had worked for as an SDR and through small freelance jobs evaporated in a minute. The breakdown that followed was real. The depression that came after was even worse, I still recall locking myself indoor for 1 week cuz any time I am outside, I always feel like maybe a car would hit me, i still recall how my mind skips any time that an object drops on the flow. Then, Until Late 2023, I finally pulled myself up again after a friend forced me to be his groomsmen which i finally accepted which lead to me regaining my courage. Few weeks later I got a job as a community manager. I saved a portion of my salary and decided to take one more shot at building. This time it was a micro task platform to help founders hire workers globally. I hired a developer from Pakistan. After months of calls, promises and revisions, the same story repeated itself. They asked me to pay almost the entire amount while the project is not yet completed... You might be wondering why I did so, well they always come with a story like them falling sick and need some money to cover the med bill. Gradually I ended up paying 90%. Then they demanded another 50% increase to enable them to continue sustaining while building the project. When I refused, they vanished for months with excuses about emergencies. Four months of waiting. Four months of being strung along. And then silence. Then something shifted in me. Fast forward to August 2025. I made a decision. No more depending on Dev promises. No more leaving my dreams in someone else’s hands. I decided to learn how to code and how to build with AI. Even if I start slow, even if I make mistakes, at least this time the journey is mine. I want to connect with people who build. I want to collaborate with people who think big. I know that is am not perfect so I want to build in public and document the process.. so others can learn from me . Maybe I would fail maybe my story would have a happy ending which everway it goes, Plz wish me well !!!!!! No one grows alone. And that is why I am here. I will need your suggestions, your advice and your guidance as I take this new path one step at a time.

I just learn something, instead of trying to build a full flagged app. Just build one feature first and launch. Then other things can follow. With that you launch fast

@csaba_kissi No one cares about how you did it, they only care about the results not just in coding but in everything... Just show results.

Your customers do not care how you coded it. They care if you solved their problem or not.😉

@brian_armstrong Crypto haven't actually represented fiat features completely, crypto is not yet private which means it's hard to keep your wealth on-chain as you can be the target. Until you make crypto ledgers encrypted, you do not have the correct version of fiat

@elonmusk Slavery wasn’t ended. It was upgraded. Chains became debt, and control became economic.
