My journey through Bitcoin, Web3 strategy and recruiting 👇 2012-2016: Hoarded gold & silver, believing hard assets were the safest bet. 2016: Bought my first Bitcoin - everything changed. 2018: Exited crypto, thinking I had seen it all. 2020: Re-entered - blown away by how much the space had evolved. Vowed never to leave again. 2021: Completed Blockchain Strategy Programme @OxfordSBS 2022: Attended IMS, landed my first Music & Web3 project. 2024: Founded Third Native, a recruitment firm dedicated to Web3 & Crypto talent. The mission? 1) Connect the right talent to the right projects & help push Web3 forward. 2) Help artists increase fan engagement and build IP using Web3 technology. Still early. Always learning. Let’s build. 🚀 #Bitcoin #Web3 #CryptoRecruitment #ThirdNative

What a time to be alive!! It is crazy how there is a huge push from the UK media to shape a narrative to justify the UK joining America and Isreal in the War with Iran! What a mess!

@D0itdifferent 👏

February was solid.

@WazzCrypto @legiondotcc @D0itdifferent @matty_ congrats @WazzCrypto, solid team!

I’m joining @legiondotcc to help shape the future of ICOs This story goes back almost 2 years, when @D0itdifferent and @matty_ first approached me to show me a concept they were working on. They resonated with my takes on tokenomics and the state of the industry, and wanted my input early on. That concept was called “Legion”. I was impressed back then, and I’m even more impressed now with what they’ve actually shipped. This was way before the recent wave of regulatory clarity and before the current “ICO season” narrative really took shape. Even then, they had the right vision… if we want to onboard more users to crypto, new tokens can’t stay a game where insiders and VCs win and everyone else is the exit liquidity. We need to establish an equilibrium where users believe what they are investing in, not cynically dumping on a greater fool, and projects get quality investors at an earlier stage, who become evangelists for the product, and allow them to grow together. Why early access feels rigged I’ve been pretty outspoken about how broken launches have become, projects raise massive rounds, launch at peak valuation + peak hype, and the “community” gets scraps, or worse, gets sold the top at TGE while insiders exit for multiples. The tokenholder trap (post-TGE) And even after TGE, the dangers aren’t gone. Because of the dual-capital structure a lot of these protocols operate under, even if success and an acquisition happens, tokenholders can get left in the dust, as we’ve seen recently with Axelar and Padre. Why Legion Legion is taking a real swing at fixing this. We have the platform, the partnerships (Kraken Launch), the compliance-readiness + infra, and most importantly a reputation based system to change that, where projects can connect with better aligned investors through their Legion score. The goal is to let early-stage projects raise from everyday value investors and build alongside their community, at realistic valuations, with fairer terms and better disclosures turning them into believers rather than extractors. I think that’s one of the most exciting places to be in crypto, and that’s why I decided to join @legiondotcc as a CT Lead, where I’ll use my voice to help shape the future of ICOs, towards better launches, clearer tokenomics, and more genuinely fair opportunities for everyday participants–not just VCs. If you're building and want to launch the right way, or partner with us, DMs are open. 2026 will be the year of the ICO Renaissance

Looking for a good web3 native recruiter, any recommendations ?

@itachee_x Ha, I am searching for one at the moment! I totally understand what you mean!

Crypto-native Product Marketing roles have been so hard for us to hire for. Most people only know how to market a dream/narrative in crypto. We really want to be different and instead market our actual solutions. Any good recommendations?

@james_zaki Congrats James. Would love to join

increasingly hearing pitches where founders explicitly say they do not plan to launch a token and that they want to build for different user bases interesting
