@WhiteWhaleLabs G 🍻

Earlier today I made a big move in anticipation of this announcement. In a single transaction, I locked 500 million coins...forever. A movement does not belong to the person who lit the match. It belongs to the people who carry the flames. As I’ve mentioned publicly, I’m dealing with an ongoing family crisis involving my children. It has taken a real toll on my mental health. On top of that, the daily pressure of “do more to pump our bags” - when I’ve already done more than any person leading a CTO in this space ever has - is disheartening at best. And beyond all of that, I’m losing some of my passion for crypto in general. For $WhiteWhale holders: yes, there is a continuity plan. While permanently locking $13 million worth of supply should be the greatest parting gift I could give you, I know the @WhiteWhaleMeme page needs to stay active and keep producing fresh, creative, and funny content. My dear friend and loyal companion @vincenzomaiett has agreed to selflessly take on that responsibility. DEX LP operations will also continue under one of the sharpest LP minds I know, with my ongoing oversight behind the scenes. When you look at my record - with millions given to charities on-chain, millions distributed to members of CT, and millions more spent accumulating a more proper supply structure for $WhiteWhale - the reality is that, since 10/10, I have officially given more to crypto than I’ve taken from it. I’m okay with that. I believe in karma. I don’t believe good deeds should be performed with the expectation of reward, but I do believe the universe provides in due course. I came into crypto deeply passionate about what I believed it represented: the original promise. Permissionless finance. Decentralization. True financial freedom. Ironically, the reason for my prior success in this space is the same reason I’m now losing my passion for it. Before 10/10, I had accumulated nearly $100 million in PnL from a trading thesis that began with a very simple assumption: everything is manipulated. From there, my thesis evolved into this: a trader’s job is to identify the signs of manipulation and move in harmony with the Apex Predator class, rather than becoming its prey. Eventually I had to confront the contradiction in that. How can I be passionate about free and open finance while operating under a thesis that says, at its core, it’s all a lie? That kind of cognitive dissonance has a cost. It shows up as stress, guilt, shame, and anxiety when your actions no longer align with your beliefs. Knowing something academically - and even profiting from that knowledge - is one thing. Seeing how the sausage is made with your own eyes is another. Running a coin opened my eyes to a lot. On one hand, if I ever go back to trading, I’ll be better equipped than ever, with sharper instincts and a deeper understanding of the brutal arena that is crypto. On the other hand, it’s hard to feel excited about magic internet money when you know how much of this space actually works. The sad truth is that founders and thought leaders in this space know what I know, and many of them know much more. That is part of why we need to break the culture of idolizing founders. We praise them as honorable people building better tools, but underneath it all, they know just as well as I do that much of what they are building on top of is rotten to the core. And yes, I believe a beautiful cake sitting on a pile of dung eventually takes on the taint of dung. But the reality is that there is not much anyone can do about it. That is one of the consequences of so-called decentralization. Crypto is global. You cannot regulate an entire planet. A VPN and a protocol hiding behind the letters D-E-X mean that nothing will ever fundamentally change because somebody in power decided it should. If real change comes, it will come organically - when the people stop feeding the machine. And while those comments are about crypto more broadly, let me say something directly to the trenches. Pump.fun is a cancer on this space. You know it, I know it, and yet you keep engaging with it. Its entire business model is built on volume and volatility. The trenches are fragile because they were designed to be fragile. I’ve been preaching liquidity design and liquidity shape for months now. But here’s the harder truth: most of you would not show up for a proper liquidity shape. Because the 1,000x fantasy would be mathematically reduced, even though very generous returns could still remain on the table. You have been sold a dream with odds closer to a national lottery ticket than an investment opportunity. You see the occasional winner and cling to the hope that one day it might be you. Meanwhile, the real winner is the machine that keeps you playing. Narrative matters far less than mechanics. If narrative alone were enough, Punch would have broken through the way its mindshare deserved. With all that attention, and with all that narrative weight, it still could not break the nine-figure curse even while being actively crimed. Only a couple of coins have managed that in recent history, and $WhiteWhale was proudly the first. Same with Kilroy - the original meme, an incredible narrative, and still: crickets. Because mechanics matter more than people want to admit. (I am not an active holder of any examples I've given). So this is me stepping away from CT. Not out of hatred. Not out of self-pity. And not without love. My biggest reward from my crypto journey has been meeting some really wonderful avatars from all across the globe. (Ironically the really nasty avatars are the worst part of all of this) I am choosing my children. I am choosing my mental health. I am choosing to step back before this space takes any more from me than I’m willing to give. For long ago in life I learned that you're no good to anyone if you're not okay. And right now, I'm not ok. And it's okay to admit that. To the people who truly believe in me, believe in this movement, and stood beside me through all of it - thank you. I will carry that with me. Always. This was always for you. I trust you'll continue to bear the torch. And as for the future: I’m not closing the door. Maybe one day, when the storm has passed and the fire returns, I’ll have something left to say. Maybe one day I’ll come back. But if that day comes, it will be because it’s authentic and not because I feel the public pressure to "dance puppet, dance". In the mean time...take care of yourself, and each other. Protect what's worth protecting, and abandon the things that aren't. 🫡 From the depths — The White Whale 🐋

Be the example. Lead.

Delusional optimists (in anything) are always rewarded no matter how stacked odds may SEEM against you

The timing of this tweet is actually impeccable

Sometimes I feel so blessed that it disgusts me on why I ever felt suicidal in the past. God has truly blessed me in so many ways. I’m young, I’ve been blessed with good looks, I have a hot gf, a loving family, a clear vision for my future, a “multi-six fig career path” without EVER having to go to a university, a growing business (which can scale to multi-millions in revenue if done properly based off of business model) in literally one of the BEST/Ideal place on Earth where cash flows/thrives. I have vitiligo which I used to hate when I was younger (was bullied for it as a kid) until I realized it didn’t matter cause thankfully God blessed me with the physiognomy and psychological advantage ability to somehow just….attract…almost anything that I pursue. At the same time, it humbles me knowing that everything is temporary. The story of Job is the perfect example. God can take away anything He grants us, so I try to stay grateful and never take any of it for granted. Appreciate life while you have it, love your loved ones, love yourself, and praise and thank God. Amen.

Thank you God.

sometimes life feels like a storm you think will never end... then one random morning, the sky clears, the air feels lighter and you wonder how the darkness ever felt permanent. moments change faster than emotions tell you they will.

Keep going

i am a magnet for everything i desire

@Jeetburner U sound gay tbh

Woke up at 3 AM today because a friend of mine was calling, threatening to kill himself because he was worth $10m+ a few months ago and now zero, asking me to bail him out. Told him to fuck off. The truth is that 99% of guys deserved to lose it all, since none of you are unemployable with real skills and had a temporary shift of your fair market value net worth. You guys were never supposed to be millionaires. You will always return to your fair market value net worth, and trying to deviate from that only punishes everyone around you who got dragged into your mess. Your family and friends who also enjoyed a lifestyle inflation boost due to your memecoin gains got used to it, didn’t they? Yeah, they will resent you for the rest of your life now that the cash has dried up. You will keep chasing your peak net worth in your head, so cleanse yourself from it before it consumes what’s left of you. It's just money at the end of the day, silly numbers that determine whether you can buy something or not. Just fleeting digits people lose their sanity over. The reason why this cycle was so brutal compared to 2021 is because everyone figured out that alts are ALL scams, no exceptions. The easy mode in crypto is gone FOREVER, and you need to face that truth. If you’re not a 200 IQ Chinese quant coding algorithms in your sleep, forget about even trying to be profitable in this market. It is a slaughterhouse now. We went from the majority of people being profitable in 2021, surfing on dumb luck, to barely anyone making any money. This trend will not reverse, so stop dreaming of the good old days coming back, they’re long dead. The crypto industry is over, a graveyard of broken dreams. You will never make money from it again, not like before. Honestly, I’ve never met a more insufferable group of people than you “crypto investors” in my entire life. You’re all very clearly uneducated idiots with below average IQs, yet you feel extremely entitled to make large sums of money, completely detached from reality where people work extremely hard and would be grateful to even earn $10k per month. You’re a walking caricature of greed and delusion, blind to how the real world actually functions. This isn’t a game for dreamers anymore. Time to get a real job, because your silly “crypto KOL” position is not going to give you an income anymore.

@schiz04renic Pray

During a very dark period, what was the best thing you ever did for your mental health?

All your problems are your own fault. Lack of discipline. No confidence. No courage. No responsibility. Bad decisions. Stop complaining and change now.
