Being bullish

I woke up today and found out that Azuki, a project that I've been bullish on since I discovered them has airdropped me 4 NFTs worth (currently on the market) 3ETH each.

For believing in this project since the beginning, I got rewarded 40K... just like that. Feels like something that only happens in the NFT space.

But that's not what I want to talk about today. What I wanted to talk about today is the feeling of being bullish about something.

I've talked a lot about gut feeling in my twitter threads and I feel like "being bullish" is the vocalization of that feeling.

There's this feeling of trust, admiration and positivity that surrounds you and for some reason, you really believe in this project.

It's honestly an amazing feeling to have, and it gets even more amazing when you are financially tied.

I remember when I would be the first in my group of friends to discover a certain artist and would be so happy when years later that artist would blow-up.

But imagine if I was able to put in money because I was bullish on that artist? It'd also be financially rewarding to me.

That's what is happening with nfts. I can be early and bet on projects that I'm bullish on and also get rewarded afterwards.

I'm talking a lot about $$$ right now, but I honestly think what makes this even more fun is that it's the combination of status, community and financial that makes it really fun.

So what are you bullish on?

web3 and fud

I have a love and hate relationship with fud. In general, I think it's necessary, especially in a space where 95% of the projects are going to 0. It's good to have some skepticism, but sometimes it's just too much. I've been a cool cat supporter since September. Mainly discovered it through Andrew Wang and a few of my friends talking about it and I also wanted to find the…

when they zig, you zag

As a fellow degen, I've done my fair share of discord grinding. Most times, it almost feels like a job. In the rarer (and best) cases, it feels natural and becomes like a virtual third place. The problem is if you want to be a degen, you have to continue grinding in other discords to get those other WL opportunities. Sadly, when I'm also trying to contribute at Station…

"The clear breakthrough for me Was realizing everyone I was admiring online, spent most of their time creating and engaging offline" - @hipcityreg There's a french expression that goes "goutte d'eau qui fait déborder le vase" which effectively translate to "the last drop to make the vase overflow" and that's what Reggie's tweet did for me. As someone who wanted to remain in…

"Your only power in life is to inspire other people. And the only way to inspire them is to live the most authentic and genuine life to yourself possible." - Naval Got very inspired by this quote from Naval this morning and it made me think of a recent convo I had with ldf saying how I feel almost pressured to do a podcast/Twitter spaces because it's the best way build your…

leather black jeans on

"For my theme song, my leather black jeans on" are the two first bars on Kanye's song "Black Skin Head" from his album "Yeezus". If you don't know the background of the album, Yeezus, it's basically a huge "fuck you" to the entire hip-hop industry and it's Kanye truly accepting who he is as a person and doing whatever the fuck he wants. Basically the entire opposite of how I…
