0/ How to get started in Crypto - the Playbook. I have a lot of new followers, and a ton of web3 curious who have DMed me we. So I wanted to share some lessons learned from my 18-month journey going all in. These are notes I took for myself. 🐇 🕳

A multi-thread thread 🧵👇

 1/ Observe → Learn → Commit → Engage: Crypto moves insanely fast. Zoom out and observe macro-level trends before you dive in. Develop a thesis for the space and true conviction over the technology. If you understand "the why", then "the how" will become more clear over time.
2/ Study the market and get your mind and body healthy. Web3 consumes you; It's not just a rabbit hole 🐇 🕳, It's more like a black hole that sucks you in and never lets you escape. Develop balance first. Clarity of thought and specialized knowledge is paramount.
3/ Study the Macro environment and develop conviction: If you are reading this, you have probably heard @RaoulGMI, @balajis, and @JoshuaRosenthal, but if not go listen to their epic podcasts and theses around the market.
4/ Maintain healthy habits: Web3 favors clear thinking, so take care of you mind and body. Get sleep. Read. I have a copy of @Navalmanack on my desk, and it is my absolute go-to for inspiration.
5/ Learn about the technology: Understand the technology and adopt a belief in its underlying capabilities and its implications on our society. You won't last if you don't believe in the mission and the technology.
6/ Study DAOs and governance, Defi protocols and how they work, the blue-chip NFT projects, social tokens and the power of community, and play-to-earn dynamics and metaverse opportunities. Web3 favors utility players.
7/ right now crypto operates in silos with little crossover. NFTs, Defi, social tokens, and play to earn are all revolutionary. These technologies are fusing, and every community will need to be fluent in all four.
8/ Develop a set of personal rules and boundaries: Make sure you have rules in place to govern your decision-making processes and time. Here are a few of mine. Make your own and refine them as you go:
8.1 / Reduce Fomo Instincts: You will feel a tremendous sense of fomo being in this space. Everyone does. Don't let it overcome you. Bad decisions happen when you are chasing. Learn and observe. Pick your line of attack. We all only have a finite number of plays we can make.
8.2/ Get involved: find your DAO. Community building pays dividends in this space. Connect with people. Work on projects together. Find interesting opportunities together. Add value. Here are my favorite DAOs

https://t.co/Y05S09gFW0
8.3/ Building > Holding > Trading: Focus on building. Build your network, build your knowledge, build your reputation. When you productive yourself, you are applying leverage to an already leveraged industry. Community knowledge and networked opportunities are a super power.
8.4/ Set your Aping parameters: Only Ape if you have conviction and the stakes are low: I set a threshold for when I can and cannot ape into projects. If something I want to buy is over 1 ETH, I research the project in-depth, and I commit to holding for 10+ years.
8.5/ Buy for a 10+ year horizon: We are still singing the national anthem. If you have a macro thesis and buy and build projects with a long-term perspective, you won't freak when there is a 50%+ market dip, which will happen.
8.6/ Emotionally prepare for a volatile and sometimes violent market: The 50% dips hurt. The bear markets hurt even more. All the OGs have been through it, and they just kept building. See #8.3 above ☝️
8.7/ Use minimal leverage when buying positions: Or buy @indexcoop FLI products. You will get liquidated if your leverage is over 2x for too long. You want a healthy cushion for the dips, and they happen fast and suddenly.
8.8/ Don't create unintended tax consequences: Talk to @DHannum8 at @ZenLedgerIO or use @TokenTax before you start messing around. You will better understand all the tax implications of all actions and be able to monitor your tax liabilities in real-time.
8.9/ Be Nice and reduce your ego: Web3 is a multiplayer game, and money is better made with friends. Share insights and believe in the power of non-zero-sum. When we eliminate ego, great things happen. Remember, if you are in this early, we are all gmi
8.10/ Don't be shy: People in crypto want new entrants. It is how everything grows. We want new talent, and there is no stupid question or observation. You will feel behind the curve for several months, and that is OK. There is a lot to learn and observe.
8.11/ If it seems scammy, it is scammy: Only follow trusted people on Twitter. Only chat with people you don't know on Discord public channels. Don't download anything from anyone you do not know.
8.12 / Get your security shit together: Use a hardware wallet for your vault. Use two-factor authentication on every exchange. @HughKarp has some good security recs.
8.13/ Wallets: I have found it helpful to have three wallets. A vault (hardware), a reputation wallet (hardware), and a hot wallet to make quick and easy purchases and to attribute recently bought ETH to the purchase to avoid tax consequences on my long-held ETH.
8.14/ Buy coins that you can natively stake: Unless you want to go full degen, native staking is the way to go. The coins that I own that I natively stake are: @ethereum @solana @TokenReactor @OlympusDAO @AudiusProject @AxieInfinity. My blended yields are high > 100%
8.15/ Get used to having a pit in your stomach for bypassing great opportunities that you feel you should have seen. You are going to hit a high batting average if you just hold ETH. You should be focused on finding opportunities that will beat ETH over a 10 year horizon. FEW.
8.16/ APE: For exactly that reason, don't forget to 🦍 if the stakes are low and you have huge asymetric upside. I got into #BAYC on the last night of minting because I saw a reputable source on my twitter feed mention it. I thought - why not! I'll mint one.
8.17/ Play around with projects that have yet to launch their token: $UNI, $RARE, $ENS -like airdrops are going to continue to happen. Hang around the hoop, play in the sandbox, and you will see something down the road.

https://t.co/aj49yCMSO5
8.18/ Try to find projects early: It is a true detective's game. If you feel like you can find early Alpha signal or want to hunt together, DM me! If you are building something interesting and it’s early, DM me!
** If you like this thread so far, add me to your network with a follow. I write mainly for myself - reminders, philosophies, random thoughts, and threads like this. I am fortunate enough to have created strong learning circles and an amazing network of blue 🔥 thinkers**
9/ Once you establish your rules for engagement and feel that you understand the technology, start to get involved. Dive in. Here are some tips from my learnings and some suggestions on ways that you can begin to productize yourself and apply leverage to your new crypto life:
9.1/ Get involved in DAOs: Getting involved in DAOs allows you to learn how DAOs work and operate. There is opportunity for improvement everywhere, and there are sparks of innovation happening all the time in this space. Be in the flow of this stream of information 🐠
9.2/ Curate your Twitter network carefully: Your reputation is your most important asset in crypto. The second most important is your social network. Here are some lists that hopefully can help you with your own curation.

https://t.co/msjW6m1PNR
9.3/ Here are some absolute must follows DAOists:

@TrustlessState
@divine_economy

@awrigh01 and @pridesai

9.5/ Either way, follow only people who are long term thinkers and believers in the space. There are a ton of traders and short-term thinkers out there. There are also a ton of shit posters. Constantly refine who you follow, create sub-lists, and filter out the noise.
9.6/ DM people you find interesting and engage with them directly. Set up zoom calls to meet. Some of my best connections have happened on Twitter and Discord.
9.7/ Learn to use Discord and pick your channels carefully. Set your notifications: I missed out on the #BAYC kennel drop because I didn't have my notification activated 🙈. These things happen, but they can also be largely avoided with the right tooling and setup. 🛠
9.8/ Make NFTs part of your strategy: NFTs are a huge source of social status. We are visual creatures, and people see a punk or Bored Ape, they notice. It's a bat signal that you belong. If you can't afford NFTs outright, buy them fractionally and start a @prtyDAO bid.
9.9/ Remember that there is way more to NFTs than PFPs. The generative art movement is incredible, and you should fully understand it and the novelty of their use cases. Projects like @artblocks_io @QuantumNFT @EthBlockArt and DAOs like @FingerprintsDAO are great places to start
9.10/ Appreciate the art and the artists: Connect with them directly. Tell them why you love their work. The artists are now at the forefront of this movement. Artists and artist guilds will be a central component of all crypto communities eventually.
9.11/ Subscribe to the best newsletters in the space and create a reading / studying / listening day where you block out all distractions, print out all your reading materials, and study the rhythms of the market. Here are some great newsletters and podcasts:

10/ Remember you are here and you are early. There are 7.5B more people to onboard into weeb3. We are not even at 3% penetration yet. The second hitter in the top of the first inning is at the plate. WAGMI 🚀
11/ Lastly, enjoy the show and have a blast! We are all building and contributing in some way to the ecosystem. Hit me up if you are building something interesting, want to help within one of the communities I support, or just want to say hi!

MAHARAJA CHHATRASAL BUNDELA was the great Bundela King who revolted against the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.
Chhatrasal Bundela was born in year 1649 CE in Maur Hill of Bundela region to Champat Rai and Lal Kunwar. He was the descendent of Rudra Pratap of Orchha.


His ancesters were the vassals of Mughal Emperor. He drew inspiration from his father and revolted against the alien rule of Mughals. He was just 12 yrs old when his parents died in fight against the Mughal Army of Aurangzeb in 1661.

When his beloved father attained martyrdom in the year 166, the young Chatrasal was present in the last battle of his father against the Mughal and from these valiant campaigns,..

..he gathered the courage to free Bundelkhand from Aurangzeb’s rule.
He joined the Mughals initially, and was recommended by the Rajput King Mirza Jai Singh to be recruited in the Mughal Army in order to support their Deccan Campaigns.


But serving the alien rule of Mughals which brought chaos and misery to Bundelkhand was unacceptable for Chatrasal Bundela and his father’s incessant struggle against the Mughals kept the fire of independent Bundelkhand alive in his heart.

RANI NAIKI DEVI AND THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA

Mohammad Ghori, the young Ghurid Prince conquered Ghaznavids in Afghanistan in the year 1173 CE. He conducted some successful raids into the Indian territory, which even Mahmud Ghazni & the Persians couldn't do.


First&foremost,Ghori invaded states of Multan &Uch in India.After this he turned to southern states of Gujarat &Rajputana.Everybody knows this about Ghori,but what most pple r unaware of is the defeat he suffered at hands of Chalukyan Queen Naiki Devi in 1178 Battle of Kasahrada.


When he marched southwards, his first target was the prosperous fortified town of Anhilwara Patan.
It was the capital of Chalukyas(also known as Solankis of Gujarat) which was established by Vanraj of Chapotkata Dynasty in 8th century.


American historian Tertius Chandler states that it was the 10th largest city in the world at that time. The history of Chalukyas has been written by many historians, but the valour of the Great Queen Naiki Devi remains unsung.


Born to the Kadamba King Paramardin of Goa,Naiki Devi was well trained in sword fighting, horse riding, strategy & every other subject of Statesmanship. She was married to King Ajaypala of Gujarat who sat on throne in 1171CE. Unfortunately,the King died within 4 yrs of his rule.

Shy people are either overthinking or highly observant of the social setting.

And in many cases it can be both.

'So what do I do?'

You learn the 75/25 law.

'What is that?'

The law of charisma...👇

Let's address the over thinkers first.

Do you have any idea why you overthink?

'Yea. Because others are judging how shy I am.'

Incorrect.

Others are thinking about themselves, not you.

But the fact that you think they are thinking about you, you fuck up the interaction.

Now you stay in your head too much & avoid the present moment.

A major no no in the social world.

Your tendency to think that others are judging you for being shy, coincidentally makes you more shy.

And that's when you start giving off a strange vibration to the social setting.

This is when you begin attracting comments like 'why are you so quiet?'

Pyramiding 2.0

A thread-


What is pyramiding?

It is simply adding to your winners.

Why use pyramiding?

1. It makes your winners bigger than your losers.

• Because you are adding positions when your trades are going your way, you are increasing your gains but your losers will be small comparatively.

2. You lose less during Draw-down time ( it saves you from losing big during whipsaws )

• Many times when the market is in sideways mode, Entering a trade with full risk might not be the best idea.

• So, you test the waters with a small position first, it could be ⅓ or ¼ of your total risk.

• So if the Breakout fails or whipsaws come, then you will only lose a small part of your overall risk.

• Then when position starts to go in your favor you can add to it.

3. It helps you to concentrate on a few trades,

They say that don’t put all your eggs in one basket, but don’t put them in too many either.

• See, Everyone can see charts and find breakouts, pullbacks etc.

🌿𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓 : 𝑫𝒉𝒓𝒖𝒗𝒂 & 𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒏𝒖

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"

Read through a forum thread on Chastity Mansion to see who is talking about the Edge-o-Matic and figure out what more to address regarding frequent questions, as well as scout out user feedback. Here's some thoughts you can carry back to the forums!

My website doesn't have any product reviews, but people scatter them everywhere else in forums, tweets, xtube vids, etc.

If you ARE a previous customer, and you like the thing, can you drop a review on my site to help others?

The price is steep, but that's the amount of coins I calculated to make these. I have several spreadsheets calculating every expense involved with this project.

The current cost sustains production and development of new tech, and is helping create jobs. We are 2 people now!!

It IS 3D printed, because injection molding is orders of magnitude more expensive for the initial tooling, and I am still making small revisions to the enclosures.

Injection molded plastics are a six thousand dollar commitment for fifteen cent parts. Great for mass mfg.

Also, if you didn't know, 3D printing technology allows for some shapes which would be difficult, expensive, or impossible on injection molding or milled parts!!

Undercuts, which I use in this design, require special lifters to mold that cost a tremendous fortune.

1. I was walking in the woods yesterday and I had an epiphany. It wasn’t one I wanted to have. I was thinking about today’s class, where we are reading Kimmerer’s ‘Gathering Moss’. I’ve taught Braiding Sweetgrass in multiple classes every year since 2016. It’s eminently teachable

2. Both books are beautifully written. Students uniformly enjoy them as assigned reading. They do a great job communicating to non-Indigenous folks the contours of basic Indigenous relationships to more-than-human beings. They’re wildly popular with white readers.

3. I’ve found Braiding Sweetgrass to be a great entry point for non-Indigenous folks to Indigenous scholarship. But this is where yesterday’s epiphany comes in. Neither Braiding Sweetgrass or Gathering Moss tends to the deep deep lineages of Indigenous scholarship in Canada or US

4. As the popularity of ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ has soared, I’ve seen more and more white folks wax on about ‘braiding knowledge’. But they often don’t know any of the lineages of these concepts beyond what is presented in this one book. They confidently run with this.

5. Kimmerer does a commendable job of weaving in her own experiences, her family stories+nods to some very important knowledge keepers who deserve to be celebrated for their work. But Braiding Sweetgrass does not tend to the citational politics Sara Ahmed & others teach us about
