From fighting scammers to running communities🏴
I’ve spent the last few years in Web3 doing much more than “moderating chats.”
Most of my work has been around community, security, operations, and making sure things actually run.
Here’s the short version of how that evolved.

You can keep only one. Choose wisely.
It’s time to find out which Stickerverse collections the community loves most!
We’re launching KEEP ONE, a community voting event where four collections go head-to-head in two matchups.
🥊 MATCHUP #1
Genesis VeVenaut vs. Ascension: VeVenaut
🥊 MATCHUP #2
Matt Gondek’s Cease & Desist vs. Matt Gondek’s Cease & Desist B&W
🗳️ HOW TO PARTICIPATE
1. Vote for your favorite collection in both polls in the main Telegram group.
2. Take a screenshot showing your votes.
3. Submit your screenshots in the Stickerverse Lab topic .
🎁 3 NFT STICKERS UP FOR GRABS!
Everyone who submits valid screenshots will be entered into a random draw. 3 winners will each receive an NFT sticker!
Your vote helps determine the community’s favorite, and you get a chance to win a little something along the way.
Make your choice. Back your favorite. Let’s see which collections come out on top 👽

Your XP might be more important than you think ✈️
Every action you take in Stickerverse contributes to your XP balance. But have you ever wondered why we’re keeping track of it?
XP isn’t just a number on your profile. There may be more to it than meets the eye, and this is a good time to start paying attention to how much you’ve accumulated.
Keep exploring Stickerverse, collecting stickers, completing sets, and participating in community activities. Every bit of progress counts.
Don’t wait until it matters to start collecting 👽
If you’re starting in Web3 without money, connections, or a big audience, don’t assume you’re at a disadvantage forever.
Learn to communicate. Be useful before you ask for anything. Keep your word. Build genuine relationships.
At 22, you think success is about becoming someone.
Eventually, you realize it’s about having the discipline to stop being who your environment taught you to be.

- came within a day of owing $600K
- visited 15 countries and lived in 6 of them
- went through 5+ pivots
- worked with 7 different cofounders
- been in just one romantic relationship

the real test of a web3 project isn’t how loud it gets on launch day.
it’s whether anyone is still there the day after.
attention is rented.
community is built.
