junior pm: i have to run my first global alignment meeting and i'm freaking out
senior pm: what's your plan?
junior pm: schedule the call, walk everyone through the proposal, get buy-in
senior pm: how many people?
junior pm: like 8 stakeholders across 4 time zones
senior pm: and you're meeting them for the first time... in the alignment meeting?
junior pm: well yeah. that's the point of the meeting
senior pm: there's your problem
junior pm: what do you mean?
senior pm: alignment meetings don't create alignment
junior pm: then what's the point?
senior pm: they confirm alignment you already have
junior pm: i don't follow
senior pm: have you talked to any of these 8 people yet?
junior pm: i sent them the pre-read
senior pm: that's not talking
junior pm: so i should... call them first?
senior pm: every single one. 1:1. before the big meeting
junior pm: that's 8 separate calls just to prep for 1 meeting
senior pm: now you're getting it
junior pm: seems like a lot
senior pm: it's the whole job
junior pm: what would i even say in these calls?
senior pm: you're not saying. you're listening
junior pm: listening to what?
senior pm: their fears. their motivations. their hidden objections
junior pm: why wouldn't they just say that in the meeting?
senior pm: politics. pride. audience
junior pm: so they'll tell me privately what they won't say publicly?
senior pm: if you ask right
junior pm: how do i ask right?
senior pm: frame it as soliciting their expertise
junior pm: "i'm new to this and want your input"?
senior pm: exactly. people love feeling like the wise advisor
junior pm: and then i just... shut up?
senior pm: shut up and write everything down
junior pm: what am i looking for?
senior pm: conflicting goals between stakeholders. who wants what and why
junior pm: ok say i do all this. what changes?
senior pm: two things
junior pm: go on
senior pm: first, you adjust your proposal based on what you learned
junior pm: makes sense
senior pm: second, you sprinkle their exact phrases into your presentation
junior pm: why?
senior pm: people support what they helped create
junior pm: even if they didn't technically create it
senior pm: especially then
junior pm: what about the difficult ones? the ones who'll disagree no matter what?
senior pm: you pre-negotiate
junior pm: how?
senior pm: in your 1:1, you say "i know you have concerns about X. i can't fully address them. can you disagree and commit in the meeting?"
junior pm: you can just ask that?
senior pm: you'd be surprised how often the answer is yes
junior pm: because you asked privately
senior pm: because you respected them enough to ask
junior pm: so the alignment meeting itself is basically...
senior pm: a ceremony
junior pm: confirming decisions already made
senior pm: in hallways. in 1:1s. in coffee chats
junior pm: the meeting before the meeting
senior pm: now you're ready to run alignment
Does not contribute anything whatsoever to keeping things discreet lol
Why can’t they just make something without any logo?
Enough people are getting robbed already ffs
Wen Lambo? Now.
We've partnered with @Lamborghini to create a custom Ledger Stax, connecting the pinnacle of automotive design with the highest standard of security and our most premium signer.

Nobody ever said it was going to be easy.
Long term people play long term games.
Set your sights on the horizons past the storm.

If you really want to make money in crypto, you have to believe in something.
Belief means holding your ground even when that asset performs poorly or gets flooded with FUD. Altcoins have been weak for a long time and the entire Web3 market isn’t even close to the size of Nvidia alone. Giants like BlackRock have endless time and capital; most people only have one of those. That’s why you need to commit to an idea, an ecosystem, or a technology with optimism. It doesn’t have to be Monad, but this is how money is made in crypto.
For me, FUD is my food
I’ll keep believing in @monad
In the end, I’ll be the one who wins
Even though $SOL is a complete and utter shitcoin, at some point it will be a buy if the mainstream financial press is dunking on it. Like on the <TOP> news section.
Nothing ever goes up or down in a straight line.

Any idiot can be a cynic.
Just say “it’ll never work” about any ambitious endeavour.
You’ll be right most of the time.
But what a sad life.

Monad nft teams are taking the problem backwards
and it's showing in the flops
normal approach:
understand the market ➜ build something people want ➜ price accordingly ➜ earn your value
monad approach:
grind roles for months ➤ "we worked hard so we deserve X" ➤ set price based on effort ➤ expect market to validate
the discourse exposed this perfectly:
"we've been building for 6 months, that's worth half a million"
"look at all the work we put in, we deserve this valuation"
"our value comes from the merch and the grind"
bro, the market doesn't care about your internal justifications
you don't see successful projects saying:
"we worked 2 years on this so we deserve $X"
you see them saying:
"here's what collectors want, here's our edge, here's why we're priced here"
the role meta created this backwards logic:
instead of proving value to the market
they're justifying value internally
it's mirror thinking:
effort invested = value deserved
when it should be:
value delivered = value captured
this mindset is rare in successful launches
but common in monad
and the flops are proving why
The NFT founders are just greedy mfkrs.
After getting tons of MON airdrop, you set NFT supply in thousands and set ridiculous MP.
Now look at you struggling to mint out in public phase and resorting to airdrop promise to holders.

The great purge must occur for the hated rally to progress
Airdrop wallet 0x676a, which received 5.61M $MON ($184K), panic-dumped 5.5M $MON for 131K $USDC at $0.0239 after $MON fell below its public sale price of $0.025.
