turned 27 recently realized i’ve been posting here for a while without ever properly saying who i am i’m from Ukraine, 4+ years deep into crypto and still spending way too much time on NFTs, memecoins, airdrops and whatever new product catches my attention sometimes i make money, sometimes i become exit liquidity either way i’ll probably post about it here crypto, random thoughts, travel, life outside the screen and whatever else feels worth sharing nice to meet you 🤝

Today was a pretty rough night and day, but I still managed to find some time for the gym. Honestly, after that I came back to work with a completely different head. Clearer, calmer and way more focused. NFT market surprisingly started showing some life today too, so I’ll probably spend some time digging through a few new projects and trying to secure some WLs. Did you find anything interesting today that’s worth watching?

Most apps know almost nothing about you the moment you open them for the first time. You can spend years building a reputation on X, playing games, using AI tools and being active onchain, then move to another platform and basically start from zero again. I spent some time going through @conso_xyz and this is the part of their idea that caught my attention. CONSO is building a Consumer Reputation Layer that turns your activity across different platforms into a portable Consumer Passport. Posts, gaming, AI activity, creations and onchain signals can become part of one reputation instead of staying trapped inside separate apps. There’s also an Agentic Memory angle that I find interesting. As AI agents become more common, having portable context means every new agent doesn’t necessarily have to meet you from zero again. They already have an AI extension where your activity can generate ZAPs, achievements and reputation signals, and now another piece of the ecosystem is going live: CONSO BOTS. 5,555 supply, free mint, GTD + FCFS. But what makes them more interesting than a regular NFT is that they’re designed as reputation-backed mobile nodes for the CONSO Network on Sui, with Walrus being used on the infrastructure side. According to the current Bot campaign, holding them also boosts mining in the CONSO Miner App. I like when an NFT actually has a reason to exist inside the product instead of getting utility invented after the mint Still digging into the ecosystem myself, but the bigger idea here is worth watching: your online reputation should belong to you, not disappear inside every platform you use. Curious to see how far @conso_xyz can take this.

Late post and also GN. Did I do wrong that I decided to cheat today?) I hope you also had a good and useful Saturday, we have one more day left before the inclusion in the lock in working week.

Flying cars are cool, of course, but today is the end of the work week, the gym, the work. Have a productive day and GM. Don’t forget to touch the grass 🌿

A lot of people come into crypto chasing x1000. And a lot of them eventually become exit liquidity for the person who convinced them to buy. I don’t think this is the best way to approach the market. You waste time, nerves and money looking for one miracle trade, and when something goes wrong the influencer gets blamed, the project gets blamed, the market gets blamed. But at the end of the day, you clicked the buy button yourself. Crypto has always worked like this. You either take liquidity from someone else or someone takes yours. So what if instead of constantly chasing x1000, you looked for opportunities with a completely different risk/reward? I’ll use my own experience here. I’m still learning, still making mistakes and trying not to repeat them. Here are 3 areas where I still see opportunities in crypto: 1. NFTs Build your X feed around the information you actually need. Find early projects, research them, turn notifications on and follow people who have already built a reputation through their actions. A recent example for me was the NFT call from @zacxbt. Sorry for tagging you again. I had notifications on, saw the post early, researched what he was talking about and decided the risk was worth taking. My result: $50 → ~$250. Nothing life-changing, but a good example of what being early and actually paying attention can do. There are also plenty of free mints where your main cost is time. Get the WL, research the project and then decide whether you even want to mint. Something new appears almost every day. You just have to look. 2. Testnets Everyone is tired of testnets by now. Sometimes they reward users, sometimes they don’t. That’s part of the game. One of my best examples was B3. At the basic level, some users basically got rewarded just for showing up and interacting with the product, while putting more effort into it could lead to a very different result. Since then I’ve done both paid and completely free testnets that eventually rewarded users. For me, the main thing is not blindly farming everything. Research, choose the projects that make sense and scale the ones you actually believe are worth your time. Over the last couple of months I’ve noticed a lot more interesting projects appearing on CryptoRank again. 3. Ambassador programs / content This is the area where I’m trying to get my first proper experience now. People around me who focused on ambassador programs in previous cycles probably had some of the best risk/reward because they were doing something they actually enjoyed while building their own name at the same time. Grow your X. Learn how to write. Share useful things. Build relationships. And yes, if you need a little gamification, watch your Sorsa score grow. Maybe today it’s just a number, but later it could help when applying for ambassador programs, partnerships or integrations. My next post will probably be a list of ambassador programs that are open right now. Maybe one of them will fit you, and maybe you’ll fit what they’re looking for. Anyway, just some late-night thoughts from someone who still believes you don’t need one x1000 to make crypto worth your time. Smaller wins compound too. DYOR, think with your own head and don’t risk money you can’t afford to lose. And as always, don’t forget to touch grass friends 🌱 Tomorrow is Friday, so we still have one more day to finish this lock-in week properly 🤝

GM ☀️ Be a little kinder to the world today and it might be a little kinder to you too. Wake up with a good mood, set your mind right and act like today is going to work out. Sometimes that’s all you need to start moving in the right direction. Have a good one friends 🌱

GM ☀️ Good mood, plans set, heading to the gym. Today we’re turning on luck mode and acting like everything is going our way Gym first, work after. Touch grass guys 🌱

Quick update on the projects I’m currently farming First, @Neura_io announced that the snapshot has been taken. Kinda crazy to think I’ve been working on this one for almost a year. Spamming test transactions, running around the map with that little character and collecting gems was actually fun. Now I’m really curious to see what all of that turns into. Hope you guys have a strong market launch. Waiting for the next update. Next, @meleemarkets. Today is the deadline for the current badge, and getting into the top 2500 is honestly very easy even if you start now. So if you already started farming it, finish the job. I’m currently sitting around top 150 on my main. Once you reach Diamond ranks, things get a bit harder because wins give fewer points and losses punish you more. Just to be clear, this is still a testnet. Then @ama_protocol. Season 1 of the free farming campaign runs until October 31, so if you still haven’t started, welcome According to the team, the drop is confirmed, so I’m still doing my dailies, building the badges and trying to squeeze as much as possible out of the remaining time. And finally, @AmmoraHQ. Season 2 is now live. We already have a rally check-in added, while the rest is mostly the same. Nothing complicated here. Just keep farming, keep climbing the leaderboard and watch for new updates. Reminder that all of these are testnets. DYOR, use your own head and don’t farm something just because someone on X told you to. I’m only sharing what I’m doing myself. Don’t forget to touch grass and have a good Tuesday 🤝

My replies are finally visible again Spent the past week wondering if anyone could even see me. Didn’t expect it to stress me out this much, but it feels really good to finally talk to you all normally again. Also, a special thanks to @valhist for the 1M $VG. I honestly didn’t expect that at all. I played his game, shared my real experience with it and wrote a few posts because I genuinely enjoyed what he was building. Seeing him decide to reward people who were actually active around the project was a really nice surprise. To me, that’s another good sign that the dev isn’t planning to disappear after shipping something. He keeps building, improving the game and giving back to the people who actually support it. Feels good to be back. Let’s have a productive week 🤝

Almost a month back in the gym and i think forcing myself to start again was one of the best decisions i made lately. I spend most of my workday sitting in front of a PC, and before this i could easily spend the whole day staring at the same screen. Now i probably spend less time there, but somehow get more done. My head feels clearer, i focus better and work that used to take hours gets finished much faster. I’ve always liked autumn too. For some reason this part of the year always brings a lot of new projects in crypto, so the timing feels perfect to lock in again. But there’s a difference between locking in and burning yourself out. Work hard, go outside, train, rest when you need it and don’t turn every day into a race. Biggest thing i learned lately: do more of what you actually enjoy. If your work feels boring every single day, find a way to make it interesting again. otherwise what’s the point? Productive week, clear head, and still touching grass 🤝

Happy taco day everyone 🌮 time for an update on a few projects i mentioned before. @meleemarkets Until Oct 13 you need to reach top 2500 to claim another badge. on my main i’m pushing for top 100 now and i’m getting pretty close. Farming points here is honestly one of the easiest things on my list. The site is fast, everything reacts instantly and there’s not much friction. Only downside is the 50 bets per day limit without that i’d probably try to speedrun top 100 in one day, although obviously the competition would be much higher too. What still surprises me is how few people are actually farming this. Almost no noise, almost no shilling. Do with that information what you want. @ama_protocol I haven’t been pushing Amadeus that hard over the last few days apart from the dailies, so it’s probably time to start doing volume again and climb the badges. You can’t get every badge anymore, but Maestro still looks completely realistic from where we are now. I’m currently Virtuoso and sitting around #3,572. That ranking alone tells you how small the active user base still is. Even the team itself is actively using and testing the product. If i’m reading the timeline correctly, there’s less than a month left. My bet is still that we see something from them in Q4. Definitely one i don’t want to sleep on. Now some fresh alpha Another project that just appeared on my radar is @HelloNavra. Right now there’s basically nothing to farm yet, but you can join the waitlist with your email. They’ve raised $19M with names like Ribbit and Jump involved. No need to overthink this one yet. just get on the waitlist, add it to the radar and watch what they ship next. Q4 keeps getting more interesting. Still farming airdrops, still looking for early stuff, still believing one good drop can wake half of CT up again What are you farming right now that almost nobody is talking about?

Sad to see Abstract shutting down, and it’s definitely not the only L2 deciding to take a little nap lately Doesn’t really change the plan though. We keep working. more and more interesting projects with solid funding keep showing up on my radar, and i keep catching myself thinking that Q4 could actually be a pretty good one for airdrops. Yes, i still believe in them. Kinda sad that so many people got disappointed and stopped farming genuinely good projects. I have a feeling all it takes is one solid drop and suddenly everyone will remember how much they love testnets again Anyway, it’s not Thursday, but apparently taco day started early for me this week 🌮 Enjoy the chill after a long day friends. Tomorrow we lock in again
