Can crypto projects survive without VC money?

Many crypto projects depend heavily on investor funding, only to disappear when the money runs out

@Rock_it_Will believes NEAR's focus on real revenue and long-term growth could set it apart

AI might never be able to copy what makes you special

As AI gets better at creating perfect content, unpredictable personalities and human imperfections could become the biggest advantage creators have

Traders are the new celebrities

Kimchi is becoming a real example of this, with Pumpfun pushing him further into mainstream attention

As retail trading grows, we’re starting to see traders build audiences far beyond crypto
Kimchi is the first person to truly cross the chasm between crypto and pop culture; the first ever example of a trader becoming a celebrity.

He represents exactly where we’re heading: a massive social trading ecosystem that onboards retail and grows to 10x the size we were last cycle.

The next wave of users does not come from CT - it comes from the masses - and we're proud to have Kimchi help us set the creative direction that will pave us on the path to a 100x larger ecosystem.
Community note
Kimchi is presented as a verified trader celebrity crossing into pop culture, but his signature claims of ~$40M profits trading $TRUMP (and resulting wealth) remain unverified with no disclosed wallet or on-chain proof.

Maurits says 50K followers on X could be worth more than 350K on Instagram because of the wealth and influence concentrated in crypto Twitter.

— He grew up creating videos, which is why video content feels more natural to him than writing on X.

— YouTube is where he focuses on studio content, even if he only posts once or twice a month.

Maurits calls out the pay gap between working in crypto and outside crypto

“There’s so much opportunity in crypto, if you are if you are a normal clipper you can make $1k a month but if you clipping crypto content like this podcast you will
Probably be making $5k-$10k a month”

You should stop trading

Let me explain. After my recent post, many people mentioned they want to start trading but only have a small port

As @mauritsneo perfectly pointed out in this clip, trading isn't the only way to make money in this space. In fact, it's one of the riskier - Clipping
- Editing
- BDing and many more

If you have a small portfolio, your first goal should be to grow it by providing services and getting paid for your work, essentially, a job

Once you've built a large enough portfolio that you can afford to take risks and absorb losses, then you can look into trading
+$98,465 on perps
-$23,327 on memes

$75,138 running total from my public trades so far this month

Aiming for a $100K month, but not trying to be greedy and taking it slow

This is a pretty funny moment from the past

Back when @flipski77 was focused on Fortnite only, we had some back and forth on my alt about how dogshi Fortnite had become 😭

Just some random lore 🤣
