Personal Update: I've joined @LayerZero_Core to work on growth for ATLAS.
A year ago, I was watching The Wire when Frank Sobotka said:
"We used to make shit in this country, build shit. Now all we do is put our hand in the next guy's pocket."
After 4+ years at CEXes, a lot of what we'd built felt short-term and vaguely ponzi-ish. It worked for user acquisition, but the attention disappeared almost immediately. The whole industry seemed to have the attention span of a goldfish. I was running out of reasons to care.
So I took a year off to figure out what I could see myself giving a shit about for the next ten.
Through all of that, more assets kept moving onchain. Institutions kept getting involved. And some people kept building after everyone else got bored and left.
That's what drew me to ATLAS. The team's been around for years and still wants to build things that last. ATLAS handles matching, clearing, settlement, and risk on Zero, giving builders and institutions a solid foundation they can keep building on. They own the experience, the users, and the distribution. ATLAS only grows if they do. And I want to spend the next few years working alongside those best builders.
If you're building better money technology and want to do it with ATLAS, my DM is open!
McDonald's lovers are welcome too (Hong Kong McDonald's is the best in the world and I'm considerably less open-minded about this part)
Slow cook.
Honestly, there aren’t many people on CT who understand x402 better than I do.
If you understand it, you’ll hold through the noise.

关于2026年全年该怎么玩，我的一点判断
1.预测市场牛市。polymarket、opinion等进一步蚕食传统博彩的份额，给圈内带来增量资金。预测市场题材将在2026q2世界杯前后达到高潮，在高潮褪去前离场。
在这个基础上，积累polymarket的交易量、opinion的积分，同时深耕两市场间的微观机会。最近积累了很多认知，但分享出来就失效，只能闷声发财。
2. 2026年是BTC的熊市，预计在2026年10月见底。等大交易所暴雷/大defi协议暴雷/大机构爆仓，砸出一个黄金坑后，确认底部，闭着眼睛梭哈。
策略：把在预测市场赚的钱，用于2026年q3开始抄底BTC。

I got liquidated 3 times until I started making money in trading.
Everyone says find a strategy, build “discipline”, then you’ll make money.
This is the most bullshit and misleading advice of retail trading.
Because discipline can NEVER be “practiced” into existence like a habit. You CAN'T train it like a sport where repetition makes you better.
That fake discipline works fine until real pressure hits, then you completely fall apart.
No strategy will ever work on you if your mind is the weakest part of your setup.
Because here’s the ugly truth👇
> If life hasn’t broken you (multiple times) before, you simply don’t have the psychological resilience to REPLICATE the discipline in traders you admire.
> Their strategy works because it’s PAIRED with a level of INNER RESILIENCE most haven’t earned yet.
> The calm you see in profitable traders wasn't “practiced.”
> It was forged from surviving enough PAIN that their old instincts had NO CHOICE but to DIE.
> Their discipline came from DESTRUCTION, not DETERMINATION.
> With luck and fake discipline you can make money, but you sure as hell can’t keep it for long.
So HOW to get "REAL" discipline?👇
> You cannot “gradually” grow discipline over time.
> It happens very suddenly and violently, usually at your lowest point when your old self finally gets ripped apart.
It’s like arguing with someone. Some people stay ice cold and say exactly what destroys the other person. Others break down crying.
The difference isn’t “self control.”
It’s that the calm one has already survived far worse, so this moment means nothing to them. Chaos doesn’t touch them because they’ve seen bigger storms, not because they “practiced patience.”
So if you're in your lowest point right now, don't waste it👇
> People don’t get many chances in life to experience metamorphosis.
> If you waste all that emotional energy attacking the world or pushing away the people who love you, you’re burning fuel that should be used on yourself.
> Put that energy into your own damn evolution.
> Put it into the quiet moments where you sit down and actually face your shame and fear.
> Start by writing down the 30 things you are most afraid of or most ashamed of.
> It sounds small, but it’s huge, because the version of you who is “doing well” would never have the guts to face that list.
A lot of people think the secret to trading is more strategies, more macro research, more knowledge.
They’re wrong.
It's stepping completely outside of trading to recognize and accept your broken parts. Your demons.
And STOP studying people's success!
Study how they survived their lowest point instead👇
> People love calling someone smart or disciplined, then they copy their routines like it'll magically work.
> It won't. You can't copy success because half of it is luck, timing, and advantages you don't have.
But you can learn from how they fell apart and got back up:
> How they handled losing everything
> How they kept going when most would quit
> How they turned pain into power instead of self-hatred
Those parts are real. Those parts can be copied.
Those parts are earned through fire, not gifted by genetics or privilege.
Success is personal. But the path of dying, rebuilding and coming back stronger is universal.
And it’s the only damn part worth copying.
