Maurits says he paid around $90,000 PER HOUR for a private Boeing jet from Monaco to Ibiza, just to prove from flying economy his entire life to suddenly flying on one of the most expensive private jets in the world.
Maurits: “I flew in a private jet before I’d ever flown business class. I’d fly in economy, and then I flew my first ever private jet. It was a BBJ Boeing jet.”
“We flew from Monaco to Ibiza with friends, and those jets are, like, $90,000 an hour in terms of, like, so it’s, like, the top of the top.”
Maurits: “It went so quickly from economy, economy, like I’ve gone my whole life, to then private jet, like top of the top of the top stuff.”
“fomo is the most exciting company in the world”
“If agents are going to transact online, they’ll probably be using blockchain rails. The entire crypto token market related to this industry is around $3 trillion. If that’s not the biggest generational opportunity of our time, I don’t know what is.
But I don’t think the future is just about agents. There’s a human side to this too, and that’s why I think fomo is the most exciting company in the world.”

“My first money online came from competitive Fortnite. I loved the competition and the money element of it. That was also how I first heard about crypto in 2019, when someone told me he could only pay me in crypto.
Later, I found Tate and started growing theme pages for The Real World, posting podcast clips through an affiliate program. At my peak, I was making $5K–$10K a month, with some really good months.
Then the algorithm cracked down on Tate, and all my pages got banned. That made owning my money and assets through crypto much more appealing to me.”

NFTs could come back stronger than ever
“I wouldn’t say they’ve made a comeback by any means, but something’s in the wind. And I think when NFTs come back, they’ll come back stronger than you’ve ever seen them.
The biggest opportunity is in physical collectibles like art and trading cards. NFTs offer advantages that physical collectibles don’t, like no authenticity issues, no spoofing, and no friction when buying or selling.
I think NFTs could become an even better status symbol than physical collectibles.”

“If I could send one DM to my younger self, I’d tell him to be more present.
I wish I had experienced every moment fully, both the highs and the lows. I spent too much time avoiding the painful moments instead of sitting with them and learning from them.
Even when I was up over $100K in class, I’d just go back to doing homework like nothing happened.
Looking back, I wish I had embraced the highs and lows more instead of trying to numb myself to everything. I think life is more meaningful when you allow yourself to fully experience it.”

“when you’re young, you’re in a mindset of scarcity. You walk into a negotiation thinking, ‘I must win so that he can lose.’
But the world has changed, and especially in crypto, we’re in one of the most abundant industries in the world.
In a world of abundance, if I win and you win, we both win. And when we both succeed, the entire industry grows.
I’d rather see you succeed and me succeed so we can build a bigger industry together than spend our time fighting over the same space.”

“fomo is generally the best product to come out of crypto in literally forever, and it’s a great top of funnel opportunity.
The whole thing is one big CTA that benefits the viewer. They get to watch entertaining content, learn something new, and discover a platform they can actually use.
It’s content that naturally brings people to fomo because the product fits the experience.”

“My first onboarding to crypto was in 2017. My brother was a big computer nerd, and we installed Coinbase and started playing around with crypto.
Instead of buying a lot of crypto, I ended up buying a bunch of Nvidia 1080 Ti GPUs and started mining. We were mining DigiByte and some Zcash too.”

“We have one life, and I want to remember and enjoy the full experience of all of it.
I want to have this ultimate experience where I have the contrast of extreme highs and extreme lows, because they go hand in hand.
Everyone wants to minimize the lows as much as possible, but without them, the highs wouldn’t be as great.”
