“I find it fascinating how there are 17, 18, 19, 20 year old kids who are multimillionaires based off crypto. These kids are making $10 - 20 million off crypto. I find that fascinating.”
“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.”

“Without meme coins, we wouldn’t have learned how to create digital value out of attention. That’s a skill we’ve developed in crypto that could never have existed without them.
I’m not a meme coin trader because, with the limited time I have, I’d rather build a P&L by learning where the money and transaction fees come from.
I’d rather spend my time understanding the infrastructure behind the industry than chasing the next wave of attention."
"But memcoins are fantastic."

“If MrBeast collabs with a company and they do something great, maybe they create a billion or two billion dollars in market cap.
If the biggest trader in the world with the biggest audience max shills something for six months, it could be ten billion dollars in market cap.
The world’s top traders drive so much more capital flow than the world’s biggest YouTubers. We’ve never consolidated that much power before, but that’s going to start happening.
Traders are the new celebrities.”

“I think we’re still early. There’ll be more creators that break out, and I don’t think it’s long before some of these social trading apps have 100 million users.
The average person on the street still doesn’t know even the biggest creators. That’s how small this space is compared to the overall population.”

My content is not just something I planned. It’s literally the life I want to live, and I’m just recording it.
I have one life, and if I’m lucky, 85 years to experience as much as possible. I want to try the best food, stay in beautiful villas, drive fast cars, and have the craziest experiences while I’m still young.
People think it’s financially irresponsible, but I save the majority of what I make and have money invested for the long term. I’m not spending everything I earn.
I’d rather enjoy these experiences in my 20s and write poetry in my 30s than wait until I’m 40 to start enjoying life. When I see 40 year olds at the club, I know I’m having way more fun with my 20 something year old friends.
Life has different chapters, and I can’t wait for the family chapter, becoming a father, and eventually a grandfather. But right now, I’m travelling the world, enjoying the rewards of years of grinding, and living the life I always wanted.
I’m not waiting until I’m old to start living.
