crypto is a rare market where hierarchy barely works. in traditional business, an assistant, a pr department and years of reputation stand between you and the founder of a billion-dollar company. in crypto, one dm stands between you and him.
the doors are open
founders, ceos and ctos of major companies live in the same feed as you. they like posts, leave comments, reply to strangers. not because they have nothing to do, but because the market is young and signal here is worth more than status. a sharp thought from an unknown account weighs more than a job title.
write first
most people never write. they're sure there will be no reply, and that certainty works as a filter in your favor. one precise comment, one useful thread, one message that asks for nothing - and you're already on the radar of someone you'd spend years reaching in classic business.
play the long game
access is an advance, not a prize. use it to give value, not to ask. a year later these dialogues turn into partnerships, investments and roles you couldn't have applied for. the market is open exactly as wide as you're willing to walk through the door.
