doctor: do you smoke?
me: yes
doctor: how many packs a day
me: 3 packs
doctor: how much per pack
me: $10
doctor: how long have you been smoking
me: 15 years
doctor: so one pack cost $10 and you have 3 packs a day meaning you spend $900/month and $10800/year, correct?
me: correct
doctor: if in one year you spend $10,800 not accounting for inflation, the past 15 years put your spending at $162,000 correct?
me: correct
doctor: do you know that if you haven't smoked, that money could have been put in a set up interest savings account and after 15 yrs with interest you could have now bought a ferra

most people wonder how they click just one bad link
and hackers have access to their wallet without having the seedphrase or password
let me break it down for you:
when you create a hot wallet like metamask etc, your private key is stored in a vault file on your device
that vault file sits on your computer in a folder anyone can find
and only your wallet password can open it
the bad link you clicked automatically sends the vault file to the hacker's server
if your password is weak hackers can easily use brute force tools to crack it and get your PK
this is the way they drain all your funds

a lot has gone down in the past 48 hours allegations that kalshi volume is fake and orchestrated, top traders' PnLs on fomo are fabricated, ansem allegedly behind multiple top trading accounts
whether any of this is true or not isn't even the point the point is most of what you see online is designed to make you feel behind
fake volume to make a platform look active, fake PnLs to make you think everyone is winning, fake accounts to manufacture credibility
and you're sitting there comparing your real life to someone else's manufactured one feeling like you're not doing enough. not making enoug

when you send ETH to someone you're not actually "sending" anything
nothing moves from your wallet to theirs
what actually happens is the blockchain updates a database
it subtracts from your balance and adds to theirs
that's it. just numbers changing on a global spreadsheet
your ETH never "traveled" anywhere. it doesn't exist physically
it's just a record on a ledger that says "this address now has X amount"
the same way your bank balance isn't physical cash sitting in a vault
it's just a number on a screen that everyone agrees is real
the only difference? your bank can change that number when

one quote i will forever live by:
as long as there’s life there’s hope

i have a lot of money making ideas in my head. but i can't do it alone, need some quality chads along side. i’m taking mid 6 figures

what is your contribution to the crypto space?
mine: i'm always the exit liquidity to every coin i buy

it honestly still surprising that some big accounts with over $500k in portfolio don't have a cold wallet where they store their crypto. now i see the reason most of them don't post about security cause they themselves are not security wise.

who is in lag and plays b-ball? 🏀

unpopular opinion:
if you're not having a happy life with your $100
you won't be happier when you have $10k

almost everyone and their mum is hurriedly pivoting to NFTs on zcash
it only take one rug to put your body back to tranquility

the reason you’re not growing is because
you’re trying to copy every successful person and be like them

we can all actually win if we support each other
but no we won't

one of the ways you can be successful in the creator thing
is when you dissolve your entire emotion from your post performance
100 views: zero enthusiasm
1m views: zero enthusiasm
this way you can keep going and showing up even on your worst days
the moment you let views control your mood you'll most likely quit along the way

ever wondered why your transaction gets "stuck" sometimes?
here's what's actually happening under the hood
every transaction from your wallet has a number called a "nonce"
your first ever transaction is nonce 0. second is nonce 1. third is nonce 2
the blockchain processes them in order. strictly
if nonce 4 is pending the blockchain will not process nonce 5 until nonce 4 confirms first
so if transaction #4 has a low gas fee and gets stuck in the mempool
transaction #5, #6, #7 are all queued behind it. waiting. doing nothing
this is why sometimes you do a swap and it just hangs forever. and then

satoshi would not believe this is the crypto industry he left in 2009

dad: " my question for you is simple "
me: " ok dad, what is it? "
dad: " is an airplane safer on the ground or in the air "
me: " on the ground dad "
dad: " but what is its purpose "
me: "uhh to fly? "
dad: " a plane that never takes off never crashes but it will never get anywhere "
dad: " you're the plane "
dad: " playing life safe can be one of the riskiest moves you'll ever make "
dad: " everyday you stay parked is a day you're not where you're supposed to be "
dad: " you're the one who decides wether to stay grounded or take off "

if you bought ₦1M worth of a stock 5 years ago and it's worth ₦5M today
you didn't become richer. you barely survived
in 2021 ₦1M was about $750
today ₦5M is about $3,700
sounds like a win right? 5x in naira. $750 turned to $3,700
but what could ₦1M buy in 2021 vs what ₦5M can buy today?
almost the same things. maybe less
rent went up. food went up. fuel went up. everything went up
your naira did 5x but your cost of living did 4.5x
that's not investing. that's surviving
