Gacha proves consumer crypto is more about the experience than the tech The truth is people want the easiest way to participate in crypto while still experiencing all the features And the reason Gacha works is because it takes something familiar, like scratch cards, and…

Pro tip for founders: Hire people who take responsibility for their actions without being told When everyone leads, no single point of failure can kill your startup. The mission becomes bigger than any individual, including the founder.

The best position in crypto isn't being the face of a company but being the force behind it I've helped build companies worth billions while staying relatively unknown Being the face gets you attention but being the force gives you experience and leverage I did the heavy…

Building real relationships is like opening an investment account In the beginning, you keep putting time into genuine conversations with very little immediate benefit But over time, it compounds until it's your main source of opportunities There's no downside to being real.

This space is so extractive that value-first relationships are extremely rare People only make connections when they want something in return If you want recognition, choose to be known for what you give not what you need. The market rewards givers exponentially.

Everyone's been screaming "crypto needs better UX" for years Hundreds of new chains have promised to bring crypto to end consumers but most still focus on fast txs and low fees Abstract took a different path yet people still call it inorganic Here's exactly how this story will…

Seen too many mid Pokemon packs on my feed so here's a TL cleanse Only reply to this if your collection can actually compete with mine.

You can be early but early to the wrong trend In 2020, my team built one of the first working metaverses during COVID Metaverse projects raised millions thinking virtual worlds were the future but we had a rude awakening Lesson: Build for real human behavior and lasting value.

All the top products on Abstract found PMF without making outrageous promises → @ProofOfPlay - $320K+ revenue → @gacha_game_ - $2M+ revenue → @playgigaverse - $1.5M+ revenue → @MyriadMarkets - $10M+ volume → @LOLLandGame - $500K+ revenue That's what happens when you…

“KOL”, “CMO”, “CT lead”, “Head of growth” These are all impressive titles that really mean nothing on CT Real authority comes from authentic experience not ‘claimed’ expertise or flaunting Anyone can earn credibility by showing what they’ve done and teaching what they know

Most people don't know me yet, they know this instead → Gacha is one of the biggest apps on Abstract → Sleek labs had the most viral product at crypto events (sleek cards) → Binance Labs was the most profitable investment fund between 2021/22 The thing is I've been building…

My prediction is the majority of products that go mainstream will be glorified gambling apps The entire world will be forced to speculate on random things Human psychology is wired for discovery and risk-taking Crypto just makes these experiences more transparent and social

Crypto has an unhealthy retention problem Over the years, we've forced people to do the things they dislike and bait them with incentives We created artificial trends instead of focusing on actual user behavior But this is changing quickly, and Abstract is leading this change.

GM Can you guess what this dish is called?

I've analyzed 200+ deals across multiple industries at Binance The best investments shared 3 simple patterns most VCs completely miss: 1. Boring business models win 90% of the time Our best returns came from projects solving the problems trad businesses already pay for. These…

At 5, I moved to Singapore and could barely speak english At 12, I was self-taught and constantly in the top 3 in my class At 25, I was analyzing $2B real estate deals at Blackstone This didn't happen because I was smart but because I learned to compete The education system…

Two years in Singapore's infantry taught me more about business than most MBA programs. Here are a few lessons that transferred directly to crypto: → Creativity often comes from a lack of resources → Pressure makes certain patterns easier to see → Every mission needs a clear…

Be prepared to make hard sacrifices if you're young and intend to go full-time web3 In 2021, I took a 50% pay cut from a high-paying finance job to join Binance as a director It looked stupid to those around me yet turned out to be the best sacrifice of my career The decision…

The biggest edge in building is speed of iteration Slow loops: Build → Polish → Launch → Learn (3-6 months) Fast loops: Build → Launch → Learn → Iterate (1-2 weeks) In 6 months, slow teams get 1-2 learning cycles while fast ones get 12-24 Who's winning here?
