- Life is simple, you wake up, you get excited about the small gifts of daily life that everyone takes for granted, you also get excited about a few big goals that require you to grow into a smarter, mentally stronger, spiritually mature person, and you enjoy the whole process
- There is no one to impress, do it for yourself, enjoy the process, if you have enough patience, you will look back in ten years, and realize you went far beyond what you thought you could achieve, and that things only started to connect once you "gave up" and started to relax.

- AI 'Underdog' Watchlist - 10 Projects:
New AI launches are a crowded trade.
Everyone is sifting through the mud, hoping to find nuggets of gold.
But what if some gold was hiding in plain sight?
Let's shift our focus from the new and shiny to the seasoned underdogs.
Some of the biggest AI breakthroughs are old projects that have pivoted.
They often adapt their use case to blend with AI in a subtle yet impactful way.
Many also boast strong networks, healthy supply schedules, and veteran teams.
Here are some examples & ideas:
$RNDR: Originally for rendering, now powers diverse AI applications with its GPUs.
$AR: it's new AO computer enables LLMs to function within smart contracts.
$LPT: a leading video infra network now branching into AI inferencing.
$FIL: storage for AI; effective for archiving LLM snapshots & synthetic backups.
$AIOZ: building a AI ecosystem for model training & dataset storage.
$NEAR: a renown L1 now undergoing a 3-6 month revamp for user-owned AI.
$ROSE: aiming to offer privacy infrastructure AI needs to protect users & scale.
$PHA & $POND: use TEEs for trustworthy ML model inference/training (teeML).
$PRIME: new game launching in Q4 leveraging in-game autonomous agents.
These are just a few recent examples. To find your own opportunities, consider:
1. Projects in sectors tangential to AI
2. Old blue-chips that have rebranded
3. Recent hiring activities, e.g. AI engineer
4. Projects partnered with new AI launches

- Anxiety is what happens when you keep getting prepared for the next big opportunity, but every single time, you get scared, make up excuses, convince yourself to choose the safer path, while deep down, you know that you could achieve so much more if you could just overthink less.
- The best conversations happen between two people who need nothing from each other, two people who are simply genuinely curious and interested about the other’s perspective on life.
- The best indicators of a successful life are how joyful, high in energy, genuinely caring you are in your daily life.
- Getting things done has nothing to do with whether you feel like it or not: you need to create an environment that incorporate tough trainings as part of a routine, and when you look back in a decade, you will suddenly notice that life got much better, because you got much better
- 4 narratives/trends I'll be focusing on VERY carefully over the next few months:
Restaking Protocols On Solana: Untapped market and retail has barely caught on, so many gains here.
AI and Cloud Computing: Expect massive growth; these projects are here to stay.
Memes: Always keep exposure, but limit minimal exposure at absolute MAX.
BASE Ecosystem: Anticipate a parabolic run — larger than most other ecosystems.
- People who are not living the life they want always find foolish reasons to waste other people's time.
In doubt, hang out with ambitious people with clear goals, they respect their own time, and will respect yours too.
- For most people, lack of emotional control is a bigger obstacle than lack of intelligence.
- Fantom + Sonic = Fantom/Meme season
- There was a time when token used to launch at 50-100-200 million FDV and goes down to 10-50 mln FDV then take both Retail and VCs on board and then that train used to visit 1billion or so valuation and in the process all Retail , VC and Team make money
Now the VC cartel and team launch at 10 billion FDV on day one and then let it bleed slowly trapping retail and in the process only VCs and Team are making money
Recent examples are @lens/worldcoin @lens/starkneteco @lens/wormhole @lens/arbitrumdailytk @lens/eigenlayer and every recent @lens/binance launchpool listings..
Similarly ICOs were launched with 10-20 % token supply and fair valuation. Now look at @lens/coinlist sale every Tom Dick and Harry project launching at 5-15x valuation from seed pre seed and rekting retail on launch for eg @lens/archwayhq @lens/networkmeson @lens/peaqnetwork
That’s why meme are booming atleast they are having fair launch despite of zero utility ..
Making money is difficult now and lots of effort is required compared to early cycle.
