Hit that Follow button and the notification bell to get my daily posts.

Stop comparing yourself to others.

There will always be someone bigger, smarter, richer, faster.

That’s true in life. 

And it’s especially true in web3.

• Someone will raise $50M while you’re still bootstrapping. 
• Someone will pull 100K followers while you are stuck at 1K. 
• Someone will launch an new chain before you even ship an MVP.

If you compare yourself to them, you’ll lose every time.

Because you’re playing their scoreboard, not yours.

The only comparison that matters is the version of you from yesterday.

• Did you ship something today?
• Did you learn something new?
• Did you improve even 1%?

This industry rewards consistency more than luck.

People who play long-term games win.

So all you have to do is:

• Keep showing up.
• Keep improving.
• Keep building.

That’s the real advantage.

In a space where everything moves fast, the real flex is being better than who you were 24 hours ago.

That’s how you win in web3.

Happy Sunday.

Helping web3 & B2B businesses turn LinkedIn into a lead-gen and growth engine | Building personal brands for crypto leaders | Startup & GTM Advisor | Shirtless Ultramarathoner

Crypto was born on X (Twitter).

But LinkedIn is where it's going to scale.

That is the shift nobody is talking about.

𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 is not a gimmick.

It is becoming the new center of gravity for the entire industry.

Why?

Because the space is finally moving from chaos to maturity.

From experiments to revenue.
From anon devs to real operators.
From memes to measurable business.

And that shift changes everything.

Crypto LinkedIn also brings a level of legitimacy the industry has never had before:

• No toxic environment
• No rugpull schemes running openly 
• No anonymous degens pumping memecoins

People show up with their real names, real titles and real reputations.

And maintain civil discourse.

Making it possible to build authority and trust.

At the same time, crypto is being adopted by enterprises, institutions and TradFi.

And the people driving those decisions operate on LinkedIn, not X.

Which is why if you are building in web3, especially in B2B, this is the platform you need to be on.

It is where the next wave of web3 leaders start serious conversations, shape their reputation and close real deals.

P.S.
If you are a web3 leader/business and want to scale your business or build a personal brand, DM me GROWTH.

Public blockchain data was never supposed to be a feature.

It was a workaround.

A temporary artifact of not having better tools.

Early blockchains had to expose everything because it was the only way for the network to verify the state.

Everyone had to see everything so consensus could work.

But that design came with a hidden cost:

→ Your salary
→ Your portfolio
→ Your transactions
→ Your trading strategy

All visible to everyone.

This wasn’t “radical transparency.”

It was a limitation of 2009 cryptography.

And now that limitation is finally breaking.

A new generation of privacy-preserving technologies is emerging that keeps the rails public while the data becomes encrypted by default.

→ ZK (zero-knowledge) proofs let you verify claims without exposing the inputs.

→ MPC (Multi-Party Computation) lets multiple participants collaborate without revealing anything to each other.

→ FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) lets smart contracts compute on encrypted data without ever decrypting it.

Meaning encrypted trades, liquidity, and balances are all computed but never revealed publicly.

This is not a small upgrade.

Encryption lets ETH, L2s, and chains like Solana keep their consensus engines exactly as they are, while transforming what happens inside the smart contracts.

→ For Ethereum, it means DeFi can evolve into private trading, private lending, private market making.

Without MEV extraction or leaking strategy to competitors.

→ For L2s, it introduces a new differentiation layer.

Not faster blocks, but encrypted execution environments that feel like running private apps on a public network.

→ For Solana, it means high-throughput apps can keep their speed.

While removing the data-leakage that scares institutions away.

And across every existing chain, it unlocks:

→ Dark pools without frontrunning
→ Payroll without exposing salaries
→ Regulated assets with selective visibility
→ Corporate accounting without leaking financials

This is the crypto version of the shift from HTTP to HTTPS.

The rails stay open.

The consensus stays public.

But the data finally becomes private.

And this is what unlocks mainstream adoption.
 
Because the 99% of global finance and enterprise workflows could not touch blockchain before due to privacy concerns.

P.S. 
Which sector do you think will be the first to go fully private on-chain?

Talks about #ai, #web3, #crypto, #startups, and #technology

There are 100+ Layer 2 (L2) chains on Ethereum. 

But most of them are concentrated around 4 Superchains:

• Polygon
• Arbitrum Orbit
• ZKSync Elastic Chain
• Optimism Superchain

Each Superchain is offering interoperability to end users of its member chains.

And they are fiercely competing to attract new projects to build on their frameworks.

Their ultimate success will depend on:

↳ How developer-friendly their stack is
↳ The adoption of their interoperability tools
↳ The strength of their incentives for new chains

But why do Superchains matter?

Because they:

↳ Simplify the fragmented L2 landscape
↳ Ensure seamless interactions between chains
↳ Empower developers with modular tools and scalability

--

The rise of Superchains signals a shift in the Ethereum ecosystem.

The question isn’t whether Superchains will dominate - It’s who will emerge as the leader.

So it’s no longer just about building an L2 — It’s about joining a collective with network effect.

The bigger the Superchain, the greater its gravity to pull in projects.

P.S.
Which Superchain are you most bullish on?

Michael Saylor’s Strategy is now under the threat of being DELISTED.
 
And that alone could unleash up to $11.6B in forced liquidations.

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is the world largest Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) company.

• Trades at 0.9× mNAV
• Holds 649,870 BTC worth ~$54B
• Its stock is already down -43% year-to-date

So how did the strongest BTC balance sheet in the world end up in this position?

It all started with Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI).

One of the most influential index providers on the planet.
 
Their classifications dictate how trillions in passive capital move.

And MSCI is now questioning whether Strategy should be treated as a Digital Asset Treasury vehicle instead of a normal operating business.

If that sounds technical, here’s the simple truth:

↳ If MSCI reclassifies Strategy, it gets kicked out of multiple MSCI indices.
↳ And every passive fund tracking those indices is forced to sell.

JPMorgan analysts estimate $2.8B in immediate outflows if MSCI removes it.

And if Nasdaq, S&P, and Russell follow the same logic, another $8.8B of selling could hit.

Pushing the total potential sell pressure to $11.6B.

This is why the entire industry is paying attention.

Because this isn’t about Strategy alone.

It’s about whether companies holding BTC at scale will continue to be allowed inside mainstream financial benchmarks.

So what's Strategy's response?

Saylor pushed back instantly:

• Strategy is not a trust, fund, or holding company
• It’s an operating firm with $500M revenue software business
• Bitcoin is only a form of “productive capital” as a part of its treasury strategy

But index providers don’t move on belief systems.

They move on categorization.

And right now, Strategy no longer fits neatly in theirs.

This moment will decide something far bigger than one ticker:

→ Will corporate BTC treasuries be recognized as legitimate business strategy?
→ Or will they be pushed out of major indices and treated like investment vehicles?

The next MSCI update will shape that answer.

And billions of BTC flows depend on it.

P.S. 
Do you think Strategy and other DAT companies will be delisted?

I tracked 100+ successful web3 Founders on LinkedIn.

NONE of them tried to go viral on X.

Pattern I found:

Losers: post hype updates every day.
Winners: build consistent narratives that strengthens their positioning.

Losers: focus on likes.
Winners: ignore it, measure inbound opportunities.

Losers: speak to crypto natives.
Winners: translate their value for enterprise and business buyers.

The small % of web3 Founders who succeed here, do the opposite of what everyone else does.

Which group are you in?

Many web3 founders wonder why enterprises won’t buy from them.

It’s NOT their tech holding them back.

It’s the way they communicate it.

Most founders speak in crypto-native language.

Hype. Jargon. Protocol talk.

Perfect for the X (Twitter) crowd.

Useless for enterprise buyers on LinkedIn.

Because these buyers don’t care about decentralisation, block space or validator sets.

They care about:

→ Reducing risk
→ Improving margins
→ Staying compliant in regulated environments
→ Getting clear outcomes they can defend internally

And when your messaging doesn’t map to those outcomes, two things happen:

• They don’t understand what you do
• They don’t trust you enough to buy

This is the silent killer of Web3 B2B growth.

Your team world-class.
Your traction impressive.
Your product can be brilliant.

But if your narrative doesn’t translate into their language, your deals die before the first call.

The teams that win outside crypto do something different:

→ They stop selling tech and start selling outcomes
→ They rebuild the founder’s LinkedIn for credibility
→ They reposition their story around business impact
→ They publish content that speaks to decision-makers, not degens

Because enterprises don’t buy innovation.

They buy clarity.

Fix the story and the sales motion finally starts moving.

P.S. 
Want to see how a web3 Founder’s narrative sounds when it’s rewritten for enterprise buyers instead of crypto natives?

Every web3 brand wants to grow on X (Twitter).

But nobody wants to waste $30K a month on vanity KOL posts.

The biggest lie in web3 distribution is that “more is better.”

More followers.
More impressions.
More “viral” KOL boosts.

But you already know the truth.

It’s easy to buy bots, get fake engagement, and rack up meaningless impressions.

But none of that gives you mindshare, conversions, or a real audience.

Tunnl fixes this with quality, not quantity.

It's a creator-led distribution network and works in 4 simple steps:

1/ Post on X
2/ Drop your post into Tunnl
3/ Pick a USDC budget tier for the post
4/ Let verified creators with real audiences amplify it

It’s predictable, scalable, and finally puts your content in front of real humans.

I know this because I’ve been testing it myself lately.

My X presence is small, just a few hundred followers. 

But since I started using Tunnl, I've been getting genuinely smart followers on X who actually read, think, and engage.

But here’s the most interesting part:

Tunnl isn’t just for brands that want to grow on X.

It’s also for X users and creators who want to earn rewards while growing themselves.

Anyone can join for free and instantly start earning “Tickets” (Tunnl’s loyalty points) just by participating and engaging.

And those tickets are powerful.

You can use them to compete for the $25,000 Season 1 prize pool.

If you’re joining for the first time, use my link so you start with extra tickets from day one.

Link is in the comments.

Crypto LinkedIn was a JOKE two years ago.

But now?

It’s becoming web3 industry’s new power center.

Because crypto is finally merging with the professional world.

Not just anon founders shipping chaos.
Not just hype, pumps, and prayer.
Not just early-stage noise.

The ecosystem is maturing fast.

→ Real revenue
→ Real customers
→ Real business models
→ Web2 giants building Digital Asset teams
→ Institutions hiring talent directly from crypto

X was the playground.

LinkedIn is the boardroom.

On X, you win attention.

On LinkedIn, you win deals.

Founders refine their narratives.
Operators show their work.
Executives build credibility.
Web3 VCs source deals.

This isn’t a side platform anymore.

It’s where the next decade of crypto adoption will be shaped by professionals, not pseudonyms.

Crypto LinkedIn isn’t a trend.

It’s the movement that takes crypto mainstream.

P.S.
I'm starting a cabal of Crypto LinkedIn creators to turn this into a movement.

If this vibes with you and we are not connected, DM me.

We all talk about stablecoins as the next big meta in crypto.

But there’s another 100x opportunity still dormant.

Stablecoins already proved their point.

They surpassed $300B in market cap.

They settle more volume annually than VISA.

They have clear product-market fit across CEXs, DeFi, payments, remittances, on/off ramps, etc.

But tokenized equities?

They’re still sitting under $1B onchain.

That’s nothing.

The US equities market alone is worth well over $60 TRILLION.

So even a tiny slice migrating onchain — 0.5%, 1%, 2% — would mean hundreds of billions flowing into tokenized assets.

And the early signs are already here.

Many companies like Ondo Finance or xStocks are already offering tokenized stocks.

Even Nasdaq has recently filed a rule change to allow trading of tokenized stocks and ETFs on its order book using DTC’s blockchain infrastructure.

That's because traditional rails are slow, restricted by trading hours, clogged with intermediaries, and settle days after execution.

But tokenized stocks flip this on its head:

• 24/7 trading
• Global access
• Instant settlement
• Direct self-custody
• Full composability with DeFi

This unlock is massive.

When equities live natively onchain, they’re no longer trapped inside siloed brokerage accounts.

They become liquid, portable, programmable assets that can move freely across networks.

→ You can LP them.
→ You can borrow against them.
→ You can fractionalize or bundle them.
→ You can plug them into automated strategies and routing systems.

It also transforms market structure itself.

Capital becomes far more efficient because it no longer sits frozen in multi-day settlement cycles.

And liquidity becomes deeper because assets consolidate on shared onchain rails instead of being fragmented across dozens of brokers and venues.

Equities going onchain one day will be bigger than stablecoins.

Stablecoins were the proof of concept.

Tokenized equities will be the industrial revolution.

This is the meta nobody is paying attention to.

Yet it’s the one with the highest upside.

P.S.
Do you own any tokenized stocks onchain?

Many teams tried to build decentralized social networks.

Yet NONE of them escaped the gravity of web2.

For the last 4.5 years, Farcaster, Lens, friend dot tech and others tried to answer the same question.

Can you rebuild Twitter and Instagram onchain and get people to actually move there?

Farcaster went the furthest:

• Raised $100M from VCs
• Attracted top crypto natives
• Shipped a sufficiently decentralized protocol

On paper, they had everything a decentralized social network needed to break out.

Yet its Co-Founder and CEO Dan Romero just admitted the uncomfortable truth almost every SocialFi team avoids.

After years of shipping, iterating, and pushing growth, the social graph still didn’t scale.

The feed didn’t go mainstream.

The user base never escaped the early-adopter bubble.

Translation: they never found product-market fit.

So now Farcaster is pivoting away from the social-first strategy and prioritizing a wallet instead.

Ironically, the wallet category is already brutally competitive.

Coinbase Wallet (Base), MetaMask, Phantom and others dominate the market with far deeper distribution and trust.

If building a decentralized social network was a steep uphill climb.

Then going head-to-head with the largest wallets in crypto might be an even harder one.

But the real lesson is bigger than Farcaster.

Crypto crowd never liked X, Meta, LinkedIn and every web2 platform for years.

We talk about censorship, centralization, and owning your data.

Yet when given real Web3 alternatives, hardly anyone moves.

Because network effects don’t bend to ideology.

• Your distribution is still on X.
• Your audience is still on LinkedIn.
• Your conversations are still on Instagram and Telegram.

Decentralized social platforms never accumulated the liquidity of attention required to compete.

And without that liquidity, nothing scales.

Whether we like it or not, the world still runs on centralized feeds.

And decentralized social is still looking for its first real breakout moment.

P.S.
Do you think we will ever see a decentralized social media going mainstream?

YES.

Throughout my life, I've stacked more rejections than I can remember.

Every “no” felt heavy.

Every setback felt personal.

Did I feel like giving up? You bet I did.

Did I feel like a failure? Oh yeah.

Did I actually give up? Never.

The truth is simple: perseverance beats perfection.

The people who break through aren’t the ones with shortcuts or talent hacks.

They’re the ones who show up on the days it’s boring, painful, or thankless.

↳ They take one more step.
↳ Ship one more thing.
↳ Try one more time.

Over and over again.

For an extraordinary amount of time.

And in web3, this matters even more.

Because this industry moves at 10X speed.

So only the ones who keep moving forward survive the volatility, the noise, and the uncertainty.

So the next time you feel stuck or ready to drop the ball…

Remember that every “No” is part of the process.

Keep going.

Your “YES” is coming.

FX (Foreign Exchange) is the world’s largest yet least modernized market.

Circle is now taking a direct shot at this outdated system.

For decades, FX has been trapped in a slow, fragmented, capital-heavy infrastructure.

Circle is breaking that.

StableFX by Circle is a new on-chain FX engine built for regulated institutions.

It combines institutional quote-based pricing with smart-contract settlement.

This allows approved parties to trade and settle currency pairs inside a controlled, compliance-first environment:

→ Instant settlement instead of T+1.
→ Atomic delivery instead of counterparty risk.
→ 24/7 execution instead of banking-hour windows.

And it all runs on Arc, Circle’s new Layer 1 designed exclusively for institutional finance.

Arc already has over 100 institutional participants on its testnet.

Circle is also integrating regulated non-USD stablecoins into the network such as:

• BRLA (Brazilian Real)
• AUDF (Australian Dollar)
• KRW1 (South Korean Won)

This creates a global liquidity layer where regional currencies can move digitally with precision, speed, and compliance.

And Circle is going straight after the $7.5T per day FX market.

If Arc becomes the settlement layer for stablecoin FX flows, it rewrites how institutional money moves around the world.

FX has been stuck for decades.

So Circle is trying to reset the entire system.

This isn’t a small upgrade.

It’s a fundamental rewrite of how value moves between countries, institutions, and currencies.

With stablecoins sitting at the center of this shift.

P.S. 
When FX finally goes on-chain, which currency benefits the most?

The most important report on institutional L2 adoption just dropped.

Here are the key 8 insights that you need to know:

1/ L2s are shifting from retail casinos to financial infrastructure.

Capital, stablecoins and transaction volume are concentrating on a small group of L2s.

These chains already process the majority of L2 economic activity.

If you're an L2 without a clear institutional role, you're already behind.

2/ Most L2s still run on training wheels, and institutions notice.

Centralized sequencers control execution on nearly every L2 today.

Upgrade timelocks remain short, and emergency pause switches are still common.

For serious money, the real question is:

Who can stop this chain, and how fast?

3/ Ethereum data availability remains the institutional anchor.

Posting data to Ethereum gives L2s its security guarantees and its regulatory familiarity.

Alt-DA and validium designs reduce cost but introduce trust assumptions around committees, operators, and custody.

Institutional risk teams don’t ignore those assumptions.

4/ The L2 map is crowded, but the institutional shortlist is not.

There are more than 100+ rollups, yet institutional attention clusters around a few: 

• Base
• zkSync
• Arbitrum
• Some OP Stack chains

Those with transparent risk models, verifiable metrics, and clear decentralization roadmaps get the attention.

5/ Governance is now part of the L2 product.

Risk committees, upgrade frameworks, and public incident playbooks are becoming mandatory.

Banks and asset managers evaluate governance as seriously as throughput or fees.

6/ Fragmentation is the biggest operational risk for institutions.

Every new L2 adds another bridge path, exit window, gas token and settlement flow.

Institutions don’t want 50 isolated environments.

They want one unified settlement fabric that behaves predictably across the stack.

7/ Winners blend credible neutrality with compliance-ready design.

Chains that inherit Ethereum security while exposing clear monitoring, analytics and compliance layers look the most ready for RWAs and payments.

Pure degen chains or fully permissioned setups lose long-term relevance.

8/ Ethereum’s roadmap is effectively the L2 roadmap.

EIP-4844 already cut DA costs by ~90%.

Future upgrades around data sampling, proof verification and light-client security compound these gains.

--

Rollups aligned with Ethereum will benefit from institutional adoptions.

Whereas those drifting away only increase their risk and cost.

If you're an institution, building an L2, selling B2B solutions to L2s, this is must read.

Check out this awesome report by Etherealize , Nethermind and L2BEAT.

P.S.
Which L2 chain are you most bullish on?

Future of Financial Infrastructure Ethereum's L2 Landscape

Tether's solvency is being questioned again.

Traders say a BTC and gold price crash could wipe out its equity.

Here’s what’s actually going on.

Tether’s latest disclosures show about 77% of reserves in cash and cash equivalents.

Think short term T-bills, repos, bank deposits.

The boring, low risk stuff.

The remaining 23% sits in a risk bucket:

• Gold.
• Loans.
• Bitcoin.
• Corporate debt.
• And a vague “other investments” line.

On paper, Tether has a roughly $6–7B equity cushion on top of all USDT liabilities.

At the same time, its combined gold + Bitcoin position is over $20B.

Arthur Hayes dug into those numbers and made a simple point.

If BTC and gold fall roughly 30–40% from here, the mark to market loss on that bucket alone would be large enough to wipe out Tether’s equity.

At that point, USDT would be balance sheet insolvent on paper, even if redemptions kept working in practice.

That is the core of the “Tether is insolvent” narrative.

Now zoom out.

A few things can be true at the same time.

→ Tether is extremely profitable from its Treasury book.
→ Owners could, in theory, inject more capital if needed.
→ It has survived multiple stress events and large redemptions already.
→ USDT has very sticky demand across CEXs, perps markets and emerging markets.

So do I think Tether blows up tomorrow?

Probably not.

For a true run to break USDT you would likely need both:

1. A sharp crash in BTC and gold that nukes the equity cushion.
   
2. And a huge wave of redemptions that drains most of the 77% cash equivalent buffer.

That kind of double tail event is possible, but not very likely.

The real issue is the incentive structure.

Tether is taking a directional bet.

Rotate out of T-bills as rates fall.

Rotate into BTC, gold and other higher beta assets.

Capture upside on the house balance sheet.

If it works, Tether wins.

If it fails, USDT holders (aka you and me) are the ones underwriting the risk, even though they never share the upside.

Under the new U.S. GENIUS Act, a stablecoin is supposed to be backed 1:1 with dollars and true cash equivalents like short term Treasuries.

No big buckets of BTC, gold or opaque loans.

On that score, Tether in its current form would NOT qualify.

--

In plain English, Tether is:

• Exposing you to unnecessary risk to make more money on BTC and gold.
• Sharing exactly ZERO of that upside with you.

That risk is not systemic in my view.

But it is clearly NOT zero either.

So if you are comfortable underwriting that non-zero risk for the liquidity and convenience, you hold USDT.

If you are not, the market gives you plenty of more conservative alternatives like USDC.

P.S.
Do you still hold your stablecoins in USDT?

If you think you’re too smart to be scammed?

You just became the ideal target.

Scams today don’t start with obvious red flags.

They start with everyday moments that feel routine and harmless.

• A $1 delivery fee that slowly drains your account.
• A crypto course that quietly funnels people into traps.
• Fake profiles, deepfake videos, and copycat apps so polished they fool anyone.

This is why 2 out of 3 adults in the US have been scammed.

And most never tell anyone.

Modern fraud has professionalized.

Scammers are building scam funnels the same way startups build growth funnels.

They pick a niche.

They spin up landing pages, fake apps, Tinder profiles, deepfake videos.

They test scripts, study emotions, and engineer experiences that disarm people step-by-step.

That's why even smart and tech-savvy pros still get pulled in.

Real protection has to start long before money moves:

• Spot risky patterns early
• Add friction only where it matters
• Help people pause before reacting
• Connect intelligence across apps and platforms

To understand how these scams take shape, check out the What The Fraud podcast by Sumsub.

It reveals the tactics fraudsters rely on and breaks down the psychology behind modern scams.

Helping  you spot the patterns before they hit you or your users.

If you work in crypto, fintech, compliance, or fraud prevention, it’s a podcast worth subscribing to.

I used to have a long bio here. The truth is, nobody reads all that.

I build relationships with deeptech investors to accelerate capital deployment and fast-track the advancement of human technological capabilities.

I'm also a big clean hydrogen and industrial decarbonization enthusiast, especially natural hydrogen (and co-founder of NatH2Investing).

Interested in collaborating? Let’s talk.

Anthony Muhye

This is Clemens Behrend, and I'm very grateful to him.

To be precise, he's the person who got me back into hydrogen after I had lost my way.

I started creating hydrogen-related content on LinkedIn in 2022, but soon gave up. Criticism, skepticism, and trolls made me feel awkward, and I soon pivoted to safer subjects.

Clemens and I worked together in early 2024, and I realized that none of that phased him.

"It's just engagement", he told me. "Every negative comment helps my post get more views and reach more people."

This positive outlook blew my mind. Since then, I've come back to hydrogen, and I'm loving every second.

Now I want to help him, too.

Clemens is currently looking for work, having taken a new step in his career.

Here’s how he can add value to your company:

Marketing & sales (energy): He's built an audience of ~15k followers across oil & gas, renewables, and manufacturing.
• Customer service leadership: He built and scaled the customer service function at Austria’s first unicorn.
• Web3 business development / junior developer roles: He's built products in the space for over 3 years.
 • Sports & fitness roles: He's also open to roles in the sports and fitness space - having competed for the first time this year.

(Preferences: Remote only.)

Please reach out directly to him. Let's help Clemens, like he helped me when I needed it.

P.S. Even a repost is enough! Thanks 😊
