I raised $1,500,000. I built the tech. Then I lost 100% of my equity in a single phone call.That was my tuition.Most founders in my position would have taken a safe corporate job. I took a look at the Egyptian Real Estate market and realized something terrifying:The safest asset class in the world is currently a trap.The Problem: The Headache TaxIf you want to invest in Real Estate in Egypt today, you are forced into a bad deal. You need 5 Million EGP cash upfront, and you inherit a second job:• Facility Manager: Dealing with maintenance at 2 AM.• Debt Collector: Chasing tenants for rent.• Legal Expert: Navigating the bureaucracy.The barrier to entry is too high. The operational friction is too painful.The Solution: @ Project DividoI built Divido to delete the friction and lower the barrier.We use blockchain infrastructure to fractionalize premium, high-yield assets into accessible slices.How we change the math:• Entry Point: You don't need 5Million EGP. You start with 25K EGP.• True Passivity: We handle the tenants, the maintenance, and the legal. You just own the asset.• Liquidity: You aren't locked in for years. You trade your stake as easily as a stock.My Thesis: The Anti-Abundance StrategyWe are entering an era of AI abundance. Intelligence and labor are becoming cheap. The only things that will retain value are the things you cannot print: Land and Energy.I am betting on Physical Scarcity.Follow the Journey:I am documenting the entire rebuild from the $1.5M loss to the new empire, right here on LinkedIn.

I raised $1,500,000 from scratch. I built a team of 17 geniuses.

And I lost 100% of my equity in a single phone call.

This is not a 30 Under 30 success story.

This is a crime scene investigation of my 20s.

Most founders on LinkedIn show you the exit, the IPO, or the ribbon cutting. They hide the 2 AM panic attacks and the zero-balance bank accounts.

I am going to show you the blood on the floor.
Over the next few weeks, I am releasing the Unfiltered Founder Files.

I am going to take you through the entire messy reality of building (and losing) a FinTech startup in Dubai:

• The Quarantine Pitch: How I convinced a skeptical hedge fund manager to co-found a crypto startup while locked in a house for 14 days during COVID.

• The $300k Mistake: How we burned 30% of our cash on licenses before we even had a product.

• The Betrayal: How I signed a Power of Attorney while clinically depressed, and woke up to find my shares sold behind my back.

• The Rebirth: Why I refused to get a job when I had $0 left, and how I built Project Divido in a market everyone else ignored.

If you are a founder, an investor, or just someone tired of the perfect stories on this app...

Buckle up. 

The first wposode of the The Startup Autopsy series drops tomorrow!!!

Have you ever felt like you lost everything, only to realize it was just the beginning? 👇

I lost $1.5+M in equity overnight. Now building the comeback. | Founder @ Project Divido | Unlock Premium Egyptian Real Estate with just 25K EGP.

Adil, is hitting on a critical transition. We are moving from the Shill Era to the Infrastructure Era.

I have seen the damage caused by chasing KOL hype without understanding the underlying rails. It is a moment of heat when the hype dies and you are left holding a narrative instead of an asset. This is exactly why we built Project Divido. We focus on digital concrete and real world fractionalization because actual utility is the only thing that survives the consolidation phase.

The shift is moving from influencer alpha to structural alpha. 

Tactical take: Audit your feed. If the people you follow talk more about moons than they do about settlement velocity or legal frameworks, you are looking in the wrong direction. Build on the rails, not the noise. 🥂

Web3 Marketing Leader | Scaling brands through strategy, content, and execution

If you still follow KOLs in the crypto space remember this. They are not your friends. Most of the time they are either pumping their own bags or getting paid to shill.

Take Ansem as an example. He hyped $GAS on Bags as the next big thing in AI agent workflows branded it as “gas town” and praised the dev as a genius. The token went from zero to a $60M market cap in no time pulling in a massive wave of followers.

Just three days later it is back under $1M. The dev reportedly cashed out around $300K in fees and essentially told everyone to move on. Textbook pump and dump.

Ansem has also been heavily involved in the Claude meta pushing AI coins on Solana as the future. Many of those collapsed hard. ZachXBT has even called him out for promoting hundreds of low cap memecoins that ended up hurting followers.

✅ For context Bags is a launchpad similar to Pumpfun. In this case Bags founder Finn worked closely with KOLs like Ansem daily volume crossed $400M and serious money was made. KOLs walked away with profits and the token is now back under $1M.

After that the story followed a familiar pattern. He said he was wrong again and suggested he might not support projects like this going forward. But this is how most KOLs operate. The same cycle repeats itself across crypto.

As a marketer I have been observing and working with KOLs for years. When the market does not deliver easy returns many of them turn on their own communities and use followers as exit liquidity for low quality tokens.

I used Ansem as an example but this is the reality for about 99% of KOLs in the space. As someone who has been in crypto marketing for 8 years I can say with confidence there is no shortcut better than organic growth. It takes time patience and real effort but it is the only approach that actually lasts.

The moral is simple. Do not ape blindly.

Do your own research and trade based on your own conviction or you will end up holding the bag while KOLs walk away.

Crypto is ruthless so stay sharp.

P.S. When I saw $GAS it was obvious this would end badly for retail. You do not need years in the space to spot this. You just need to pause ignore the green candles for a moment and actually look at what you are buying.

I was paid to minimize risk for multimillion-dollar entities.

By day, I was an Internal Auditor at Protiviti Global.
By night, I was losing money in the crypto wild west.
Here is the contradiction that changed my career:

In 2018, the financial world made sense.
Banks were safe. Ledgers were closed.
Settlement took 3 days.

But I was living a double life.
After my 9-to-5, I was obsessed with a different kind of ledger.

I watched XRP and XLM settle transactions in seconds.
I saw a technology that could erase the middleman tax of the entire global economy.

But I also saw the ugly side.
I got rug pulled.
I lost money on projects that vanished overnight.
I saw user interfaces so complex they looked like alien code.

I analyzed the data (my auditor brain couldn't help it).
I found 3 critical barriers stopping mass adoption:

1. UX Complexity: You needed a PhD to use a wallet.

2. Volatility: People were terrified of -20% days.

3. Custody Fear: Losing your seed phrase meant losing your life savings.

Most people looked at crypto and saw a casino.
I looked at the inefficiency of traditional finance and saw a ticking time bomb.

I realized the world didn't need another coin.
It needed a bridge.

I decided to build it.
But first, I had to convince the biggest skeptic I knew.

No alternative text description for this image

Let us stop confusing “Blockchain” with “Crypto.”

For a long time (before 2018), I was a skeptic. Every time I heard the word blockchain, I thought of volatile coins and overnight scams. I avoided the topic because the noise was too loud.

But then I looked under the hood at 𝗗𝗟𝗧 (𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆).

DLT is not a currency. It is infrastructure. It is the "Digital Concrete" we are using at Project Divido, to rebuild how real estate works in Egypt.

Here is why this technology is the ultimate safety net for your wealth:

𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 "𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗮𝘅"
In traditional real estate, you pay a "trust tax." You pay layers of middlemen to verify that a piece of paper is real. DLT removes that cost. The ledger verifies itself. It is faster, cheaper, and impossible to manipulate.

𝟮. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱
Once a fractional share of a property is recorded on the ledger, it cannot be deleted or lost in a physical archive. It is a permanent record of your ownership that is secured by math, not by a filing cabinet.

𝟯. 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
This technology is the reason we can break a massive commercial building into tiny, manageable units. It is the engine that allows you to build a 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼 across multiple locations with the same capital you used to spend on one single down payment.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲:

The world is moving away from trusting people and toward trusting systems. In 2026, the most secure investments will not be the ones with the thickest paper contracts. They will be the ones built on the most secure ledgers.

We are not just changing how you buy property. We are changing how you secure your future.

𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲?

Most RWA projects fail at Regulation/Compliance. We build for it. Founder @ ProjectDivido | Democratizing Real Estate through AI & Blockchain | Transforming Illiquid Assets into Digital Opportunities. (Bridge Builder)

People are panic-buying Mac Minis to run Clawdbot. 🦞 

They think it is just a coding assistant.

They are missing the bigger picture. This is the death of the Property Manager.

I spent the weekend analyzing this Agentic AI shift.

If you haven't seen it: Clawdbot isn't a chatbot. It is an agent. It has hands. It can negotiate a car purchase, file taxes, and navigate complex bureaucracy without you.

Here is why I am paying attention:

Real Estate has always had a Headache Tax.

You buy the asset, but you pay for the friction:
• 6-10% of rent goes to a property manager.
• 20+ hours a year goes to chasing maintenance and contracts.
• Stress goes to you when the pipe bursts at 3 AM.

We are moving toward the Self-Driving Asset.

When you combine Blockchain Settlement (what we build at Project Divido) with AI Agents (like Clawdbot), the math changes:

1. Zero-Cost Operations:
An AI agent can handle tenant screening, rent collection, and maintenance dispatch for $0. The Manager Fee evaporates.

2. Instant Compliance:
Smart contracts handle the ownership transfer. AI agents handle the government filing. The Legal Drag disappears.

3. Pure Yield:
When you remove the human friction from the P&L, your Net Operating Income (NOI) goes up.

I am betting on a future where your Real Estate portfolio runs itself.

We build the base for the ownership. The robots are building the rails for the management.

The Passive in Passive Income is finally about to be real.

Question: What is the first boring task you would hand off to an AI agent today? 👇

I voluntarily locked myself in an apartment with a COVID-positive skeptic (my best friend) for 14 days.

I never caught the Virus.
But he caught the Vision.

It was early 2020. The world was shutting down.
My best friend owned and managed a traditional hedge fund.
To him, I wasn't a visionary. I was a gambler.
He told me crypto was a scam. A casino. A ticking time bomb.

Then he tested positive.
Mandatory isolation. No exit. No visitors.
I saw a window that would never open again.

I packed a bag.
I moved into his apartment.
I told him: "I am going to be your nurse. But you are going to be a listner."

For the next two weeks, we didn't watch Netflix.
We went to war over the future of money.

The 14-Day Siege:

Days 1-3: The Wall
He attacked the volatility.
"Look at the charts, Nadeem. It drops 20% in a day. You can't build a financial system on this."
He was looking at price. I needed him to look at the plumbing.

Days 4-6: The Pivot
I stopped showing him candles. I started showing him code.
I broke down Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).
I explained how blocks are actually validated.
I explained why a "trustless" system is actually the most trusted.
He stopped arguing. He started listening.

Day 7: The Kill Shot
I told him to take out his phone.
"Download MetaMask."
I sent him a small amount of XRP & ADA.
It settled in seconds.

I looked him in the eye and asked the question that won the war:
"How long does it take your hedge fund to settle a cross-border trade?"

He hesitated.
"T+3 days."

Day 10: The Conversion
The math was undeniable.
He realized that while he was waiting 3 days for a bank to clear a wire, I was moving value across the world in 4 seconds.
He wasn't looking at a scam anymore. He was looking at the death of the middleman.

Day 14: The Exit
We tested negative for COVID.
But we were positive on Project Nexus.

We didn't go to VCs. We didn't create a pitch deck.
We went to build an army.
We needed a CTO, a Marketing Lead, a Sales Lead, and a Head of Crypto.

I didn't use a recruiter.
I opened my personal network and called the 5 sharpest minds I knew.
I told them: "We are building the bridge between traditional finance and blockchain."

We formed a founding team of 6.
We had no funding.
We had no product.
We just had 6 brains and mostly empty pockets.

On an honest note most of the bootstrapping came from my best friend. 

We bootstrapped for the next 8 months.
We paid for everything ourselves.
We thought the hard part was convincing the skeptics.

We were wrong.
The hard part wasn't the pitch.
It was the $350,000 mistake we were about to make.

#FounderStories #TheUnfilteredFiles #Blockchain #Bootstrapping #Divido

Real estate in Egypt has a massive gatekeeping problem.

For decades, the entry fee to this asset class has been impossible for 90% of the population.

You either had 5 million EGP in cash, or you sat on the sidelines.

I used to think this was just how the market works.

I was wrong.

It wasn’t a market rule. It was a technology failure.

The old model relied on selling whole units because splitting them up was a logistical nightmare. Paper deeds, physical signatures, endless bureaucracy.

But DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) just killed that excuse.

We are entering the era of the Small Ticket Investor.

Here is what changes when you digitize the asset:

1. The Minimum Drops Drastically
We aren't talking about 5 million EGP anymore. We are talking about entering the market with tickets as low as 25K EGP. The gatekeepers are gone.

2. Liquidity Returns
In the old world, selling meant finding a buyer for the whole apartment. In the new world, you sell your shares on a secondary market instantly.

3. True Diversification
Instead of sinking your life savings into one unit in New Cairo, you can split that same capital across ten different high-yield assets.

This isn't just tech for tech's sake.

This is about unlocking wealth creation for a generation that has been priced out.

The Tactical Takeaway:
Stop looking at the price of the unit. Start looking at the price of the entry.

If you are waiting to save millions before you start investing in real estate, you are playing by rules that are about to expire.

The walls are coming down. Are you ready to walk through?

Project Divido

 

#RealEstate #Fractionalization #PropTech #Divido #Egypt #InvestSmart #RWA

Most people think Real Estate is Passive Income.

It isn’t.

It is a part-time job that costs you 5+ Million EGP to start.

I used to believe the buy and chill myth too. Until I looked at the actual workload of a traditional landlord.

I call this the Headache Tax.

If you buy a whole unit today, you aren't just an investor. You are a:

• Facility Manager: Dealing with plumbing at 2 AM.

• Debt Collector: Chasing tenants for rent.

• Legal Expert: Navigating contracts and disputes.

That is not passive. That is a second job.
The old model forced you to trade your Time for Yield.

But we are seeing a massive shift in 2026.
Tokenization and Fractionalization didn't just lower the price of entry. They deleted the "Headache Tax."

When you digitize the asset, the math changes:

1. True Passivity:
Smart contracts handle the distribution. You don't chase payments; the code does.

2. Zero Maintenance:
You own the value, not the leaking faucet. The operational friction is removed from your plate.

3. Liquidity:
Tired of the asset? You don't need 6 months to sell. You exit on the secondary market.
We are moving from Landlords to Pure Investors.

Stop buying yourself a second job. Start buying the asset class.

Question for the landlords here: What’s the worst 2 AM phone call you’ve ever received? 👇



#RealEstate #PassiveIncome #Divido #PropTech #Investing #Egypt

I used to think "free value" was just a polite way of saying you were too scared to ask for the sale.

I was wrong.

In 2026, the "Hard Sell" isn't just annoying, it’s invisible. Our brains have developed a subconscious filter for anyone who leads with an ask before they lead with an insight.

If you’re a founder waiting for a Series A to "start being an authority," you’ve already lost the lead.

Trust isn't a byproduct of a good product. It’s the currency that funds the product.

Here is how the smartest startups are actually winning right now:

1. They provide a "Minimum Viable Transformation" - Most founders treat LinkedIn like a digital brochure. The greats treat it like a laboratory. If your post solves one small, nagging problem for a partner before they even get on a Zoom call, you’ve already won the psychological war.

2. They open the hood - Stop talking about "innovative solutions." No one knows what that means. Talk about the $20,000 mistake you made last Tuesday. Talk about the specific framework you used to cut churn by 12%. Proof beats promises every single time.

3. Generosity is the ultimate power move - When you give away your "secrets" for free, you aren't losing your edge. You are signaling that you have so much insight, you can afford to be the most helpful person in the room.

If you’re still leading with a cold pitch, you’re playing a 2010 game in a 2026 world.

Stop selling. Start proving you’re the person who can actually solve the problem.

The 'Trust Currency' isn't about having a polished PDF or a fancy webinar. It's about showing up and being useful before you’re ever paid to be.

If you’re a founder struggling to get noticed, stop pitching and start helping. The results will follow.

I’ll be in the comments let’s talk about how to make the 'Non-Sell' work for you.

Founder @ProjectDivido | Democratizing Real Estate through AI & Blockchain | FinTech Strategist | Navigating High-Barrier Regulatory Landscapes | Transforming Illiquid Assets into Digital Opportunities (Bridge Builder)

The era of "paper-and-pen" real estate in Egypt just hit a brick wall.

For years, fractional ownership in Egypt was a legal "gray zone." You either owned the whole deed, or you owned a promise on a napkin.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝗥𝗔 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲.

Most people see "regulatory updates" and fall asleep. Smart founders see them and see a goldmine. Here is the 𝗡𝗼-𝗕.𝗦. 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 of what is actually happening with property laws in 2026:

𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 "𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗽"
The FRA is finally recognizing DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) as a valid way to record ownership. This means "Tokenization" isn't just a tech buzzword anymore; it’s a legally backed reality. If it’s on the ledger, it’s yours.

𝟮. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗗 (𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗻)
Every square meter in the New Administrative Capital and beyond is getting a digital identity. You can’t "double-sell" a tokenized asset. The transparency that was missing for 50 years is being built in 48 hours.

𝟯. 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹-𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆
The new laws are specifically designed to protect the "retail investor." You no longer need 5 million EGP to enter the game. You need a smartphone and a regulated platform like Project Divido.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗺 𝗜 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀?

Because Egypt is currently the hottest "Real World Asset" (RWA) market in the MENA region. While the world was looking at crypto coins, we were building the infrastructure to put the Nile on the blockchain.

𝗠𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲: Regulation isn't a "restriction", it’s the green light the big money has been waiting for. The "Smart Money" isn't waiting for the laws to be 10 years old. They are moving now, while the ink is still wet.

If you’re still holding 100% of your wealth in a single, illiquid apartment, you’re playing a 1990s game.

Financial Regulatory Authority FRA  

#RealEstateEgypt #FRA #Blockchain #ProjectDivido #WealthManagement #PropTech

Umair, is spot on with this 2026 outlook. The reality is that we have moved past the era of pure narrative. Institutional maturity is now the floor and not the ceiling.

I have seen many get caught in the speculative loops of the past. It is a moment of heat when you realize that utility is the only hedge against market consolidation. At Project Divido  we are seeing this play out in the Egyptian real estate market where demand for stable fractionalized assets is outpacing the noise.

The shift is moving from speculative crypto assets to structural liquidity. We are finally seeing the convergence of legal frameworks and DLT infrastructure that makes real property as liquid as data. This outlook confirms that the rails we are building are the new standard for global markets.

Tactical take: Audit your portfolio for settlement velocity. If an asset cannot be moved or settled with the speed of data it will be left behind in the 2026 consolidation. Focus on RWAs with clear legal settlement rails. 🥂

📄 This is another reminder that financial innovation and regulation are converging fast.

What stands out in this piece is the emphasis on structure, accountability and long-term sustainability, rather than short-term experimentation.

A few takeaways that resonate:

🔹 Market design matters as much as technology
🔹 Governance and oversight are becoming core requirements
🔹 Risk management is moving earlier into product design
🔹 Innovation is increasingly expected to operate within clear regulatory boundaries

The broader signal is consistent across markets.
Digital finance is being built to last, not just to move fast.

For anyone operating in fintech, digital assets or capital markets, this shift toward structure and responsibility is shaping what can realistically scale.

Digital Asset Outlook 2026

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗴𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿: 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗥𝗔 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀

Most people are talking about the "what." Let’s talk about the "how."

The recent FRA (Financial Regulatory Authority) updates aren’t just a policy shift; they are the deployment of a new operating system for Egyptian property. For the technically-minded investor, here is the architecture of the shift we are seeing in 2026:

𝟭. 𝗗𝗟𝗧 𝘃𝘀. 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀
The biggest friction in Egyptian Real Estate has always been the "Source of Truth." Legacy registries are prone to human error and latency. By moving toward Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), we are replacing "Human Verification" with "Algorithmic Certainty." Your ownership isn't a line in a book; it’s a cryptographically secured entry.

𝟮. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗪𝗔 (𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁) 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
We are moving past the "Crypto" hype and into the "Utility" phase. At Project Divido, we look at real estate as an RWA stack. Through Smart Contracts, we can automate:

• Rental distribution (no more chasing tenants).

• Compliance (KYC/AML baked into the transaction).

• Secondary market liquidity (exit your position in few days, not months).

𝟯. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗥𝗔
The new regulations are providing the "On-Ramp." By aligning digital asset laws with physical property rights, Egypt is creating a sandbox where code meets the constitution. This is how we attract global institutional capital, by providing a tech stack they actually recognize.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲:
If you aren't looking at the "Technical Legals" of your investments, you’re flying blind. The 2026 market belongs to those who understand that a building is no longer just concrete and glass, it’s a data set.

Are you building your portfolio on a legacy system, or are you ready for the DLT transition?

Let’s discuss the technical implications in the comments.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟭% 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟴/𝟭𝟬 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱.

If you are still following the old "1% Rule" where monthly rent equals 1% of the price, you are investing in the past. In 2026, inflation and market shifts have changed the game.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸: 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝟴% 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘆𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝘂𝘀 𝟭𝟬% 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Anything less is just a place to store cash while it slowly loses value. To hit these numbers consistently, you need to change your approach.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟴/𝟭𝟬 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆:

𝟭. 𝗔𝗜-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮
Stop guessing which neighborhood will boom next. At Project Divido, we use predictive analytics to spot "high-yield pockets" before the rest of the market catches on. Data removes the emotion and leaves you with the ROI.

𝟮. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲
Buying 100% of a mediocre apartment usually means settling for lower yields. Fractional ownership allows you to own a "piece" of premium commercial spaces or high-demand retail units that were previously out of reach.

𝟯. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼
The easiest way to hit the 8/10 rule without taking on massive risk is through a diversified portfolio. Instead of putting all your capital into one single unit, you can spread it across multiple high-performing assets. This ensures your wealth grows even if one specific area slows down.
This is not just about being aggressive. It is about being precise. Your investment capital is your most valuable tool. Do not waste it on outdated metrics.

I am sharing this as a warning to anyone in the UAE considering an internet "upgrade" with du. If you value your time and your professional sanity, do not fall for the trap.

To secure a renewal, du promised me a seamless, same-day transition for my home internet. They guaranteed my service would only be cut once a new installation slot was confirmed. They lied.

My connection was cut on Friday at 1:00 PM. It is now Saturday, and I am still completely offline.

The reality of du "Customer Care":

• The Endless Loop: I have called them over 8 times in less than 24 hours.

• The Wait: On multiple occasions, I was left on hold for over 40+ minutes just to speak with a manager.

• The Incompetence: Despite the long waits, the "management" team is powerless. Their only solution is to "send an email" to a technical team that never responds.

• The Broken Promises: I was told I would receive call-backs "shortly" to confirm appointments. Those calls never happened.

My Advice:

Never fall for the upgrade. It does not matter if they offer you faster speeds or lower costs. If the service does not work and the support is non-existent, it is a massive downgrade to your life and your work.

A provider that leaves its customers stranded for 24+ hours with no timeline for a fix is not a company you can trust.

Here is their company profile, because for some reason I could tag them in my post:

I agree, Zen. AI adoption often fails because companies treat it as a magic pill 💊 rather than a structural overhaul. It is the same mistake we saw with early cloud adoption.

I have watched organizations rush to implement AI tools without fixing their fragmented data first. It is a moment of heat for leadership when they realize they have spent millions to automate bad processes. I learned that you cannot layer intelligence on top of chaos and expect clarity. You just get faster, more expensive chaos.

The reality is that 2026 will be the year of the "AI Reality Check." The market is moving away from the novelty of chat interfaces toward the necessity of autonomous workflows. The proof is in the ROI of companies that rebuilt their operations to be AI-native, rather than those just "adding" AI to a legacy stack.

We are shifting from a world of AI assistants to a world of AI agents that actually own outcomes.

Tactical take: Stop looking for "AI use cases" and start looking for your biggest operational bottlenecks. If a process requires five manual approvals and three different spreadsheets, AI won't fix it. Rebuild the process for a machine to handle, then let the human audit the result. 🥂

Scaling $5M+ ARR Businesses through AI & GTM Systems | Founder + CEO - ZDTS

Hot Take: AI adoption will fail in 2026
↳Not because companies don't want AI
→Companies still can't execute AI rollouts

Everyone wants AI, and they want it right now. 
Very few companies know how to 'operationalize' it. 

The early signals are already very very obvious: 

→97% of enterprise leaders say their company 'uses AI'
→Only >33% have scaled AI across departments
→>66% are still stuck in pilots and experiments
→Just >1% consider their AI adoption 'Mature'
→Only  >6% see ROI within the first year
→75-85% are using AI in some 'capacity' 

Unfortunately, 2026 wont change this by default

It's not budgets or ambition causing the blocker.
↳ It's execution. 

Here's the issues I've seen enterprise teams running into: 

→Leadership has no visibility into what AI is actually doing
→Security blocks most tools before teams can test
→AI experiments never make it into real workflows
→Only a few technical people can build 'anything' 
→Great demos, but nothing goes to production

This is why most AI initiatives stalled in 2025. 

I've said it several times last year, the companies that'll win  in 2026: 
↳Are not the ones who are buying more AI tools
→They're fixing how AI gets adopted internally

To solve this for our enterprise clients, I've looked at every AI Agent Builder. 

Clay, n8n, Zapier, Make etc and non of them where 'enterprise friendly' IMO.

Then I got talking with Ash Samhouri and he's showed us Activepieces.

Since then, I've used Activepieces to fix those exact problems: 

→Turn AI experiments into workflows that run every day
→Connect AI directly to real business systems, not demos
→Run AI continuously in the background, not one-off chats 
→Give leadership real visibility into how AI is used across teams
→Replace manual handoffs with automated approvals and routing
→Allow 'non-technical' teams to build without relying on engineers
→Let security define guardrails instead of blocking experimentation

Because of this, last year I help over 50+ enterprise companies stop 'experimenting with AI. 

And start RUNNING on it. 

Remember: AI will not replace your company. 
→Companies that execute AI better, will.

If you want your organization to adopt AI the right way in 2026, please keep reading. We've already done the hard part. 

In the past year, we built and deployed 150+ enterprise workflows and templates.

They are: 
→Designed to move teams from experimentation to production
→Built to work inside real enterprise environments 

Drop 'AGENT' below and I'll send you access to: 

→Activepieces
→150+ proven enterprise workflows [free]
→Step-by-step guides for rolling AI out safely across teams

I promise you, this is how organizations stop asking: 

"How do we use AI?" 
↳And start answering it with execution.

I did the math on "waiting for the market to cool down." It is ugly.

Everyone says the same thing.

"Prices are too high. I will wait for the bubble to burst."

I ran the numbers for the Egyptian market.

You aren't waiting. You are losing.

Here is the "Tax on Hesitation":

Let's say you have 100,000 EGP sitting in a bank account today. You want to buy, but you hesitate.

Fast forward 12 months.

1. The Asset Price moved up
Real estate in high-demand zones (like New Cairo or Sheikh Zayed) averages 15% to 25% annual appreciation. That property didn't stay still. It got more expensive.

2. Your Purchasing Power went down
Inflation eats cash for breakfast. That 100k is now worth significantly less in real terms.

So you got hit twice.

The gap between "what you have" and "what you need" didn't just stay the same. It got wider.

The Old Problem:

To hedge against this, you needed 5 million EGP to buy a unit immediately. If you didn't have it, you were forced to hold cash and watch it shrink.

The New Reality:

Fractional ownership changes the math entirely.

You don't need to wait for the 5 million.

You can lock in that 100,000 EGP into the asset class today.

Stop saving to invest. Invest to save.

If you are sitting in cash waiting for a "better time," you are fighting a losing battle against math.

The best time to buy real estate was 10 years ago.

The second best time is before your cash loses another 10% of its value.



#RealEstate #Egypt #Inflation #Divido #WealthManagement #InvestSmart

The biggest lie in Real Estate is that it is a Safe Haven.

It isn’t. It is a concrete prison for your money.

If you buy an apartment in Cairo today for 5 Million EGP, you have an asset. But you have zero cash.

Now, imagine you have a medical emergency, a business opportunity, or a market crash next week.

You cannot sell a bathroom to pay for it.

You have to sell the whole unit. And in a slow market, that takes 3 to 6 months.

I call this the Liquidity Trap.

Real Estate has always had a fatal flaw: It is binary. You are either ALL IN In or ALL OUT.

I ran the numbers on the Cost of Illiquidity in Egypt:

• Time to Sell: Average 140+ days.

• Distress Discount: If you need cash fast, you lose 15-25% of the value (some case even more).

• Opportunity Cost: Your capital is frozen while other opportunities (Gold, Stocks, Crypto) fly by.
In 2026, this model is obsolete.

We don't need to trap our wealth in concrete boxes anymore.

This is why I built the fractional model at Project Divido:

1. Precision: You don't sell the house. You sell 5% of your tokens.

2. Speed: You exit on a digital secondary market in minutes, not months.

3. Safety: Your wealth is backed by land, but moves like a stock.

Stop confusing Stability with Inability to Move.

True wealth is having assets that work for you, not assets that trap you.

Question: If you had to sell your biggest asset today, how long would it take you to get the cash? 👇

This post hits home. Josue Valles (MUST READ) 

Most people are invisible because they are too "smart" for their own good. They bury their best ideas under a mountain of jargon and wonder why nobody is buying.

I wasted a lot of time trying to sound sophisticated when I should have been focused on being clear. I realized that complexity is usually just a mask for a lack of confidence in the core offer. It was a hard pill to swallow, but my results only shifted when I started treating communication as a precision tool rather than a creative exercise.

The data is clear: in an era of 8 second attention spans, the "Big Idea" is the only thing that survives the scroll. The 16-Word Sales Letter is not just a book for writers. It is a manual for anyone who needs to move people to action in 2026. If you cannot distill your vision into a single, punchy promise, you are just adding to the noise.

We are moving into a market where "brevity" is the ultimate luxury. The leaders who can say more with less will own the conversation.

Tactical take: Go to your "About" section or your latest pitch deck. Delete every word that does not directly support your one big promise. If it is not a "Hell Yes" for the reader, it is a "No." 🥂

Anyone who communicates ideas for a living should read Made to Stick at least once a year. I distilled the book from 304 pages to 7 principles that changed how I write, think, and sell new ideas:

1. Fight "The Curse of Knowledge"

Once you know something, you can't imagine not knowing it. You subconsciously tune your frequency to "Expert," using jargon and skipping foundational steps. 

To win, write like you are explaining things to your smart but impatient grandmother.

2. Simple: Find the Core

Proverbs survive for centuries because they pack maximum wisdom into minimum words. "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" beats a 500-word essay on risk management. 

Southwest Airlines didn't have a 10-point strategic plan; they had one proverb: "THE low-cost airline." If a decision didn't help them be the low-cost airline (like serving chicken salad), they didn't do it. 

If you can't explain your value prop in one sentence after three beers, it is too complex.

3. Unexpected: Break the "Guessing Machine"

Violate expectations. Instead of "excellent customer service," say "We don't answer emails on weekends because we want our staff to love their lives." Instead of a statistic about safety, show a safety video that gets interrupted. 

4. Concrete: Use "Velcro"

Never say "we offer high-performance solutions." 

Say "our battery saves you 47 minutes of charging time per day." 

The Heaths use the example of the "kidney heist" urban legend. We remember it because it has a bathtub, ice, and a note. It is visceral. Stop selling "solutions" and sell "bathtubs and ice."

5. Credible: The "Sinatra Test"

You don't need a PhD to be credible; you just need to pass the "Sinatra Test": 

If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere.

If you catered a dinner for the White House, you don't need to tell me your food is safe and delicious. The credential speaks for itself. Don't drown people in statistics. Give them one immense, verifiable proof point. "We power the security for the Pentagon" beats a 20-page whitepaper on encryption standards every time.

6. Emotional: The "Mother Teresa" Principle

"If I look at the mass, I will never act. If I look at the one, I will."

Stop trying to get people to care about "the industry" or "the metrics." Make them care about one person. Don't say "We help companies reduce turnover." Say "We help the VP of HR stop dreading exit interviews." 

Lead with the feeling, then justify with the logic.

7. Stories: The Flight Simulator

A great story is a flight simulator for the brain. When you tell a story about how a problem was solved, the listener mentally rehearses that success.

So walk the prospect through the simulation: "Imagine it's Monday morning. You open your laptop. Instead of 50 unread tickets, you see zero. You pour your coffee..." You are letting them "practice" the solution before they’ve even bought it. 

TAKEAWAY

Test your current messaging against these 7 rules.

If it fails half of them, rewrite it.

Ben King 🇬🇧🇦🇪🇧🇭🇸🇦

Deeply agree, Justin. In a 2026 market obsessed with data and proven track records, betting on "raw potential" is the ultimate contrarian move. 

The reality is that resumes are lagging indicators. The real alpha is found in the leading indicators: hunger, adaptability, and character. I have learned that the most successful systems are not built on "perfect hires," but on people who were given a door to open when everyone else saw a wall.

The shift is moving from hiring for what someone did to hiring for what they can solve.

Tactical take: Look for the "outlier" in your team who has the right intent but lacks the legacy experience. Give them a high-stakes micro-project. You will find that loyalty and innovation are highest where the belief was first shown. 🥂

Your success, my mission | CEO @ Polished Carbon | Former CIO $4B company | DEIB ally | Sharing 25 years of hard-won wisdom on people-first leadership + emotional intelligence + self-mastery

98% of successful people share this 1 thing:


Someone who believed in them before they "made it."

Think about that for a moment.

Behind every success story is someone who:

➟ Saw the spark early
➟ Took a chance
➟ Opened a door
➟ Stood up and said "I believe in them"

These people change lives.

Sometimes it's a manager who gives you that first shot at leadership.

Sometimes it's a mentor who says "You can do this" when you're ready to quit.

They see your potential.

Not your resume.
Not your track record.
Just pure, raw potential.

And here's the beautiful thing:

You can be that person for someone else.

Look around your workplace:

Who needs a chance?
Who shows up every day ready to learn?
Who has the right attitude but lacks experience?

Don't wait for others to discover them.

Be the one who says "I see something in you."
Be the one who takes a chance.
Be the one they remember years from now.

Because success isn't just about what you achieve.
It's about who you help achieve their dreams.

Who believed in you? And more importantly...

Who needs you to believe in them today?

Usually, I hesitate to do this. We all get too many notifications as it is. But I am sending these invites because we are building something that I genuinely believe the Egyptian market needs.

This page will not just be "company updates" or boring PR announcements.

We are turning the Project Divido page into a hub for:

- Real-time updates on the Egyptian Real Estate market.

- Deep dives into how DLT is securing property rights.

- First access to the fractional opportunities we are building.

Nikita (Head of Product at X) just killed a $23 billion industry in one tweet.

One small change with APIs, and boom – goodbye InfoFi.

TLDR on InfoFi:
> you post AI slop on X
> get rewarded for yapping (Kaito)
> farm tokens
> projects paying you for creating "vanity metrics"

And guess what happened?

MILLIONS of bots flooded Crypto Twitter.

To the extent that >85% of the activity in web3 became fake.

Now X revised API policies, and it totally nuked InfoFi.

So you can't pitch anymore, "we have social media traction on X" by paying $17.23 infofi prize pool

Imagine what they can do to 99% of wallets, chains, infra, and web3 apps when Nikita announces:

"now X is everything app"

🚨BREAKING: TRUMP INSIDER WITH A 100% WIN RATE JUST GOT FULLY LIQUIDATED

He went all-in and lost $190M in 3 days..

Before that:

> 19 winning trades
> $145M in profit

Likely Barron Trump.

That's exactly how much he reportedly made from crypto in 2025.

Now think about this for a second:

If someone with INSIDER ACCESS, a 100% win rate, and $145M in profits can still get completely wrecked...

What makes you think YOU can beat this game?

Prediction markets. Trading (please no leverage). Memecoins.

Doesn't matter.

This space is heavily manipulated with a bunch of insiders rigging the game.

The casino always wins, not the individual player.

Man, crypto is wiiiiild 🤯

Everyone says "I wish I invested $100 into Bitcoin in 2010."

No, you don't.

You wish you had $2.8B today.

You don't wish you had the stomach to:

- Watch $100 becomes $1.7M and don't sell
- Watch $1.7M become $170k and sit still
- Watch $170k goes to $110M and do nothing
- Watch $110M shrink to $18M and do nothing
- Watch $18M surge to $390M and don't fix profits
- Watch $390M collapse to $85M and do nothing
- Watch $85M become $1.6B and do nothing

... and then it eventually hits $2.8B through this crazy roller coaster.

That's not "holding." That's psychological warfare against yourself.

For 14 years straight.

The person who actually held $100 from 2010 until now?

They're either dead, in prison, or clinically insane.

But all of a sudden, finally $100 becomes $2.8B 

Only then you sell. 

And walk away with $2.8 billion to your name.

Nothing magical, right?

At 18 I thought:
- $15,000 Rolex is cool
- 100,000 followers is cool
- $250,000 Lambo is cool

What I realize now:
- 1 Bitcoin is cooler
- Gym at 10 am on Monday is cooler
- Having a relationship with God is cooler

Funny how success changes.

I just met a guy who turned $600 into $5M in 40 days (no trading)

He vibecoded a prediction market app for streams

Spent like $600 for AWS servers + subscriptions

Took him 40 days to build a FULLY functioning app ready to use

(and this guy wasn't even coding before)

Now the app is worth $5m+

But you know what's crazy?

He asked a couple of development agencies for a quote to build this app...

- team of 7 developers
- 4 months
- $150k

Is what they replied 😂

Guys.. please, develop your bullsh*t barometer (very undervalued skill)

The era of one-person unicorns is officially here

You can build anything by being only one (even not techy) person

Career trajectory you'd like to show your mom

Man, i am tired of web3.

Founders build startups for VCs, PR Outlets, themselves, Taylor Swift, and whoever else... 

But not for the actual consumer.

Narrative won't pump your token forever.

There is no stupid retail left who is buying these scams.

All web3 projects are gonna die.

ROI on KOLs & paid ads & PR is smaller than ever because crypto doesn’t have products.

It only has magic pills that were never supposed to cure you.

Small hope of 100x coin that fades away in 15 mins? Nahhhh.

No consumer = no business = no future.

At the end of the day, the richest people from dotcoms were BUILDERS. 

Those who shipped real products: Amazon, Uber, Netflix, Facebook & 100s of others.

2026 is the time to shift from projects to businesses.

Bitcoin's price today is $60,934.

Wait... what?????

It ACTUALLY costs $60,934 to mine 1 Bitcoin.

And just recently, Bitcoin was trading at $126,000.

You know what it means?

It means that hopium made Bitcoin 2x more expensive than the actual cost.

So whoever says "Bitcoin is fairly valued"...

Go back to school and learn economics 101.

2 things here:
> most people have no idea what they are buying
> we can easily go from $89,000 (today) to $60,934 without big drama

But what if Satoshi wakes up tomorrow?

Or Saylor starts selling?

Guess 12 random words and get $128 billion

Why has nobody done it yet?

Dan Romero (CEO of Farcaster) just showed how to waste $150M building what nobody wants.

Farcaster raised $150M at a $1B valuation.

Just got acquired by Neynar.

Neynar raised $14M... building dev tools FOR Farcaster.

Wait... what?????

The timeline is INSANE:

> 2022: raises $30M from a16z
> 2024: raises $150M from Paradigm at $1B
> 2025: DAUs drop 40%, revenue drops 85%
> 2026: acquired by their own dev tools company

Founders are stepping back. After 5 years.

Dan Romer buys a house and gets a lot of hate for that.

But you know what's wild?

They didn't launch a token.

They didn't shill vaporware.

They actually tried to build something real.

And it still didn't work.

Because nobody cares about "decentralized social media."

Your mom doesn't want to own her data.

She wants to scroll cat videos without thinking.

Decentralization is a feature, not a product.

How to make $107,000,000 in crypto at 19 y/o

Here's a full guide:

> wear Trump last name
> be 19 years old
> be born into a US president's family
> never place a single trade
> never take any risk
> be Barron Trump

But that's just a basic package.

Next up is the exact playbook:

1. Fast cash.

*3 days before the inauguration*

- Convince daddy and mommy to make one post on their X account.
- Launch 2 memecoins attached to their names. ($TRUMP and $MELANIA)
- Extract nearly $350,000,000 in fees & sales from the launch.
- Chill for the rest of your life.

PS.: Trump's paper holdings were >$20 billion from just 2 memecoins.

2. Long-term play.

> Family sets up DT Marks DEFI LLC
> Ownership: Donald Trump 70%, family pool 30%
> Launch World Liberty Financial (WLFI)
> Barron listed as "co-founder"
> DT Marks DEFI LLC receives 22.5B WLFI tokens
> Token sales raise $675M+
> 75% of revenue (after first $15M) goes to the family LLC

Napkin math:

($675M – $15M) × 75% × 10% = ~$49.5M pre-tax

Roughly $38M post-tax.

But wait, there's more:

> WLFI launches stablecoin USD1
> Backed by dollars and Treasuries
> USD1 business valued at ~$880M
> Family owns 38% of holding company

38% × $880M = $334M family equity

Barron's slice? ~$34M

Let's sum it all up.
$38M (WLFI token sales) + $34M (stablecoin equity) + memecoin profits (roughly 10% from $350,000,000) = $107,000,000

Not bad at 19 y/o right?

There are levels to the game.

My 11 y/o brother just vibecoded his first productivity app.

It took him:
- solid 20 hours
- youtube video on how to vibecode
- a couple of mental breakdowns with "I HATEEEEEE AI"
- $0

He plans to launch TikTok shorts to get users into the app.

AI is going to make him 100+ videos.

Strong hooks + triggering visuals + converting CTA.

And trust me, at least 1 video will go viral and bring him hundreds of users.

I mean wowwwww..

We are about to have 15 y/o billionaires building their one-person unicorns.

You literally have zero excuses now.

I’d say TikTok is the most net negative for society.

It combines all 7 sins.

And brings it to the absolute extremes.

Thoughts?

I need to confess my worst professional sin. (i'm not sorry)

Here's what I do before treating anyone seriously:

I usually text them on a weekend and clock their response time.

If it takes more than 3 hours:
- no investments
- no partnerships
- no deals

How can you be serious about your craft but stay OFF on weekends??

Obsessed people don't take days off.

So yes.. I enjoy checking on people by texting on weekends. 

Put me in jail for that.

But guess what? I've been right every single time with this test.

Dedication beats talent.

This guy is Jack Dorsey.

He literally changed social media forever. And maybe money too.

Building in web3? Hit me up in DMs and let's talk!

Here's my 7 predictions for 2026 (my favorite is number 5):

1. No altcoin season, consumer crypto supercycle instead

2. >69% startups won't need VC capital to start

3. Bitcoin hits a new ATH $150k+

4. AI agents replace 70% of ops roles in startups

5. We see a first one-person $1 billion company in web3

6. Privacy, prediction markets/gambling/perps, stablecoins continue to dominate

7. Founder personal brand > company brand 

Anything you'd add?

If you're building in web3, hit me up in DMs and let's talk!

This guy has 2 guesses left until $770,000,000 in Bitcoin completely disappears

> 2011: he makes educational Bitcoin videos
> gets paid in BTC (worth a few thousand dollars back then)
> 2012: forgets his password
> stores it on an IronKey – 10 attempts before permanent lockout
> fails 8 times
> 2 attempts left
> today: that wallet holds $770,000,000

He tried everything:
> hypnosis
> therapy
> meditation
> literally anything to bring his memory back

Nothing worked.

His next move?

Make a deal with hackers.

And ohmygwaddd! One team cracked the IronKey hardware.

They figured out how to use lasers to bypass the hardware entirely. 

It could create an infinite number of unlock attempts. Great deal, right?

But Stefan said no and refused.

He says, "I already shook hands with the other guys."

They cracked IronKey USB, but didn't crack Stefan Thomas (ironically).

So yes... only 2 attempts left before almost $1 billion vanishes forever.

You can protect your wealth with a password.

But you'll never protect it from yourself.

Building in web3? Hit me up in DMs and let's talk!

Quiet founders lose to yelling monkeys.

You ever wondered why dumb ideas raise $10M+ ??

Because every idea is a virus.

You sow ideas in people's minds.

Every idea = belief.

Belief in a certain, somehow better version of the future.

And trust me, it's a very contagious thing that keeps people up at night.

So until the belief is loud, there's no conviction in the public unconsciousness.

Meaning NO demand...

I have a guy with 2,000 followers who raised $4.5M from top VCs.

He is the founder of a very basic DEX (100s of projects like this).

But you know what decision changed everything for him?

Become a yelling monkey.

He would:
- reply to all niche tweets & KOLs 
- ragebait everyone
- tagging investors and sharing his thesis publicly

So VCs were like: "take my money and shut up."

I'm not saying go and shill your "we are building an incredible tech" under every post of Elon Musk.

I'm saying that you should create a demand.

And the best way to do it is to become an attention magnet.

That's your founder funnel. (100x move)

Building cool things in Web3? Let's talk!
