Spiritual awakening happens when you discover an anchor sitting inside, which was calling you for a long time, but you were too busy finding an anchor in the external reality - where you meet people who posed like anchors, but they are just here to give you attention as long as you fulfill their desires.
Happy 10th Birthday, Ethereum!
Fun fact: Back in early December 2016, Someone spotted @VitalikButerin at an Indian wedding dinner while ETH was still trading below $10.

Things will never go exactly as you imagine - especially in crypto. The more you try to predict every move, the more likely you are to fall.
To cope with reality, we bitch, booze, dope, ape, and fap... inviting mental destruction in the process, which always seemed like “great pleasure” in the early stages, until one day you reflect and realize how foolish you were - that’s when you seek transformation.
When your perceived social standing on the ever-expanding spectrum of the internet economy meets high efforts to raise the bar, you end up getting all the success you want.
But when those efforts are bare minimum, and you have no patience and grit in you, you end up getting burned out mentally, financially, and emotionally - while growing an ignorance that makes sure you never reach your highest potential.
Thoughts on wisdom posting (long read)
When you attain wisdom, you feel like sharing it with people around you to save them from the mistakes you’ve made in the past, so they could probably reach a better stage in life. And that’s a very human act. It’s a selfless act of helping people do better in life.
But the state you’re in while you’re holding that wisdom vs the state the other person is in - with the craving to seek those paths that look more interesting according to the worldview processed by their senses - is kinda completely opposite to each other.
It’s like asking someone to resist eating a delicious cake while warning them they might get diabetes. They probably will get diabetes in the long run, but before that, they might go through a series of short-term joys from eating that cake.
That’s what matters to the mind, as the same mind thinks you’ve got no predictability on life, so why miss out on those joys while you have a chance?
And if you look at that perspective from nature’s end, it makes sense to indulge in materialistic pleasures - but only if those pleasure sessions don’t push you into a state where suffering becomes unbearable at some point. And when that happens, you wish to go back and never have played along with those cravings.
But now you can’t do that, so you ask others to avoid that path. Still, your timeline unfolded its own way. You might have had people sharing the same wisdom when you were committing those mistakes, but you never listened - so how can you expect others to operate differently?
So it’s better not to push people. But you can always share the wisdom and let it reach the seeker who is experiencing a certain setback from those cravings, and now they are looking for redemption. Your words could help them redeem their purity.
It could help them be positive. It could help them move on. It could help them push ahead in life. And that’s when your wisdom finds its true place - even if it’s a single heart that receives it as a whole.
i went through a deep transformation a year ago.
i thought it was temporary, but it was not.
and now i can’t think about going back to the wasted life i was living in. my wasted life might look like a dream life to many of you, and without meaning, any life with access to resources is actually wasted. you only realize that when you wake up, not before that.
there are some adversities attached to it, but they don’t bother me anymore.
all i want is to serve in whatever ways possible.
that’s what i’ve been trying to do through writing for the past 12 months, and i'm gonna double down on that more.
writing books and movie scripts is my next phase of life.
along with scaling more social initiatives around mental health and skill education for underprivileged kids in the future.
if you serious about making gains in this bull cycle than you need to find a trench, make bonds with brothers, and GRIND together.
no other way if you thinking to make some life changing gains in this cycle.
we're at the last stage of this cycle, so make the best out of it.
no one could help you better than yourself, please stop looking for spoon feed, it might look like a nectar from the short sight which is very much dominated by greed and desperation but it would turn out to be a poison which will make your life a hell for next few years, and it's super hard to bounce back once you dragged down to hell, so don't give the market a chance to push you down while you getting trapped in an illusion of 'CT being right'.
When the mind gets a choice, it won’t let you choose discomfort over comfort.
The mind is short-sighted.
Basically, it doesn’t want to attend to the discomfort in the short timeframe - even if that discomfort is temporary and capable of providing comfort in a much longer timeframe.
But that could change when the intellect convinces the mind about the long-term potential reward that’s hidden behind the current outlook of short-term discomfort.
The mind will ignore the intellect as long as it's not convinced, as long as it doesn’t receive familiar signals from the collective consciousness to validate the incoming request from the intellect.
When the intellect has enough reasoning, it can process signals from that same collective consciousness and present them to the mind, which it can instantly validate and then agree to what the intellect is suggesting.
In that case, the first layer of ignorance can be broken.
And when ignorance is broken, the intellect gets a chance to break more layers and go deeper into the discovery of the self - where true knowledge finds its place without needing any external reasoning derived from collective consciousness.

$GP was one of the best performer in past 30 days.
40x..
now the question is what catalyst drove that price growth?
"Buyback and Burn"
that means there is a growing collective consensus on "Buyback and burn" being a great utility for token, and that is also pushing the price higher.
but only when the expected targets around "buyback and burn" should go incremental, and there should be clear evidence of growth from the protocol on demand metrics like "fees/revenue" which indicates growing buyback and burn demand.
protocols with growing fees trend which have "Buyback and burn" utility might capture the attention of the collective which have concluded in their mind that this is the only thing which would drive price now.
now its your time to study:
Cash Cows with Buy Back and Burn.
$ENA flywheel became more appealing with buyback with 8% supply target, and PCV launch.
when you learn about opportunities available to fast-track your career, you wonder why take the slow route at all.
it all starts to make sense only when you're truly ready to invest the kind of effort required to ride that fast lane.
you have to lock in mentally and emotionally, leaving no space for distractions that break your flow. without flow, you can't move fast.
you can't produce meaningful outcomes. and when your outcomes aren’t relatively great, the value you attract will always fall short of what you aimed for.
most people don’t try deep enough.
they attempt the journey while still feeding their distractions, and then complain when nothing seems to work.
they blame everything except their own divided focus.
that illusion of being right, especially when your actions constantly pull you away from the path you claim to walk, is dangerous enough to keep you numb and helpless for the longest stretch of your life.
the new money trap..
true meditation isn’t supposed to be a relaxed state.
it’s an intensely active one.
what most people are seeking through meditation is actually a kind of numbness - and that’s completely off track.
you can’t access the true state of meditation without first purifying your mind.
and that purification doesn’t come from sitting quietly.
it comes through selfless action, devotion, and inner discipline.
yes, it takes time.
so the next time you think about meditation, don’t look at it as a relaxation tool.
if you feel relaxed, it’s likely because of the placebo effect created by how meditation is portrayed globally.
but that’s not meditation - not in its true form.
you can call it a mindfulness exercise if you want, but don’t confuse it with true meditation.
most who made it big in their 20s had early exposure through family and were already mentally invested in those skills as hobbies during their teens - when their cognitive health was at its peak.
majority of you don’t come from that background.
so stop exhausting yourself chasing outcomes you’re not yet ready to sustain.
instead, invest your time in building the skill that will eventually take you there.
enjoy the process of creating outcomes through real work. value will show up when you’re truly ready to preserve it for the long term.
yes, you might catch some short-term highs along the way. but if you mistake that volatility for success, it won’t take long before it dissolves into vapor - leaving behind a wound that keeps blocking your flow in the future.
and if that happens, you risk becoming someone who only holds onto the memory of making it once - desperately trying to recreate the past, but with none of the fire, focus, or discipline that made it happen in the first place.
lust.
anger..
greed...
you might often find yourself being lustful, angry, and greedy.
and it’s almost impossible to stop because you live in a society that thrives on these three primal instincts.
the world around you constantly feeds your senses with triggers that point toward them.
and on top of that, you already carry them deep within, rooted as desires in your unconscious mind, built from repeated exposure over time.
you’ve faced them again and again, yet somehow haven’t been able to rise above them.
you can’t really transcend these instincts until you free yourself from the grip of your senses. only when you become one with your true self can you enter a deeper space, a space where lust, anger, and greed begin to lose meaning in your life.
you need to manage them.
you need to attend to them consciously.
yes, you might still fall into them unconsciously at times.
but if there is awareness, if there is guilt, if there is resistance, you’re already on the path.
that resistance builds discipline.
and with discipline comes a state where these instincts stop bothering you. the less they bother you, the more clearly you can see them.
and as those emotional triggers lose their grip, your deeper self rises and brings an end to the unconscious patterns that kept chasing them.
DON'T LOCK IN...
your mind is getting overwhelmed by the flood of fear, greed, and desire the crypto market throws at you.
you might not achieve anything you expect.
but you’ll surely grow emotions like self-doubt, envy, anger, fear, and greed.
these won’t leave you easily.
they’ll follow you outside the market.
they’ll infect other parts of your life.
even when you think money will solve it, it won’t.
if you don’t take regular sanity breaks, the market will eat away your mental health.
and once that goes down, not even “money” can bring the comfort you once imagined.
that’s the truth we keep hiding from.
accept it.
> do something about it
> take the right actions
> take breaks
don’t let your reactive mind get hijacked by the collective noise pouring out of crypto.
it’s processing far more negativity than it’s built to handle.

the current crypto cycle is fluid.
you need to match that fluidity if you're still hoping for gains.
Spiritual transformation is not something you chase.
It happens spontaneously and silently when your being is ready to receive it.
It doesn’t arrive through effort but through inner ripening. That ripening often occurs during moments of heightened creativity, love, or deep compassion. These are the windows through which grace enters.
Spirituality awakens not as a doctrine but as a deep questioning of life. It calls you to re-examine everything - the life you have lived, the choices you have made, the identity you have worn, and the illusions you have unknowingly served.
When this awakening begins, it often brings pain, not because the truth is harsh but because the lies you believed in begin to fall apart. The ego trembles. The heart aches.
And in that ache, you need support.
Because the mind that once sought success and pleasure now stands naked before the mirror of truth. It cannot survive the journey alone.
You need people, souls who listen without judgment, who help you hold the broken pieces without trying to fix them.
These are not random people. They are part of the architecture of your karmic unfolding.
Everyone you have loved, hurt, or stayed connected with across time plays a role in your evolution. Some will offer healing. Others will offer pain. But all are necessary. All are mirrors.
You are connected to them at a frequency deeper than words, an energetic resonance that cannot be manufactured. When the time comes, you will meet the right ones.
They will appear not in moments of joy but often during the darkest nights, when adversity tries to silence your spirit. They will sit with you in the dark, not to drag you out of it, but to help you realize the light was always inside.
As this deep inner transformation takes root, something profound shifts.
You no longer live for outcomes. You no longer act to prove, gain, or compare. You begin to serve, not as a duty but as an overflowing of being.
You realize everything is divine and divinity is everything.
And in that realization, you stop resisting. You flow like a river, guided by an invisible intelligence. You surrender your personal narratives. You dissolve into the cosmic order.
You find meaning not in achievement but in presence.
And through your presence, you help others awaken too, not by preaching but by embodying freedom. A freedom that whispers it is possible.
You can be whole. You can come home.
$ZORA was a memecoin.
Not anymore.
Now they've got a flywheel:
Creator coins paired against $ZORA,
with solid distribution from the newly launched Base App.
Zora has witnessed a recent rise in key metrics like new creators, returning creators, daily traders, and trade volume.
The spike in these metrics came after the Base App launch.
There are around 5K creators on Zora now. They’re making around $17K daily since the Base App launch.
That’s around $3.4 per creator on average, daily.
If that trend continues, then creators could make $100 every month on average.
But that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.
More creators onboarding would dilute the total reward pool, and some creators will take away most of the pool.
All of this might help Zora gain attention, but in terms of scale, creator coins look interesting in the longer run - only if the Base App goes mainstream from here. And looking at Coinbase’s presence in the USA, that looks possible.
So it’s a great speculative bet here with its own long-term risks.
I’m not sharing any financial advice. I’m not holding $ZORA. I just thought to share some key insights - which I did.
And you can always lose money if you APE BLINDLY.
