I’ve seen a lot of people succeed and fail in crypto. I’ve read a lot and talked to a lot of people. I’ve made some mistakes as well that taught me a lot. I haven’t stopped learning.

Here are 16 lessons that I’ve learned:

1. Crypto is a marathon

The most successful people have been around for years. They stick around in bear markets and accumulate. Crypto isn’t just a get rich quick scheme. It’s a life changing technology that’s going to be around for years to come.

2. Crypto is here to stay

Crypto has the potential to change the world. It might take time for people to come around, but Web3 is the future. Many large companies are have begun to invest in Web3, and there’s a lot of VC involvement.

3. Community is everything

Everything is driven by community in crypto. NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and DeFi protocols would all be worthless without a community to back them. Decentralization is only as strong as the community that backs it.

4. Crypto is ever-changing

The landscape changes quickly and narratives die fast. You have to be able to adapt and think on your feet. There’s no set playbook that you can follow.
