seven months ago i quit crypto.
i'd been in the industry for almost a full decade.
and i'm ashamed to admit it took me this long to notice something about the game i was playing.
there are two kinds of games: games with memory and games without.
in a game with memory, what you did yesterday makes today easier.
in a game without, every day starts from zero.
crypto is a game without memory. i know because measuring that was my job.
i started this account at the bottom of the last bear market with zero followers and grew it to 100k+ in under two years.
i wrote educational pieces and quite a few scam investigations that about 150 million people read.
by any normal measure it worked.
the money was good, and i made connections i could never have made any other way.
but investigating scams teaches you something you can't unlearn.
exposing a scammer has no effect. none.
the people i exposed came back months later with new names and bigger scams.
every market remembers. stocks remember enron;
banks remember 2008.
crypto is the exception. it forgets everything.
it runs on attention, and attention resets every morning.
the scammers were selling it. the influencers were selling it. i was selling it too.
that's what a game without memory does.
nothing bad that happens to you there is permanent, and nothing good you build there is either.
most of what crypto produces is sh*t for exactly that reason (with a few exceptions ofc).
so in december i cancelled six figures of booked promos, closed my company, and quit.
(the r3ach guys unwound every deal without a single complaint. in a market with no memory, i'd like that remembered, GOATs.)
people assumed i'd be back in a month.
instead i spent the last half a year building an app.
i won't say what it is yet, except that it isn't crypto. there's no token. it's a product to improve life of ordinary people, and it's the best thing i've ever made.
a game with memory, finally.
i'm posting this because i'm hiring, and i want to fill them from ct.
ct is what you get when you remove credentials from a labor market: the people who rise have nothing going for them except output. that's exactly who i want.
two roles to start: a creator manager and a creative strategist. part time, remote, anonymous is fine, and i pay properly.
full job listings in the next post.
dms open.
with love, Pix.
