As we move towards the finish line of 2024, I want to take a moment to thank....me. That's right, I want to thank me. -I want to thank me for always being a giver and trying to give more than I receive. -I want to thank me for trying to do more right than wrong. -I want to thank me for just being me at all times. -I want to thank me for doing all this hard work. -I want to thank me for having no days off. -I want to thank me for believing in me. -I thank me for working hard everyday. -I want to thank me for never quitting. -I thank me for getting up motivated. Be grateful for yourself. You're the reason why you're successful. You're the reason why you never stop pushing. You're the reason why you're motivated and inspired. It's so easy hating on yourself and beating yourself up. It's much hard celebrating yourself and being grateful for who you are. Take the hard road always. Celebrate yourself. You're amazing. Happy Thursday, LinkedIn.

Just a couple hippies, right? They built a $4 BILLION dollar company after taking mushrooms in the forest The funniest part - it was cartoon monkey pictures The untold story of how BAYC ignited an NFT revolution: This is Gargamel and Gordon Goner Two friends who embarked on a trippy journey in the woods And accidentally birthed a $4 billion empire Let's begin... 2017: Two copywriters in Miami Struggling to pay rent, dreaming of making it big Then came a trip that changed everything Deep in the Florida woods, they had a vision: A members-only club for crypto degenerates Where apes ruled and boredom was a luxury Back in reality, they were broke But they had something more valuable: A crazy idea that wouldn't let them sleep... Then they met Sass and Emperor Tomato Ketchup Two dev wizards who got the vision immediately The team was complete, but the bank accounts weren't Fun fact nobody knows: They almost made the apes turtles One bathroom break changed NFT history forever The launch was a disaster: 12 hours of failed transactions Then suddenly - complete sellout in 24 hours Here's the kicker: They spent their last savings on mint fees No marketing budget, no influencers, just vibes Sometimes the best capital you have is the idea itself You don't need a huge budget or massive cash reserves The secret sauce? They built a world, not just JPEGs Every trait told a story. Every ape had a personality The Bored Ape Yacht Club community starting thriving First 6 months: ? Members-only Discord ? Merch drops that sold out instantly ? Mysterious airdrops But this was just the beginning... Then came the Mutant Ape Yacht Club mint... - 6,000 ETH trading volume in 1 hour - 10,000 mutants created at launch - Floor price 3x'd in 24 hours Instant blue chip status achieved. But the value didn't stop there... Then came the Kennel Club drop Most thought it was just dogs - It was actually a social experiment in community dynamics Sotheby's paired the dogs with apes in a clever auction: The apes netted $24.4 Million. The 101 Kennel dogs did $1.83 Million The bathroom reveal changed everything: -APE coin launch -Otherside metaverse But the real magic was happening behind the scenes.. Their marketing genius? Let the community create the hype It's not about the art, it's about belonging The numbers are insane: ? $2B+ in trading volume ? 6000+ unique holders ? Endless celebrity adopters But that's not the crazy part... The founders still write their own copy Still take team calls from random cafes Still believe in web3's weird magic Still in the trenches like real OGs Remember: Sometimes the biggest companies start with the strangest dreams Deep in those Florida woods, two friends built an empire worth billions, pixel by pixel They changed how we think about digital art forever The real magic? They never stopped believing in the vision Did you ever join the BAYC? Credit: @eyezenhour

BTC ATH doesnt make headlines anymore. Theres no emotional reaction and nobody cares. This is a good thing - This is "only up" territory. There is no shock or awe. Expectation is belief. We know it will break ATH. We dont care. Higher.

The most successful founder network ever: "The PayPal Mafia" They turned a payment startup into a multi-billion dollar empire. Here's their playbook: It started with a bold bet in the late 1990s. Two ambitious startups merged: Confinity and X. Their goal was to revolutionize how money moves around the internet. No one could have predicted what would happen next. The early days were brutal. Fraudsters attacked their systems relentlessly. Regulators breathed down their necks. Competitors like eBay tried to crush them. But this pressure created something extraordinary: A team of founders who refused to quit. 2002: eBay acquired PayPal for $1.5B. Most would've taken the money and retired. Not these guys. They took their winnings and went hunting for bigger opportunities. Much bigger. A 2007 Fortune magazine shoot captured them in gangster attire. The "PayPal Mafia" was born. Take Elon Musk, the most famous member. He could've retired after PayPal. Instead, he bet his entire fortune on two crazy ideas: 1. Electric cars 2. Reusable rockets. Today, he's worth $256B - the world's richest person. But he wasn't alone. Peter Thiel, the "don" of the PayPal Mafia, saw the future differently. He believed big data would transform intelligence gathering. So he built Palantir. Then he made one of the greatest bets in history: The first major investment in Facebook. His net worth? Over $12B today. Reid Hoffman took a different path. He saw the internet would change how professionals connect. LinkedIn was born. Microsoft later bought it for $26.2B. But Reid wasn't done - he went on to back Airbnb and Facebook before anyone believed in them. Now he is worth $2.5 Billion. The talent pool ran deep. Two PayPal engineers, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, went on to create YouTube. PayPal's former CTO Max Levchin founded Affirm. Each venture more ambitious than the last. But their real superpower wasn't individual brilliance. It was their network. When one member invests in a startup, others follow. The data is stunning: Nearly half of Keith Rabois's investments get backed by other Mafia members. For Thiel, it's one-third. They became each other's secret weapons. But here's what truly set them apart: They created a culture of radical innovation at PayPal that they carried forward. Every idea was stress-tested. Every assumption challenged. No one cared about job titles - only the strength of your thinking mattered. This wasn't your typical Silicon Valley culture. They rejected the "move fast and break things" mantra. Instead, they built systematic approaches to innovation. Every failure became a lesson. Every challenge an opportunity to rethink from first principles.

Does LinkedIn even ‘GM’ anymore? Gm LinkedIn! Say it back!

Allegedly, Mr. Beast made over $20M in secret crypto deals 50+ hidden wallets reveal shady deals with influencers like KSI The golden boy of YouTube isn't as clean as you think... A team of onchain sleuths traced Mr. Beast's primary wallet (0x9e6) They found a network of 50+ connected addresses... He's been quietly investing in crypto projects, dumping tokens on fans after promoting them with his massive platform. Key findings from the investigation: ? $11.4M profit from SuperVerse $SUPER ? $4.6M from Ethernity Chain $ERN ? $1.7M from Polychain Monsters $PMON ? $1.3M from Jigstack $STAK ? Multiple other 6-figure exits All while his fans bought the top... The playbook was simple: ? Get pre-sale allocation ? Use brand for marketing ? Transfer tokens to side wallets ? Dump on retail when price peaks Rinse and repeat across multiple projects Take SuperVerse ($SUPER) for example: MrBeast put in $100K, promoted it to fans, then extracted $11.4M through a complex network of wallets His followers weren't so lucky, most are down bad I actually really like SuperVerse too, so this was sad to see The insider network included: ? KSI ? Alex Becker ? Ellio Trades ? Multiple crypto influencers The grift doesn't stop there... They coordinated dumps while publicly promoting the same projects Most shocking: Mr. Beast's "farming wallets" managed by @jaggedsoft These wallets would slowly sell tokens over weeks to avoid crashing prices All this while not disclosing his wallet. Each wallet sent 1% to @jaggedsoft after completing their dumps Projects Mr. Beast promoted that crashed: ? Refinable: -99.96% ? Jigstack: -99.99% ? PlayMetaGods: -99.95% ? MetaWars: -99.86% Notice a pattern? In one case, Mr. Beast sent 14,540 $ERN tokens to Alex Becker worth $91,670 Weeks later, that same position was worth $900,000 Just normal YouTuber things, right? Why this matters: Mr. Beast built his brand on generosity and helping others But behind the scenes, he was dumping tokens on the same fans who support his content The "good guy" image hits different now Full investigation with detailed wallet traces + evidence linked below.
