I'm the founder of a web3 startup in the middle of fundraising. 90% of Crypto VCs don't even try to pretend they care about you or your product. They let you pitch for 10-15 mins, then ask what other VCs/investors are in the round - and then they just leave the call. Open / Comment

I applied to a crypto hedge fund expecting to learn deal flow calls, conduct research and support in project incubations. But what I got is managing social media channels and making memes. I didn't learn anything from the team and learned more about investing from Crypto Twitter. Open / Comment

I’ve started an NFT collection with the intent to rug it and run away with the money. Now I fell in love with the community and I don’t know what to do. The community is strong and looks up to me. Open / Comment

I was a doctor at a semi-prestigious hospital. I loved my job and was convinced I'd do it even if I wasn't paid. I made seven figs from the DeFi bull-run and lost all motivation to work. I quit and now spend my days traveling and fucking around. Never been happier. Open / Comment

I founded a DeFi project a 18 months ago. Things were going well and people were excited. Then our lawyer fancied himself a tech genius and seized control. The project is dying under his incompetent leadership and he's abusing everyone's NDA clause to cover up his screw-ups. Open / Comment

At one stage I had retirement money on the table. I failed to take profit despite the fact I had notes on my desk and my Discord group leaders telling me so. I didn't tell my wife. We could have had the life we dreamed about and I regret it every day Open / Comment

I got a tattoo of a crypto coin logo for marketing purposes and was paid approx 15k USD at the time. I made a video that never saw the light of day. Sold up of course, and now have the tattoo on my ass. I'd do it again too. Open / Comment

I'm in the prime of my life. Living the dream of working as a dev on cool DeFi stuff. Feeling totally apathetic. Guess this is a quarter-life crisis in the works. Family in the rat race, see exploits and wonder if I should have just stolen someone else's money. Open / Comment

I am 23 years old and living in Dubai. I left California last year to come work for a crypto “trader/YouTuber” and it was mind-blowing to me at first the amount of wealth being thrown around, but now I’m jaded and bored Open / Comment
