2024: A Roller Coaster Year 🎢 As I reflect on the past year, it’s clear that 2024 was a journey filled with humbling lessons and exciting wins.

Here’s a snapshot of my year: Key Learnings (L’s) 🥲 - Faced challenges building a product in the RWA space due to overlooked regulations. - Struggled to find PMF with a Game Resale marketplace. - Lost funds due to wallet drains (lessons learned about security and greed for airdrops). - Made mistakes in Futures and Options trading (lesson: stick to core strengths). - Realized I should have stayed longer in my previous role for more experience. - Neglected health and sleep, a mistake I won’t repeat.
