On Purpose and Fulfillment 😎
What were you put on this earth to do?
It’s a deep question, but one worth asking yourself. In the end, you can’t take your wealth to the grave. So, how are you using what you have now? Are you an effective steward of your wealth, time, and resources?
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with people from all walks of life. From those just starting out to those with *f-you money*, there’s a recurring theme: wealth alone doesn’t make you fulfilled.
Here’s the hard truth:
- If you’re not content when you have little, you won’t be content when you have a lot. Money doesn’t magically make you content - it amplifies what’s already inside of you, be it emptiness, or contentment.
- If you have flawed habits or a weak character, life-changing wealth won’t fix that. In fact, it usually make things worse.
The real questions to ask yourself are:
- What is my purpose?
- Am I building habits and character that will allow me to be a good steward of the blessings I receive?
- How can I use my resources to leave a lasting impact beyond just accumulating wealth?
- What is my legacy?
IMO, fulfillment doesn’t come from chasing money. It comes from knowing your purpose, building strong values, and living a life that serves something greater than yourself. When you get these right first, wealth becomes a tool, not a trap.

Reflecting on the Journey and the Road Ahead 😐
I've been reflecting on this for a while. Lately, I've been questioning my edge in the market, especially with how fast narratives and news move these days.
I started Kirby Crypto in the wake of the FTX crash. The goal was to help friends who lost money by providing actionable updates and insights, giving them a market edge they might not otherwise have had, thanks to access to various networks and groups.
At that time, I believe this channel helped fill the void left by The Daily Ape. There weren't many curated news aggregators back then, and I purposefully focused on quality - avoiding mentions of irrelevant projects or noise.
Over time, the space has evolved, and we've seen many individuals/projects launch their own channels, making it easier than ever to stay updated.
Here’s a list of channels I regularly follow and recommend:
News Aggregators
• C4: @c4dotgg (Daily News, Updates, Launches, New Projects)
• Delphi: @DelphiDigitalAlerts (DeFi, Infra reads)
• Defillama: @defillama_tg (Occasional roundups, news)
• Chung Daily Note: @chungdailynote (News, Protocols, Airdrops)
Headlines
• Ian's Intel: @iansintel (Automated Feeds)
• Leviathan: @leviathan_news (Headline News)
• One Crypto: @onecryptofeed (One-liners, quick updates)
• Unfolded: @unfolded_defi (DeFi insights)
• Watcher Guru: @WatcherGuru (Crypto & Finance Coverage)
• Infinityhedge: @infinityhedge (Headline News Aggregator)
• Tree News: @TreeNewsFeed (Headline News Aggregator)
• Joe's Crypt: @joescrypt (Trading & Macro)
Reads & Research
• Cookie: @cookiesreads (Research, Reads)
• Mumbles: @cryptomumbles (Narratives, Insights)
• Crypto Goodreads: @cryptogoodreads (Deep Reads)
• Shoal: @shoalresearch (Alpha & Research)
• Kookie Trail: @kookiereads
(Research & Insights)
Want them all in one place? Use this folder - /channel/addlist/AkG_UN1vf4JiOTc1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moving forward
I’m likely pivoting Kirby Crypto to focus more on actionables rather than daily news aggregation, which you can now get from so many sources.
I’ll continue striving to add value through:
• Actionables
• Everything you need to know guides for protocols/events
• Whitelists & Partnerships
• Airdrop and yield farming opportunities
And more!
I’d love to hear your suggestions, feedback, or ideas—feel free to share them below or DM me anytime.
Onwards and upwards 🫡

Kirby Crypto X Steady Teddys WL
Bm & Henlo, as part of trying to add value to all of yall in this group, managed to secure 3 whitelists for the Steady Teddy NFT mint, thanks to a gud fren (you know who you are) 🫡
Steady Teddys are a berachain generative NFT project set to be minting very soon.
Requirements
Follow me on X: x.com/kirbyongeo
Follow teddys on X: https://x.com/steadyteddys
Fill the form: https://forms.gle/wGRfkETkzim9UcRF8
Form will open for 24 hours. Fill the form by 26 Jan, 1800 SGT.
Will shortly pick three addresses and announce the addies chosen.
Spent two weeks with army buddies touching grass and realised a couple of things.
1) "Basic knowledge" isn't basic
In the crypto space, everyone has varying levels of knowledge - there isn't one guidebook that contains all information you need. For example, something as basic as what a crypto wallet is misunderstood by newcomers and even people in the space. (Eg: No, your hardware wallet is not a physical wallet that holds your money, rather, the seedphrase/private keys are all you need to access funds)
2) Crypto nativeness can’t be taught
There’s no school nor institutions to truly understand crypto. The ethos, the lingo, the shared rugs. It’s learned through time and experience in the trenches.
From understanding why DeFi exists, to concepts like PoW/PoS, yield farming strategies, and many others these are things you learn through experience and not a textbook, or through paying for a 2-3 day course.
3) Qualifications
None of us entered this space with a crypto cert(?). Everyone learns along the way. Of course, grifters come along with scam courses, teaching you about the "blockchain", and how to "make money", but they only ever extract value, leaving many with a salty taste in their mouths and never coming back.
4) Concepts second nature to natives and yet terrifying to explain
How do you explain concepts like gas fees, tokenomics, NFTs, airdrop and free monies to normies?
How do you tell them, you send 5,6 figs USD to people you've only met online and yet trust more than some people IRL?
What we consider daily life (swapping tokens on Uniswap, staking for yield, perps), are second nature to us in this space, yet some entirely new concept for so many people out there.
5) The disconnect is real.
Those outside the space still see crypto as a mix of gambling and magic internet money. Not many understand the deep ecosystems, real-world applications, or how value is created and exchanged.
Until society as a whole catches up, the gap between "normies" and the crypto natives will continue to be a challenge we have to bridge, one conversation at a time.
The more I think about it, the more I realize: what natives know is rare. Never underestimate the knowledge and edge you’ve built up just by being here.
Also, truly believe if companies are looking to explore crypto or to look into learning more about the ecosystem, stop looking at CVs, find crypto natives who know what they are doing and can guide your company in navigating this complex industry.
Happy BTC ATH Day 🙏
