〈What I Want to Be vs. What I Want to Live For〉
I wrote a retrospective on my 2025 and donated a small amount to charity 🙂
2025 was the most challenging and confusing year of my life. A series of events forced me to think deeply about what I want to do—and how I want to live—over the next few years.
For a long time, I’ve wanted to be “wealthy.” But wealth isn’t the same as simply having a lot of money.
Because of that, work was never just work. It was a tool I used to pursue wealth and meaning in my life. That’s why I never counted down to weekends or waited for holidays—I genuinely enjoyed working.
This year, though, I realized I need to redefine my goals from a different perspective.
I hope you enjoy the article, and I wish you the best of luck in 2026.

Some thoughts:
-Hyperliquid’s unique buyback success led protocols to believe they could replicate the results. However, Hyperliquid had something no one could copy: a clear, direct value loop: protocol usage → fees → 97% buybacks, and until recently they…
