Peace family - today we are bringing something forward in the container. Every friday we are going to have a win circle. I will start a post sharing a win and then will tag everyone. Please drop your win as a comment in the thread so we can look back over time and always remember all the blessings. One of my best techniques for transmuting limiting thoughts when they have gotten really heavy is to go back and look through my win journal. When I do this it becomes impossible for those thoughts to have any ground to stand on. Because I have the proof of work! So the invitation here is for everyone to share a win below. My win for the week is this - around this recent eclipse I have had the blessing to connect with some friends and family of mine that go back 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 years. In some of these relationships I had to step away to get clear and focus on my inner work. In doing so space was created and I also didnt always communicate clearly what was happening with me. In some instances I ghosted bc I was overwhelmed and my nervous system was in fight or flight. It can be alot to unplug from the matrix and also to un identify with behaviors that dont serve. In these communications I was able to take responsibility and also open doors back up for true friends and family who genuinely care about me and not who they perceive me to be or what I can offer them. So I am celebrating genuine connection and the network of support of people who love and care about me and who I love and care about. Thats my win for the week - looking forward to hearing wins from all those willing to share. @Ryan Sprague @Ryan Laffey @Dawne Allen @Jonah Levy @Sheev Dave @Unity Code @Glen Jessop @Matthew Gibson @Ken Sperry @Denardo Buford @Travis Fleming @Ron Morrett @Gerald Guevara @Jason Gandzjuk @Khepera El @David Dorn @Austin West @Chris Dyer @Mark Lord @Brian Brian @Eston Falley @Michelle Selber @Chris Myco

https://youtu.be/vV7YgnPUxcU?si=YxjwYxTvo7yofaAe Check this video out to learn more about why in his own words he is not creating the tech that the antichrist would use. @Sheev Dave & @Unity Code are 2 people I listen to around the Paypal Mafia, Founders Fund and their influence on the world and tech. They are great to ask questions around it. Also Im dropping some background on him below. Please view this not in the lens of fear but in the lens of awareness of what some people want to do with tech. Who is Peter Thiel - Born in 1967 in Germany; family moved to the US via South Africa and Namibia. Wikipedia+1 - Educated at Stanford (BA & JD). Later worked as a derivatives trader, lawyer, and founded his own ventures. Wikipedia - Co-founded PayPal (with Max Levchin et al.) via Confinity / X.com. Wikipedia+1 - After PayPal was sold to eBay (2002), he went on to found or co-found a number of major entities: - Palantir Technologies — Thiel co-founded Palantir in 2003. Palantir builds software for data integration, analysis, and predictive analytics. It has major contracts with government agencies (CIA, ICE, police, etc.). Critics argue its tracking / predictive policing tools raise concerns about privacy, surveillance, civil liberties. ResearchGate+1 - Founders Fund — Thiel’s venture capital company. Through it, he’s invested in many high-growth / often controversial companies (SpaceX, more). This gives him influence in shaping tech & infrastructure. Business Insider+1 - Political Influence — He has been a major donor and strategist in US politics. Thiel supported Donald Trump, funded political candidates, appears in policy discussions (especially around tech regulation, national security). He often frames his arguments in terms of resisting “soft tyranny,” defending privacy, etc., though critics argue his political engagements may align with surveillance and authoritarian leanings in some contexts. Tech Policy Press+2Business Insider+2 - Ideological Beliefs: - Libertarian / techno-libertarian leanings: less trust in big government, greater trust in technology to solve problems (even sensitive ones).Interest in radical life extension, scientific research aimed at defeating aging or death. MediumSome of his writings and interviews show concern over decline of traditional institutions, cultural stagnation, and the possibility that technology (and elites who control it) will reshape society fundamentally.

1. Ethereum’s Inception - Launch: Ethereum was proposed by Vitalik Buterin in late 2013 and officially launched in July 2015. - Vision: Bitcoin proved blockchain could move digital money. Ethereum expanded the idea: what if a blockchain could also run programs? This gave birth to the concept of the smart contract — self-executing code stored and run on the blockchain. - Initial Use Case: Ethereum created a decentralized “world computer,” where anyone could build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) without relying on centralized servers. 2. How Ethereum Functions Now - Consensus: Originally Proof of Work (like Bitcoin), Ethereum transitioned in September 2022 to Proof of Stake through “The Merge.” Now, validators stake ETH to secure the network instead of miners using energy-intensive computing. - Smart Contracts & dApps: Thousands of decentralized apps run on Ethereum — from decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols like Aave and Uniswap, to NFT marketplaces like OpenSea, to DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations). - Ether (ETH): ETH is both the native currency for transactions and gas (fees) and the asset staked by validators to secure the network. - Scaling: Ethereum itself processes about ~15 transactions per second on Layer 1. Demand far outpaced that, leading to high fees. This is where Layer 2 solutions come in. 3. Ethereum’s Role in the Financial Shift to Web3 - Decentralized Finance (DeFi): Ethereum hosts the largest share of DeFi — lending, borrowing, decentralized exchanges, stablecoins — all outside the traditional banking system. - Programmable Money: With smart contracts, money is no longer just value transfer; it can follow rules, automate trades, distribute rewards, or govern treasuries. - Self-Custody: Ethereum empowers people to hold assets without intermediaries (banks, brokers, or custodians). Wallets + smart contracts = sovereignty over funds. - Tokenization: Beyond ETH, Ethereum powers stablecoins (USDC, DAI), governance tokens, and real-world asset tokenization (e.g., real estate, bonds). - Catalyst for Web3: Ethereum laid the foundation for an ecosystem where identity, ownership, and value exchange are decentralized, breaking reliance on corporate-controlled Web2 models.

Great call this morning! Glad I was able to make it today, as I'm usually working in the mornings when the calls are. Not sure when I'll be able to join again live, but I'm staying tuned. In the call today, I noticed that many people have a moniker they go by. Maybe we have a confluence of people here with very weird parents...? 😂 Creating an alternate identity is something I've seen in the spiritual community (like Dr. Alpert becoming Ram Dass). I've played with it, but haven't found something that deeply lands. For those who use one, how did you come to it and why do you use it? Is there more of a web3 reason for this as well, not just a spiritual one?

Let's get started! I'm based in Colorado Springs, CO. I'm continually stepping into myself more and more. Recently transitioning from 3D jobs into my real callings. I hope to learn and grow with a like-minded community here and integrate the wide range of teachings that are/will be available here. I meditate every day (wouldn't be who I am without it), love to do breathwork, use psychedelics, and surrender to God's way as much as I can manage. Can't wait to be in this community as it unfolds!
