My wish for 44 š
To be wiser, more aware, and consciousā¦
Feeling more whole and experiencing less lackā¦
For doors to open in ways I least expectā¦
To be shown my limitationsā¦
Only so I can grow into a greater mindā¦
And a bigger heart that is open and activated.
A mind that is openā¦
To possibilities I never thought of.
May my love for life be greater than any fearā¦
And my love for the unknown be stronger and more trusting than the known.

After chatting with David Yu tonight, my respect for him & his team have skyrocketed.
They're not just launching a business; they're reshaping and shaking up legacy brands, changing how we engage with art, entertainment, education, and finance. It's a colossal undertaking, especially with the hurdles Web3 projects face ā regulatory issues, global challenges, economic complexities. And let's not forget the sky-high expectations set for these pioneers right from the start.
Despite all this, it's clear @veve_official isn't playing the 'hurry up and fail' game. But make no mistake, what they're doing is far from easy.
Thank you @DavidYuNZ for you time and invaluable contribution tonight.

Pressure and discomfort refine us.

Iām Persian. I cherish our culture, our history, like millions who fled the regime in search of freedom.
Yes, we want the regime gone. But the world must ask: At what cost?
Will we stop fueling conflict, or bankroll the beginnings of World War III?
Israelās endgame may be regime change, but itās a global gamble, and it doesnāt guarantee freedom. It guarantees suffering.
It will destabilize the region, cause immense destruction, and drag other nations into something far worse.
My uncles were killed fighting this regime decades ago. And yet, here we are. Still fightingā¦
Still mourning.
Still waiting for the world to see the difference between a people and their oppressors.
We are Persians.
We are not the regime.
And we want peace, not just for ourselves, but for everyone.

Iām not sure how I got here, and it feels surreal to even type this, but here we are. This is 45.
To call myself a digital nomad, building a vision for decentralized media alongside all of you, is more than I could have ever asked for.
This space is not for the weak. It demands resilience, reinvention, and a willingness to walk roads most wouldnāt dare.
But the doors it opens, the people it connects, and the possibilities it unlocks are worth every step.

Dubai does business through relationships, not processes.
You have to understand the culture before you can understand the deal.
Real business here happens through trust, and that takes time.
You have to earn your Emirati relationships.
Those relationships are built through respect, consistency, and genuine intent... not transactions.
Once that trust is there, doors open.

Who was it that said metaverse was dead?
In an epic plot twist, Disney has purchased a $1.5 billion stake in Epic Games to develop a new social universe that will "interoperate" with Fortnite and let fans "play, watch, shop, and engage" with their favorite characters and stories.

Thereās no way anyone can make a move like this leaving everything familiar and stepping into the unknown without guidance. You need a compass.

"Welcome, a billion welcomes to your arrival,
O traveler of my home and homeland.
Happiness fills my house with your presence,
The precious is cheap for your sake.
Iāll treat you with kindness and generosity,
Your eyesā gaze delighted mine.
My Lord has blessed me with your beauty and grace,
You are unmatched in goodness.
Your eloquence, your gentle charm,
Your cheeks and features, roses and orchids.
Your image is that of a heavenly maiden,
My soul finds comfort in your presence.
Youāve brightened my nights and filled my home,
O my sight and light of my eyes.
My heart, my wealth, my being are yours alone,
Your picture lives deep in my soul."

VEVE COLLECTIBLES: WHY OWN THEM? nitter.app/i/broadcasts/1OdKrjnoMā¦

26,015
My WHY
I left traditional media because it stopped telling the truth.
Stories were filtered. Access was gated. Power was only in the hands of platforms and institutions, not the people doing the work or living the reality.
For me, the truth has never been optional. Itās personal.
During the Iranian revolution, two of my uncles were killed for speaking truth to power.
They didnāt have platforms. They had their voices. And they paid the price for using them.
So I came to Web3 to build something they never hadā
A media system that canāt be silenced, canāt be rewritten, and canāt be owned by the few.
This is why Iām here:
To protect the truth.
To democratize the mic.
To build a system where the people telling the stories finally own the story.
And Iām not leaving until the truth is free and the storytellers own the story.
What is your Why?

You're absolutely right! And I'll take it a step further by expressing my thoughts that Iāve held back to share:
Building a startup of this magnitude isnāt something everyone gets. Itās not just about the initial idea; itās about constantly having to re-strategize - be it the direction, the team, or even the core vision. And letās not forget the implications of external factors like the upcoming regulations, global inflation, evolving Web3 tech infrastructure - this isnāt a simple path.
In Web3 and crypto, we all knew the risks when we jumped in. There were never promises of immediate wins. It's always been a choice to stay on or to get off the ship riding the volatile waves. But one thingās clear to me, and I say this as someone with no stake in Veve: Veve isn't in the business of failing. The captain doesn't wake up with a mission to disappoint the world. His dedication, and most likely his surprise at how much people love Veve, only adds to his drive to succeed. So, as an outsider, it's disappointing to see the lack of understanding among the naysayers.
This journey requires the support of those who are in it for more than just immediate winsā¦ and regardless of the outcome, because this path, like any in innovation, holds its own uncertainties.

Who's behind the PFP?
Behind every profile picture, there's a story waiting to be told. What if we replace that unshaved monkey with your actual face? Your face isn't just a photo; it's a badge of authenticity, a symbol of trust. It's the first step in building your brand, your community. It's about making us want more.
Showing your face, that's the game changer. It's the key to building credibility. It makes you real to us, creates a connection. Your face is your brand's ambassador. It's what captures attention in those first 10 seconds. It's the HOOK that makes someone click to learn more.
Your real face, your true identity, it skyrockets your chances of getting that follow, that awaited DM, that next big opportunity. It tells us you're serious, here to connect, to build, to collaborate.
Show your face, anchor your presence!
