Jords joins the Insilico Terminal Podcast to talk about his path through crypto, from early trading mistakes and Solana NFTs to Hyperliquid, airdrops, logging off, and coming back when the market looked dead again.
We talked about why he avoids perps, how he became early to Solana NFTs, what made Hyperliquid stand out before the airdrop, why he prefers buying depressed assets over chasing leverage, and how logging off changed his relationship with crypto.
Also covered: missing Trump coin, the joy of missing out, buying when everyone thinks it’s over, BTC/HYPE positioning, crypto cycles, and why contributing to the industry can be a better path than gambling your net worth.
