The Power Triangle
Today I'm going to tell you about the power triangle.
No, it's not the title of the latest Hunger Games, and certainly not the latest fantasy novel you're going to give your little brother for Christmas.
Your key to unlimited wealth, power and influence.

In the dynamic world of Web3, success hinges on three critical elements:
the PayPal Mafia,
the Fck You Army*,
and the Aristocrats “Ser Status”

Let’s dive into how each of these can catapult your journey to success.
Leverage #1: The PayPal Mafia (Small, Homogeneous and Deviant Groups, aka Founders)
Your Inner Circle of Influence
We all know the story of the notorious PayPal Mafia.

Now you can do the same in your illustrious web3 circles.
Why It Matters: Surrounding yourself with a network of wealthy, intelligent, and dynamic builders can significantly ease your entrepreneurial path.
This elite group offers:
Rapid Funding: Access funding without the need to woo venture capital MDs.
Top Talent: Connect with developers willing to go the extra mile.
Insider Knowledge: Learn the secrets of getting listed on platforms like Binance and securing DAO funding.
Starting Steps:
Create, Don’t Consume: Share your work and results, adding value to others. Authenticity and clarity in your goals are key.
Join Communities: If isolated, join groups like NeoTokyo or BAYC to network effectively.
Excel in Your Field: Stand out with your skills, and you’ll naturally attract business opportunities.
Leverage #2: The F*ck You Army - Harnessing the Power of the Crowd
The Strategy: Leverage the collective energy of the crowd. Successful Web3 projects like $SHIB and $DOGE thrived on this.

How It Works:
Crowdfunding: Present your ideas and let the crowd fund them.
Elon Musk’s Approach: Engage with your followers regularly; this builds a loyal community that supports you through thick and thin.
Building Your Army:
Share Your Vision: Consistently communicate your ideas and goals.
Build Trust: A strong, supportive community can become your most resilient asset.
Leverage #3: The Aristocrats - Attaining “Ser Status”

The Final Frontier: Gaining acceptance into the elite circles of aristocracy in the Web3 space is challenging but rewarding.
How to Break In:
Contribute Significantly: Aristocracy welcomes those who have made impactful contributions.
Build and Grow: If you’ve successfully built your inner circle and community, the doors to aristocracy will eventually open.
In Conclusion:
Each element of the Power Triangle plays a crucial role in your journey.
Start by building your inner circle, grow your community, and then aim for the elite circles.
Remember, the journey is as important as the destination.
Let’s get back to work and make waves in Web3!
