This year in crypto, if I look at it purely in terms of numbers, it has been terrible. Probably the worst year of my entire journey. Bad decisions, expectations that didn’t play out, and a market that shows no mercy. There’s no sugarcoating that part.

But when I lift my eyes from the charts and look at what truly matters, the picture changes completely.

Today, we are almost 25,000 on Square and more than 1,000 on X. Accounts like binance have shared my photos regularly, as well as @Binance Angels , @Binance MENA , and @Binance Poland . That’s not something you can buy or fake. It comes from consistency, passion, and showing up as yourself.

I had the chance to attend Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai. I even crossed paths with @CZ , a moment I’ll always remember. When he showed up at the party, I chose not to approach him for photos. Not out of shyness, but out of empathy. I can imagine how overwhelming it must be to have everyone pulling at you all the time. I’m sure he understands, but for me, respecting that moment felt right.

I shared an after-dinner moment with @Rachel Conlan and Yi He. I helped Richard Teng take the slide at the event. Small, human moments that would have felt unreal to me just a few years ago.

Most importantly, my heart is full.

The Binance Angels program has been pure magic for me. Not because of the logo, the events, or the swag, but because of the people, the trust, the opportunities, and the feeling of truly belonging to something bigger.

So yes, financially, this year was rough. But in terms of community, experiences, and personal growth, it has been incredible.

Thank you for everything.

We keep building.
