I think it’s finally time for 26 to step into CT. Not to leave home, but to expand it. For a long time, I deliberately stayed away from the wider crypto Twitter culture but within the Core ecosystem. Core has been my home, and I’ve built a lot of my identity, knowledge and community around it. Honestly, I found comfort here. But I’ve started asking myself a different question: What if I take everything I’ve learned from building around Core and bring it to a much bigger audience? Because the truth is, a lot of what I share about Core still stays within our own circle. I know I can do more. There are people in CT who have never seriously looked at Core or heard about it. There are builders, creators, researchers and communities who don't know what is being built here. I believe I can help change that. So I want to step into the wider crypto culture, learn from other ecosystems, build relationships, understand the broader market, and bring more people back to Core. This decision hasn't been easy for me. Some Coretoshis may even wonder: “Why is 26 suddenly stepping into CT?” I understand that. But my commitment to Core hasn't changed. If anything, this is about expanding it. For a long time, I've also had something else on my mind: I genuinely want to work with #CoreDAO. We once joked about me applying for a @Coredao_Org internship during one of my recent space with @DejiaderintoMD and @Moini_Core. But the more I think about it, the more serious I become about it. I don't want to approach that as simply asking for an internship. I want to earn the opportunity. Over the years, I've spent countless hours studying Core, creating educational content, researching the ecosystem, building community, hosting spaces, answering questions and communicating the Core story. Now I want to take that experience to another level. I want to understand the ecosystem from the inside. I want to contribute to Core's growth with the skills I've developed in research, content, community building, education and communication. And I want to put myself in a position where, when an opportunity comes, @Coredao_Org can look at what I've been doing and say: “This person already understands the mission. Let's see what he can build with us.” The internship isn't the destination. It's an opportunity to contribute at a deeper level. So yes, I'm stepping into CT. 60% of my content will remain Core. The other 40% will be the wider crypto culture, other ecosystems, projects and conversations that can help me grow and expand my perspective. Core remains home. CT is simply the city I need to enter. And maybe, just maybe, I'll meet thousands of people there who have never heard the Core story. My job is to tell it. Coretoshis, this next phase is going to be different, your support means more to me than you probably realize. - I'm still 26. - Still building. - Still learning. - Still Coretoshi. - Still studying Core And still very much interested in one day earning a seat at the table. Yes, I really want that #CoreDAO internship. Not because I want the title but because I believe I can contribute. 🔶 #CORE #CoreDAO #BTCFi #Coretoshis
