The strongest ecosystems aren’t built by everyone asking:
“What can I get?”
They’re built by people asking:
“What can I contribute?”
Intern mentality. Builder intentions.
I didn’t pursue an Intern for a free NFT or another title in my bio.
I wanted proximity to smart people, a reason to study DeFi deeper, and an opportunity to contribute to something still being built.
The intern was the invitation.
What I do with it is what matters.
