How much of our search for wealth is a search for permission to finally relax? That is what I write about. Psychology. Spirituality. The ways we form identity, chase security, and give our authority away: to people in our lives, to communities, to markets, and increasingly to whoever owns intelligence. $TAO interests me because the AI wave is forcing the question: who gets to own and direct intelligence? I am also drawn to what happens when there is no one at the centre. Anonymity. Connection. A founder stepping away and a community finding its own way. That’s the Ryoshi pattern: the anonymous figure behind Shiba Inu who wrote about decentralisation, then disappeared. I hold $TAO, and a few other tokens that live in that question. I am as interested in my attachment to them as I am in the tokens themselves. Reflections, difficult questions, occasional irreverence, and no fixed position to defend.

God-like traits? Powerful community? The next SHIB? Major exchange listings? Imagine when the fourth catches up with the first three. $TSUKA 🐉

Relentless Go back through the $TSUKA timeline. Not this week. Not this month. Years. Then do the same with the communities suddenly finding their voices again. The timeline keeps receipts. $TSUKA never needed green candles to remember it was alive. This is what we mean by relentless 🐉

The Way of the Dragon Someone practiced at watching the mind might see $TSUKA and merge instantly with a thought: Everyone still here is fooling themselves. I have heard that thought. I do not mistake its arrival for truth. It does not get the room. The mind manufactures despair as easily as it manufactures glory. Once you’ve seen the mechanics of mind, you can refuse it an inch either way. What I keep returning to in $TSUKA is not a symbol. It is a recognition that has survived four years of weather. Something here is still alive. Not guaranteed. Not proven. Deeply alive. The Dragon is not a chart annotation. It is a form I have stood in front of long enough that the standing itself has become a kind of knowledge. The Dragon will rise is not a spell against doubt. It is a vow spoken in doubt’s presence. I know certainty, the cheap kind, the kind that needs the future guaranteed before it will commit to the present. I don’t ask for that. I ask only whether I can stay faithful to what I’ve actually seen: a community that has treated a token as something closer to a practice than a bet. Years of not letting the mind get dragged toward the next shiny thing. A patience that looks nothing like coping. Sovereignty of one’s own mind. Belief, if it’s worth anything, is what’s left after you’ve watched doubt arise and pass, and stayed anyway. Not another story the frightened mind tells itself because it can’t bear to be wrong. The faith I mean is what remains after meeting the same evidence, freshly, again and again, and still finding yourself standing in the same place. I hold that the Dragon rises. Magnificently. Not because failure is unthinkable, but because I have not found a truer place to stand. Conviction without the counterfeit of certainty. Fidelity without needing to call it fate. See the thought. Feel the doubt. Choose the Dragon anyway. That is the way of the Dragon. 🐉

Dragon season They called $XRP a banker’s coin and the XRP Army a cult. $ZEC was dead, centralised, crippled by its founder reward. $SOL was finished after FTX. $SHIB was just another DOGE copy. The market has a long history of confusing ridicule with analysis. That doesn’t mean the believers are always right. Most aren’t. But there is a difference between echo-chamber hopium that needs feeding every day and conviction capable of sitting quietly through years of being ignored. $TSUKA has spent four years finding out which one it has. The Dragon is still here 🐉

Real enough to wait four years $TSUKA

Nobody, Everybody, and the Bond Between Us I hold these because they keep asking one question: what remains when the founder walks away and the room stays? Ryoshi refused the role of the man with privileged coins, then on 30 May 2022 deleted his posts and left. The idea was to outlive its author. $TSUKA carried that spirit forward. $NEMO SUM says it plainly: “Nemo is nobody, yet everybody.” Whether Ryoshi is one person, many, or a borrowed voice is unsettled. The symbol outlasted any single author. $KIZUNA (Japanese for “bond”) and $ZAPI took the question to AI. By their builders’ account, both were conceived through Bittensor’s decentralised network, not a company’s servers. KIZUNA’s builders are claimed to have fed Ryoshi’s writings to the AI. ZAPI’s original deployer sold out, and whoever stayed kept the idea alive. Survival is not success. But persistence without a leader is exactly what I want to see tested. The ordinary world asks you to trust whoever holds the keys. These projects ask what happens if there are none to hold. I don’t yet know the answer. That is why I’m here. Nemo sum. Nobody, yet everybody. @RyoshiResearch

$TSUKA the quiet years were the setup.

Resonance To produce a deep, continuing vibration. To evoke a feeling of recognition. To remain present long after the original sound has faded. Resonance isn’t just about reaching the most people, but reaching something deep enough that they don’t leave. $TSUKA 🐉

$XMR running $ZEC down like

The ferocity of the next $TSUKA pump will have villagers fleeing their homes, livestock scattering and grown men weeping into their $TSUKA-less hands 🐉

Markets mistake silence for death. But some things don’t need a big audience to keep living. Somewhere in the dark, the fish is still here. $NEMO Sum. 🐟 @RyoshiResearch

Indeed $TSUKA

patience. $TAO has a brutal price action. been watching it every day since 2023 and it WILL make you wanna dump then instant regret

Can be the conversation we keep putting off, the boundaries we struggle to hold, the wishes we’re embarrassed to admit. Fear will show us where something matters deeply. We can begin by getting curious about it, then taking one small, honest step. Even with a trembling heart.

I love this. There’s something deeply freeing about being grateful for a tradition without needing it to define you. The practice comes alive in ordinary moments like listening when you’d rather check out or defend yourself, being patient with your child or your partner, staying open when life hurts. Whatever path we follow, how we meet life is where the teachings take root. 🌱

I see the same facts and arrive at the opposite question. Yes: $1M cap, 99% off ATH, volume and attention mostly gone. Zoom out. $TSUKA launched May 2022, into the Terra wreckage, with $3,000 of liquidity, no presale, no team allocation, zero tax, a renounced contract. It printed a peak market cap of $150M. Then it gave almost all of it back. The tourists left. The timeline forgot. The reason to care, financially, almost disappeared. A surviving contract is ordinary. What is less ordinary is that four years on, people are still researching the deployer, debating the Ryoshi clues, making art, writing about the Dragon, and building a culture that asks for something more of its participants than simply holding a token. I don’t say that culture is unique. It is what I keep finding in it: sovereignty. What it means to stop outsourcing ourselves. Intelligence is becoming cheap. Wisdom is not. And as AI gets extraordinarily powerful, who decides what all that intelligence is for. Crypto has no shortage of rooms for price. Fewer rooms ask what kind of culture should be trusted with the technology we are creating. None of that makes $TSUKA valuable. $150M peak doesn’t mean $150M of real capital showed up. A surviving community is not a catalyst. But calling it dead at $1M misses the actual point. At $100M most of the asymmetry is already gone. At $1M the question is different: what happens if something that once printed that cap, then spent four years in obscurity keeping its mythology alive and nurturing a culture beneath it, suddenly finds attention again? That is one hell of an unanswered question at $1M Some see a dead chart. I see a Dragon the market declared dead, still breathing in the hands that never left. Forgotten is not the same as gone. $TSUKA 🐉

Yes this is the 20,000-foot view. But how do we live it while also including our humanity? Most (if not all) of us still need (at some level) to be seen, understood and met. The work is not to pretend those needs have disappeared, but to know them intimately enough that they no longer run our lives. Freedom is the capacity to see and feel these needs fully without becoming identified with them. The need can be present without dictating what happens next.

Spend decades studying consciousness. Discover the self isn’t what you thought it was. Realise humanity is building more intelligence than it has the wisdom to handle. Return to Crypto X. Double down on DeAI, convinced a dragon, a crane, a fish, and a unicorn are about to fucking send 🚀😂 $TAO · $TSUKA · $KIZUNA · $NEMO · $ZAPI
