Murfin (❖,❖)

When Bitcoin is boringly sideways and other people are confused about what to do, you always have a back road. You invite us to work on free testnets, you invite us to hunt for retroactive airdrops, or play in small narratives that aren't yet hyped. You prove that opportunities always exist as long as we know the way. Your creativity in making money in all market conditions is truly a god-level survival skill that you pass on to us.

I met him accidentally in Ritual. Back then, Murfin was the one who frequently replied to my chats.

I met him on Telegram and he's a fun and easy-going person. Even though we've only just met, his conversations are insightful and he's easy to discuss, especially about crypto and alpha.

I got to know him during the zkSync retrodrop era. He was incredibly active, constantly exploring different dApps and staying on-chain. We often exchanged information, especially when he discovered new dApps that weren’t even on my radar yet. The journey from zkSync Lite to mainnet took a long time, but in the end, it felt completely worth it.

My Twitter timeline is full of pollution: paid shills, fake profit boasts, and comment bots. It's suffocating. But your channel is like an oxygen room. You filter out all that dirt, you remove the toxins, and you only give us clean, valid, and nutritious information. My mental and financial health is really maintained because I only breathe fresh air from you.

I really hate being asked to read complicated governance or tokenomics proposal updates. It feels like chewing rocks. But you have amazing cooking skills. You process that heavy material, season it with hangout analogies, and then spoon-feed it to us. Suddenly, I understand where this project is going. You turned me from a blind gambler into an investor who understands the 'taste' and quality of the asset.

When the media was busy sensationalizing 'Crypto Is Dying' news and making retail investors panic sell at low prices, I almost joined the fools and dumped my assets. But I took shelter under the umbrella of your analysis. You dissected the data, you showed that smart money was actually quietly accumulating. Your calm and data-driven analysis protected my assets from the dirty water poured by the media. If it weren't for you, I would have been soaked and freezing from the losses.

I have an impulsive problem, seeing a coin go up a little and immediately wanting to HAKA (Hajar Kanan - all in) without thinking. That's the same as burning money. But you're always patrolling and giving stern warnings: 'Be patient! Wait for the retest! Don't be stupid!'. Your firmness in forbidding me from entering the market carelessly saves my capital from deadly boredom. You protect me from my greatest enemy: myself.

When my portfolio was down 60% during the Bear Market, my friends retired and mocked me. I felt alone. Only in your community did I feel accepted. You didn't judge, you actually embraced. You listened to our vents, you strengthened our mentality to average down at the right point. Your moral support is what kept me from hanging myself (mentally defeated) and still surviving until the current harvest season.

Honestly, man, my hands used to get so itchy if I didn't open a position for even a minute. I was addicted to the thrilling sensation of seeing green and red PnL at 100x leverage. My life was a mess, money gone to donations to the exchange. But you pulled me into mental 'rehab'. You taught me that trading is about probability and patience, not gambling. The detox process from gambling that you implemented was really tough at first, but now I'm so grateful. I'm 'clean' and starting to build real assets.
