Me π¨βπ»
My name is Pierre, 29, frenchie living in Paris π«π·
I am a freelance no-code developer specialized on tools like Bubble and Notion. Passionate golfer ποΈββοΈΒ with a Youtube channel where I talk golf with my best friend and roommate @Lex_Rors πͺ
Also into web3, crypto, NFTs, and Solana π°
Discovery of the Solana Kingdom π
I got introduced to crypto and most of what I learned comes from my lil brother and fellow monke @KemarTiti ππ
Marc (Kemar for some) is a contributor to the Pyth network,Β anΒ oracle specialized in providing low latency financial market data to multiple blockchains.
In November 2021, I went for the first time in Porto to work and spend time with Marc. π΅πΉ
This is the moment he introduced me to this world of crypto that I did not know.
What a whirlwind! I was hooked and wanted moaar!
After creating my first Phantom wallet and Marc sending me a few $SOL, I was ready to play.
SOL was at around 200$ at the time π
He introduced me to protocols like Mango, Drift, Jupiter, Magic Eden, β¦ Dropped some knowledge on me and answered all the questions I had.
I spent the following 12 months buying more, got my first few NFTs like Lifinity, DefiPirates, and some others. Got rugged on a few indeed!
I also let SBF run with all the monies I had in his legit and super performing exchange. A low point for me as I had a decent amount there and had this blind trust for this fraud.
Still, I am fascinated by the space and here for the tech despite my current lack of understanding. I believe blockchain, crypto, nfts and SOL are here to stay!
The next and latest big chapter came under the Christmas tree thanks to a generous Santa π
When gift giving starts, Marc tells me to check my Phantom wallet. What I did find was a clean monke ππ
A community and collection I had heard about and been following. Now I am a proud @MonkeDAO member.
More fueling my desire to enter the ecosystem and learn even more. π₯π₯π₯
2023 is the start of this new chapter π

Writing this will be a great outlet for me to gather and organize my thoughts (a win for me) and valuable for readers I hope (a win for you).
Honesty and transparency only!
