0xzhaozhao Digital Traveler Diary Write on the last night in Chiang Mai in 2025 Zhaozhao was the "old leek" who entered the previous bear market, I also met @ 0xqiuqiuu while playing Arbitrum. Time flies by quickly, from early 2023 to the end of 2025 in the blink of an eye. Tonight, with @ 0xqiuqiuu and @ buqi0727 We strolled around the streets of Chiang Mai, eating and drinking together, and talked a lot. —————————————————— Qiuqiu and Buqi chose the "Work To Earn" route for project parties as soon as they entered the circle. However, in China, we started by grooming ourselves, writing content and becoming a blogger all the way, and finally embarked on the path of content creators | self media. —————————————————— The night breeze in Chiang Mai is a bit cool, Just like the current somewhat bearish cryptocurrency market. I have been chatting with many bloggers recently, Everyone's income has hit rock bottom, Many well-known ambassadors of public blockchain projects have suspended their cooperation. In a bull market, we are full all the way, Until now, all kinds of bear markets have been 'under budget', The road ahead seems a bit endless. —————————————————— A friend asked: Does a small account still have the meaning of being a 'content creator'? Of course it makes sense, But the current situation is that, Many middle and tail end bloggers are a bit unable to eat. Especially for tail bloggers like Zhaozhao who are not very social, do not actively seek project partners, and do not support T1 level KOL DAO organizations, In the past, we relied on agencies to reward us for food, but now the overall situation has turned bearish, and many project parties have no budget left, so we can only hehe hehe. But remember, the tide rises and falls, and everything has a cycle. Many of the hair raising bloggers and dog chasing gods from the previous cycle are no longer updated. Why can't you become your own king in the next cycle? —————————————————— The ups and downs from 2023 to 2025 have also made me more aware: Web3 is not a game of instant wealth, but a combination of long-distance running and self iteration. People who are more proactive have more food to eat. I have talked to Enheng before, Enheng's viewpoint can be summarized as follows: I am not proactive enough, I did not run activities well, and I did not have the initiative to 'sell' myself. I talked to Qiuqiu tonight and summarized her viewpoint: Opportunities are fought for by oneself, you are in the corner. How could opportunities come to you proactively? You are not a top blogger You have to be proactive enough to have a chance The night breeze in Chiang Mai woke me up. The year 2025 has come to an end, In 2026, the're nurturing oneself 'model will officially begin. Grok helped me make a future plan: Grok's core suggestion is ① Continue grooming and be deeply involved in the project. ② Enhance English proficiency and pave the way for overseas opportunities. ③ Content iteration, adding video content+digital nomad diary. ④ Building a community. The IP address' 0xzhaozhao ', It is a life project that Zhao himself plans to complete with the rest of his life, The topic is ·Continuously growing and iterating to become a real and better version of oneself. In 2026, continue to move forward and iterate. Continue to live as you truly want to live. Web3 Turnaround Diary: Chiang Mai's Last Night as a Digital Nomad
