In this no-seatbelt-needed ride, I sit down with Alex, better known as Shillin Villian — the self-declared gatekeeper of Web3 and the man who’s either your favorite anti-hero or the guy you blame when your bags go to zero. We dig into the madness of daily Spaces, surviving the backlash, thriving in the beefs, and what it really takes to build (and dodge) the circus that is crypto Twitter. From blind spots in the ecosystem to hard-learned lessons in audience growth, Alex opens up about the wild game of keeping it real in an industry that’s allergic to honesty. Villain or visionary? We’ll let you decide. Oh — and stick around for the lightning round, it’s got teeth.
