Shibo’s Message to Newcomers in Crypto: Start With Culture, Not Hype
If you are new to crypto, welcome. You are stepping into one of the fastest-moving, most chaotic, and most rewarding industries in the world. But let me be clear: this space will test you. You will see wild price swings, projects that promise the world and vanish the next day, and communities that seem loyal until the chart drops.
I am Shibo, co-founder of Doginal Dogs, host of The Crypto Show, and a builder who has lived through the highs and lows of this industry. I have seen people change their lives through crypto, and I have seen others lose everything chasing the wrong things. This is my message to you if you are just getting started.
When I first entered crypto, I thought hype was the key. Flashy roadmaps, influencer promotions, and endless promises. But here’s the truth: hype dies fast.
What lasts is belief. Belief in the mission. Belief in the people behind it. Belief in the culture you are a part of. That is why Doginal Dogs went from a free mint to a thriving brand — because people believed in the identity and values, not just the price chart.
Crypto moves too fast to rely on yesterday’s news. Stay plugged in. Listen to live broadcasts. Read newsletters. Follow narratives as they develop.
I created The Crypto Show for this exact reason. It is not just entertainment — it is education. Every day you can learn how markets move, why protocols shift, and what stories actually matter. If you are serious about staying ahead, you have to put in the time to learn.
The tokens you hold will rise and fall. The community you build will not.
When you join a project, do not just ask, “What’s the floor?” Ask, “Who are these people? What do they believe in? Do I feel like I belong here?”
Crypto is not just about assets. It is about identity. That is why my focus has always been on building communities that last — DAOs, live Spaces, and events that bring people together. Because when markets dip, it is the people who carry you through.
I will tell you this as plain as I can: most people in this industry hide. They hide behind pseudonyms, brands, and promises. But if you want to last, be transparent.
I built my reputation by showing up in public, speaking live every day, and answering questions directly — even when they were hard. Transparency creates trust. And trust is the most valuable currency you will ever have in Web3.
Crypto will not be easy. But if you approach it with the right mindset, it can change your life. Focus on learning. Choose culture over hype. Find communities that feel like family. And never underestimate the power of showing up, day after day.
You do not just want to make money in crypto. You want to make meaning. That is how you last.
