About this episode

In this episode, Jamil Hasan discusses the true meaning of diamond hands in crypto, focusing on standards and purpose rather than just asset holding.

After nine years in crypto, I've learned that diamond hands aren't really about holding an asset. They're about holding a standard. In this solo episode, I explore how lessons learned through bull markets, bear markets, scams, losses, recoveries, and uncertainty have shaped the way I approach authorship, marketing, and building a body of work. Why do some marketers get ignored while others earn my attention? Why is understanding a book different from understanding its metadata? Why am I focused on building a catalog instead of chasing individual launches? And what does conviction actually look like when applied beyond investing? This episode examines patience, standards, alignment, and the difference between people who think in campaigns and people who think in decades. Because after nine years in crypto, I've discovered that diamond hands aren't about price. They're about purpose.
