Building Trust in a Trustless System

You are led to believe that if you build it, they will come. “They” meaning the customers, the community, and the money after what you have built for them. That’s not always the case. Sometimes, or most times, what you build just sits there idle without any sales.

This is where I find most of my frustrations with people who try to become entrepreneurs. The struggle in selling. I don’t like to be sold products or services that I have no interest in at all– distraction marketing. Whereas permission marketing, I’m inviting the audience to experience a story that they can get involved in at a price. Whether that price be with their time, money or energy– everything has a price.

I know good marketing takes time. It takes time to build the momentum, to have top-of-mind awareness, to trust what the product or the service I buy will actually serve me, giving me a reason to care. But sometimes, my impatience gets the better of me.

I launched Crypto Rush last week, and I only got 1 sale. I have over 7k followers on X, over 2k followers on TikTok and a few hundred on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram. Combined I have nearly 10 k on all social media platforms and almost 200 subscribers from this weekly newsletter, which I have spent the last 30 weeks distributing! Now can you understand my frustration? One sale. This is how I know social media marketing is dead. Or, maybe, I’m just doing it all wrong.  

As much as I want AI to do everything, I know it can’t sell. It can give me great ideas and build whatever website I want, but at the end of the day, I still have to put in the work, the time, and the sweat equity in showing up every single day, talking and posting, over and over, about a RWA product that 1 person bought.

Sometimes I want to quit being an entrepreneur. Sure, I love the freedom, but with that freedom comes responsibility. I believe most people on the internet don’t know what they want. But the ones that do will support 110%.

Consistency is key, I keep telling myself. Keep putting in the reps, good content, that gives people a reason to care, to buy, and to support. Hitting the pain points of the customer is key. The emotional labor I put into serving others is paramount to my success. And one day, I may get sale #2.

Astro Crypto: Beyond Stars

The Week of Sacred Wounds and Revolutionary Love
March 25-30: When Venus Dances with Discord

The Cosmos Prepares a Healing Crisis

This week, the universe orchestrates a profound passage through the heart's deepest wounds toward its most revolutionary potential. Pay attention, what unfolds now sets the stage for April's fated confrontations.

Wednesday, March 25: Sun Sextile Pluto
The week opens with the Sun harmonizing with Pluto, our conscious self shaking hands with the powerful transformer.
This supportive aspect offers:
Laser clarity about what needs to die for you to truly live,
Personal power flowing naturally, without force,
The courage to look directly at your shadows and smile,
A preview of the deeper work Venus will soon demand.

Thursday, March 26: THE CRITICAL MOMENT
Venus Conjuncts Both Chiron and Eris in Aries

This is the week's volcanic heart. Venus (love, values, relationships) simultaneously meets:

Chiron: The Wounded Healer, exposing where love has hurt us most
Eris: The Goddess of Discord, who throws golden apples into peaceful gardens
Together in warrior Aries, this creates a SACRED DISRUPTION in matters of the heart.
Expect:
Old relationship wounds splitting wide open to finally heal properly,
The feminine rising in rage against what has been tolerated too long,
Discord that serves divine purpose breaking false peace,
The realization that your wounds ARE your revolutionary power.
This isn't destruction, it's the necessary chaos before rebirth.

Friday, March 27: Saturn Sextile Pluto
Reality supports transformation.
Saturn and Pluto harmonizing means:
The structures you're building can handle deep transformation.
Long-term commitments to change receive cosmic support.
What you destroy stays destroyed; what you build has staying power.
The revolution gets practical application.

Saturday, March 29: Juno Enters Aquarius
Juno, asteroid of sacred partnership and soul contracts, enters revolutionary Aquarius.
Relationships suddenly require:
Freedom within commitment,
Innovation over tradition,
Equality as non-negotiable,
Partners who support your revolution, not suppress it.

Sunday, March 30: Venus Comes Home to Taurus
After her trial by fire with Chiron-Eris, Venus enters her home sign of Taurus.
She's different now, scarred but stronger, seeking:
Sensual healing after spiritual surgery,
Values rooted in earth, not illusion,
Relationships that offer genuine security,
The peace that comes AFTER the storm, not before it,

The Fated Warning: Early April's Venus-Pluto Square

Here's why this week matters: Venus in Taurus will soon square Pluto in Aquarius, a FATED CONFRONTATION between:
Personal values vs. collective transformation
Comfort vs. revolution
What you want to keep vs. what must die
The Chiron-Eris conjunction this week is preparing you for that square. You're being shown your wounds NOW so you have power THEN.

The Week's Medicine:

Let the Sun-Pluto sextile illuminate what needs transformation.
Allow Venus-Chiron-Eris to break your heart OPEN, not shut it.
Use Saturn-Pluto to build from the ruins.
Let Juno in Aquarius rewrite your relationship contracts.
Ground into Venus in Taurus, knowing the storm isn't over.

Your Sacred Assignment:
This week isn't about maintaining peace. It's about necessary disruption that leads to authentic healing. The wounds that surface with Venus-Chiron-Eris aren't punishments; they're portals to power. What triggers you most profoundly this week reveals exactly where your greatest transformation awaits.

Remember: Discord (Eris) serves the Goddess too. Sometimes love needs to disturb the peace to find the truth.

By week's end, you'll understand: The heart that breaks open becomes spacious enough for revolution.

Through Starlight and Soul,
Steve Strange

BEST AI TIP IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW

Best AI tip in the world right now (the one that improves results the fastest): 

Treat the AI like a brilliant new hire with no context—and give it crystal-clear context + a concrete definition of success (plus a format).

This “one tip” keeps showing up across the best vendor guidance because it’s the highest-leverage variable you control: models can’t read your mind, so output quality tracks input clarity.

Anthropic literally frames it as “a brilliant but very new employee (with amnesia)” and emphasizes giving context and being explicit. 

OpenAI’s prompt best practices say the same thing: be specific and detailed about context, outcome, length, format, style, etc. 

The “do this every time” prompt pattern (copy/paste)

Use this template whenever you want a noticeably better answer:

1) Goal (1 sentence): what you want done  

2) Context: what the AI needs to know to do it well  

3) Success criteria: what “good” looks like (constraints, must-haves, avoid)  

4) Output format: exact structure (bullets/table/JSON), length, tone  

5) Examples (optional but powerful): 1–3 mini input→output examples

Why it works:

- Clear instructions + separation of instructions and content reduces the model guessing what you mean.   

- Context (audience, purpose, where this fits in a workflow) helps the model choose the right level of detail and the right tradeoffs.   

- Examples (“few-shot”) are one of the most reliable ways to steer outputs without fine-tuning.   

A strong “best-tip” prompt you can use immediately

Replace the brackets and send this to any AI:

Prompt

- Task: Draft [what you want].  

- Audience: [who it’s for].  

- Context: [background + what you’ve already tried + what matters].  

- Success criteria:  

  - Must include: [must-have items]  

  - Must avoid: [pitfalls]  

  - Constraints: [time/budget/length/tech limits]  

- Output format: [bullets/table/steps], max [N] words, tone [tone].  

- Quality bar: If anything is ambiguous, make the best assumption and state it explicitly before answering.

This aligns with the “be clear, direct, detailed” rule of thumb from Anthropic and the “be specific about desired context/outcome/format” guidance from OpenAI. 

Two quick upgrades that feel like “cheat codes”

1) Put constraints and format in writing

People often say “keep it short” or “make it a table,” but not in the actual prompt. Vendors consistently recommend explicitly specifying length and format

2) Use examples when the shape matters

If you want a particular structure (e.g., how to label fields, what counts as “an insight”), add 1–2 examples. This is widely recommended as “few-shot.” 

A common misconception (important)

A lot of people think the best tip is “tell it to think step by step.” That’s not reliably true anymore: OpenAI’s reasoning best practices caution that explicit “think step by step” instructions may not help and can sometimes hurt, and instead emphasize being specific about the end goal and constraints. 

If you want the absolute best single-liner to remember

“Write the prompt so a smart coworker could complete the task with zero additional context.”
