I remember when I first started X (Twitter) back in 2021, and I found spaces, a place where you could talk to anyone in real time, connect, and share your story while you listen to others tell their stories in a meaningful way.

This is where I first heard about what NFTs are (Non-Fungible Tokens), what you could do with them on the blockchain, and how you could build a community around them. I found these NFTs and X spaces intriguing because, as a professional photographer for the last 10 years, I wanted to sell my art digitally.

So I began learning, speaking, and connecting with other NFT artists, even to the point of speaking on their behalf, due to English not being their first language. However, due to personal reasons, I had to take a step back from NFTs and X spaces.

It wasn’t until early 2024, that I began to revisit X spaces, taking them more seriously, and joining my first crypto community, Croginal Cats, on the cronos chain. I became their lead space host, and eventually, a few months later, branching out with my own project, Cro Fam Radio.

Cro Fam Radio’s initial vision was to create a 24 hour space on X to support all #crofam communities that needed the extra push when it came to marketing and promotions. However, as 2025 approached, I saw a much bigger need for marketing and support when it came to all projects on all blockchains.

So in February 2025, I rebranded to Crypto Fam Radio. We launched with a 24-HR “Famathon” Space, declaring ourselves an educational, inclusive hub where builders from any blockchain could showcase their work. “Inclusive, not exclusive” become our mantra.

From there, things took off: a weekly live schedule, a newsletter, project sponsorships, and an ever-growing network of communities on X.

Then, this past Christmas, everything was wiped out by a hacking incident. I pivoted fast, rebuilding our presence on TikTok—find us now at @cryptofamradio.

I share this story as a reminder to myself and to anyone reading: it’s okay to start over. Here’s to fresh beginnings and a fearless new year! 🥂

The "Think Step-by-Step" Magic Phrase.

The Tip: Whenever you ask an AI to solve a complex problem, do a calculation, or logic-based task, add the phrase "Think step-by-step" or "Show your reasoning" to the end of your prompt.

Why it works: AI models use a process called "Chain of Thought" processing. If you just ask for a final answer, the AI might "guess" the next word too quickly and make a mistake. By forcing it to explain its steps, you are essentially giving the AI "scratchpad" space to work through the logic. Research shows this simple phrase can increase the accuracy of AI responses by over 50% for complex tasks!

Bad Prompt: "How many 'R's are in the word Strawberry?" (AI often misses one because it sees tokens, not letters). * Better Prompt: "How many 'R's are in the word Strawberry? Think step-by-step."

Bonus Pro Tip: If the AI gives you a long, rambling answer you don’t like, follow up with: *"Now, summarize that into three bullet points for a beginner."* Would you like a tip on a specific area (like writing, coding, or image generation) for tomorrow?

Celestial Transmission: The Great Aquarian Pluto Stellium

Welcome to the Week That Changes Everything

Buckle up, star seekers. This isn't your average weekly transit report—this is a once-in-a-generation cosmic initiation. Celestial bodies are lining up to receive Pluto's transformational transmission in Aquarius, creating what can only be called a metamorphic portal for humanity's next chapter.

The Procession Begins (January 20)
As the Sun enters Aquarius, it brings Venus hand-in-hand to meet Pluto at 3°. This Venus-Pluto conjunction shatters superficial connections and outdated values.
The Mental Revolution (January 22)
Mercury races into Aquarius and immediately joins the Pluto party. Mercury-Pluto downloads radical new thought patterns—your mind becomes a receiver for collective breakthrough insights.
The Warrior Arrives (January 23-27)
Mars storms into Aquarius on the 23rd, adding fuel to the revolutionary fire when we reach peak activation. This is cosmic rocket fuel for collective action.

What This Means for You:

Expect rapid, irreversible change in how you think, love, act, and identify
Old patterns will feel physically intolerable—your system simply won't run outdated software anymore.
Collective consciousness bleeds into personal experience—you'll feel humanity's transformation in your bones.
Revolutionary ideas arrive fully formed—trust the downloads, even if they seem "impossible".

Remember: Pluto in Aquarius only happens every 248 years. This concentration of personal planets meeting Pluto is even rarer. You're not just living through history—you're actively participating in humanity's upgrade.

The revolution isn't coming. It's here, and it's running through your very DNA.

With starlight and soul,

Steve Strange

Beginning in February, Dew and I will host weekly live sessions for Breaking Into Blockchain Art, focused on helping artists navigate blockchain, NFTs, and real-world utility. MechTotems embodies Breaking Into Blockchain Art, merging on-chain art with real-world utility through tiered video editing services.

MechTotems has been revamped to include a Real-World Asset (RWA) connection tied directly to professional video editing services. Each NFT now functions as a redeemable asset by granting holders access to tiered video editing services, redeemable for any video project of their choice.

Projects like MechTotems reflect a growing shift in blockchain art toward practical utility, storytelling, and cultural impact.
