The program I wish I had when starting out. Leveling up yet? 😉 --- #### **LIMITED SLOTS FOR EARLY BELIEVERS** It’s easy to [put off subscribing](https://twitter.com/sassal0x/status/1179781754451705856?s=20) but **you’re running out of time. **I’ve rolled out a program for [Early Believer](#/portal/signup?coupon=36242b21) that gets you: - 20% off the program forever - No interruption in program (the program ends for everyone else Nov 1) - Access to the [Inner Circle](https://bankless.ghost.io/welcome-to-the-inner-circle-wave), [Deals sheet](https://bankless.ghost.io/the-deal-sheet), & [Bonus Content](https://bankless.ghost.io/bonus-content-ama-with-balancer) Everything above for less than couple coffees a month plus Early Believer status. But here’s the thing—if you don’t commit you won’t get this deal. #### Because there are only 500 Early Believer slots It’s not fair to have thousands of Early Believers. Those contributing earliest to the program deserve greater rewards & status. So the [Early Believer](#/portal/signup?coupon=36242b21) deal will only last until one of two things happen: **1) All 500 slots are full** or; **2) November 1st arrives** Whichever comes first. After that the opportunity is gone. If you miss out, you can still subscribe. But never again at 20% off forever—never again as an Early Believer. --- **Lock in your Early Believer Status (only 500 slots)** No program interruption. 20% off forever. Inner Circle, Deals Sheet, Bonus content. Costs less than a coffee per week. Limited slots available. [Get 20% off forever](#/portal/signup)*Note: You can also [pay using ETH, BTC, or USDC](https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/33c9a628-6af7-460e-9e00-c20114f1433d).* --- My hero [Anthony stopped procrastinating](https://twitter.com/sassal0x/status/1179781754451705856?s=20) and finally made the commit yesterday… ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/public/images/154d03d5-47e7-4082-afcd-77a3dc672bd6_1172x512.png)And if you had to pick [just one newsletter program](https://twitter.com/HatariaStanley/status/1177961967635648519?s=20) to commit to…. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/public/images/ddbd329f-1a05-40d1-9fcd-1ccff7dc2b64_1168x526.png) Pick the one with the [obvious ROI like Sean did](https://twitter.com/SeanDoctor/status/1178897659790118912?s=20). ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/public/images/1a9fa463-86a7-4f6f-9e7c-2ebe4426c774_1172x506.png) No other program [quite like it](https://twitter.com/DarehWinston/status/1179073824127479808?s=20)…people sayin’ Bankless is [worth every wei](https://twitter.com/b_slater_/status/1179445481191153664?s=20)… ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/public/images/421305e6-ed41-4a3e-b0a8-9d335d512609_1172x340.png)[Tag me](https://twitter.com/ryansadams) on twitter when you subscribe & I’ll deliver 3 x 🔥.
