seeing so many Indian crypto folks just not coming out of the bubble they have created for themselves. we are so optimistic towards changing technology and much less about changing society. I still wonder why?

I’m forming a closed (whatsapp) group of growth/gtm folks working in Bengaluru. People who are experienced and/or interested in this space and open to network and learn. It’s been a year since I have been in the GTM side of the things and honestly the journey has been crazy and the learnings have been exponential. It was all possible because I was growing and learning among the top folks in this space.

spent time to understand the saga of @ns - @balajis x malaysia - unfold over 72 hours. the pattern is too clean to ignore. - oct 2024: malaysia rolls out kl20, nomad visas, johor sez. balaji moves in - network school turns a half-empty forest city into a 400-person builder campus. rm100m+ invested - jul 10: one day before johor elections, an anonymous account accuses ns of harboring illegal foreigners - jul 14: authorities raid. 266 passports from 40 countries checked. all clear - jul 16: balaji freezes rm500m expansion, asks anwar for an mou - jul 18: he's standing in the delhi cm's office - india is building startup cities the thing is, everyone in this story is behaving rationally. malaysia has real red lines. israeli passport holders are banned. that's not tech-phobia, that's domestic politics every govt answers to. balaji has real leverage. capital is mobile. communities are mobile. jurisdictions compete now whether they like it or not. and here's the part people skip - malaysia didn't just let ns in. it invited them. - anwar's own govt designated forest city a special financial zone - the digital minister visited the ns campus himself - as late as may, officials were discussing expansion with balaji but the invitation was general, not personal. malaysia invited tech. it never signed anything with ns specifically. that's balaji's entire ask now - convert the implicit welcome into a document. the vibe was the contract. and vibes don't survive elections. so both sides just learned the same lesson the hard way - you can't market - an island near singapore - and skip the word malaysia for 2 years, then ask malaysia for an audience - you can't court billion dollar builders with sez perks, then let an anonymous account set your enforcement agenda the network state thesis says communities pick countries like users pick apps. the malaysia episode shows the missing feature: host countries have feelings too. and feelings vote. now everyone's asking if india is next. and yes, the opening is real → delhi just cleared a ₹400cr startup policy → state cms' mentions are full of "build it here" → the talent density is unmatched. the diaspora connection is obvious but honest questions before we celebrate - would ns survive our capital controls? our crypto tax? - our own identity politics, one viral post away from its own mp4p? malaysia didn't lose ns because it lacked incentives. it had the best incentives in asia. it lost the intangible - the feeling of being personally welcome. incentives attract capital - belonging retains it. i'm not here to pick a side. malaysia isn't wrong to defend its sovereignty. balaji isn't wrong to seek certainty. both are doing their jobs. the better way, for any country and any community trying this next - communities: be OF the place, not just IN it. name your host, hire local, respect the red lines before they're tested - countries: if you invite the experiment, write the rules upfront. don't let anonymous accounts run your enforcement - both: clarity before capital. a document beats a vibe nobody won this round. but the playbook for a better version just got written in public. whoever reads it first - kl, delhi, astana, wherever gets the builders. and more importantly, gets to keep them.

Earlier, CJP organizers - Sonam Wangchuk may die in 2 days. Now, the same CJP organizers - Why did the police take Sonam Wangchuk to the hospital? When the Delhi Police arrived to take Sonam Wangchuk to the hospital, not a single CJP organizer was present at the protest site. Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka, Saurav Das, and even Vijeta Dahiya who dances on stage, were all absent. They were elsewhere, staying in their comfort zone. The organizers behind the CJP protest seem so driven by political ambitions that, if they believe Sonam Wangchuk's death could trigger a revolution or advance their political careers, they would rather see him die.

Sonam Wangchuk and Dharmendra Pradhan met over the National Education Policy in 2023. If Dharmendra Pradhan could meet him and have a constructive discussion then, why shouldn't he meet him now? Dialogue is always better than deadlock. It is time for the Education Minister to meet Sonam Wangchuk over the concerns. It is good that the Delhi Police acted on the Delhi High Court's orders, saved Sonam Wangchuk at the right time, and admitted him to the hospital. Why were none of the organizers present at the protest site at that time? The organizers behind the CJP protest seem so driven by political ambitions that, if they believe Sonam Wangchuk's death could trigger a revolution or advance their political careers, they would prefer him to die. They are shameless and can stoop to any level. The CJP protest is a platform for everything except the NEET paper leak. The stage was never given to the students who were affected by the paper leak, nor was it ever given to the parents whose children lost their lives because of the paper leak. Instead, the platform was given to the Islamo-left ecosystem: 1) Arundhati Roy, who believes that Kashmir is not a part of India. 2) Colin Gonsalves, who filed a mercy petition for 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab. 3) Prashant Bhushan, who approached the Supreme Court at midnight to stop the hanging of terrorist Yakub Memon. 4) Nandita Narain, who sang "Bas naam rahega Allah ka" from the CJP stage, a poem by Pakistani poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz. 5) Kunal Kamra, who said from the CJP stage - "Yeh log Sita ke Pati ka naam lekar, Nita ke Pati ka kaam kar rahe hain" (They chant the name of Sita's husband, but they serve Nita's husband.) 6) Prakash Raj, who said from the CJP stage - "They chant Jai Shri Ram, but I will chant Jai Samvidhan". At what point does this even look like a protest against the NEET paper leak? Which of these statements is for NEET students? Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan should have stepped down much earlier, not because of the CJP protest or Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike, but because of accountability. It is not just about the NEET paper leak, but also about one-sided UGC equity regulations and CBSE OSM flaws. These are his failures, and he should take responsibility for them. And today, if such an atmosphere has been created where, on one stage, people who are terrorist sympathizers are present, people who are mocking Hinduism are present, people who are Naxal sympathizers are present, and people who have filed mercy petitions for terrorists and stood in court on their behalf are present, and they are spreading their agenda from the stage in the name of protest, then the CJP organizers are responsible for this. They are fully aware of what they are doing and of the statements being made from the stage. They are so shameless that when the Delhi Police arrived to take Sonam Wangchuk to the hospital, not a single CJP organizer was present at the protest site because they were elsewhere, staying in their comfort zone. They are using Sonam Wangchuk. And if they believe that his death during the hunger strike could benefit their political careers and serve their agenda, they will leave him to die.
