@anishmoonka Capitalism is mahd... Very soon there will be something like Premium subscription on Whatsapp

Meta bought WhatsApp 12 years ago for $19 billion. Then it bled them a billion dollars a year for six years straight, a fact that came out in court last year under oath. The app was making about 10 cents per user when Meta bought it. We know that figure because it sat inside Meta's own slide deck the week before the deal closed. WhatsApp's two founders, Jan Koum and Brian Acton, ran the app on a simple motto: "no ads, no games, no gimmicks." It was printed on the office wall. They're both gone now. Acton walked out in 2017 and left roughly $850 million in shares on the table, because he didn't want ads inside the app. Koum followed a year later. The new ads don't appear in your private chats, your group messages, or your calls. Those stay locked the way they always were, and Meta can't read them. The ads are going inside the Updates tab instead, the place with Status and Channels where you see the disappearing photos people post. 1.5 billion people open that tab every day. The new ads sit inside it and look exactly like the ones you scroll past between Instagram Stories. To pick which ad to show you, Meta uses your country, your city, your language, the channels you follow, and the ads you've clicked on before. Morgan Stanley thinks Meta brings in $3 to 5 billion a year from this. A Wall Street firm called Evercore puts it at around $10 billion a year by 2028, if Meta earns about $6 from each daily user. For scale, Meta made $164 billion last year. Almost all of it, $160 billion, came from ads on Facebook and Instagram. WhatsApp's entire revenue was about $1.8 billion. Every dollar of that came from businesses paying to message customers on the app. So the $19 billion bill from 2014 has been sitting on Meta's books for 12 years. WhatsApp now has 3.3 billion users every month. The Updates tab is how Meta finally starts paying that bill back.

MTN has banned borrowing of airtime and data.

@onu_slim Yes oo

If someone showed you a legit side hustle pulling in about $500 between 2am and 6am, would you trade your sleep for it?

One of the most painful experience I have ever felt was when I went to Abuja last month I requested uber from my apartment to get food. Trip cost was 2500 naira. Uber guy arrived and decided to branch filling station to buy fuel before heading to destination… He asked for 5k fuel and I was quite surprised he asked for a fuel that small considering his tank was empty empty. I asked him why so and he said country is hard and he was struggling. So I asked the fuel guys to fill up his tank which cost approx 70k. In addition to that I also gave him 50k as a gift. He told me I should always feel free to contact him if I ever need a ride and I asked if he was free next day cos my flight was for 7am. He said sure. Next day he picked me up and dropped me off and to my greatest suprise man asked me to pay double the fare to airport because ‘he picked me up early’ My life flashed twice. I couldn’t believe what I heard. Humans are ungrateful and tbh everyday I am reminded that the major reason some people are far from their blessings is simply because they are unwilling to make sacrifices or just simply pain greedy. Till today I still have that flashback and I get angry over again when I remember it. Not exactly angry because of the money given because I mean I did so with zero expectation and will do so again and again but because it hurts soo much that said young man just lost a beautiful opportunity to know me better and probably get an opportunity to work with me beyond that day. GREED sealed his fate It is well.

@Szymansk_ii @only_son_twitte Congratulations sir 🎉

She’s here, My Legacy just got 7 pounds cuter, my peanut has arrived safely. I am officially a girl Dad😊 #GirldadForever

Some pastors simply take their audience for fools. You can’t tell they know the people listening to them have no brains. There’s no other explanation.

All major Pi nodes have now been upgraded to version 20.2 and are supporting protocol 20. Pi has also completed the upgrade of its Mainnet blockchain to protocol 20. Protocol 20 provides the foundation to enable smart contract capabilities, and the rollout of smart contracts will occur gradually, prioritizing categories that align with utility-based product innovation and operations. The specific types of smart contracts featured will depend heavily on the needs arising from the utility creation process. Read the Pi Day 2026 blog to learn more about protocol 20 and smart contracts minepi.com/blog/pi-day-20…

@Mr_Jay_Pee Would be great if myself and 19 others could get $25 each Gm

A project wants me to share $500 to my community. How should we share it? $50 to 10 persons Or $25 to 20 persons? I'll pick the decision of the first 5 comments and pick the winners randomly!

Pi Network is excited to announce that second migrations have started and will continue with a gradual rollout, opening the door for Pioneers to bring additional Pi to Mainnet and further participate in the ecosystem! While second migrations roll out, first migrations for eligible Pioneers will continue as normal. To be eligible for migrations, Pioneers must set up Pi Wallet two-factor authentication (2FA) through the Mainnet Checklist Step 3. This may include adding a trusted email address to their accounts if not set up yet. 2FA is enforced before migrations to enhance wallet security because transfers on the blockchain are irreversible and immutable. Second migrations will also include referral mining bonuses attributable to Referral Team members who fully passed KYC. Pioneers should therefore remind their Referral Teams to complete KYC so these bonuses can be migrated.

The initial version of the Pi Launchpad has been released as a Pi App on the Testnet with a test token! Because the Launchpad introduces new concepts for many Pioneers and uses mechanisms that differ from typical token launches in Web3, it is being introduced on Testnet first so the community can become familiar with how the process works before the Mainnet launch. The Launchpad implements the mechanism in Design 1 of the PiRC (github.com/PiNetwork/PiRC) released on the Open Network anniversary. Read more about the Launchpad in the Pi Day 2026 blog minepi.com/blog/pi-day-20…

🚨 Now that the attention of the broader crypto space is back on Pi Network, let's educate everyone on the industry-shifting product coming up on Pi. The Pi Launchpad. The design behind the Launchpad positions Pi Network light years ahead of Ethereum, Solana, BSC & every other chain. It changes the game entirely for crypto. How? While most chains let anyone create a token in minutes — often pure speculation, vaporware apps, pump-and-dump schemes, or quick rugs — the framework for token launch on Pi Launchpad flips the entire script. Pi's new token framework is utility-first and user-acquisition-first. Tokens on Pi aren't designed to raise capital for founders. They're built to power real products and help projects acquire actual users for those products. What exactly makes this framework revolutionary? ✅ Working product required first - The Norm: Launch a roadmap and/or whitepaper, hype on twitter, and raise millions from presales/IDOs — then vanish, or deliver vaporware apps, or slowly rug and fade away. Founders fundraise first, build (maybe) later — if ever. Pi's Framework: No token launch without a functional app already live. You prove your innovation, user traction, and product viability before any token exists. This aligns founders' incentives around actual utility and forces them to deliver value upfront. ✅ Immutable initial liquidity — The Norm: Teams dump pre-mined tokens, rug-pull liquidity, or let whales manipulate price while retail gets wrecked. Pi's Framework: Every Pi committed by participants goes straight into a permanent Liquidity Pool—locked from day one. No team wallets draining funds, no unlock schedules for founders to dump, no rugs possible. Price stability and health are ensured from the start because the pool cannot be exit liquidity for insiders. ✅ Meritocratic & engagement-driven — The Norm: The best price deals go to whales, sniper bots, and early insiders. Real users end up buying high after the initial pump and holding their bags while privileged players exit first. Pi's Framework: Users who actually use and engage with the app get prioritized/better deals during launch. No more bots sniping the pool first, no insider dumps from pre-mined allocations, and no whales gaming the system because the rules prioritize proven utility and genuine user activity. Real adoption and feedback loops now replace capital, speed, and connections. ✅ Tokens as user-acquisition- tools, not fundraising tools — The Norm: Tokens primarily exist to raise capital for teams/founders (often to fund lifestyles, marketing, or quick exits). Utility is an afterthought (or never delivered), leading to misaligned incentives: price pumps on hype, then crashes when reality hits. Pi's Framework: Tokens are used inside the product drive adoption, reward engagement, enable features, and iterate based on user behavior. Projects issue tokens to grow their user base (not to fundraise), and Pioneers (real users) can hold projects accountable: bad products mean low engagement/token value suffers. This flips the script — tokens support genuine innovation and long-term value creation, powered by Pi's massive community. In conclusion, the Pi Launchpad solves the number 1 problem plaguing crypto today: the massive misalignment between token issuance and real-world utility. It fixes every major Web3 disease in one framework: Speculation over real utility → FIXED Rug pulls & ghosted projects → FIXED Dead tokens with zero users → FIXED This is the kind of thoughtful, utility-first design the crypto space has been begging for, and Pi Network just created the blueprint. Pi isn't following the old playbook… it's rewriting it. The full token design framework is public on GitHub for anyone who wants to dive deeper into its geniusness. Link below. And oh... Happy Pi Day 💜

My wife hired a maid to help with the house and our kid. On the first day, she told our child, “Call her Aunty. Aunty sounds friendlier.” Our kid asked, “Why?” Mama said, Because Aunty is part of our family.” For 15 years, Aunty was part of the family. She never received a salary increase. She sat at a different table while eating. She ate a different meal. She slept in the servant quarters. But she was family. One day Aunty asked for a salary increase. The kid had turned 15. Mama said, “You can call her maid now.” A few months later, Aunty was let go. “She’s no longer needed,” the boy had grown big. Another maid was hired immediately. She was also called Aunty again I am not talking about my wife and the maid 🤣 It's a corporate HR!

Dear young people on X, I would be lying to you if I said that X has not added monetary value to my lovely wife and me. Since I monetized my X page a few months ago, I have made a reasonable amount of money. As an example: I have not used a penny from my regular work salary to pay the school fees of my lovely children, neither have I used it to pay my rent. There are many other things I no longer use my salary for. And these things are not cheap. They're in millions of naira. Quite a few millions have also been invested in asset management entities from it. All came from X revenues payout and my subscription revenue payout. First, I would like to acknowledge God in all of this. Second, my lovely wife, who has been my number one backbone and inspiration behind the page. A lot of what I know and teach about relationships, women, motherhood, and marriage, I learned through her and my experiences in understanding the dynamics of a male and female intimate relationship. Third is to you all my audience, fans, haters, critics and supporters. It doesn't matter what I say or teach here. If you don't engage with my posts, I would not have grown this big, and certainly would not have seen a dime from X. I am grateful & I do not take it for granted. Even when my head dey touch sometimes, you still tolerate me. God bless you 🙏. Now to those still building their pages. Rome wasn't built in a day. You're still young, and X monetization has come to stay. There is plenty to come in the future for you, if you stay consistent, respectful to your audience and genuine to your niche or to your audience. On average, you can make between N150k to N500k per month. Do not look at some of us who make a few millions. Not all fingers are equal. And if you persevere, you'll also start earning millions. You don't even have to build your page to 100k followers. Just keep showing up, avoid violating X rules, and above all, do not be greedy or envious. Many people you see earning bi-weekly today put in the work. And some just got favored, blessed, or lucky. Earnings from X are legitimate. It can help you solve genuine financial pressing needs while you stay focused on your regular job, too. It doesn't matter how much you make from X; please do not resign from your job. We have seen big accounts get suspended or permanently suspended. We have also seen some accounts have had their revenues paused too. No one is untouchable. So that's the risk you do not want to take at the expense of resigning from your regular job because of the X payout. Lastly, not everyone would be interested in monetizing their pages. And not everyone who monetizes their pages would be paid. If you have another business that you run, please leverage big accounts to help you promote your business. It may come at a cost, but you too would benefit from it through sales, until you grow your business to a level where you have your own customer base. Everyone needs money. Everyone likes money. Do not let anyone deceive you or discourage you, or make you feel like you're posting for money. As long as it's a legitimate means, by all means, please grab your share of the cake as much as you can get. Thank you, and God bless you 🙏. End.

They're all just business men

Nigeria is the most dysfunctional country in the world. Electricity.... zero. Internet network... zero. Economy... zero. Educational system... zero. Security system... zero. Healthcare system... zero. Infrastructure... zero. Job opportunities... zero. We’re in 2026, for God’s sake, yet it feels like we’re still living in 1760. It shall not be well with APC, Tinubu, and their supporters.

People who protested against buying fuel at ₦97 per litre are now justifying and defending ₦1,050 per litre. I have never seen this level of hypocrisy in my life.

make it make sense... Context matters!
