My maternal grandfather was a house servant in Mumbai. Every time he had to send money back home to my grandmother and kids, he had to walk 3-4 km to reach the nearest post office. Home was a small village near Dwarhat in Uttarakhand, which didnt even have road access back then, the closest road came much later and was still about a km away from the village.
And sending that money wasnt a quick errand. He had to take half a day off, sometimes a full day, just to stand in long lines at the post office and send a "money order". The maalik he worked for would get pissed about it and cut his Sunday leave, and Sunday was the only day he had off in the entire week. He paid a fee that wasnt cheap for him, and even when everything went smoothly the money would still reach days later.
That was the reality of being poor, you had to toil just to move your own money. The fees were somewhat manageable because India had a nationalised postal service, but they were still harsh for a guy like my grandfather. The delays were the worst part. If a money order got stuck for a week or two my grandmother would end up borrowing wheat and dal from neighbours, especially in peak winter when supply was already tight.
Sometimes during strikes or disruptions he had to trust random intermediaries to carry the cash for him. You just didnt have many other options.
And this isnt some old story. The global average cost of sending remittances today is still around 6-7%. Thats what the poor are still paying just to move their own money across a border.
Now someone can send dollar stablecoins across borders in seconds for less than a cent, no bank sitting in between taking its cut. In Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, stablecoins are already becoming part of how people actually live. When your own currency is devaluing year after year, nobody has to sell you on the idea, you just want something stable you can hold and send whenever you need to.
My Nanaji deserved this convenience 50 years ago. Billions of people still deserve it today. Thats why @0xPolygon wants to move all money onchain 💜

Physical native money is dead. Long live digital native money.
It took us years to find our PMF, I won't lie. But $3.6B in stablecoin supply, no.1 for USD based stablecoins with 22.1% of the global market and to cap it off, Polygon has moved $2.4T (yes TRILLION) in stablecoins!
The world's largest fintechs are routing money through Polygon because its faster and cheaper than SWIFT or any banking middleman, and we are very widely integrated with fiat on/off ramps.
I dont care where you are in the world, whether you're in an emerging market or one of the richest countries, Polygon exists for you and everyone around you. The old system makes you pay to move your own money, we built Polygon so you dont have to.
This is exactly what I spoke in my Token2049 talk "The End of Old Money" and i stand by every word, but almost a year on now i'm not just saying it anymore, i'm watching it happen on @0xPolygon every single day.

Every time you update your beliefs based on evidence, you get closer to reality.
The people who consistently win have the ability to change their position when the data changes. Strong opinions, weekly held.
Keep your ego in check. Love your efforts, love your mission and not your opinions. Specially as a builder, Your duty is to seek truth.
Repeat to yourselves : "I don't want to be right, I want to win."

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.
It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT THIS BUT ME? THESE MOTHERFUCKERS HAVE BEEN RAPING HARD WORKING AMERICANS FOR DECADES…AND LAUGHING ABOUT IT WHILE THEY DO IT. THIS IS WHAT THE FUCK I HAVE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT FOR YEARS. ITS EVEN WORSE IN SPORTS. MUCH OF CORPORATE AMERICA NEEDS TO HAVE THEIR PANTS PULLED DOWN AND HAVE THEIR ASSES WHOOPED. PUBLICLY. I DON’T TYPE THIS AS A MAGA GUY OR A CONSERVATIVE. I SPEAK MY TRUTH AS AN AMERICAN WHO LOVES THIS COUNTRY. GOD IS MY WITNESS.

U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer Tyler Jaggers has sadly passed away after being severely injured in a high-seas rescue off the coast of Washington state.
Jaggers was injured during a medical evacuation of a cargo-ship crew member who had suffered a stroke.
Jaggers was getting ready to propose to his girlfriend, according to close friends.
"Yesterday, surrounded by the people who love him most, his family carried out the proposal on Tyler's behalf. His dad placed the ring on my hand at his bedside," his fiancée said.
The incident happened about 140 miles off the Washington coast, according to local reports.
"While conducting a helicopter medical evacuation offshore of Washington state, Tyler was seriously injured while being deployed to a large vessel," USCG Rescue Swimmers said on IG.
"After being transported to a hospital in Victoria, Canada, it was determined by doctors that Tyler would not survive his injuries."
"Our brother put his life on the line for someone he had never met, as Coast Guard aircrews and rescue swimmers have done thousands of times before, answering the call so that he and his crew could save a stranger's life."
"Unfortunately, Tyler lost his in the process. He gave his life in the purest act of service: trying to save another."
Rest in peace, Tyler.

You can't say the f-word on live TV.
"Bad Bunny"'s disgusting halftime show was illegal.
Had he said these lyrics -- and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous.
Puerto Ricans are Americans and we all live by the same rules.
We are sending @BrendanCarrFCC a letter calling for dramatic action, including fines and broadcast license reviews, against the @NFL, @nbc, and "Bad Bunny."
Lock them up.

Purposefully turning off the halftime show
Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences
(which equals viewership for them)
You are their benefit. Realize you have power.
Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.

Mike Rowe: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code.”
“Well, AI is coming for the coders.”
“It’s not coming for the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians.”
“In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years—not hyperbole.”
“The BlueForge Alliance, who oversees our maritime industrial base—that’s 15,000 individual companies who are collectively charged with building and delivering nuclear-powered subs to the Navy … calls and says, we’re having a hell of a time finding tradespeople. Can you help?”
“I said, I don’t know, man … how many do you need? He says, 140,000.”
“These are our submarines. Things go hypersonic, a little sideways with China, Taiwan, our aircraft carriers are no longer the point of the spear. They’re vulnerable.”
“Our submarines matter, and these guys have a pinch point because they can’t find welders and electricians to get them built.”
“The automotive industry needs 80,000 collision repair and technicians.”
“Energy, I don’t even know what the number is, I hear 300,000, I hear 500,000.”
“There is a clear and present freakout going on right now. I’ve heard from six governors in the last six months. I’ve heard from the heads of major companies.”

I hate to say it, but I'm coming around to Trump's side on Greenland. I think we could have been more polite, and we shouldn't threaten to take it by force, but there are only 50,000 people who live there, and it's arguably the most strategically important piece of real estate in the world today, and damn right the United States should be in control of it.

🚨 JUST IN: U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro just laid out what REALLY happened with Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
They sent Powell a letter THREE different times demanding answers about the $1 BILLION cost overruns on the Federal Reserve building renovation…
And he just ignored it.
A BILLION dollars.
As Pirro put it: we’re not talking $1M… not $10M… not even $100M…
We’re talking $1,000,000,000 in overruns.
Then suddenly — out of nowhere — Powell posts a video the other night crying about “political persecution.”
Yeah… that’s not how someone with nothing to hide behaves.
They think they’re above the law.
They’re about to find out.
