@egragcrypto It’s already first of April oh my god the time is running faster then I can accept it. Anyway, good morning Egrag, hope you are doing good 👍
Today, I am turning 43 years old:
To some, it may be just another year or simply another number. For me, it is a deeply engraved number, because this is the first year since I was born that my father will not send me a “Happy Birthday” message or a voice note, the way he always loved to do.
I keep listening to our WhatsApp chats over and over for the past 32 days. Sometimes it makes me feel like I am just traveling and that I will come back and see him again.
I do not regret anything, except that during COVID, I did not take the vaccine and did not come home for three years. I wish I had taken it so I could have seen him more during that lost time.
But I can truly say that I am lucky. GOD gave me the sign and the feeling to come home and spend the last 21 months with him.
I am turning 43 without my father, but I have a mother who can move mountains with her prayers. Still she is giving me strength and wisdom. As she says” GODs plan cannot be altered or delayed, it is always on time. Good or bad to us but even what seems to be bad will always turn to be good at the end”
I have a Brother who is a lion in times of war, who will defend me and my family as he always has and will continue to do so. And a wiseman during critical times.
My brother’s wife is my spiritual sister. She guided me through difficult times that few could bear, through her faith in GOD and her spiritual guidance.
Gerard, my brother’s first son, is a tiger by all means. He can bear the unbearable and still love his two brothers and my children. He is a true descendant of my father’s legacy.
One of my other nephews is an angel, yet he has the body and strength of Khabib. He is a UFC fighter, and the world will know his name as one of the greatest fighters of all time.
The other one is called “the hand breaker.” He finishes submissions by breaking hands, yet his warmth can vibrate the entire universe.
By now, I believe you know my eldest daughter, @egregio_2013. Her love and trust empower me deeply, and her wisdom is far beyond her age. She is 13 years old, an A+ student, and a public speaker at her school. Her outstanding performance and her sweet heart make me want to change the world for the better.
My second daughter is tiny compared to her sister, but her fighting spirit and leadership can match the fiercest gladiator. She gives me the power to continue my quest and keeps igniting the fighting spirit within me.
My youngest son wants to be a politician and work in crypto like his dad, as he says. His warmth reminds me that protectors of this galaxy exist, because every time he wants to eat, he first asks his sisters if they have eaten or if they are about to eat.
Finally, my love and my support, my wife, Emma. She has never doubted my decisions. On the contrary, she always says, “You will always find a way, like you always do.” She is a true woman in every sense. As I always tell her, in my next life I will find you and marry you again.
A big note: My brother-in-law, my wife’s brother, is a man who placed his neck on the sword’s edge when no one else dared to even ask how I was holding up. His support will be repaid by GOD, not by me, because he is one of the true reasons this account is still standing today.
I learned a life lesson: life does not get easier; we get tougher.
I am turning 43, and I am maturing into the understanding that the small things we do are what truly matter in the end and will always be remembered: be honest, be genuine, be a believer. GOD’s plans are always better than ours.
Love you all. This account is my breath during these tough times.
After long, dark nights, the day will come, and the light will shine again.
Thank you, GOD, for everything You have given me. I surrender only to You.
No surrender and no retreat, except for You.
#XRPFAMILY
I know not everyone is in the mood for jokes, but this one made our morning 😊
My eldest daughter asked me, “Dad, why are you awake so early checking your computer?”
I told her, “I’m watching the Japanese market open and checking how crypto is behaving.”
She nodded seriously and asked, “So… how is it going?”
I said, “We got a GOD candle.”
She knows this term very well, because whenever there’s a real GOD candle, it usually comes with a gift from dad 🎁
Her eyes lit up and she immediately said, “So… can I buy my new laptop?”
I replied, “Wait… listen till the end. It was a GOD candle… but the inverted one.”
She froze for a second.
Her mom? She burst out laughing, because she already knew exactly what the market had just done to us 🫣😉
Markets move fast… but family moments like these are priceless.
#XRPFAMILY You’re Part of this family 🫶
#HBAR → Rotated Into #VRA: The Story & The Wise Sheikh From Qatar:
1⃣The Decision & The Cost:
I made a painful decision. At the time, I genuinely believed it was the smartest move.
I sold 30% of my #HBAR position in multiple orders to rotate into #VRA, expecting stronger returns in the final phase of the cycle.
That decision cost me , and many of you already know how.
Not because the market failed.
Not because volatility happened.
But because my thesis broke down.
What hurts most is not the loss of capital.
Losses are part of this game.
What hurts is realizing that something with real potential could have become meaningful, yet the path taken damaged confidence instead of strengthening the community.
I am not sad because I invested in #VRA.
I am sad because something with potential chose the wrong direction.
2⃣A Lesson From 2008
Back in 2008, during the global financial crisis, I was handling a major transaction with a large corporation whose chairman was a Sheikh from the Qatari royal family.
He shared a lesson that stayed with me:
“Your provision is written. But the way you obtain it is your choice, you choose between Halal (clean, rightful earning) or Haram (unjust gain).”
That message applies to everyone:
Individuals. Teams. Projects. Character is revealed under pressure. Integrity is revealed when opportunity appears.
3⃣The Real Takeaway
I share this not from anger, but from disappointment and responsibility.
A reminder to myself first:
Due diligence is not only about charts. It is also about ethics, transparency, and character.
Markets will always offer new opportunities.
But trust, once broken, is hard to rebuild.
#VRA - Capital Recovery Target:
What price would you need to reach just to recover your capital?
I know how I feel , and I know many of you feel the same.
This is my personal capital recovery target.
What’s yours?
20 Days Between Knowing and Goodbye:
(I carried my tears in silence. Strength was how I honored my father.)
🏳️On December 18, 2025, my life changed. It began with a medical report I did not understand.
Words like metastasis, stage four, liver involvement.
Cold words. Heavy words. Words that did not feel real… until they slowly became my reality.
I was scared. Lost. Overwhelmed. So I turned to ChatGPT, not just for answers, but because I needed help understanding what was happening to my dad. I needed someone to translate medical language into something my heart could process. I asked questions no son wants to ask:
▫️Is it cancer?
▫️What stage is it?
▫️Can he be cured?
▫️How much time do we have?
With every answer, the truth became clearer. Painful, but honest.
🏳️We learned that the cancer most likely started in the gallbladder, silently.
▫️No symptoms.
▫️No warning signs.
▫️Nothing we could have caught earlier.
▫️By the time it showed itself, it had already spread to the liver.
▫️Advanced. Stage IV. No cure.
Later, the doctors confirmed that further procedures like a biopsy would not change anything. It would only cause harm. The goal was no longer treatment. The goal became comfort, dignity, and peace.
🏳️Those days were the hardest days of my life. I watched my father change in front of me:
▫️His blood pressure falling despite medication
▫️His breathing becoming weaker
▫️His voice slowly disappearing
▫️His mouth drying, cracking, unable to speak
▫️His strength fading day by day
▫️His body holding water while life slowly let go And yet… he was still having his cigarettes and Coffee like always.
▫️Even in silence. Even in weakness. Even when he could no longer speak. We all stayed beside him.
▫️We spoke to him even when he couldn’t answer.
▫️We held his hand.
▫️We watched.
▫️We prayed.
▫️I tried to stay strong for him.
▫️In the final days, the doctors gently said new year's eve what no child wants to hear: “Only a few days remain.”
🏳️And then, on January 6, 2026, at 7:30 in the morning, God decided his time had come.
▫️My father left this world.
▫️That moment is carved into my heart forever.
▫️His Last Words, the Legacy He Left in Our Hearts even while his body was failing, his heart stayed fully alive.
▫️What stays with me forever is not only how he left… but how he spoke to each of us before he did.
🏳️To my mother, after 52 years of marriage, he said:
“You never left me. You are a strong woman, and always be strong.” A lifetime of loyalty in one sentence.
🏳️To my eldest brother, he said:
“I hope you will have 100 children. This is how your legacy will continue for a thousand years.” Not money. Not power. Legacy through life.
🏳️To my brother’s wife, he said:
“Take care of them. They need your warmth, your wisdom, and your vision for the future.”
🏳️To my eldest nephew, who had just returned from the USA, he said:
“Welcome home, my eldest grandchild. This is the best day, I have no more wishes left now.”
🏳️To me, words I will carry for the rest of my life:
▫️“I count on you and you are son of true worth. Wealth deserves you because you know how to make others happy. I hope a thousand children carry your name and your heart.”
▫️“I count you more than anyone else in this universe. You are the one who will lift my legacy.”
How does a son hear this and remain the same person ever again?
🏳️To my wife, he said:
“When I see you, I feel happiness and no pain. You are a rare flower in my son’s life.”
🏳️To my children, he said:
“You were my joy in the last two years, when your father finally came home after 22 years of traveling.”
🏳️To his brothers (3 brothers), he said:
“I thought I loved you more… but it turned out you loved me more.”
🏳️To his sisters, he kept telling my mother:
“Give them equal money, make sure they are comfortable in transportation when they come to see me.” Even in weakness, he thought of their dignity.
🏳️To my father-in-law, his longtime trading partner of more than 10 years, he said:
“Where your presence is, blessing comes.”
🏳️And to everyone who came to visit him…
▫️He welcomed them with calm. With kindness. With dignity.
🏳️🏳️What breaks me the most and what honors him the most 🏳️🏳️:
▫️is that while every organ was failing,
▫️while the pain must have been unbearable,
▫️we never once heard him curse life, blame God, or scream in agony.
▫️We only ever heard him say:
“I am good. I will be better. Thanks God for all his blessings. I am blessed to have you. I am Good do not worry about me”
▫️That was his character.
▫️That was his faith.
▫️That was my father.
🏳️What these 20 days did to me
▫️These 20 days broke something inside me…
but they also built something stronger.
▫️They taught me that:
▫️Some diseases come without warning
▫️Some battles are fought silently
▫️Some endings cannot be delayed
▫️And sometimes, love means staying even when there is nothing left to fix.
▫️I learned that presence is everything.
▫️That sitting next to your father in his final moments is sacred.
▫️That love doesn’t stop death… but it honors life.
🏳️What I believe
▫️I believe the soul does not simply disappear.
▫️I believe in reincarnation, that the soul continues its journey unless it has completed its lessons across many lives.
▫️Maybe my father finished his mission in this life.
▫️Maybe he reached the gardens of God.
▫️Maybe he was elevated to a higher existence.
▫️Or maybe his soul will return, upgraded, purified, stronger, in another generation.
▫️Whatever the divine truth may be, I believe this:
▫️His soul is not lost.
▫️His journey is not over.
▫️He is at peace.
🏳️From December 18 2025 To January 6 2026, 20 days that changed me forever.
▫️This was not just a medical journey.
▫️This was my journey as a son.
▫️My journey with my father.
▫️My journey with pain, truth, love, faith, and surrender.
And as painful as it was…I am grateful I walked every step beside him. I love you, my Dad.
My tears came while writing these words, not at his funeral. In front of others, I stayed strong, carrying my grief in silence like taught by my Father "SAMI"
@egragcrypto@ceoverasity Investing always carries risk, and that should be understood by everyone. I invested only what I could afford to lose, so all is good. Nothing to worrying about brother 🫡
