from a small-town Indian kid who couldn’t speak english at 17 → to running @goatfishxyz, the most in-demand media agency in crypto, covering events in 10+ countries with a team from 8 nations… in just 2 years. @pradologue is an inspiration. the wildest origin story you’ll hear today: > grew up in a tiny town in India, didn’t learn english until 18, then moved to the city and hustled random startup internships > volunteered at a massive international youth conference → met people from 100+ countries in 10 days → mind blown, decided “I have to become a global citizen” > spent 1.5 years backpacking India, filling notebooks with stories & lessons > pandemic hits → starts dumping everything on Twitter → account explodes > crypto frens tell him to write about crypto → starts dropping threads & deep dives → gets noticed by Superteam India > live-tweeting a 15-day Cross-Chain Clubhouse event → crushes it > then covers Hacker House, hustles his way into Superteam UAE (“I’ll sleep in $10 dorms, just get me a flight”) → meets people from Russia, South Africa, Australia on a single bus ride > two months later joins Founders Villa in Dubai → decides this nomadic event-coverage life is THE life > starts goatfish, hires shooters/editors better than him, teaches them his style > In just 2 years they’ve covered events in Japan, Korea, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali, Dubai, Georgia… > clients now include: Solana Foundation, Jupiter, Meteora, deBridge, Balaji’s Network State Conference, multiple Superteams, Forma, and more > handled 40 events in 7 days during Token2049 + Breakpoint with a 10-person team > built a 15-person team pulled from 8+ countries by cold-DMing hundreds of creators, doing photo walks, and asking “who’s the best guy here?” > pays his (mostly Indian) team so well that other founders tell him “bro you’re ruining the market, stop paying that much” > already close to buying his mom a house after thinking it would take 5 years — did it in ~18 months > future? Keep hunting raw untapped talent (Nigeria, non-English speakers, women creators, etc.), pay for their English courses, fly them around the world, break every local salary rule, and just “seek pain + maximize fun” moral of the story: one obsessed kid with a phone, zero connections, and a willingness to sleep in $10 dorms can build the hottest media team in crypto in 24 months flat. goatfish isn’t slowing down.
