𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗜𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝘁. 7 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘳 𝘻𝘰𝘯𝘦. 7 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺, 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝟭. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱. People talk about resilience like it's a mindset you adopt. It's not. It's something that gets burned into you. When you've stood still while missiles fall, every future crisis, every funding rejection, every bad quarter, looks different. We stopped saying "this is hard." We started saying: we survived that. We'll survive this. 𝟮. 𝗧𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺: 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼. The first thing I told my team: "I will be the last one to go." Not like a speech but a promise. That single statement did more for culture than any values document. In chaos, people don't need strategy, they need to know the person at the front isn't about to run. That promise changed the energy in our team overnight. 𝟯. 𝗟𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗜'𝗱 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻. She heard the missiles and started crying. I looked her in the eyes and told her I had built an invisible atomic shield around our home. Nothing could get through it. She believed me. She slept. Sometimes leadership is just building a story strong enough to hold someone's fear inside. 𝟰. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗺𝘆 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗸𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲. The noise was constant. Day. Night. Day again. At some point my voice just… went. But Zoth didn't miss a single delivery. Because we'd built a distributed team that didn't need me at the center of every decision. Because we built the right systems before the crisis hit. Your resilience is only as strong as the infrastructure you build in peacetime. 𝟱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲. Everyone around me was panicking, rushing to leave, reacting to every rumor. I chose to stay put. Watch. Think. Watched the UAE handle a national crisis with a precision I'd never seen before - calm, measured, deliberate. Slowly, things stabilized. The chaos that looked permanent wasn't. Stillness is underrated. 𝟲. 𝗚𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹. Blocked time every day, walks, gym, beach with the kids. In the middle of everything, it felt almost wrong. Like I should be doing something. But that time kept me sharp enough to actually lead. Your mental state is the most contagious thing in any room you walk into. Protect it like you protect your runway. 𝟳. 𝗪𝗲 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆. The whole Zoth Dubai team made a decision together: no Instagram influencers, no Twitter doom threads. Government channels only. Accredited sources only. Within days, the anxiety of the unknown dropped significantly. You cannot control a war. You can absolutely control what you let into your head. War or market crash, the fundamentals don't change. Build systems. Back your people. Control the noise. Keep shipping. #Resilience #Zoth #Leadership #MentalHealth #BuildInChaos #KeepShipping

Last year taught me.. Mind is the ultimate power.. your mind and your energy define your destiny. Never give up

@torabyou Makes sense during holi ramadan month

My wife thinks she slick....asking me how much I gave in Zakat.

@blockchainbalak You and Prashant have built an iconic company @spheron ..Glad to watch and cheer ..all the best

Next Chapter If you were to ask me which moment divided my life into before and after, I would tell you: it was the day I joined Spheron, the day we began building something from nothing. For most, Spheron is a company. For me, it became something harder to name - a place where I left pieces of myself. I gave it what I could. Not everything was visible. Much of it never will be. But I knew, in the quiet way one knows such things, that I had offered it my fullest effort. Now I am stepping aside - not leaving, but changing shape. From co-founder to core-contributor. The distinction matters to me, even if it is difficult to explain. Prashant & Mitrashish. What we shared is not easily summarized. I learned from you both in ways I am still understanding. I hope we find ourselves, someday, at the beginning of something again. I wish Spheron every success. I mean this the way one means the things that cost something to say.

@afscott Nobody buys from them even in India :) @spinny is better

even his apology is written by chatgpt- how do I short cars24?

A year ago, Zoth faced a serious attack on our systems. We were exposed, shaken, and vulnerable. Many wrote us off. The noise was loud, they won't recover, it's over, move on. We didn't. We believed in ourselves. We rebuilt. And we came back stronger. Today, I'm watching the world say the same things about Dubai. The city has been hit hard. Cynics are already writing it off, predicting its decline, waiting for it to stumble. They're wrong. I've seen this movie before. We didn't choose Dubai by accident. We chose it because Dubai is the embodiment of what we believe at Zoth, that falling is not failure. Failure is refusing to rise. This city was built on that exact philosophy. From desert to skyline. From nothing to one of the most extraordinary urban stories on the planet. Dubai doesn't just survive disruption, it drove change in the region. This is where we started. Where we raised our first Institutional capital. Where we laid our roots and built our infrastructure. Dubai didn't just give us an address, it gave us an identity. So today, as Dubai faces this crisis, we are not spectators. We stand with this city, unconditionally. We are doubling down when the world watches. We are committed to doing everything in our power to support the path back to normalcy, because Dubai is home. Resilience and action are not just values we put on a slide deck at Zoth. They are lived. They were forged in our hardest moments and Dubai reflects them back to us every single day. To every founder, builder, and believer who calls this city home: do not flinch. Dubai will bounce back. And so will we, together.

@prashantmaurya @chainyoda So true

@chainyoda tell me one great tech built except blockchain? what crypto needs now is connecting the dots to solve real world problems instead of solving the problem we create ourselves.

crypto will die if it’s purely pragmatic. We must continue to dream and sustain the romance of building cool things that aren’t casino. Top tech talent follows dreams not perps

@vaibhavvali Great parenting may be

Aren’t my kids ambitious? My neighbor gave my 6 kids (all 12 & under) 50 AED each this Ramadan. They didn’t want toys, snacks or anything for themselves. Instead: “Nothing… we can buy groceries when needed.” I was greedy as hell chasing candy at their age. What am I missing here 🤯 #dubai

@saxenasaheb @Sir_Damilare @coinbase Splendid journey .. @base is proud to have u

18 months ago, I joined @coinbase. But the story actually starts earlier. I had just shut down my previous company. Like many founders, I was in that strange in-between phase figuring out what comes next. Around the same time, I started a small builder community with @rahulbhadoriiya. Just a bunch of us experimenting with consumer products and building in public. That little experiment has now turned into its own beast with @akhil_bvs @pratyushrungta running @innercircle_so When I eventually joined Coinbase, it wasn’t because it was a big public company. I joined because of @Base And more specifically, because of @jessepollak His obsession with bringing the world onchain and making the world broker free felt deeply aligned with how I saw the space. 18 months in, a few lessons stand out: 1. Some bets will fail. That’s the job. You try things. Many don’t work. What matters is how fast can you listen to users and pivot. Watching a multi billion dollar company do this at global scale has been incredible. 2. Delegation is leverage You can only go so far alone. Real scale happens when you trust great people with real responsibility. Watching @XenBH shape the international growth by leaning on local leaders has been phenomenal 3. Loud ≠ valuable. In large communities the loudest voices dominate attention. But the real builders are usually heads down shipping. The job is to find them and empower them. 4. Data and documentation win wars. The companies that move fastest win because they move information better. One thing I’ve loved internally is the weekly “top of mind” notes from @emiliemc Gives a window into leadership decisions and her thought process week on week. When I run a company at that scale, that’s the kind of leadership cadence I’d want to build. Can’t believe it’s been 18 months already. Time flies when you love what you do.

@TheMiamiApe @zothdotio is

Anyone working on agentic-payments?

@chriseyin So true

All of the recent drama on ct re different well established protocols tells us one thing There is no such thing as lindy yet in crypto. The space at large (defi/dapps/etc not btc) is still sub 10 years old Nothing is too big to fail. Anything can happen, both to the downside and the upside Keep grinding friends, abundance awaits on the otheer side

@Rahim_mahtab Lets do it

Dubai folks so with token 2049 cancelled for obvious travel reasons. Maybe we should do something more intimate and community driven at Arts DAO for folks who are in the country Thoughts ????

the feeling on the ground in dubai is cautiously optimistic. MoD numbers illustrate the sharp decline in projectiles over the past 2 days and that has translated into: > traffic back up during peak hours > zero disruption to food / groceries > kids' activities and classes are all back > doctors appointments scheduled as normal > 50+ execs gathered for a crypto iftar last night

The opportunities in Dubai have always been incredible. Right now, they’ve multiplied. Those who double down on the city over the coming months will be rewarded very nicely.

That’s why founder led companies are special @brian_armstrong . We had the same situation a year ago and we decided to let key tech team members go. I have built 0-1 and always ready to go to 0 & build again. @zothdotio leadership team consists of 4 ex founders who have built & shown resilience like @neemofinance . We built @zothdotio back because our dna was made when we were an idea and it remains the same till today.. #resilience
