Water Flame -a record that tells a story of contrasting emotions laid side by side (peace/anger, love/hate, joy/pain) Out now 🌎 push.fm/fl/jvqvoh9n

Nobody "brought us infrastructural development" and I think this myth should have died already. Colonialism was an economic project for the benefit of the imperial Metropole, not its colonies. Any "infrastructure" was built solely for the purpose of facilitating the transfer of wealth and resources from the colonies to the Metropole (in this case London/Liverpool/Southampton. That's why rail lines were only built from inland mining/plantation areas to the port. That's why at independence, after more than a century under British rule, almost nowhere in Nigeria outside of the areas the colonial officers lived and worked in had tarred roads or electricity or pipe borne water. Under British rule, despite having over 50 million people, Nigeria had only ONE university, which wasn't even classed as a standalone university but an external college of the University of London - because again, its purpose was not to educate Nigerians and facilitate proper elite formation, but to train a tiny pseudo-elite to assist the colonial government in its mission of wealth and skills transfer from the Nigerian colony to the British Metropole. I remember having a chat with @BOGbadams 4 years ago when he told me about the history of Ikorodu road in Lagos. Apparently until after the 2nd world war, there was no road between Lagos and Ikorodu, so people had to go exclusively by boat/ferry, which led to multiple disasters and avoidable loss of life. When the citizens of Ikorodu protested to the colonial governor Lagos and asked for a road, he told them "My job is to serve the queen, not to build roads for you." The people had to do a collection and fund construction of the first Ikorodu road by themselves, while practically all the wealth, resources and taxes extracted from them were being used by the British to fight Hitler. That was the actual reality of colonisation and people need to stop unintentionally romanticising the worst period of their own history. If I break into your house to steal your belongings and I point a gun at your children and make them build a bridge from my front door to your back window (using materials from your house) to facilitate my theft, that bridge is not "infrastructure" and I haven't done you a favour. Please stop "appreciating" nonsense.

@pashov @samczsun i don't know, pashov, but you're an OG. any tips on how to pivot to security audits, especially on the Rust-centric chains?

I made $600k USDC in ~20 months of doing solo smart contract security audits ('23-'24) It all started when I was reading the Uniswap V2/V3 docs. I saw some whitehat (now OG in the space, @samczsun) had done a "solo" audit for them. I was like "what? Solo audit? How good must have he been, so that he can do audits just by himself?". I felt motivated and impressed, but I was just starting out still, so I moved forward and forgot about it. I started actively posting my journey on X - public learning for web3 security. I did some contests on code4rena/Sherlock and had a busy calendar to do every contest possible. One of my posts gathered attention, and I got a comment. "Would you do a review for me? DM". I did an "audit" for $600 USDC for 6 hours of work. Found 2 High and 2 Medium severity issues. Made a PDF report. The dev was very happy with the work. I published on socials - got a second comment/DM and did a second solo audit. From then I went on to do 50+ solo audits and make $600k, working all by myself, so having pretty much 100% profit. Bought a few nice things, upgraded my lifestyle a bit, but I also truly fell inlove with ethical hacking and building sustainable businesses - creating long-term value for all parties involved. That's how I started Pashov Audit Group, my current web3 security audits company, where we secured many many many billions of dollars for blockchain projects. Been a fun journey, but I am far from satisfied. I will be using crypto my whole life, my wife and my kids will be using it, and their wives/husbands and kids. It's a long-term thing. That's why short term profit isn't something I get excited about. I'm a long-term thinker, and the only way to prove it is to keep going. Ending this year on a positive note - 2026 will be huge for all of us🔥 If you liked the story, Retweet and leave a comment about it, I'll make sure to respond to the good ones🫡

@khamenei_ir these guys have dem nukes already or are so effing close to it

10 countries in the world are capable of uranium enrichment, and one is Islamic Iran. The other nine countries have nuclear bombs. We’re the ones who don’t have a nuclear bomb, and we won’t have one. We have no intention of using nuclear weapons, but we do have enrichment.

@c_mobike no take am play fess o 😂 😂

Coach back from America pt2 😂😂😂😂

@sin4ch @NedSieg @DanielAfriheart no bro. confidence has little to do with show off or boasting or pride. but i get your initial position like mad, especially the "nothing is black or white" with life. that's the takeaway i got from self-studying philosophy.

@NedSieg @DanielAfriheart showing you're confident at what you do is the definition of showing off.

The urge to "show off" to others as a validation for your growth will ruin you.

@xing_titanium time for some index and caching
