First internship stipend just hit.
Happy. But not that much.
Got 89% in 10th. He was more happy than me.
Scored less in 12th. He didn't scold me once.
Struggled in sem 1. He still believed in me.
He was less like a dad, more like a friend.
I never hesitated to share anything with him.
Then I lost him.
Hit my best in sem 5.
But for whom?
Today feels the same.
Just when it was finally the time to make him proud...
If I knew... I would've done all this earlier.
I may not have been the best son.
But you were the best dad.
This one is for you. 🤍

The 1995 film “HEAT” does not need to be found or looked for.
It comes into a young man’s life at exactly the time he was meant to see it.

Liquid is going to be much bigger.
Let's start with the problems first.
As a trader, you want exposure to markets, that exposure is gated by different exchanges, geography based restrictions, and regulations that can change any time.
1. CME and COMEX restrict futures. Unless you are in the right zip code and pay the data fees, you can't touch the order book.
2. Stocks are gated by a different exchange that needs a different onboarding process.
3. And this hassle multiplies when you factor in that every country has their own markets.
TradFi restricts access
Enter: CFDs.
CFDs come in and let you speculate on all these assets on a single platform. But it has one major flaw: you're trading against the broker, there's barely any regulation, they are hunting your positions for liquidity, spreads are terrible.
Trust collapses. Problem still exists.
CFD's give you access but no trust.
Enter: Decentralised Exchanges.
They use a public unmodifiable ledger to make execution transparent and ensure your positions can't be tampered with — all of it enforced by code so you don't HAVE to trust ANYONE and you can just trade peacefully.
But now, you have markets that have fragmented in a different manner.
Different decentralised exchanges run on different technologies, have different assets you can trade, different strengths/weaknesses, different onboarding processes.
DEXs give you Trust and Access without UX.
Enter: Liquid.
Liquid sits above these exchanges and routes your orders to the best one for that particular trade. It abstracts away the routing and execution of your orders so you can focus on the trading.
Liquid gives you Trust, Access and UX.
Liquid is not a "DeFi" company.
It's a natural evolution of financial markets.

Bojack horseman makes you sad, then it makes you laugh, then it breaks your heart, then it gives you hope, then it takes it away. It's like someone holding your heart in their hands and you don't know what they'll do to it next. What a show. What a masterpiece.

anyone looking for something to read after seeing this tweet — read essays.
they improve your reading comprehension, and allow you to read widely while still maintaining depth.
if you're looking for a concrete starting point, read 'Politics and the English Language' by George Orwell. good stuff.

Consuming knowledge, wide and deep, makes you out-think everyone. But practicing your knowledge gives you new knowledge and that makes you out-run everyone. Do this in a loop and you will be unbeatable in your field.

we need to move away from 'x amount of money is not enough' discourse. one could replace 2.5L here with any other number and the math can still make it look like it is not enough. this conversation leads to nothing but fear-mongering and anxiety among adults trying their best to lead a dignified life

People think ₹2.5 lakh/month in hand is freedom. Let’s do the math in an Indian metro. ₹2,50,000 in hand ₹60,000 rent (decent 2BHK, not luxury) ₹20,000 groceries + food ₹15,000 utilities, internet, phone, maintenance ₹20,000 parents support / family obligations ₹25,000 school fees / education planning (or future EMI buffer) ₹15,000 transport, fuel, cabs ₹20,000 medical, insurance, emergencies ₹15,000 social events, festivals, gifts ₹20,000 basic investing (EPF, MF, NPS) You’re left with ~₹40,000. That’s not freedom. That’s just a small margin. And this is without: • Home loan EMI • Kids’ coaching / college planning • Aging parents’ medical expenses • One bad health year • Job loss buffer In Indian companies, ₹30–40 LPA sounds huge on paper. In real life, with a family, it mostly buys stability, not freedom. Freedom is: • 12–18 months runway without stress • Ability to say no to toxic work • Medical issues not wrecking finances • Choices driven by values, not EMIs ₹2.5L/month is a great milestone. But don’t confuse comfort with independence. Change your goals. Build assets, not just income. Learn skills, earn, invest, re-invest. At least that's what we do at @0xffdevs

@kanmanine the real tier one college is the friends you make along the way

even if we replace 'privacy' with any dead sector, the logic holds.
defending the product in your copy/pitch is a fool's errand. used to do that a lot initially until i picked up the 'gap selling' book and started selling the gap instead.
it made objection handling easier as well. objections only exist when the prospect doesn't feel the gap, or doesn't believe your bridge crosses it.

privacy keeps losing
not because the tech is weak
not because the builders aren’t smart
and definitely not because the problem isn’t real
it keeps losing because it doesn’t speak the internet’s language
the internet doesn’t reward correctness
it rewards clarity, familiarity and repeatition
most privacy projects communicate like:
a grant proposal
a research paper
a compliance checklist
meanwhile the internet speaks in:
memes
metaphors
screenshots
lived moments
when people say “privacy doesn’t matter,”
they’re usually saying something else:
“i don’t understand what i’m losing.”
nobody wakes up wanting encryption
they wake up wanting to avoid pain
not getting rugged
not being tracked
not having funds frozen
not feeling exposed or stupid
privacy teams explain how it works
internet wants to know what breaks without it
That gap is everything
until privacy is framed as:
“this is what goes wrong when you don’t have it”
instead of:
“this is how our protocol works”
it will continue to lose mindshare.
the next privacy winners won’t win on primitives alone.
they’ll win on explanation.
if you can’t explain your privacy product in one sentence
that a non-technical user would repeat to a friend
you don’t have a distribution problem
you have a language problem
privacy builders explain how it works
the internet cares about what breaks without it
that’s the gap
until privacy is explained like:
“this is what goes wrong when you don’t have it”
instead of:
“here’s how our protocol works”
it will keep losing mindshare.
the next wave of privacy winners won’t just ship better tech.
they’ll ship better stories.
if you can’t explain your privacy product in one sentence that a normie would repeat…
you don’t have a distribution problem.
you have a language problem.
