Respect where it’s due to @NischalShetty. I’ve always respected his vision, especially the #IndiaWantsCrypto initiative and what he was trying to build with WazirX. When the hack happened, everything went against him. It’s obvious when you loose people’s money. He could have given up and moved on, but he didn’t. He stood strong through all the criticism. During the hack, many creators repeatedly posted about WazirX. Criticism was justified, but at some point, it felt like people were chasing engagement rather than solutions. After all, engagement pays on X. Now look at where things stand. > #WazirX has distributed around 85% of approved claims, and Nischal is still in the market, still grounded, and still building. The remaining recovery is important, and I genuinely hope every affected user gets their money back. Just imagine being in his position. A $235M hack, massive public pressure, and thousands of users waiting for their funds. Most founders would struggle to handle that. Recovering from something like this is no small achievement. Respect to Nischal for not giving up and continuing to take responsibility. Credit where it’s due.

paul graham, co-founder of y combinator, makes a very important point here. i genuinely believe people should never stop reading. substack, medium, x articles, research, psychology, whatever interests you. there’s so much valuable information out there. use ai to get summaries, extract the best insights, but never stop reading and thinking for yourself. i’ve been sharing good reads on this channel for years now. https://t.co/E9ytXcoSg3 everything from investing and trading psychology to ai, tech and opportunities. but here’s what i’ve noticed. most people don’t want to read. they just want to be spoon-fed. when to buy btc? when to sell? which coin will do 10x? what’s the next call? if that’s all you’re looking for, please leave this channel. you’ll never get spoon-fed calls here. the whole point of this channel is to help you think for yourself, not depend on someone else’s calls. personally, reading has helped me understand what’s happening in ai, tech and markets much earlier. that knowledge has helped me spot opportunities and make money. my approach is simple. consume less. create more. and whatever i consume, i try to make sure it’s actually valuable. not endless scrolling through random reels and useless content. we’re living in a time when information is available to everyone, yet very few people are willing to put in the effort to understand it. everyone wants to make money. very few want to do the reading that helps them understand where the opportunities are. that’s the difference.

unpopular opinion: i’m slowly moving away from self custody for long term bitcoin holdings. too many hacks are happening in crypto. private keys, seed phrases, multisig wallets, phishing attacks. even the ledger connect kit incident showed how things can go wrong. taking care of custody has become a big headache. if your goal is to hold bitcoin for the next 5 to 10 years, why not consider spot bitcoin ETFs? here are 5 worth looking at and who actually handles the BTC custody: $IBIT (blackrock) → coinbase custody $FBTC (fidelity) → fidelity digital assets $BITB (bitwise) → coinbase custody $ARKB (ark 21shares) → coinbase, bitgo, anchorage $MSBT (morgan stanley) → bny + coinbase now let’s say bitcoin is trading at $80k and you want 1 BTC worth of exposure. instead of buying 1 BTC and managing custody yourself, you could invest $16k into each of these 5 ETFs. that’s $80k worth of bitcoin exposure. you don’t directly own the bitcoin. you own shares in funds that hold actual $BTC. if bitcoin pumps 50%, your $80k becomes roughly $120k. if bitcoin crashes 50%, your $80k becomes roughly $40k. simple. the ETFs follow bitcoin’s price, minus small fees and tracking differences. the biggest advantage for me is not worrying about private keys or managing multiple wallets. institutions have professional custody infrastructure, but that doesn’t mean they’re impossible to hack. even if something goes wrong, their size doesn’t guarantee you’ll be paid back. i’m personally considering keeping 5 to 10% of my overall portfolio in bitcoin and ethereum ETFs for long term exposure. not because crypto is a safe asset, but because i want to reduce my personal custody risks. and remember, buying 5 ETFs doesn’t diversify you away from bitcoin’s price risk. several of these funds also use the same custodian. sometimes having less to manage is worth more than having full control. what do you think? would you rather self custody your bitcoin or hold it through an ETF?

viggle spent four years on one question: what if the world could be simulated? jst-2 builds a full 3d scene in about a second for under a cent, with characters already moving. they pitch it for robot training too. a gift for game devs, or bad news for 3d artists? 🎥 @ViggleAI https://t.co/XLuXNWD0ee

yuval noah harari says we are the cows of the future. cows can see humans but don't know money exists, yet markets decide their fate. he says ai will build financial systems we can't understand within 10 to 20 years. is he right, or is this just another doom take? 🎥 @CT24zive

elon musk says optimus and cybercab will be most of tesla's value. the roadster is super cool. at the reveal, optimus sat behind the wheel and fist-pumped on the landing. tesla says it wasn't driving, the stunts were preprogrammed. real product, or still just a passenger? 🎥 @Tesla

hyperliquid and lighter both gave 25%+ of their supply to users. the results couldn't be further apart hyperliquid, nov 2024 → 31% of supply to ~94K wallets → worth about $1B at launch, $20B+ today → ~3,875 wallets crossed $1M near HYPE's peak, and 456 crossed $10M → the median wallet got just 65 HYPE, and 86% of wallets sold everything lighter, dec 2025 → 25% of supply sent straight to points holders, with no claim and no lock → $675M on day one, about $800M today → the top 10K wallets took 80% of it same playbook, 25x the money the airdrop was never the prize. holding it was
