Memes is the new human language. And probably will be the ONLY language left if the world degenerates or breaks apart assuming we have two things electricity and satellite internet.

15 years today on Twitter / X. Have been rarely active as a writer. Have been a consumer of “sentiment” and “analysis” of the platform through these years. It has served a useful purpose for me. Extremely rare to find platforms that can serve so long #MyXAnniversary

#Trump is in & it changes many-many things: - Hope : Everyone gets voice. Expect a noisy world. In general people like to express. Now they can. Expect some tough, bold and erratic decisions. Most think this is bad - I think people at large love this as they like to support what they cannot do. Eg how many of us will be all in like @elonmusk I think “ALL IN FOR HUMANITY” becomes the unspoken global slogan. Hope wins! - Technologist as Kingmaker : Elon gets a mention again. Most celebrated technologist played a big role in mobilising 24x7 attention to single word “Trump”. US presidency is metaphorical Iron throne (of Game of thrones) - so Elon has been a kingmaker. Bright future for emerging technology. High probability that “Technology becomes the King”. - Politics in entertainment and entertainment in politics : Bullish on Social media (Twitter X et all), even the decentralised ones driven by AI. Prime time media chose propaganda over people’s voice. Hollywood (much like Bollywood) chose power over people’s voice. Many celebrities lost relevance. On a lighter note - we will hear more “You are fired” and one-liners that get picked up by social media. So, diplomacy will be entertainment. - More business : Protectionism & posturing killed global trade for a while. Action will continue to shift from West to East in a good way. While, US - China will simmer, rest of the fractures should ease out. Particularly bullish on South Block (incl India, UAE, KSA). - Crypto boom : Money printing, tax breaks, better regulations, no witch hunting, stricter action against culprits - should get the juggernaut in perpetual motion. Overall, Still early. There are expectations. There are priorities. That’s why at this point I believe there is Hope. Hope mobilises people to contribute towards (re)building a civilisation. Sometimes that encouragement and inspiration is all is needed. Let’s wish best for the world!

Hyper creative. Loved the simplicity yet profoundness of this image. Speaks about #Bitcoin price but that’s true for stability, commerce, deeptech, etc. #Trump assassination attempt made him a totally different person. I have had couple of near death experiences and they sorted my priorities immediately. I care (about wellness, people, purpose, journey etc), yet I don’t care (about possessions, opinions, etc). In case of #Trump it seems (so far) undivided focus on “Making America great again”. Stable and progressive US is great for the world!
