@moniepointng two people sent me money this morning and I am yet to receive including the one from my other bank ? Nothing must happen to that money. @moniepointng

A man moved to the UK as a student in 2024 and has been living with his sister since he arrived. That arrangement kept his costs low. He now works full time and saves about £1,500 a month. His visa clock is running. He has until January 2028 to find a sponsored job or leave the country, and sponsorship has become very hard to get. Recently he met a UK citizen, originally from Nigeria. She is a single mother of one. She has suggested he moves in with her, and she often talks about marriage and having another child. When they sat down to talk money, she was clear: she will not split costs 50/50. She expects him to carry most of the financial load, and she said that is the only way she can respect him. Once they ran the numbers, his monthly savings would fall from £1,500 to about £300. He is 39. He already has two children in Nigeria from a previous marriage that ended because of infidelity. At this stage, he says financial freedom matters more to him than marriage. So he is stuck between two paths: 1. Stay with his sister, keep saving £1,500 a month, and accept that he may have to leave in January 2028 with roughly £35,000. 2. Or move in with the single mother, and possibly marry, and watch most of that saving power disappear. Those are the choices in front of him. I believe you all know what my possible advise to him will be. So let me keep quiet and allow you all do the advise. The floor is open. AJD.

Reason why I laugh when I see people try to clown others for using LinkedIn. I went to that “meeting” thinking it was a casual conversation with him, ended up leaving meeting the rest of the team and a job.

Nvidia just minted a new set of millionaires yesterday. "You can't get rich from 9 - 5" should be top 10 most ignorant takes of this decade. Also, choose where you work wisely. Everything no be salary.

Founders should celebrate their first 10 customers just as much as their first 1,000.

Actually, Hyperliquid is not the first to implement a native on-chain CLOB, nor will it be the last. The XRP Ledger was the first, followed by Stellar, and Hyperliquid was certainly not the first for Perps; we had Sei, dYdX, Apex Pro, and many more. Unlike Hyperliquid, those perp guys did too much and tried to replicate an L1 transaction system in a futures-specific environment (and that was the beginning of their end). But Hyperliquid stuck to a set of theses they believed made their platform awesome for traders and market makers. Their thesis proved a couple of things: ➡️ Smart contracts are not good for Perps (I mean that literally; there are too many attack vectors). ➡️Transparent orders, just as those on XRPL and Stellar's orderbooks, are better than hidden orders, which usually lead to toxic MEV. ➡️ Market-maker first-block priority is better than open-priority systems on multi-purpose blockchains, which usually lead to takers initiating toxic flow on makers and, in turn, bad price discovery. What did we learn here? Building an on-chain Perp DEX on public L1s/L2s poses many problems: smart contract dependencies, MEV & toxic flow, oracle and keeper-bot latency, gas fees + trade fees, etc. Basically, on-chain perps are worse than CEX perps, and they are not wrong (to date, no on-chain perp comes close to Hyperliquid). Thank you for your attention.
