#India still suffers from the cultural legacy of our #socialist past. We r hobbling towards capitalism, but we need to shed our romance w poverty & scarcity. #Wealth, #money, #prosperity&abundance r good. They don’t happen w/o responsible profit making. Smart risk takers are
Smart risk takers are creators of enormous wealth. In #America we reward & idolize them.Most give away their wealth. This is the secret of American economic might. #India must learn to set our #risktakers free & make them heroes. Their #meteoric rise must be applauded & emulated.
#Web3.0: starting Jan 2009, 1000s of crypto programmers around the world created today’s world of #blockchains#bitcoins & #NFTs. It is finally taking off as car, computer & real estate companies start accepting bitcoins (&other crypto coins) for real goods. #Indian programmers
of course made millions of $$ in bitcoin when it was below $10. Today it is at $60,000 each. Since Crypto is a parallel universe w NO location in ANY country, it cannot legally be regulated by ANY “Govt”. Not even US. If anyone tries extort you, under any pretext, push back!
More importantly, please read the #NFTBible & get familiar w this space. You do not want to miss this boat even if your government is clueless about it.
In early 1990s, #IndianGovt & various other governments tried to ban the Internet when nobody knew what it was. They deprived their nations of unprecedented wealth creation. Today the same #Babubureaucracy is trying to ban or regulate India’s baby steps into Crypto world. This
This is gross negligence. Just because the bureaucrats don’t know what it all means. They will once again deprive #youngIndia of an enormous opportunity to create wealth for the country. I do plan to reach #PM directly to make sure that there are no roadblocks to our baby steps
I do wish that our PM @narendramodi depended less on bureaucrats. In any case #Crypto world is impossible to regulate. Not even by US Govt. It’s a parallel economy in a parallel universe. Just like the internet. Thousands of young Indian programmers have made enormous wealth. If
#ColdWar2 has now begun betn #America & a rising #China. #India & the D10 block of democracies are firmly w US. Even if you hate your current government, WATCH its action abroad. Learn. India, US, UK,Israel, Australia,Japan, France are now powerfully coordinated. We are by far
We are by far the more powerful bloc. But this is changing fast. China Pakistan Turkey Malaysia is a powerful bloc too. Thankfully the US & India have mollified the Arabs, but these are shifting sands. Watch. Fascinating times ahead.
For the first time in history, an aging #America will need #India more than the other way around. #YoungIndia needs to understand all this very very deeply.
Defining moment for my parents was the #1947partition of India into 2. India & #Pakistan. For me the defining moment was #India going to war w Pakistan in 1971 to stop the genocide of #BengaliMuslims by #PakArmy & creating Bangladesh as a separate nation. Kudos to
Modi2.0 has opened up an unprecedented window for India to go global NOW !! He’s done a fabulous job selling India as the next major global power. And rightly so. Diaspora Indians are running major global corporations now as CEOs, CTOs, CXOs.
Everybody in developed countries is waking up to the sheer genius, humility and work ethic that Indians bring to the table.
It’s perfect timing for our businesses with global aspirations to ride the momentum generated by @narendramodi .
