He started off his day with wrestling practice. Then full body massage by a pahalwan
Could eat a cooked whole goat in a single meal. Then could also eat 50 mangos. Then around 20 coconuts and a few litres of milk.
Before wresting used to practice with a "mugur" ( weights) for a hour to get his body ready for the rigours of wrestling.
When he spoke out against the superstitions and fundamentalism of hinduism , was threatened that he would be murdered. His well wishers advised him to be careful . He used to laugh and say " They live on rice and bananas, they don't have the strength or courage to take me on"
Wrote extensively against Muslim fundamentalism too and got on the wrong side of Islamic brigade.
Later went against Christian fundamentalism too 😄
A person who could recite the 7 kandas of Ramayan from memory, a person who learnt Hebrew in 3 months to read Bible in its original and defeat a Christian bishop in open debate is no normal human .
He was equally fluent in Persian, Latin, Greek and Hebrew other than the standard Sanskrit and English ( Bengali was still not a written language)
He wrote a book in Persian with a forward in Arabic, it's still considered an important historical document.
He founded schools and colleges which are in existence even today.
( I studied in one of them paying college fees of Rs. 7 per month)
He is known as the first " Modern man" among Bengalis, the father of the Bengali Renaissance.

Happy birthday Sir, they don't make men like you anymore 🙏

~Raja Ram Mohan Roy (1774-1833)
BTW, he also started the first Indian newspaper in any Indian language. His forays in journalism also covered a Persian journal called Mirat -ul-Akbar
He promoted the pure ethical Vedanta school of philosophy. His setting up the Vedanta college was aimed at promoting subjects like Mathematics, Geography and Latin which, he felt, were necessary to help the Indians keep pace with the rest of the world.

Will start this thread with a disclaimer. I have never invested a rupee in cryptos 😀

But I have studied bull and bear cycles and financial bubbles extensively. Saw 1992, 2000, 2008 with own eyes. The first one as a novice, the next two when I knew to analyze
The amount of chatter I am seeing in friends, family and social media about cryptos has gone through the roof. For everyone, it's a dream to make 100x or even 1000x easily. Basically, become stinking rich easily
( it never happens )
In any financial bubble, the top is made in extreme speed and violence. The distribution happens on the way down. Unless one saw the rates of 65k on bitcoin, one wouldn't buy at 30-35k or 20k. That 65k is an anchor point which leads to greed

BNF #positional_analysis

COI has risen yesterday, suggesting a single day long buildup.
A series of lower highs and lower lows in place on BNF. Supports mainly coming in around 30900 levels ( why ? see the pic )
For any bullish/long views, BNF must close above the 32200-300 region. Until that, major trend is bearish
A close below 30900 with some more rise in COI can take BNF down to 29600 levels ( as the long COI will then be trapped). Intraday traders should watch 31300 breakdown as the first signs of trouble. Only a close > 32300 will break this bearish structure
