If you want to better educate yourself on banking, money, economics, and payments, I highly recommend watching the documentaries below.

A 🧵 on the best-related documentaries...
Four Part Series. This is Part I.
At the age of 40 I was dead broke. Like penniless. Moved back to parents house & rather than soak in self-pity, I disappeared from the world for about a year. Learned a new skill. Not penniless now. You know you want to do it, so just go ahead and do it. You owe it to yourself.
In six months you could be a programmer. Don't need to pay for courses. Just need a will to change your life and be able to give the finger to all those who doubted you. In 6 months, you can tell them to F-Off... Learn to code for free here:
Not going to name. I asked an influencer here who says 'follow these steps & you will be making $10,000+ per month'. When I asked him if he has done this himself? He replied: Yes! When I asked for proof of income for 3 months. I got blocked. Bhenchod! (that's Urdu for wtf).
I happened to get started in payments & banking, because the technology company that I had founded, went bankrupt. Totally broke. For many years I told people, I decided to move on. That's not the truth. We were as broke as fuck by 2008. By 2010 it was time to packup.
The coming months (if not a couple of years) will not be easy financially. Rather than sh*t-picking on your favorite political party. Focus on yourself. Build yourself a reliable source of income, preferably multiple streams. Again, preferably, passive income. Focus!!!

It has been 2,073 days since I quit
#smoking
#coldturkey
. After smoking for approximately 33 years. Best decision I ever made. You can do it. I went from 30 cigs a day to zero. You know you want to quit, and there is no "one-day"; it is always today!
Please stop glorifying working on a Saturday. Even attending events or conferences. You may be off, others are not. It makes it normal for Saturday to be a work day. Should be criminal to work on a weekend.
If there is ONE thing you should definitely do in life repeatedly. It is to support a small business over a large corporation. You have no fucking idea how much your sale means to the small business.
My good friend Zain Polani and his wife and three kids were on the plane that crashed. No news on their status. Hoping and praying for the best, but who am I kidding. Devastated.
One of the goals this year is to spend 2-3 weeks in Svalbard.
Did you know, ANYONE from the world can go there? No visa is required (albeit you would need one if you fly via Norway). It is the only place where anyone is welcome to stay as long as you can afford it.
1st of July is approaching fast. There is still 6-months left to do something this year. Read 20-25 pages a day and you would have finished 10-12 books before the year end. Also disappear for 6 months and learn a new skill. You can still do this.
Read something beautiful today: There’s really no shortcut to forgetting someone. You just have to endure missing them everyday until you don’t anymore.

Going to publish something that you would love for the boost of the USDC ecosystem. Will be sharing the details with you very soon.

@AliAbdaal
Circa 2008 or 2009, these two Australian marketeers (aka hustlers) taught an online course. The 30-Day Challenge to make $1. Probably the BEST course ever taken. And it was 100% free. The course is still there on the Internet/YouTube as an Archive.
Say a prayer. My friend Zain Polani, his wife, and their three children perished in today's plane crash in

Trying to make a very comprehensive PDF / Slideshow / YouTube Video on this subject. Will try to cover the gaps, especially for high-risk countries or countries at a disadvantage.

Four Part Series. This is Part I.
If you are an employer who does 5.5/ 6 days work week. Please don't. 5 days only. Give your employees Saturday/Sunday off! If you make them sit after 5pm, don't that is NOT yours to ask. Yes, my friends hate me for saying it.
The Veto power must be abolished in the United Nation. Five nations cannot hijack the world and play with bullying tactics with the remainder of the 235 countries and territories.
The first dollar is the hardest. It gets easier from there onward. E.I.D. (Earn in Dollars). I'm on a forever quest to motivate and guide people to earn their 1st dollar. Especially women.

What amazes me every single day are the brilliant people who have found a particular niche in working on the internet and that puts food on their table. Bravo!
The ICO for
@BIOKIdentity
, a company I am advising, is now live. Biok wants to create a future without passports and passwords. A person will be able to confirm their identity by the very fact of their existence with the help of biometric data.
@sentosumosaba
@Ripple
Ripple had to get those licenses, because regardless of the status of the case, the fiat component (on-ramp/off-ramp) in which Ripple can play a major role for issuance etc. would come under money transmission and this is why they ended up getting their licenses this year.
It is no secret that SBP plans to offer 2 small digital banking licenses (retail only) and 3 licenses (digital + corporate). Existing banks debating the nuances of a digital banking license.
I'm not going to be sending my daughter to school this fall. The school insists it will be 'okay' they will take 'maximum' precautions. I've seen the school, the bus ride, etc. No thank you.
10-15 years ago,
#paypal
in

was super essential for
#freelancers
, etc. Not any more, today a wide variety of payment options are available. Fuck you PP.
Payoneer was the first international client that I introduced to
#Pakistan
amongst other markets. They (
@Payoneer
) are (were?) at the forefront of payments in Pakistan when it came to freelancer payments.
Why

To everyone asking. All is good. We are totally safe. The earthquake happened in a different region. Thank you for checking in ❤️
Prayers for those who perished and for those who are affected by this terrible disaster.
Of all the online learning courses I have taken, over the next few days, I will list/share some of the best ones I have studied (for free!) and it really, really, improved the bottomline.
Finally finished 40 Rules of Love. I read it slowly and many-a-times re-read specific chapters. Such an excellent book. My only regret was to read it so late in life. If you haven't read it, please do so.
Don't be jealous of a 20-something being more productive & knowledgeable than you. Or making more money than you. This is how the world rolls. Respect it. Appreciate it. Internal jealously and hatred are your own insecurities.
I mean a lot of them say, I coach 'billionaires' - when asked whom? You get blocked! I write every day! Where? Blocked. I made millions from content writing - give me your examples and bank statement - blocked? I will teach you this and that? do you know this and that? blocked.

As someone who works with
@Jay_SpendDBits
I can tell you the US market is NOT off-limits for STB. We are actively working with licensed partners to be able to transact legally in the US. The SEC Lawsuit has no bearing on this issue. This is an MT Licensing issue.
It just dawned upon me, so many people have lost their siblings and like me (I lost my sister) went into a serious depression to fight off the loss. May we all heal well. Talking helps. Seriously. So does medication. Seek both. May they rest in peace.
No amount of words can explain the resilience of the Turkish people. Day and night, 10,000s volunteers are working to rescue people trapped under the rubble. Some of the videos will shake you to the very core of your bones. Say a prayer for the departed souls and those affected.
The initial days, when I was starting out "again".
Dead Broke at the age of 40.
Did a career recalibration.
Retooling myself.
Everybody laughed.
Many, many people wrote me off.
But I kept my head down and hustled.
Hustling for every Dollar that cam…

Proud to be launching Cryptocurrency Exchange-as-a-Service

--- affordable crypto currency exchange you can launch and run. The whole nine yards.
I got asked as a Zoom fucking meeting, what my pronouns were, I had zero fucking clue what they were talking about. Like zero fucking clue. 1st time it EVER happened to me.
Want to get smarter? Just read 20 pages a day. 10 in the morning and 10 in the evening. You would have finished on average about 15-20 books a year. Don't tell me you can't read 10 pages at a time?
Why the fuck do you sensationalize professional life that you have to be a superstar, with a startup, and make a successful exit. Most people don't want to do that. They are in a happy place already? There is NOTHING wrong in being average.
As a result of a transformer malfunction at one of our locations in Lahore, some of our valued customers may face temporary service disruption.
Our teams have completed major restoration and services will be fully available shortly.
We deeply regret any inconvenience caused.

A friend of 25-years accused me of wearing the "slave" mask, amongst other silly remarks on vaccination. Took me 10 seconds to let go of our friendship.
#COVID19
is very real. Masks and vaccines are very much necessary.
@jehan_ara
Not cool. That time is theirs. Under peer pressure and out of politeness they probably cannot decline. This is the thing with being an employer, knowing what is your time and what is theirs. This is clearly their time.
