I just cloned myself...as a newborn
With this clone, I can:
+ become my own blood boy
+ test therapies on the clone
+ grow organs for transplantation
+ develop new treatments
+ inject young cells
This baby-bryan lives in a petri dish for now.
This may be scary to some people…a dystopian future. But, for others, they will see it as the inevitable future of health.
Clinical trials are already using this technology to restore dopamine neurons for Parkinson's, heart health and eyesight.
The process
> blood draw
> my cells were extracted
> yamanaka factors applied
> reset epigenetic age
> restoring them to an embryonic-like state
Why?
> these cells are now pluripotent
> can be differentiated into hundreds of cell types
> i.e. neurons, cardiomyocytes, retinal cells, etc
> allowing me to rebuild my body
> organ by organ
> repairing lost eyesight or hearing
> restoring kidney, liver or lung function
> repairing skin damage
> there’s no real limitation in imagining
> my body will accept them bc they’re my cells
> foreign cells are at risk of being rejected
As cells age, they accumulate epigenetic errors compounding into dysfunction and disease.
This technology gives us a path to reverse aging.
I mentioned getting diagnosed with an incurable disease is one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time. It’s opened up a frontier of new paths to repair and strengthen the body. This is the first example.
I’ve talked to 3 hardware entrepreneurs in the past week who aren’t filing patents because it’s a “instruction manual” to be ripped off by the Chinese.

"How did you make $45M?"
I was early to the memecoin cycle in 2024.
After making my first $100k, I allocated 20% of my portfolio to $POOPCAT and the rest to $WIF.
At ATHs, these positions were up 350x and 48x, respectively.
Of course, I didn't sell the exact top. I roundtripped a fair amount of UPNL gains.
$POOPCAT was ultimately a loss after took on the role of its market maker, pumping millions into the chart.
After that, I began working for @pumpfun.
My investment in an early round as well as the equity I received for my work was worth 8 figures following the $PUMP TGE.
$TRUMP was another huge win, as well as the entire summer '25 crypto bull run (around when my portfolio ATH was marked).
That's where the tide turned though.
My portfolio started slow bleeding. Crypto was getting weaker as retail rotated into AI stocks.
October 10, 2025 was the nail in the coffin.
From there, I took heavy losses on leveraged altcoin trades, buying tops on worthless shitcoins, getting farmed, etc.
All I wanted was $100m, and ironically, that brought me to where I am today.
My manager paid ₹1.5 crore for a 21th floor flat.
He sold it after 4 years.
Yesterday he told me everything. And he was ANGRY.
High-rise flat owners will NOT want to read this.
Reason 1 /13
They told me higher floors have no mosquitoes. Biggest scam ever.
Concluding a very productive visit to Italy. My discussions with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni covered a wide range of sectors. A key outcome of the visit was our decision to elevate India-Italy ties to a Special Strategic Partnership, which will add new momentum to our cooperation in the years to come.
I thank Prime Minister Meloni, the Government of Italy and the wonderful people of Italy for their friendship.

Just found that some random guy from India had got 15cr in $HYPE crypto airdrop in 2024.
FYI, Hyperliquid has still 38% of tokens reserve for future rewards.
What's is stopping you from trading on Hyperliquid if you are in crypto.
I met a well-known real estate developer this weekend and he told me that he is worth over $100 million, I asked him how liquid he is. He told me he is two months behind on his kids tuition.
