Went to my son's career day yesterday
The teacher said each parent gets 3 minutes
I asked if there was a hard stop or if this was more of a "suggested timeline"
She said 3 minutes
The dad before me was a firefighter. The kids loved it. He brought a helmet. Let them try it on. Very theatrical.
My son whispered "don't worry, you're going to do great."
I wasn't worried. I brought a pitch deck. Objects aligned perfectly horizontally and vertically.
14 slides. One appendix. Two scenario analyses. A waterfall chart I stayed up until 11pm simplifying so a 5 year old could follow the value creation framework.
Slide one: "What is a CFO."
Slide two: "What is EBITDA."
Slide three: "Why EBITDA matters."
Slide four: "Why adjusted EBITDA matters more."
I lost the room at slide one.
One kid asked if I help people. I said I help companies become more efficient. He asked if that means I fire people. I said no, we right-size.
He started crying.
The teacher stepped in. Said maybe we could do a Q&A instead. Great pivot. Very collaborative.
A girl in the front row asked what I make. I said Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint decks. She said "my mom makes cupcakes." Different verticals.
My son stood up and said "my dad makes companies worth more money so the people who own them can sell them for a lot of money."
Dead silence.
The teacher said "that's... one way to describe it."
My son said "it's the only way to describe it."
I have never been more proud of anything in my entire life.
I told him that in the car. He said "thanks, can we get Chick-fil-A."
My son asked if the expense was tax deductible.
One could argue I'm teaching my son more than the teacher.
We got Chick-fil-A.
Plz fix. Thx.

Like most problems in Nigeria, the situation about power in Nigeria is a cyclicality one. It will be very hard to solve and it is a policy problem.
To start with, if you want to know whether a good or services should be paid for by the government or individuals, you must first assess what type of goods it is - is it a private good or is it a public good?
If a public good, wherein the consumption of one overlaps withe the consumption of another entity, then yes the government needs to intervene. Ideally, it is that your consumption does not reduce mine, and it is hard (or impossible) to stop people from benefiting.
But if a private good, wherein its consumption is exclusive to an individual, then individuals need to pay themselves. The intuition is that if you consume it, I cannot consume the same unit, and I can be excluded if I do not pay.

Been rocking this dex for a while, testing it day in day out with swaps, giving out invites and letting guys know even at its BETA stage, it's already one of the best dex in Solana.. While doing that...
Here are my achievements so far
✅✔️ Crossed $200k volume with collossus badge to show for it

Someone believed it's going to takeover Jup in near future but we'll see.
My experience in this beta
- Txs being front-run
- Signing a quote with another approved.
Hopefully, they'll fix it before the end of Beta stage but I can't deny the immense growth from the team @Titan_Exchange
Keep firing things up!
