Luca Netz shares his advice for the younger generation
"Understand that your age and being young is such a superpower, because as you get older your tolerance to take risk is exponentially smaller"
"My claim to fame is that I tested out of school when i was 15. So when people look at my success they're like, dude you're so successful. I'm like, yeah but i've been doing this for 13 years. I'm 28 now"
"The people listening don't really understand how important it is to take the information here and take risks"
"If you're not paying rent, you're in such an amazing situation. Now's the time you can take risks and lose it all and keep running it back until you find something"

🚨APTOS FLAW EXPOSING $70 BILLION FOUND BY TWO ETHICAL HACKERS
Two ethical hackers achieved a near 90% success rate exploiting a flaw in Aptos' core consensus mechanism using a server costing just THREE-THOUSAND dollars.
The attack exposed a vulnerability that could have theoretically put $70B in network value at risk before it was patched.
The hack cost only hundreds of dollars to execute, highlighting how a relatively inexpensive exploit could have threatened one of crypto's largest Layer 1 networks before the vulnerability was fixed.
I apologise, we had to block Nigerian residents from the faucet because most of them were withdrawing the $5 that was meant to be for testing the product.
