[Live Law @LiveLawIndia]

#BREAKING Chief Justice of India Surya Kant refutes reports that he refused to list petition against police action on student protests.

CJI says there was no petition filed in the #SupremeCourt, and a lawyer had mentioned only a letter representation. CJI says it was irresponsible and reckless reporting by the media.

"In last two days, a completely false statement was made that a matter was filed, and the media is absolutely free from all responsibility, falsely reporting that Chief Justice refused to list the matter. Till morning 10 AM, not a single page has been filed. It was one representation..sent by that Mishra or someone. How can I treat the representation as a writ petition? And people start recklessly reporting this," CJI says.

The 1995 film “HEAT” does not need to be found or looked for.

It comes into a young man’s life at exactly the time he was meant to see it.

Liquid is going to be much bigger.

Let's start with the problems first.
As a trader, you want exposure to markets, that exposure is gated by different exchanges, geography based restrictions, and regulations that can change any time.

1. CME and COMEX restrict futures. Unless you are in the right zip code and pay the data fees, you can't touch the order book.
2. Stocks are gated by a different exchange that needs a different onboarding process.
3. And this hassle multiplies when you factor in that every country has their own markets.

TradFi restricts access

Enter: CFDs.

CFDs come in and let you speculate on all these assets on a single platform. But it has one major flaw: you're trading against the broker, there's barely any regulation, they are hunting your positions for liquidity, spreads are terrible.

Trust collapses. Problem still exists.

CFD's give you access but no trust.

Enter: Decentralised Exchanges.

They use a public unmodifiable ledger to make execution transparent and ensure your positions can't be tampered with — all of it enforced by code so you don't HAVE to trust ANYONE and you can just trade peacefully.

But now, you have markets that have fragmented in a different manner.

Different decentralised exchanges run on different technologies, have different assets you can trade, different strengths/weaknesses, different onboarding processes.

DEXs give you Trust and Access without UX.

Enter: Liquid.

Liquid sits above these exchanges and routes your orders to the best one for that particular trade. It abstracts away the routing and execution of your orders so you can focus on the trading.

Liquid gives you Trust, Access and UX.

Liquid is not a "DeFi" company.
It's a natural evolution of financial markets.

anyone looking for something to read after seeing this tweet — read essays.
they improve your reading comprehension, and allow you to read widely while still maintaining depth.
if you're looking for a concrete starting point, read 'Politics and the English Language' by George Orwell. good stuff.

[Gurpriya @GurpriyaSidhu]

Consuming knowledge, wide and deep, makes you out-think everyone.
But practicing your knowledge gives you new knowledge and that makes you out-run everyone.

Do this in a loop and you will be unbeatable in your field.

we need to move away from 'x amount of money is not enough' discourse. one could replace 2.5L here with any other number and the math can still make it look like it is not enough. this conversation leads to nothing but fear-mongering and anxiety among adults trying their best to lead a dignified life

People think ₹2.5 lakh/month in hand is freedom.

Let’s do the math in an Indian metro.

₹2,50,000 in hand

₹60,000 rent (decent 2BHK, not luxury)
₹20,000 groceries + food
₹15,000 utilities, internet, phone, maintenance
₹20,000 parents support / family obligations
₹25,000 school fees / education planning (or future EMI buffer)
₹15,000 transport, fuel, cabs
₹20,000 medical, insurance, emergencies
₹15,000 social events, festivals, gifts
₹20,000 basic investing (EPF, MF, NPS)

You’re left with ~₹40,000.

That’s not freedom.
That’s just a small margin.

And this is without:
• Home loan EMI
• Kids’ coaching / college planning
• Aging parents’ medical expenses
• One bad health year
• Job loss buffer

In Indian companies, ₹30–40 LPA sounds huge on paper.
In real life, with a family, it mostly buys stability, not freedom.

Freedom is:
• 12–18 months runway without stress
• Ability to say no to toxic work
• Medical issues not wrecking finances
• Choices driven by values, not EMIs

₹2.5L/month is a great milestone.
But don’t confuse comfort with independence.

Change your goals.
Build assets, not just income.
Learn skills, earn, invest, re-invest.
At least that's what we do at @0xffdevs
