Everything will work out as it should

@Joshl2lp Bro had to fight for basic dignity before he even got the chance to fight for anything bigger

For most children, drinking water at school is something you never have to think about.

For B.R. Ambedkar, it depended on whether the school peon was there.

He could not touch the water himself. The peon had to pour it for him, from a height, so that the vessel would not be polluted by his touch.

If the peon was absent, Ambedkar simply went without.

Years later, writing about his childhood, he reduced the whole experience to four words:

“𝗡𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗻, 𝗻𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿.”

He was also made to sit apart from the other children. The cloth he sat on had to come from home because nobody wanted to touch what he had touched.

This was the starting point.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱.

Ambedkar spent the rest of his life proving that it was wrong.

He was born in 1891 into the Mahar community, one of the communities placed at the bottom of India's social hierarchy. His father, Ramji Maloji Sakpal, had served in the British Indian Army and believed strongly in education.

So Ambedkar studied.

He made it through Elphinstone High School and Elphinstone College at a time when simply getting an education was already an achievement for someone from his background.

Then, in 𝟭𝟵𝟭𝟯, something happened that changed the scale of his world.

A scholarship from the Maharaja of Baroda sent him to 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 in New York.

There, Ambedkar studied economics, sociology, history, philosophy, anthropology and politics. He studied under thinkers such as John Dewey and was exposed to an academic world far removed from the restrictions he had known growing up.

He eventually went to London too, studying at the 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 and training at Gray's Inn.

It would be easy to look at that journey and think the problem had been solved.

It hadn't.

When Ambedkar returned to India in 1917 and took up work in Baroda, his education could not solve something as basic as finding somewhere to live.

𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘄 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁.

That experience mattered.

Because Ambedkar was beginning to see that escaping your own circumstances was not enough if the same rules remained in place for everyone else.

So he stopped trying to simply rise above the system.

𝗛𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀.

In March 1927, he led thousands of Dalits to the Chavdar Tank in Mahad.

The tank was a public water source, but Dalits were still prevented from using it.

Ambedkar and his followers drank from it.

The response was violent. Dalits were attacked, and opponents later attempted to purify the tank because they believed the water had been polluted by their touch.

Ambedkar did not treat the incident as something that could simply be forgotten.

That December, he and his followers burned the 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝘀𝗺𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶, a text he regarded as providing religious justification for the hierarchy he was fighting.

The fight was no longer only about access to a tank.

@Joshl2lp I think the biggest competitor isn't Ethereum. It's Bitcoin holders simply doing nothing with their BTC

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@SammyfxOG1 @Stacks The self-custodial staking part is probably what interests me most. How exactly does the BTC stay on L1 while still earning?

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@0x_Rutger @blueshift @SuperteamNL Good breakdown of why transaction-level thinking matters.

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

Been exploring @xento__ lately and honestly, I like the concept.

You complete quests, contribute content, make referrals, spin daily, and even make predictions, all while earning points.

It feels less like farming random rewards and more like actually participating.

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@Joshl2lp This makes me wonder how different Bitcoin would look if even 2 or 3% of its supply became genuinely productive capital.

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@Joshl2lp @debar The outcome says NO, but I’m curious whether you’d make the same trade again with the information you had then.

[Josh @Joshl2lp]

If you’re looking at the NectarFi leaderboard right now, YES on @debar probably looks ridiculous.

He’s nowhere near the top, while the leader is sitting around +39%.

I still took the YES.

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@Joshl2lp @Nectar_finance What’s your exact side and size? Asking for a friend who is also staring at the board

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@the_first_guz @Nectar_finance @PantaHQ The leaderboard could make this trade look brilliant or terrible very quickly.

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@the_first_guz @Nectar_finance @PantaHQ This adds another layer to the NectarFi competition.

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@Joshl2lp This is why collecting personal stories is useful. Statistics can show the scale of the movement, but they can’t really explain the decision behind it.

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@scotty_jnrr @superteam @SuperteamCAN @TXODDSOfficial This could be the perfect opportunity for someone looking to make their first contribution to the Solana ecosystem.

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@the_first_guz @vel0citymarkets @superteam I’d love to see a full season leaderboard for people who consistently make good predictions.

[Guzman 🔰 @the_first_guz]

It was British Grand Prix weekend, and like every other F1 fan, I already had my predictions before the race started.

This time, instead of leaving those opinions in my group chat, I put 0.1 SOL behind one of them on @vel0citymarkets.

I wanted to see whether a prediction market could actually make race weekend more engaging.
Here's how it went. 🧵

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@Collinscre33812 Thanks bro, I will💪

[Timmy @Jx_Yern]

@ehigie_glo77819 The truth is that the developers who adapt will use AI as leverage and not see it as competition.
