In Osun State southwest Nigeria, a traditional king is defying tradion - by running a free school for underprivileged kids across Nigeria.
King Adedokun Abolarin teaches in the classroom himself, aiming to redefine leadership by offering hope through education.
some Polkadot folks may not like to hear this, but:
price matters. a lot.
"I'm in it for the tech" sounds noble, and yes—resilient systems ARE inherently valuable. this is why Satoshi created Bitcoin: to overcome flaws in the financial system.
but remember: Bitcoin remained largely irrelevant until price crossed certain thresholds.
tech matters because it:
- creates resilience against censorship/corruption
- enables new forms of coordination
- AND drives adoption → creates demand → makes price go up
this is where Polkadot finds itself in a difficult position:
- fell in market cap rankings despite technical superiority
- lost narrative momentum to newer chains
- technical excellence hasn't translated to visible adoption metrics
when narrative winds blow against you, only two things can reverse it:
1. undeniable adoption (TVL, projects, activity)
2. price appreciation (which attracts new attention)
these aren't separate paths—they're a feedback loop.
for Polkadot to reclaim narrative, we need to embrace economic reality while staying true to our technical ideals.
NGMI if we can't translate our tech advantages into metrics the market actually cares about.

Arsenal family ❤️🇳🇴
i will die on the hill that the only trophies that will actually mean anything for Arsenal now are the UCL and PL.
FA Cup won't cut it. League Cup, UEL, UECL, not a single critic will change their mind on Arteta if they win that. None at all
