Muhammad Yunus's glorification of students has been fuelling mob justice on campuses and across the country — there is no better way to put it. In every speech, he is excessively praising the students and attributing them as the sole reason for the fall of the autocratic Sheikh Hasina government.
However, the narrative Muhammad Yunus is peddling is fundamentally flawed. In so doing, he is disregarding the sacrifices of the common people, who had their backs to the wall from the 15 years of kleptocratic, treasonous Hasina government. I can’t stress enough that it was not just the students who ousted the dictator — the sight of the common people who stood shoulder to shoulder with the students or in some cases, as shields to the students, elicited the barbarity of the state forces that the world witnessed. In fact, more common people died than public university students. The brutality of the regime angered the nation so much that after 18 July, it was the ordinary citizens — the poor & the middle class, the private university students, the madrassa students — who carried forward the protests. The students were outnumbered in the protests.
From that point forward, these ordinary people became the flag bearers of the movement, transforming it into a mass uprising. They took bullets for the students. Many impoverished individuals, slum dwellers, and those suffering from skyrocketing inflation marched towards the automatic rifles — unarmed, with bare chests and arms wide open.
Before the students even announced their one-point demand for Hasina's resignation, it was the citizens who first made that call. Hundreds of pictures and videos from 2, 3 and 4 August show ordinary people and civil society members demanding Hasina’s resignation. Without the participation of BNP and Jamaat supporters — who took control of the streets on 4 and 5 August and suffered numerous casualties— removing the dictator would have been impossible.
Mr Yunus's exergerattaed narrative, which gives students sole credit, risks causing great harm to the nation. Ordinary people, already frustrated by mob justice and student misconduct, feel increasingly disenfranchised as students dominate the political scene. The poor and the middle class, the unsung heroes of the movement, who fuelled it with their lives are discovering no change in their circumstances and are beginning to feel betrayed. This is most ironic considering that Mr Yunus earned his fame for his pro-poor activities. By harping on and on that he is here to materialise the students’ aspirations, he is dividing society.
This narrative is also causing long-term damage to the students. Many are struggling to return to their studies or their previous way of life as they get themselves overly involved in the so-called “state repairs”. It’s almost as if these 20-somethings have a panacea for all of Bangladesh’s problems — and only their opinion is valid. While students can play a role in rebuilding, the task of shaping the nation should be left to the experienced, capable individuals — and not those who were beneficiaries of the previous regime.
Hugely bullish on the privacy sector and the @virtualversions roadmap has me excited about the future.
They just announced another new CEX as well as even more product updates.
Don't miss the PrivacyFi train. Very undervalued imo and has enormous upside with clear utility.

How it will Pump, I cant Imagine
After spending every single day for the last two and a half years on crypto Twitter, I've learned a lot about the psychology around here.
So, let me tell you the most important lesson I've learned. This lesson will change everything for you....
Don't take this place seriously👇
If you find a specific account you like, big or small, that gives good advice, feel free to take that individual seriously.
However, never take the general mood or tone of this place seriously.
If you ever find yourself being drawn into the collective psychosis of crypto Twitter, take a step away for a few days.
This place is mental. A week ago ETH was dead, it was all over because it hadn't pumped in a few days. Now it's pumped a little and it's not dead.
How many people do you think sold their ETH because half the numpties on here were mindlessly regurgitating the "ETH IS DEAD" narrative?
SOL has pumped 15x from the bottom so apparently that means it will flip ETH and hit a trillion market cap in 2024. People will sit there with a straight face and type that out. Whenever a crypto pumps it's the best and most revolutionary tech in the world.
How many people do you think leverage longed SOL a few days ago and are now liquidated?
The only way you survive this place is by being your own person. You make a plan, and you execute that plan while ignoring the collective delusion of the week.
ETH is dead? F**k off, I am holding my ETH.
SOL is going to 1 trill cap? F**k off, I am taking profit.
And those are just two of the many, many examples. Every week it's a new nonsensical false narrative that will rek you if you listen to it.
Make a plan. Trust in your plan. And ignore the nonsense!
