Usually that's how it happens.

So you have to find that niche group of people who actually think like you.

And there always is one somewhere.

Look, there was a research by Harvard students one day.

What do you think is the most common?

decisive factor that determines someone's success you know your environment man to me it's environment zip code it's literally zip code and like zip code is a you know synonym of environment it's literally the people you hang out with and that determines where you're gonna end so

When it came to crypto, I actually was part of some WhatsApp groups and like Telegram groups back in the days of people who thought like me and they wanted to make it in this space.

And they were like, this is great.

It's going to work.

And so that just kept me going, even if the rest of the world kept saying, no, no, no, you can't do it.

It's a scam.

It's not going to work.

You know, I had this thing.

I had this support system, the believers.

So it's important to have that.

I didn't tell them.

I come from a very conservative, I'm from Indian descent, right?

And so they saw me working my ass off to break into investment banking, to break into Wall Street.

It's very, very difficult.
