Conclusions from 28 years' search for meaning:
1. Invest in multiple sources of future income early for F U Money
2. Spend majority of time doing fun+worth-it stuff - eg redoing finances with

or building
@ETHKL1
3. Pay things forward
My approach to personal budgeting 🤓
Based on the words of 2 wise men:
#1
: "Your money isn't only your money" - Abah.
Luck, opportunities, teammates all play a part in what you make. A portion always belongs to others, society and your future self
if anyone's curious what kind of questions Etherscan deals with daily or why support takes time to get back to you...
probably hundreds if not thousands of these in a day 😂

The moment we went 2-0 down and Ultras started singing Inilah Barisan Kita - genius move. No way the players didn't get moved by it!

: This quote from Li Ka Shing ⬇️
Divide your income into 5 parts:
A. Living expenses - 30%
B. Making friends - 20%
C. Learning - 15%
D. Overseas holidays - 10%
E. Investing - 25%
First they backed my setting up an Ethereum community, and I was glad. Then they hosted this lone traveler for a distant Devcon, and I was grateful. Then they called about joining, and all that was left to do was go say yes!
Proud to be a part of
@etherscan
😁
To be clear this is not how Etherscan conducts itself - sorry. The team works hard to stay nice and be humble, and has been that way since before I joined.
Which makes it all the more disappointing to see the gaslighting thrown at it.
There is a nice way to growth hack, folks.

I didn’t say anything through the blatant copying, the dismissive demeaning, and the shortsighted grave-dancing.
I didn’t say anything when the site DNS was suddenly switched earlier than the agreed 30th date, with no thought to inform us.
Not now.
waqf as commons
asnaf as guilds
hawala as debt servicing by guild members

We're pleased to announce full DNS namespace integration to ENS is now live on mainnet! 🍾🍾
This enables a DNS domain owner to import it for use on ENS.
Those following ENS know this has been a long time in the making. 💪

Hey Brantly, some comments:
1. The stream was brought to our attention a day before the deadline. I personally missed the detail on a $3.6 million cap, apologies for that.
2. Etherscan has added tremendous value to ENS since the earliest integration in 2017.
Extremely grateful for the chance to host and learn from great minds in crypto at

Sorry all, had a junior member of the team tag addresses based on project docs and they tagged the 0x000... address based on Reflexer docs without realizing it's not used by Reflexer alone. Fixed and will remind the team to be more careful.

Complete outsider view - don't think he's been worse than most. Felt like he was in the crosshairs from the start due to being from bersatu and an 'islamist'.
Overall feels more disheartening for non-career politicians who just want to work for public good.
@najibfazail
Trading bots can be useful but expecting 8% a day groo from it = rekt. Stupid high returns come with stupid risk.
Also be clear that you are trusting the bot owners with your money. They can run away if they want to.
Can try LP in DeFi for non-margin high return plays.

Have you reached out to anyone at Etherscan?
Can you point to where the team hasn’t collaborated when asked?

In case it helps - setting up a watchlist for your validator on can inform you when validator is getting penalised. Works similar to

Good summary of scholars' positions on crypto. Conclusion: they need to understand the technology better so as not to come across as ignorant.
But glad to see more interest from the Islamic Finance space. They'll realise it's much closer to Shariah than fiat money is!

apologies for this all. we do have this note that shows up when user clicks on an ENS name tag, and the 3rd line only for cases like this. but clearly most users won't find their way here + the name tag in From and To should indicate this in some way
will work on a fix pronto🙏
I think Mark’s been consistent in his views about DOGE as a fun coin to play around with, not to put life savings into.
Is it his fault that humans like to blow things out of proportion on social media 🤔
@EpsilonTheory
…until they crash, get bailed out and are subsidised by taxpayers?
People like me think it’s akin to the car industry figuring out seat belts are a necessity and will be something we develop best practices for over time. Will see how it pans out!

Check out what’s going on in Decentralized Finance if you can. It may majorly disrupt finance as a whole. Currently in it’s early days average people globally can already profit from being lenders, market makers on exchanges, capital providers for insurance. All fundamentals.

One possibility: culturally the Malays as a group were much further behind the Chinese in concepts like assets vs liabilities, time value of money, etc. This handicap leads to Chinese segment quickly gaining economic control in society.
4. Zakat: 2.5% of income to those in need is a must for all Muslims. I work in crypto - so I pay more 🙈
5. Travel: Less emphasis on 'overseas' and more on 'experience' - ie something new like flyboarding beats touristy "Selfie at Eiffel Tower" trip
