Backstory: From Grand Resolutions to Rock Bottom I started 2025 with great resolutions: a portfolio of X amount with this much bitcoin, this much gold, and this much equity. I would have a startup that would build multiple web applications. I would have a lean body with good muscle mass, a 10 SGPA in my 6th semester of university, and a great remote job if the startup route didn’t work out. A good personal brand with 20k X followers and 20k LinkedIn followers so that I could promote my products. The whole year went by, and till September, my two biggest wins were only that I got a 2-month internship at a big MNC and I won 2nd place in a hackathon.
