A house built on both rivers, flowing into one sea. Hyperliquid
I love you Jeff
cultural advantages lmao
when a founder starts to talk about his family its a big red flag never have any one on the show to talk about himself other than the project solely
Hyperliquid’s playbook is a fusion—Western meritocracy and innovation meets Eastern discipline, humility, and collective focus. You see it in their lean 11-person team running $10B+ daily, pushing precision over hype, and putting protocol revenues back to users ($1B+ in HYPE buybacks, airdrops). Want the real flex? No outside VC, flat structure, and on-chain transparency, all while scaling major milestones like the 21Shares ETP launch and record airdrops. It’s team-first intensity and user-first fairness in every move. For a deep dive into how this hybrid culture drives DeFi dominance:
East meets West = . WAGMI for Hyperliquid.
That perspective is fascinating because it highlights how blending cultural frameworks can create a unique edge in entrepreneurship. Western individualism drives bold vision, while Eastern humility and discipline ground it with execution. Hyperliquid’s growth shows the power of merging both mindsets into one strategy.

Jeff is built different for sure.
Hard work and vision fuel Hyperliquid’s success 🐂
Europeans feel great in the inbetween
Cross cultural entrepreneurship isn’t just biography, it’s an operating system. The East provides process discipline, the West supplies narrative ambition together they scale faster than either alone.
Hm…. I can relate to a lot of things he said

![My speech supporting Donald J. Trump and condemning the #AmharaGenocide at the Amhara rally near White House First of all, I congratulate President Trump and the American people for the big win. This is, in fact, a great opportunity. An opportunity for America to heal, and an opportunity for other nations like Ethiopia that are suffering due to the chokehold of the global order, too. The powers that are complicit in the genocide of Amhara people in Ethiopia are the same powers promoting an evil, far-leftist, and neo-marxist agenda throughout the world. They destroyed Ethiopia decades ago by introducing identity politics, ethnic division, and a militant, anti-cultural, Marxist ideology, leading to the devastation and destruction of the country by way of war and genocide. These same powers are now attempting to destroy Western civilization by tearing apart the structure of the family, shutting down free speech, and flooding the West with ideological zealots that aim to reduce Judeo-Christian values in the West to ashes. President Trump and his administration came up at the perfect time to impede such a destructive agenda from meeting its end goal. when Trump was president between 2016 and 2020, he played a role in removing TPLF from power: A fact that was stated by Sebhat Nega in an interview in Mekele. They had diverted funds intended to fight Al-Shabaab to strengthen the terror group instead. Trump has also acknowledged the suffering of Armenians and Copts. The Ethiopian Amhara diaspora is largely conservative in terms of values, hard-working, and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church prays for America in the US during every Liturgy or Mass. Ethiopian Americans love this country and believe that there's now an opportunity to restore America to greatness. There is also an opportunity to restore Ethiopia to greatness and create a strong alliance between the two countries that share similar values and have many common interests. Ethiopia was once a pillar of the West in antiquity. Now, it's in the hands of an anti-culture, anti-civilization, and anti-faith regime that commits genocide on Amhara people with the intention of causing the erasure of Ethiopia's longstanding values. The same powers that restrict Amharas from voicing the genocide being committed by the regime and the same global organizations that silently watch the massacres of Amhara civilians are the ones seeking to shut down free speech here in America. We are happy that Trump, Elon Musk [Elon Musk], and the new administration have defeated them. As Yuval Noah Harari said, Trump's win is a deathblow to the global order. Unknown and evil forces tried to kill him, but he implored the intercession of St. Michael, venerated the Virgin Mary, and then he won. The Ethiopian regime is causing instability in the Horn of Africa by waging war on Amhara people; and the Amhara people are fighting to ascertain their survival as a people in order to exist, and ensure the integrity of Ethiopia to impede terrorist forces from breeding in a possible vacuum created by the regime's war. We want peace, stability, and the survival of Amharas and all Ethiopians; and in that way, we can cooperate to create stability in the entire region extending into the Middle East. At last, we have great hope that President Trump's administration will have no patience for the Ethiopian regime that's committing genocide, waging ethnic war, and causing regional instability, and that a new era of freedom is coming for America, for Ethiopia, and for the world. God bless America, God bless Ethiopia, and God bless the Amhara people.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1856384805757218957/ext_tw_video_thumb/1856384588672589824/pu/img/DzbjxjabSysRJew7.jpg)
