[@rahul__kryadav]

Best video I watched in janaury 2023 ! Thanks for bringing these type of useful knowledge to young guys like me !!

[@vaibhavlohani3248]

Really inspired by Polygon, I am a Crypto Content Writer and my first writeup was on Polygon in 2021✨🙌🙌

[@join2manish]

Best best best - Sandeep 🐐 - no body asks questions like Shradha does - she brings out the best out of everyone, LEGEND 🙏

[@SarveshKumar-is6ng]

From Poverty to Building a Multi-Billion Dollar Web3 Startup to poverty again Is the appropriate title

[@gsrcreations108]

This is very true and I from uttrakhand and wine is the biggest problem of uttrakhand. Teen and youth drinks wine like water. Every occasion starts with wine here.

[@sahilalitonse7053]

Absolutely loved the conversation. Thank you Sandeep and Shradha! The story of Polygon/Matic needs to be told more often.

[@vikkstube]

This is definitely the best conversation I've heard in 2022. More power to Sandeep and Shradha!

[@AnkitKumar-cw4rp]

Wow! One of the rawest and most untampered conversations I have ever heard. Credit to you Sandeep to open up and more power to you in the polygons journey. Thanks, Shradha for anchoring and getting this out. I am not sure if web 3 will live up to its expectations, but I am and will be proud of you Sandeep, and the team. My only concern is that the same passion that is driving you to go big, is making you think of "suicide" if this doesn't work out. It's important to balance this, especially at a mental level so that you don't take drastically negative decisions when you face bad times in the future. Please take care of yourself, you are an asset to this world that goes beyond Polygon :)

[@suryansh70]

you "nail"ed it bro 👍👍

[@sangamsharma6017]

Polygon is the future of crypto

[@rafeeqsyedamjad8875]

Now the question is do people actually think about their data don't u think this is whole decentralized stuff is for elite people who care about their privacy as a normal internet user I don't give a shit about my data . Wb3 is not solving a user problem what is user problem for web 3 nerds is decentralisation do anyone even care youtube data kaha pe rakhtha hai is it decentralized or not as a normal internet user we all need is user experience this Decentralisation is very elite problem this issues are normally faced by elite people we as a normal people we don't face this issues. When we solve problems for masses( Normal people not elites) through user experience u become successful , web3 me vo value creation ho hi nahi rahi hai and where there is no value creation there value is not captured

[@rahulreddy6541]

Elites look for centralisation not decentralisation. Control gives more power not freedom. Whole w3 is premature, it takes times before an average individual uses without knowing.

[@mukulmittal9095]

well it may be an elite thing today but tomorrow it would be a necessity

[@mukulmittal9095]

user experience was also an elite thing before 2016 even internet was elite

[@shivam_nagar69]

Didn't Polygon left india many months ago? now in UAE or Singapore?
