Delusional optimism to the point of living dangerously, a social contract to live rent free from Gods and Governments, the searchers of truth and the deniers of conventional morality, the believers in the power of the few and the revolt of the masses, the realists with a vision unobstructed by virtue judgments, perched precariously at the precipice of knowing too much and knowing nothing at all but nevertheless fueled by the imminent fall AMOR FATI

US equities are a global asset, but access is still concentrated in a few countries. India has 230M+ demat accounts and a deep futures and options culture, yet taking a position on a US stock still means wiring money abroad. @Mochatradeapp lets traders fund in rupees over UPI and get exposure to US companies through perpetual futures, a format close to the products they already trade. Perps are becoming the distribution layer for global markets, and we’re excited to lead the round and back @ichooserain, @theblackmanda and @ParthVader.

Good tech
Great to see USDC in action for founders. Mochatrade received its $500K Y Combinator investment in USDC. Each transfer arrived in seconds, on a Friday evening.
