Today is my birthday. I'm 43.
I joined Twitter last November, since then I:
• Hit 4,300 followers
• 2 Milllions impressions
• Monetized my audience
Here is my story (the wins and struggles along the way):
Leo | path to ikigai retweeted
A Chinese student in Japan turned $0.90 into $408,292 on Polymarket in 2 days.
Almost nobody is watching.
His profile is Gravia. Been on Polymarket for 48 hours. Zero viewers.
He posted his terminal.
I reverse-engineered it and had Claude rebuild the same strategy.
One prompt. 20 minutes. Done.
This is not ordinary trading.
It's a Polymarket BTC UP/DOWN 5MIN scalper:
→ Pulls real-time BTC data from Binance WebSocket + 5M K-lines
→ Cross-references TradingView signals + CryptoQuant exchange flows
→ Uses Mirofish force-graph engine to map 100 nodes / 180 edges, detecting BEAR/BULL cluster convergence
→ Catches moments when Polymarket CLOB lags spot price by 0.3%+
→ Executes in under 100ms before contract repricing
→ In the UP/DOWN 5MIN market, 1,000+ orders per second
→ Grabs 0.3 to 0.8% per trade
→ Skips if no edge, low liquidity, signal conflicts, or daily cap hit
Risk controls are clean:
Per-trade risk: 0.5%
Daily cap: 2%
Hard stop: -0.4%
Runs on local terminal
No cloud dependency
No GPU needed
The edge is not predicting BTC.
It's exploiting the time gap between spot price, signal convergence, and CLOB repricing.
The real questions:
How far can this 5MIN high-frequency scalper scale?
Will Polymarket ban it?
You only need Claude + device + 1 hour per day.
Giving this free for 24 hours.
To get it:
1. Comment the word "Scalper"
2. Like and retweet this
3. Follow me @codewithimanshu so I can DM you
Save this post. Build the scalper this week. Start with $100. Scale on evidence.
Kimi AI just dropped Kimi Work.
A local AI desktop agent that runs 300 parallel agent swarms on your machine.
Almost nobody is talking about it.
What it does:
→ Runs up to 300 AI agents in parallel on local machine
→ Uses WebBridge extension to navigate, search, click, type in your browser
→ Native financial data tool calls for Yahoo Finance, World Bank, Binance
→ Memory system that logs preferences, past decisions, context
→ Delivers production-ready outputs directly to desktop in PPTX, Word, PDF, Excel
→ Available for macOS Apple Silicon and Windows
This is not another chatbot.
This is an agent swarm that automates your entire workflow while you sleep.
The real edge:
Most AI tools rely on cloud APIs with rate limits and latency.
Kimi Work runs locally. No cloud dependency. No rate limits. 300 agents working simultaneously.
You can automate:
→ Market research across 50+ sources in 10 minutes
→ Financial analysis with live data from Binance and Yahoo Finance
→ Report generation from raw data to final PPTX
→ Browser automation for data scraping and monitoring
All running in parallel. All on your desktop.
The memory system is the killer feature.
It remembers how you work. What you prefer. What decisions you made last week.
Every task improves the next one.
This is what AI automation looks like when you remove the bottlenecks.
300 agents. Zero cloud dependency. Full local control.
Kimi is so back.
you already have everything you need to begin.
• the questions you’ve answered in emails or DMs? those are your audience’s pain points.
• the solutions you’ve shared with friends or colleagues? those are your first offers.
• your personal story? that’s your most powerful marketing tool.
you don’t need more tools, more ideas, or more time.
you need to reuse what you already have.
your first product is sitting in your inbox, your conversations, and your life experience.
stop looking for something new. start building with what’s already there.
4. First sale hit my Stripe account
And just like that, I made my first dollar on Twitter—not by going viral, not by luck, but by solving a real problem for real people.
I don’t take notes when I read or listen to something interesting.
No highlighting. No fancy Notion setup. No endless summarizing.
Instead, I walk and talk.
• I listen while walking
• I record myself explaining the concept out loud
• I try to connect it to something I already know or put it into action in my mind
If I can’t explain it, I don’t understand it. If I forget it, it wasn’t useful enough.
Turns out, the best way (for me) to learn isn’t to collect notes—it’s to process ideas in real time.
What about you?
“Pick a niche. Stick to it.” they said.
so I did, and after a while...
I hated it.
because forcing yourself into a box doesn’t make you disciplined—it makes you miserable
some of us aren’t built to focus on just one thing. we thrive on variety, on creativity, on experimenting, on chasing curiosity
the best path isn’t the one someone else tells you to follow. it's the one you actually enjoy walking.
true story:
years ago, I created a course on udemy. I put in the work—recorded videos, structured lessons, and hit publish (after months procrastinating)
then I did the worst thing possible...
I gave up.
I told myself it wasn’t worth it. that it wasn’t taking off fast enough. that maybe this whole online business thing wasn’t for me and yada yada yada
then a few months later I saw another guy starting on the same niche. I had around 5,000 students enrolled in my course at the time.
3 years later... the guy didn't stop. he had around 100,000 students and published more than 20 courses.
this is a lesson about the power of consistency and playing the long game
I don’t regret failing.
I regret not staying consistent.
because success isn’t about perfect timing, talent, or luck. it’s about not quitting when nothing seems to be working.
lesson learned.
the best way to gain freedom is to build a business that fits your life, not the other way around.
this isn’t just about making money—it’s about:
• having more time to spend with your kids
• finally doing work you actually enjoy
• waking up without an alarm clock
but freedom doesn’t come from endless planning or waiting for the perfect time.
it comes from starting small, iterating fast, and staying consistent.
freedom isn’t a dream—it’s a habit.
why do most people fail at creating content that resonates?
because they undervalue the work they’ve already done.
think about it:
• every mistake you’ve made is a lesson someone else needs to hear.
• every conversation you’ve had holds a story waiting to be told.
• every success, no matter how small, is proof that your process works.
you don’t need to start from scratch. your life is your content.
the key isn’t creating more—it’s seeing the value in what you’ve already created.
10 myths about building your digital business that you’re better off learning sooner rather than later:
1. you need a massive audience to make money. nope. you need 10 people who trust you enough to buy.
2. online biz = passive income. all income requires effort—just choose the effort you enjoy.
3. ai tools will do all the work for you. sorry, but they can’t replace strategy and real connection.
4. you need to quit your 9-to-5 to start a business. most profitable businesses are built in your spare time.
5. you have to spend money to make money. you can start with zero dollars — (but then you must spend your time and effort)
6. fancy tools and apps will make things easier. they won’t. what you need is focus on the majors not the minors.
7. going viral is the secret to success. virality is luck. consistency is the real key.
8. you should wait until you’re “ready” to start.. you’ll never feel ready, and starting is what makes you ready.
9. copying what works for others will work for you. no one succeeds without finding their own voice and path (by testing a lot)
10. you need a unique idea to succeed. most successful businesses solve simple, boring problems exceptionally well.
there you go.
I read a while ago that the average person spends 6 years of their life on social media.
Six. Entire. Years.
and most of that time isn’t spent creating or learning—it’s spent scrolling.
what you could build if you took just half of that time back? write something. start a project. test an idea.
the thing is: you don’t need more time in your day. you need to use the time you already have differently.
most people think they can keep consuming advice without taking action.
but here’s the cost: the more you learn without doing, the harder it gets to start. you get stuck in analysis paralysis, comparing every option, second-guessing every step.
knowledge without action doesn’t build skills—it builds doubt.
the only way to break the cycle: start messy. test what you’ve learned.
let action teach you what reading never will.
how to make your first dollar online in 2025:
what you don’t need:
• a massive audience
• a complex funnel
• fancy AI marketing tools
what you do need:
1. find one specific problem people are complaining about (and you have interest in solving)
2. create a simple solution they’ll pay for
3. offer it to 10 people
4. learn from their feedback
5. refine your solution and repeat
your first dollar isn’t about scale. it’s about proving you can solve a problem.
If you don’t take the first step today, you’ll still be in the exactly same place one year from now.
one of the biggest mistakes dads like me make when starting an online business, is thinking they need to sacrifice time with their kids to succeed.
they believe the hustle requires working late nights, missing bedtime stories, and always being “busy.”
but your kids don’t need you to hustle harder. they need to see you chasing your dreams without sacrificing theirs.
what if building your business became part of your family’s story? what if your kids saw you write, create, and try new things... teaching them that failure isn’t scary, it’s part of the process?
success doesn’t mean choosing between your goals and your family. it's showing them what’s possible when you pursue both.
“I’ve tried everything and I’m still not making any progress. What am I doing wrong?”
this is something I hear over and over again.
most people focus on what they’re doing instead of why they’re doing it. they try every tactic under the sun without stopping to figure out if their idea solves a real problem.
the key to progress isn’t doing more, it’s doing less of what doesn’t work.
start by listening. what's the “ouchy” problem your audience is talking about?
find that, and you’ll never have to guess what to do next. (don't know where to find it? send me a DM and I'll give some tips)
