As 2024 draws to a close and 2025 approaches now is the time to be mindful of what we want 2025 to be for us as individuals and as a Folk united. Typically now is a time when people think about resolutions for the coming year. Think about what they want to change and what they want to try to accomplish. Resolutions are great, but as anyone who ever attended a gym regularly knows, those resolutions rarely last beyond the initial excitement of something new. Well meaning thoughts don't always equal real world action. Far better to be realistic, set attainable goals and then go achieve them. Set meaningful goals..... I want to start living healthier for my children is a great goal. Living a more spiritual life in tune with my Gods and ancestors is a great goal. We create our reality in most cases, our choices oftentimes create our lives. We can either build our lives up as shining examples of nobility or we can turn aside from our destiny and keep wallowing in the mud. As 2024 turns to '25 let us as a folk begin to lift up who we are and become the man or woman who makes our ancestors proud and our descendants raise horns in our name long after we are gone.

The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych. Friday’s performance was part of a larger shift. For the week, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 2%, 2.9%, and 3.5%, respectively. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 230 points, or 0.7%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.3% and 2.2%, respectively. All three indexes began the day with gains before selling off. At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. Two days after Russia invaded Ukraine, an account on the Telegram messaging platform posing as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged his armed forces to surrender.
