Jeff, the founder of Hyperliquid, revealed three key inspirations that drove him to establish the company. Firstly, the decentralized ethos of Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto inspired him to create a neutral, trustless protocol, avoiding traditional venture capital interference. Secondly, the collapse of FTX highlighted the importance of self-custody and decentralization, directly prompting the creation of Hyperliquid. Lastly, he drew inspiration from Amazon and Jeff Bezos, adopting a first-principles approach to build a decentralized infrastructure supporting diverse financial activities. On the topic of the '996' work culture, Jeff emphasized that work intensity should be measured by quality rather than time, encouraging individuals to find their own rhythm and method of engagement.
