Meeting a War Legend: A Rare Moment With Retired Major General GD Bakshi Year 2014
Some moments in life arrive quietly yet leave a lasting imprint on your thinking and values. One such rare moment came in November 2014, when I met Retired Major General Gagan Deep Bakshi. He is a decorated Indian Army veteran, respected combat leader, author, and widely known military and war analyst. Today, he appears regularly on national television discussing wars,…
Growth rarely announces itself loudly. It shows up quietly—one reader at a time, one country at a time, one request at a time. For NextStruggle.com, 2025 was exactly that kind of year. In 2025, NextStruggle.com quietly evolved into a global chronicle, capturing technology, memoirs, social observations, and lived experiences through my #AskDushyant lens. What started as a personal…
Reflecting on 2025: A Year That Quietly Changed Everything
Looking back at 2025, time felt unusually fast despite a calmer and less stressful lifestyle.Work never truly stopped, but the pressure softened, creating space for reflection and presence. Life reminded me that busyness does not always mean progress. Sometimes, stillness carries deeper lessons than constant motion. Fatherhood: Learning Life Again Through Small Eyes This year revolved…
Riding Through Fog and Darkness: A Harley Davidson Memoir from NCR to Indore
BikeRide, DelhiNCR, Gwalior, HarleyDavidson, Madhya Pradesh, MotorcycleDiary, NewDelhi, Solo Ride, Yamuna Expressway, Year2025On 15 December, I set out on one of my most audacious adventures, riding my Harley Davidson from NCR to Indore—over 850 kilometers in a single day. This long-distance bike ride tested every rule riders usually avoid. My ride began in winter fog, racing uncertainty about reaching on time, a firm decision not to postpone,…
Crypto security rarely fails because cryptography is weak. It fails because attackers understand human behavior better than most users do. In my 20+ years in the technology industry, I’ve learned that most security failures don’t happen because cryptography is broken—they happen because human trust is. Fake crypto apps and wallets have now become one of the…
Cryptocurrency ownership rests on one fundamental principle that never changes: whoever controls the private keys controls the money. Everything else—apps, exchanges, dashboards, and interfaces—is merely a layer of convenience. Hardware wallets exist to ensure that this control remains firmly in your hands, secured offline and beyond the reach of digital threats. Over my 20+ years in…
Entering the crypto world often starts with a wallet. But many beginners make a critical mistake: they assume one wallet can support every blockchain. The reality is different blockchains operate on independent networks, use different address formats, and rely on unique transaction rules. Sending crypto to a wallet that doesn’t support that network can result in permanent loss of funds.…
Cryptocurrency adoption continues to rise, and more users are stepping into the world of digital assets. One of the first decisions every beginner must make is choosing a crypto wallet. The right wallet ensures security, convenience, and access to key features like token trading, NFTs, and decentralized apps (dApps). For over two decades, I’ve been…
Web3 is transforming how the internet works by enabling user-owned digital ecosystems powered by blockchain technology. Developers with modern skills in crypto, blockchain, smart contracts, and decentralized applications (DApps) are in high demand. Earn lucrative income through direct crypto payments, open-source grants, and startup roles. This 30-Day Web3 Developer Roadmap provides a complete learning path.…
When Ethereum officially completed The Merge in 2022 and switched from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), the crypto mining world felt a massive shock. Billions of dollars in GPU mining infrastructure suddenly became obsolete overnight. Many miners asked the same burning question: Is crypto mining dying? The reality is more nuanced. Mining isn’t disappearing — “It’s Evolving”.…
For over twenty years, I’ve led technology innovation that scales securely across industries. When I first encountered blockchain, what fascinated me most wasn’t cryptocurrency—it was consensus. How can thousands of computers that don’t trust each other agree on one shared global record? The answer lies in consensus mechanisms—cryptographic rules that ensure every transaction is valid and the…
Blockchain mining represents one of the most fascinating engineering challenges in modern computing. Inside every mining operation—whether it’s a home GPU setup or a warehouse filled with specialized machines—powerful hardware runs nonstop to secure decentralized networks like Bitcoin and various Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies. But what exactly happens inside a mining rig? How does this hardware generate hash…
Blockchain introduces a new economic paradigm—where network participants secure and operate decentralised ecosystems in exchange for real financial incentives. Many people know miners and validators “earn crypto,” but few understand how those rewards work or what risks they take. For over two decades, I have engineered scalable technological systems and helped organizations navigate emerging digital economies. In this…
You often hear about miners solving puzzles or validators staking tokens to confirm blocks. But here’s the surprising truth: Miners and validators do not control the rules of a blockchain. Full nodes do. For over two decades, I’ve been deeply engaged in building secure, scalable digital systems that power real-world innovation. One design lesson has…
Blockchain remains one of the most important technological breakthroughs of our era. At its core, the security of Bitcoin’s network is ensured by an ingenious mechanism known as Proof-of-Work (PoW). Although widely discussed, the actual process behind mining can feel mysterious or overly technical. For over two decades, I’ve worked across transformative digital technologies—driving scale,…
Among the most groundbreaking advancements I’ve witnessed is blockchain. It removes centralized control and replaces it with distributed trust at a global scale. But how do blockchain networks actually stay secure without a single authority in charge?. For more than two decade, I’ve engineered scalable systems, led digital transformation initiatives, and guided businesses toward secure…
Blockchain networks are now becoming a core part of that transformation. But even as adoption rises, one persistent frustration remains: Why does one crypto transaction confirm instantly while another leaves you stuck waiting? For over twenty years, I’ve led innovation across enterprise technology, championing scalable design, high-performance systems, and future-defining digital products. For above query,…
