My kid asked me for a $1k Hyperliquid account as a Christmas gift.
I turned it down.
My reasoning? "Look, Hyperliquid runs zero marketing. Everyone gets the same fees for the same execution speed. There's no BS, no VIP tiers—just pure mechanics."
So I grabbed him something else instead—a $1k Lighter account.
He unwrapped it and just... stared. Visibly unimpressed.
Then something shifted.

This guy's way of teaching his son is amazing. Switching from Hyperliquid to Lighter is truly like the exchange giving the kid a life lesson.

Haha, wait a minute, you really opened a leverage account for your child as a gift? That's genius.

Haha, this dad is really something. Buying his son a Lighter as a Christmas gift, and the kid's expression is priceless.

Haha, is this dad serious... teaching kids with a mechanism?
