Not sure how accurate but interesting 🧐
So much stimulation out there, I don’t remember the last time I was bored 🤔
When you know the fiat value of bitcoin just by seeing your default zap value 😏
Would be cool to have a platform to watch starship launch and chat via nostr!
Sorry, I did it wrong.
BREAKING! Bitcoin Magazine commits brand suicide.
{no link shall be provided at this time}
😂 ok… I’ll let it go now, couldn’t help it.
So… bitcoin magazine has destroyed their brand too now.
Who is next?
It’s not enough to be a good product manager, designer or developer to build a business.
Build it and they will come is a great fallacy.
The most telling qualities of a person who succeeds in building a startup are
1. Perseverance
2. Focus
Everything else is just a bonus.
Shipping super fast is also a factor. People who ship imperfect products for immediate feedback do better than those who wait to get everything perfect. MUCH better.
Be fast, try stuff, don’t give up and don’t get distracted = win.
Good morning ☀️
Test
I don’t think even paid subscriptions are going to cover the costs of development on Damus.
We may get half of a percent of users to pay monthly, but then you have to consider all of the clients trying to stay afloat, file hosting services and relays.
Unless the network scales significantly I don’t see how subscriptions would be viable.
What am I overlooking?
Work in progress
Here I thought all the Japanese users were only talking to themselves. Seems it’s a Damus bug and there are actually replying 😆
Scenario: genera ai is here. You have 2 options:
1. Augment yourself to get to the same or higher level of intelligence just to survive.
2. Remain you, without augmentation, knowing that you’ll likely become endangered and ultimately extinct.
What do you do?
Making a little side project / product - pfp placeholders kinda like robohash. Not sure if anyone will want that though. Making for fun nonetheless.
Youtube algorithm uses watch time as an indicator of whether something is interesting to people. Naturally, people make longer videos, even when a short one would have been sufficient to answer a query. Algorithms literally waste away human life. It’s not that they are bad by surfacing information, but they tend to favor metrics such as time on site, watch time, etc.. anything that keeps people hooked. I dunno about you but I think this is evil. Everything is designed to appease the advertising overlords. For what? To buy some wasteful thing you’ll throw away anyway? Waste of life, waste of resources, waste of time.
Part of why I nostr is because it’s not every day you get to be one of the first few to shape the base layer of the new internet. This is a once in a lifetime thing if you missed round 1.
Gn everyone, have an awesome day! 👋

Most original product ideas are bad ideas.
The fact that they are original means they are either just poorly thought out, technically unworkable, difficult to make a profit with, or some other hidden factor that hasn’t been considered.
The odds are not in the maker’s favors.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that they are terrible ideas - many of examples of that being false, but the odds are tiny that the idea is workable.
A few easy ways to check if an idea has legs:
1. Does it get searched for? Search for your product term, see who is ranking and what they’re selling.
2. Are people paying for a similar product to solve what your produce solves? (Competition is good)
3. Ask people to pay for it before it even exists. If the product idea is great, people should be able to pay for it (maybe even at a discount) for it to be made. You can run a pre-sale and collect authorized but uncharged commitments - then try to push a v1 asap).
