    If you are a pessimist you will be right, if you are an optimist you will be rich - wow!

    If someone says “we are definitely willing to pay for something of value” ask them. “What do you mean by that?”

    "including crypto stuff"... / Laughs in 2022 dogecoin. Serious question do you regret not staying in the crypto area? Fomo is real for some early 2000s folks.

      No one needs a new Shitcoin but a cool product build on top of Bitcoin would be amazing like Microsofts authentication service.

    Pull reminders has been shut down. He sold it to Microsoft.
    That is good for him. But let's remember that in doing so we are feeding the machine, a monopoly that will eat up and destroy our ability to own our own product and own our own livelihood. Need to measure your own case and make your own judgement.

      yea but this model is unsustainable in the long run, it's just a feature app on a platform. As soon as platform adds this specific feature, you are gone, arent you?

    Somewhat interesting, but his field of business is much different than mine. I sifted out the nuggets where I could find them.
    Being a gen X, I found his way of speech (ending every other sentence in a higher tone, like he is asking a question) is very distracting and somewhat annoying.
