@searchsignal This is ridiculous war in 2022. I'm sorry that the rest of us can't do much to help but send prayers. It is easy to wish someone best on twitter but it is very unfortunate we don't have the power to help you guys. Nevertheless, hope all Ukrainians come out of this unscathed.

@boredgentleman Let’s face it nobody is in NFT for the “art”. All these crazy valuations for NFTs will leave many stuck holding bags. Only whales have the funds to trade. Majority will be left with illiquid jpegs and forced to take massive cuts to exit.

@boredgentleman And let’s also be honest, 99% of NFT players aren’t in it for the community as well. “I am thankful for the communities since I started my NFT journey” majority of the time means “I’m thankful I joined a discord and got others to do research and shill me a project I got lucky on”

@heyeaslo People ignore that @NotionHQ 's core is a relational database management system packaged into a beautiful UI and other no-code features. There is a disconnect. Experienced users underestimate its complexity. New users overestimate its complexity. Creators make it convoluted.

Spending 30-40 years in a 9-5 job isn't the problem. Not exiting with a creator business and personal brand at the end of it is. All that wealth of knowledge stuck only as goodwill. Do yourself a favor. Start creating now.

If you're reading a book in one go. You're reading for entertainment. Not comprehension. Do this instead: 1. Read a chapter 2. Summarize it in your own words 3. Apply it to your life 4. Document the results 5. Read another chapter Study, don't read.

Focus is overrated. Most don't have a focus problem. They have a purpose problem. And how to find purpose? You find it in the indistinct.

@RedGump_01 @cryptopunksbot That’s what people would have said about the Mona Lisa being valued at $100m in 1962. “Dafuq is this? Ink on paper?” It’s now at $800m+. Obviously value is determined by the market not just utility.

@thebrettway Then the product should be released first rather than asking for unregulated funding from the audience to build it. Founders put up capital first to a MVP. If limited supply = limited access to a product that is not scalable. The NFT then becomes the product for revenue.

@amharro 90s Pokémon felt more Metaverse and immersive than anything coming out of web 3 now. Anyone still remember the feeling of trading your Pokémon between 2 gameboys? No one can deny that it felt like their Pokémon was alive going through the cable in another digital dimension.

@tibo_maker 100% disagree. In your world of tech, that may be true when you're just creating a SaaS product. Real-time AI translation will be convenient. But it will never substitute the human connection. And international business is largely dependent on respecting culture.

If you want to get a job, go to school. If you want to be a creator, learn from the creator economy. This is not a dig at those who want jobs. That's just how it is.

Want to build up a habit of content creation? Start tweeting. Do it daily for 2 months. Just 1-2 tweets and engage with 1-2 people. Nothing more. Nothing less. Forget threads. This is the method with the lowest friction. You have no excuse.

A 9-5 job isn't the enemy. The idea of it being the only endgame option is. Don't see yourself as an employee... Be an infiltrator. Go in with the objective of gathering: • Intelligence • Resources • Relationships All while being paid. Don't deal with it. "Steal" it.

@yugalabs Given the significance of the losses, people should be compensated for the opportunity costs as well. We ain’t talking about a few hundred bucks that could have been spent elsewhere. Might have been rent, medical or other more important expenses.

“[insert social media platform] is dead.” Why do you care? Build your owned channels: • Email list • Website • App (if you have one) And wherever the attention is next, use it as a tool to funnel them there. Future proof yourself.

@excelumeohana I’ll always appreciate @francis_oleh for this. He reached out and followed me when I was at 100 followers while he was already at 70k+ Who does that? We didn’t even know each other prior. But we always catch up occasionally in the feed and in DMs. A true G.

You need to hear this: The more time you spend creating content... The less time you spend building a business. Content is just a traffic mechanism. Your business is selling a product/service.

If you don't want regrets in your 30s do these 5 things: ➔ Prioritize your health over aesthetics ➔ Start learning how to invest ➔ Start a creator business ➔ Stop pleasing people ➔ Audit your friends You should be building in your 20s. Not coping.

Dedicating your whole life to your business is the same as getting a job. You're still being a slave to an ideal. A job is an ideal. Starting a business is an ideal. If anyone thinks either is the only path... They still have a slave mindset.

Here is the best tip for showing authenticity: Just be average. People might take this the wrong way... I'm not saying don't have an above-average mindset or life. But don't manufacture it for social media. Show everyone you are a normal person who did a few things right.
