It’s true. Market validation relative to your stage is going to be a key metric to include in any pitch. The numbers don’t need to be huge if you’re early-stage, but they should show that there are people out there who are willing to pay for what you’re selling

Couldn’t agree more with this perspective. Build for the users you want, not just the users you can get. Your twitter followers using your product does not, alone, equal product market fit.

People in crypto misinterpret @paulg ’s advice about starting with a small niche. They build for degens only. The problem is that the implicit message is “and later expand to a larger userbase”. But the UX in crypto is so bad it literally cannot expand beyond the degens.

It's extremely important that your project has a person who is recognized as a leader in your niche. Someone that is constantly visible and a part of the conversation every day. It doesn't have to be the founder but it does make sense for founders to make it a priority, if that

As a utility maximalist: yes, and memecoins play a not-insignificant role in maintaining consciousness of the on-chain world. Much like public policy, utility is downstream of culture (for better and worse)

speculating on memecoins isn’t adoption. adoption happens when categories of apps like gaming, social, and communication become actually better because some decentralized component improved the overall ux or utility of what existed in the past.
