Founders

You know what's really annoying about bull markets? 

Y’all start talking about the next hot mint, transaction flows, architecture, etc. 

i.e., shit no (distributionally) normal person cares about, not even remotely.

Born half Venezuelan/German. Moved to Germany early enough to assimilate a new culture, late enough to remain Venezuelan. Purpose entrepreneur.

You guys loose focus and instead of delivering real value to your customers you pivot your narrative and work to infrastructure and focus on delivering value “to the network”… whatever it is. In the end, the network is an ephemeral entity y’all can hide behind. How convenient!

You hope that someone else will crack the code of inventing a “real” use case that will drive users to the network that you can, then, piggyback. 

Real founders focus on the value the create AS PERCEIVED BY THE USER …

Real founders dig deep on the customer’s side until they understand a pain only they can solve. And they build solutions on whatever infrastructure there is, no matter how inefficient it is. 
This is what it means to literally build things that don’t scale! Only then are you allowed to optimise scalability.

This crypto bull market has turned me bearish on the crypto community – with a few, stellar exceptions.

And to be clear, building something for the other dude/tte building another infrastructure piece is just an incestious form of group denial of a simple truth: No one wants nor needs your shit.
