Some of you may know this (already), but I've been exploring new product, gtm, and growth roles in a few industries (including crypto).
Over the last few months, I had a cringeworthy experience with a founder (to keep it kosher, I won't doxx), who made a stated preference to move forward with an offer. Who has since dragged his feet, created excuses for delays, and then ghosted for a month+… Not cool, right?
In this world, some founders value their time more than others and think they have the appetite to bite off more than they can chew. These folks often waste a lot of other people's time on conversations that go nowhere, simply because they don't have their shit together.
Remember, people's respect for their time is a direct reflection of how their operating principles, mutual respect and overall professionalism. This company is Series A (Pantera-led round) valued at over $200 Mil.
This is what gives the crypto world a bad rep and it's hard to not see it as a massive red flag of how they do business in general. When their stated and revealed preferences are so divergent, be wary, friends. 1 reply

@balajis.eth and @ted do raise a great point.
What if users started to demand qDAU metrics, not just for users, but also for time spent around healthy content and unhealthy content … Quality time spent is a big missing north star metric across the board
As a dad, my mental model is PBS Kids (edutainment) > Cocomelon (mk ultra singalong crack). As a user, I see Farcaster > X, because my cup is always filled here and always feels drained there
Our global mental health is part reflection of positivity bias or negativity bias. Unfortunately, very few people actually use the Screen Time limits on their phones, touch grass, enjoy real dopamine hits, and there's a lot of perverse incentives around synthetic dopamine hits and the celebration of being terminally online. We often bow to false prophets.
A lot of traditional social media preys on negativity bias because ad models requires more page views and that sort of engagement creates this needed supply (to monetize more eyeballs). I say, fuck that shit. 1 reply
