One persona to avoid while hiring for startups is the Smart Skeptic.
The ones with high IQ, great skills but low conviction.
Skeptics sound clever but they rarely deliver..
It is the believers who get results.
Skeptics see walls.
Believers find the doors by looking around the corners.
The smart skeptic is the worst kind of person to have on the team.
They tend to be influential and bring down the cumulative belief of a group.
Startups are an exercise in conviction.
Optimism is a startup's engine lubricating oil.
The belief to pull off something hard and new is a startup's asset.
Skeptics blunt these edges.
Beware.

This N8N Agent Does What Your $120K Sales Manager Couldn't
While you were paying six figures for inconsistent results, this automation was scraping unlimited prospects and creating detailed research reports that actually closed deals.
It doesn't just find leads. It becomes your entire sales intelligence operation.
Here's what this N8N automation does:
- Scrapes unlimited leads from lead sources
- Generates detailed research reports with pain points and solutions
- Analyzes LinkedIn profiles, company data and Trustpilot reviews
- Finds similarities between you and prospects for personalized outreach
- Auto-removes duplicates and organizes everything in Google Sheets
- Responds via Telegram with voice or text commands
- Works 24/7 without salary, vacation or sick days
This isn't ZoomInfo or Apollo with basic filtering.
It's a weaponized lead generation machine that actually delivers results.
While others pay $120K/year for underperforming sales managers, you'll own this system forever.
Comment "N8N" + RT + Like
I'll DM you the complete system
(Must be following for my AI agent to DM you)
Skip this and keep overpaying for mediocre sales performance.

SUPER APP SUMMER
X is building a Super App.
So is Coinbase, Robinhood, Revolut, Kraken, Square, Paypal.
A SuperApp enables:
- Peer to peer payments
- Cross asset class trading
- DeFi
- Alts
- Tokenized equities
The backbone for all of these apps are Stablecoins.
Focusing on the picks and shovels layer is a way to bet on the growth of the Super Apps.
The institutions are here.
Not the JP Morgans, but the next gen players.

whitelist → early access
gas fees → transaction fees
yield → interest
fiat → car brand
It’s time for crypto bros to stop inventing a new buzzword for everything
An important step in that direction is to allow software patents in India. Without that we will always be a country of service providers.

Indian startups need a reality check. They are too focussed on food delivery apps, using unemployed youth for cheap labour - This was Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal's message to Indian startups at the second edition of Startup Mahakumbh 2025 in Delhi. #Watch

India has become the seventh-largest coffee producer globally, with exports nearly doubling to $1.29 billion in FY24. Major buyers include Italy, Belgium, and Russia.
And this is how de-banking happens.
Dear @Razorpay can you please explain what industry @WHR_Loans is part of that you had to debank us? @harshilmathur
Do we run illegal betting, pornography, drug peddling or something similar that you have decided to de-bank us?

Time and again, we've watched private platforms crush innovation at will:
Facebook decimated Zynga overnight with policy changes. Instagram's API shifts wiped out entire photo app ecosystems. Parse's shutdown left 600,000 apps scrambling for survival.
Each time, the same story: Build on a corporate platform, live by their terms - and die by their business decisions.
This is why blockchains matter. They enable truly unstoppable apps - code that runs as written, free from arbitrary platform policies or corporate shifts.
But we need the right foundation to make this vision real. That's why I'm excited about Avail. Build unstoppable. 🚀

Irrespective of your politics and irrespective of the truth in allegations, if you are rejoicing DOJ judicial overreach on #AdaniBribe then you are harming interests of India.
This way any country can create any charge on any company of India on spurious allegations like “hiding bribery scheme from investors” or “violating USA policies” and we’ll be either mute spectators or rejoice depending on politics?Where does that leave us as a sovereign country?
If @EFDevcon devs can’t code a workable mobile browser solution for purchase of their own ticket, should we even talk about mass adoption?
When world runs on mobile, these devs hide behind their 15 inch MacBooks and then we wonder why there is no adoption behind casino.

Nadella had discovered something profound about transformation:
Trust builds slowly. Change happens gradually.
You have to meet people where they are.
This insight extends far beyond Microsoft...

Last week Kraken announced it's launching its own L2.
Today we got news that Honk Kong officials have chosen $ETH to issue their stablecoin on, and Lamborghini has chosen Base to issue a new NFT collection, but this entire website is parroting tales about how "ETH is dying".
