It’s crazy people waste their human existence trying to copy/replicate what you do It’s not even a scratch These people just … don’t exist
look at aura by @zachpogrob the man is obsessed with his product. you think someone copy pastaing a shit version of his app can put a scratch on his personal brand and momentum? obsession is the moat

I’ve argued before Anthropic must not IPO on its current metrics. The bottom line is simple- The might of American capitalism rests on a sacred social contract: if humanity must bear its risk, the public must also share in the prosperity, not just pay for it. My thoughts below:

i am somewhere in the middle i see both side of the argument but leaning more towards the fact that retail doesn’t want to trade these things. most trading features are simply still too adversarial for a mainstream audience. i think it’s dangerous to assume that just because the tools will be made available -> this will automatically lead to higher retention. casino's work because you sit down (digitally or physically), you spend a few hours, you get euphoria and depression cycles, psychologically you feel the ups and downs. i also think gambling is a bit more honest, almost anyone would sit at a slot machine and spin it once, but not everyone will use a brokerage account to invest in a company the people who sit at a slot machine expect to lose their money and understand they’re buying an experience (mostly), the people who buy stocks / memecoins expect to see their money go up trading doesn’t appeal to normal people the same way gambling does even if we (CT) understand that trading is largely gambling.
agreed ppl seem to still not understand that "trading" is lame as can be to 99.99% of non-finance people (aka the people who power a social network)

we are all born geniuses, wild and clear. then they teach us knowledge and fear. that’s why i respect the people in the arena. these are the brave ones overcoming that fear to reclaim their genius, and fulfill their destiny.

This post is a little more of an off-the-cuff riff than my typical article but i really think we've just seen a structural change in the market & it's time to stop fading china

Almost everything in crypto that failed the first time will eventually work sometime in the future. Bitcoin looked like it had failed many times in the past. The same will happen with NFTs, creator tokens, DAOs, gaming, TCRs, onchain reputation, rebase tokens, decentralized storage etc As time passes each of these ideas will make even more sense. I just think we’re still too early for many of them, and we don’t quite understand the need yet. But eventually it’ll make sense.

think about relationships, where ur rough history messes with ur head. u been hurt, burned by trust, so now u keep ppl at arm's distance. convinced that history will repeat. this armor u carry. shield of "what's safe". but its blocking out everything worth feeling, all the wild crazy experience that u cant plan. market doing the same. huge life altering moves for waiting for anyone gutsy enough to look past all the bullshit. but u prob too haunted by the past to believe its happening now. the real risk is holding onto yesterday so tight that it might strangle tmr chances. the reward is for those who drop the armor and lean to what it could be. one life.

i will always say this. The creative adult is a child who survived. U gotta save ur childhood self. He/she what's keepin u sane. Don't let culture disorientate you or "recorrect you" and make u lose sight of ur childhood by teaching u to blame it. It will steal the magic from ur mind
Funny how you’re young and full of so many ideas but lacking skill As you get older you gain skill and the ability to become technical at anything But the desire and creativity wanes with age if you’re unlucky. Takes a lot of work to stay young.

There’s lot of opportunity in just doing the things nobody wants to do, and just building the relationships nobody wants to build. Seems like a failure of economic principles, but really it’s because we are herd animals and nobody wants to take the lonely path even if lucrative.

reminder that if you never trigger people, never attract haters, never face any form of resistance, you’re most likely playing it too safe or living far below the version of yourself that you were meant to become in this lifetime growth creates contrast, and contrast gets noticed abundance-minded people naturally trigger scarcity-minded people because they operate from completely different assumptions about what’s possible (might sound woo-woo but i’ve come to see it as one of universe’s natural balancing forces) not because they hate you personally, but because your presence reminds them of something they’re avoiding in themselves for many people, it’s easier to call someone cringe than to admit it requires a level of courage they’re unwilling to embody a lot of people interpret resistance as proof they’re doing something wrong when in reality it’s often the opposite the moment you raise your standards, leave toxic environments and habits, start operating from abundance, your decisions become a reflection of decisions other people aren’t making that’s when the subtle jabs and negativity start people who supported you when you were still an abstract idea become uncomfortable when you start becoming living proof don’t take it personally hurt people often hurt people as coping mechanism people who are focused on building their own future rarely spend much time trying to slow someone else’s over time you’ll naturally find yourself surrounded by supportive, ambitious people with similar standards only people who see your growth as proof of what’s possible rather than a threat to their own if you start receiving irrational hate when all you’re doing is growing, building momentum, and helping others along the way, treat every bit of negativity as a test of whether you’ll stay committed to your path when the noise starts getting louder every new level comes with new resistance, so embrace it and keep moving forward eventually, you’ll wake up one day and realize you’re too far ahead to even hear the noise anymore

genuinely your competition right now is retarded, old, or is in it for the tech (retarded). a conservative 95% of the people u see on twitter right now cooking 'dystopian tech' are equivalent to the dudes in the late 70s wiring Apple I computers to LEDs in the garage to get away from their wives those guys are still broke losers today. there is not competition right now. social media makes u feel like there's a giant gap between u and the people 'cooking' because they pride themselves in their technicality. steve jobs couldn't code nigga
very interested to see the temperament of next class of wealthy elite. so many that are in their late teens-twenties right now are going to hit ridiculous licks messing around w AI over the next 2-5 years, tops. kids who grew up on rap music cod and dank vapes are gna be influential at half the average age we see today. greatest time to be alive.
