Esta semana a Decade passou de R$ 10 bilhões de patrimônio monitorado.
Cada carteira que chega é lida por inteiro, pela nossa IA e por um advisor, atrás de produtos com taxas altas, de posições ineficientes do ponto de vista tributário e de riscos que não valem o retorno. Em 78% dos clientes analisados até aqui encontramos pelo menos um investimento que não recomendaríamos manter, com uma média de R$ 50 mil nessas posições.
A procura tem sido maior do que projetamos, e isso reforça a convicção de que o problema é grande. É também um problema que exige atenção. qualidade e respeito. Por conta disso, o ritmo que conseguimos convidar novos clientes é inferior ao ritmo de novas pessoas querendo o produto.
Estamos trabalhando duro para isso deixar de ser verdade nos próximos meses, mas por transparência queremos sinalizar que talvez o seu convite demore um pouco mais do que gostaríamos para chegar. Continuamos dando prioridade para pessoas que já conectaram o Open Finance e para indicações de clientes atuais.
Agradecemos a quem confiou na Decade até aqui.

The current set of AI tools reminds me of the early days of the internet, with its related and/or competing technologies, like Usenet, Telnet, WAIS, FTP, Gopher and WWW/HTTP. Nobody yet knew which would succeed or fail. It was a time of curiosity, excitement -- and nervousness for some.
🦫 Browsing the web in Netscape I just ended up on the gopher:// part of the internet and it's still alive
Gopher is the actual predecessor to the modern WWW, no modern browser supports it anymore
But Netscape does, and there's actually a whole world out there of people still actively using it:
There's live chats, people made gateways to Reddit, and you can the live weather
Around ~1990, Gopher and HTTP were competing who would be the protocol of the web, HTTP won because of its freedom: you could design any interface in HTML without the restrictions of the Gopher menu-based system
And then in 1993 the University of Minnesota (who invented Gopher) really killed it when they started charging licensing fees to whoever used it
In an alternative universe HTTP wouldn't have won and we'd all still be on Gopher, but now there's 8 billion people on HTTP and about 1000 on Gopher :D
It's kinda like the dark web, but in a more happy way, it's this cosy underground part of the web, that takes a shitload of effort to even access, and that makes it more cool and fun and cosy
Just like how the kitchen at a house party is always the best place to hang out, not the living room
Anyway if you do get it working some URLs:
gopher://magical.fish/
gopher://1436.ninja/
gopher://gopherddit.com/

Every business has a core function. Some businesses make athletic shoes while others make wide screen televisions.
What’s become clear over the past week is that many people don’t understand what Banks actually do.
A simplified explanation if you're interested:🧵👇

But never sells them.

As they grow in size, teams within megacorps and startups tend to implicitly bias more towards Project Thinking and not enough Product Thinking.
Product Thinking is a mindset and a process that, once you see, you cannot unsee it.
Product Thinking, Project Thinking, a thread:

3 types of product leaders:
1) The Operator
2) The Craftsperson
3) The Visionary
It is important for you as a startup founder or CEO, product manager, or a product leader to deeply understand these types, as you make decisions on whom to hire or whom to work for.

Excuses:
Successful people don't make them.
It's really that simple.
This doesn't mean everything will always go right––far from it.
It means when things go wrong you pivot, you adjust, you find another way.
What you don't do is blame someone or something else.

Doctors won’t make you healthy.
Nutritionists won’t make you slim.
Teachers won’t make you smart.
Gurus won’t make you calm.
Mentors won’t make you rich.
Trainers won’t make you fit.
Ultimately, you have to take responsibility.
Save yourself.

To celebrate #NuDay, we dug into the archives. Here’s a look back at slides from the original seed pitch in 2013, when @Nubank was still EOS.

working theory that being creative is less about originality and more about having the executional intensity to make many ideas real coupled with a high capacity to resist the fear of humiliation

A good example of form over function, or surface over substance. Did they not test this before shipping it? Also, this kind of sci-fi steering wheel has been tried a few times in the past with very limited success.

For most founders, a “humble” $10M payout would represent a huge windfall after a five-year period.
What is considered a poor showing in VC circles – a $50-100M exit – can set up founders (& their children) for life.
Entrepreneurs should guard this class of exit jealously.

The degree to which you can unintentionally learn by being passively exposed to a subject matter is consistently astounding.
Pay attention to what you surround yourself with.

One thing I’ve noticed since I moved to Toulouse, is that I use social media way less. But I am not alone. Look at these pictures I took near my house. How many phones do you see? My hypothesis is that the virtual space may be a substitute for bad urban spaces, not good ones. – at Toulouse, France
