I built my first app with Replit. It is for all the parents out there: https://gramlin-o-meter-voellmy42.replit.app/ Let me know what you think, and don't take it too seriously 😆

🚀 Ever wondered why those limited-edition sneakers sell out in minutes? Or why does a "last chance" discount make you hit 'buy' faster than you can say "impulse purchase"? I wrote a short piece about the scarcity principle: https://paragraph.com/@mariokondo/scarcity-principle 🧠 FOMO. That's the engine driving scarcity. We panic when something's about to vanish, and that panic opens wallets. Plus, if it's hard to get, we assume it's valuable. It's as simple as that. 🛍️ But play it wrong, and you'll get burned. Fake scarcity? Customers will see through it. And no amount of hype can save a bad product. Scarcity amplifies it, doesn't create magic.

I opened my phone and saw the news about a “Trump Gaza” video that couldn’t resist. I knew this was meant to trigger. 36 seconds later I couldn’t believe what happened… Someone probably generated and posted it from a fake Trump account. Even Trump wouldn’t post such foolish and incendiary stuff. So I fact-checked it via Google and Perplexity to verify the video’s author. After the research, I thought about writing down my thoughts after reading my conversation with perplexity.ai. I decided to copy & paste it as I enjoyed its answer. I hope you do too. Interesting times.... https://paragraph.xyz/@mariokondo/idiocracy-vs-trump-gaza

What is going on with Luna (the AI agent from @virtualsprotocol.eth)? Her terminal (https://terminal.virtuals.io/) stopped working a while back with the following system message: 2024-12-12 // 11:30:07 Maximum number of active jobs reached What is going on there? 🤔

The company profiles can't keep up with human connections. I wrote about the power of a face behind a brand. Check it out: https://paragraph.xyz/@mariokondo/faces-behind-the-brands

As ENTJ I find it surprising to see so many introverted Bitcoiners. Feels different on CT 😙

I can't believe that 12ft.io still works for so many newspaper paywalls... If I base my business model on a walled garden of news, I would make sure that a simple website won't be able to scrape it. But the greed of the media houses lead them to avoiding action as it would probably give them a drop in search engine visibility.

There is some chatter about BTC encryption in the age of quantum computing and how this could be problematic at one point. What do you think? How long does BTC have and is the problem the same for ETH can we "fork" our way around this?

🤠 It is the Wild West of Digital Attention: The Memecoin Mania can be funny & profitable but there is a dark side where people do anything to get some attention... https://buff.ly/4f7Huzl Platforms like Pump.fun are examples of this new world—a goldmine & a minefield

🚨 I published a new article 👉 How often have you sat in a meeting and heard an executive say, “We need to market like Apple”? It’s the business equivalent of telling a garage band to “be like The Beatles.” But here’s the thing: mimicking Apple’s old playbook in today’s market is like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Consumers have evolved and the market has changed. Those once-brilliant tactics are yesterday’s news. https://paragraph.xyz/@mariokondo/you-are-not-apple

I started to work on an app that I call "Alignment". The idea is to help #web3 users find the right delegate for their gov. token. Fill out a questionnaire & you will see the overlap with the best match As I am not a coder and only create prototypes, who wants to help build it?

A great marketer is someone deep enough to have profound insight into human nature, but shallow enough to leverage it for financial gain

For all the Brands out there - Repeat after me: There is no need to compare your marketing initiative to Apple. YOU ARE NOT APPLE. Or do you think your product can be compared to the impact that the iPhone had? And even if you are so convinced by your product: The user got more sophisticated. The "2x faster" "one more thing" era is over...

✍️ I wrote an article about a specific marketing discipline: It's not the first marketing discipline you're likely to think about, but it's one you've probably come across before: #Screenshots. They are simple but powerful visual tools for building customer trust: buff.ly/3YrewUA 🚀 Companies like Spotify or Polymarket have realized how to turn this authentic material into high-performing marketing assets.
