Founders

Outlier success often comes from non-consensus bets. Saying you don't see any billion dollar companies around as why it's not the place to build means 1) not considering potential future growth 2) looking for consensus to make a decision

Your examples: Coinbase made a big bet on bitcoin before there were billion dollar companies around and Phantom did the same for Solana ecosystem

"You as a founder have to believe in something that you think is lower-risk than the rest of the market. If the rest of the market believed it was lower-risk, somebody else would have already done it. You have to be ahead of the curve and take that risk. That's your comparative belief advantage." — @rish
