How do you onboard 1,000,000,000 people when you ignore the 10,000 that are still here?

How do you make progress by replaying zero sum games solved in 2017?

How can you call these experiments when there's nothing new in the equation?

For sure, the product that worked well for 10,000 users is almost completely different than one that serves 1b

These are just such entirely different orders of magnitude though

That's fair, though with enough cynicism I think that 10,000 dwindles down to 1,000 to 0. To which you have to reemerge as something totally different to disassociate from the past.

if you're solving a big enough problem, pre-existing users don't matter

give me something real like a project coin

I don’t really know what to think about all this. I just know that I really appreciate a lot of people among the 10,000 you mentioned, that’s why I’m staying. As for the rest, I don’t think I want to stress about it anymore. We’ll see how things go 😉

How do you document real life when real life’s getting more like fiction each day? 


Sorry, could’t help myself.

Valid point. It seems like we’re just rehashing old ideas without addressing the foundational issues or the core community that’s already here

Hmmm.. I really don’t see the ignoring part of it since I got here. 
What fresh perspectives do you think could shake things up?
