In life? 1) Lack of defined goals 2) Inability to prioritize long term goals 3) A self-destructive belief that you aren't good enough For your App? 1) feels niche, a team of 3-5 can probably make a living taking a cut of the tips but a tipping app does not feel like a billion dollar co. Plus the FC or Base app could just make their own native tipping feature and obsolete you overnight 2) unless you branch out, your success is completely dependent on FC's success 3) Most internet users are used to the internet being free. Facebook, google, Twitter, etc are free. Noice is successful so far because FC culture is high-trust and collaborative - people want to help each other. But as the core players evolve, the good-will may leave and the app will become PvP like everywhere else on the internet. It's hard to see tipping culture persist in that environment. Also a lot of the success may be from the token association and as there are fewer free tokens it is very hard to keep users because (1) competitors will offer free tokens (2) farmers will move on (3) mindshare is hard to keep. I've watched meta's shift since 2017 and seen a lot of good projects just get forgotten about. You have to be like The Beatles or David Bowie and constantly re-invent yourself to stay on top Disclaimer: i've never founded anything or done anything entrepreneurial. I'm just a doctor who's succeeded by traditional means

whenever the market decides your token is the product and the token price goes down slowly at first, then all at once

Aligning closely with big corporations does not seem agreeable with supporting creators. If you are aligned with companies and investors who must max extract you will end up having to do that too.

The biggest risk i see is the market. The product is great. The market is not. There aren’t that many people onchain with the spending capability and intent to tip. You have to find ways to bring offchain people to onchain tipping. True for probably lot of us here. Rooting for noice P.S. I think you already knew this though.

The product not having a clear usibility. I know you top people, but it is not clear to the most, why that is good and what the utility there for each is. It needs to be easily explained. Biggest break moment for me is the reason why users should gift money to people. Most people in this space are broke af so we need something there. Plus marketing. It is always marketing.

I’ll be All Honest The only reason we fail is not that we are dumb or anything its just Not doing the things we should do The only advise everyone needs is “ Make a schedule , and just do it “

There just needs to be something like clout you gain from tipping. What made NFTs run wild in 2021? Same human instincts will incentivize anything.

I mean likes/ quotes/ comments are meant to be seamless not with a friction. Tipping for liking/ quoting etc? It is a niche. Not every one would do this. You have to be sort of self-aggrandizing to do this. I dont think there is a virtuous cycle that makes me feel good after tipping!

Failure humbles you. It shows you where you went wrong and teaches you how to do things better. The root of most failure is simple, you didn’t know the right way to do the right thing at the right time.

Because we are designed to fail in every single way, over and over again, up until the moment we take our very last breath and our bodies fail us. And at the end of it all, every second we spend here on this rock is all about our failure and our feable attempts to avoid it. So... Jump head first into the ocean of fail. The point of failure was the second you were born. Embrace it. It was almost like I knew Base was going to change the logo to a square, and that damn square would inevitably trap souls in a box. https://paragraph.com/@0x4926876a4be099e9e57daf6b313d8c49427551a7/the-soul-in-the-box
