RWAs, Gold mines tokenization, and DeFi frameworks that work - full conversation with Kevin - founder of RAAC (Regnum Aurum) It was one of the most interesting and business-first focused conversations I have ever had with a crypto project ... I highly recommend go listen to it. Might be revealing that even in crypto you can build a business-first not just tech-first 👇 and let me know what you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vCs8g_bHNg

AI didn’t replace thinking. It made thinking your biggest edge. The more I use AI, the clearer this becomes: The core advantage hasn’t changed — it’s still about thinking deeply about what you want to create, why it matters, and who it’s for. AI can speed up execution, but more output doesn’t automatically mean better outcomes. More often, it just means more noise. Writers used to think first, then spend hours typing. Now you think first, then spend hours refining with AI until it actually matches your vision. Same for writing ✍️ Same for coding 🤖 Same for design 🧑‍🎨 The tools evolved. The principle didn’t: — Think carefully. — Create intentionally. — Quality still beats volume. So, what are you working on? 🤓

I ran one session with Harmonica - for IYKYK DAO - interesting bot survey process ... this is what I got at the end = not bad 🤓 (the survey was focused on currrent state of journalism and its funding) ------ ☕ SUMMARY ------ Thank you for helping shape our approach to ethical news media Here are your key points summarized: Critical Problems: - News media suffers from misaligned value exchange - local news has high demand but broken economics - Funding from sponsors/state actors serves their interests rather than community needs - Well-funded actors flood the space with AI-generated noise while authentic journalism struggles financially - Global coverage creates unusable noise; actionable local information gets lost Money & Technology Impact: - Deep-pocketed groups (state, corporate, political) can produce fake/AI news at scale - Authentic journalists are underpaid and unsustainable long-term - Technology itself isn't the problem - journalism's failure to focus locally and scale appropriately is What's Working: - Trust and anticipation - people looking forward to and believing what they read - Interesting formats beyond text - Actionable insights connected to what people know and understand - Local focus with clear "so what" - what you can do and how it affects you Engagement Strategy: - Prioritize sponsors/institutions first - understand current system, identify mission-aligned funders for transition - Use same core questions across all stakeholder groups - Talk to journalists next to co-design regional experiments - Let consumers self-select through participation in localized experiments - Keep everything regional/local in structure and focus Your insights will be synthesized with other participants' input to help IYKYK identify the most pressing needs and opportunities for improving news media through decentralized coordination technologies.

TRANSFORMATION is the new EXPERIENCE 🤔 It is a bit of management consulting lingo - packaging something normal into "nicer coat" and selling it as a book ... BUT ... there's some truth in it as well. It's a different angle you should use to look at your product existence outcomes - whether you're builder, creator or artist 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Cold Outreach is something nobody really likes because it sounds like spam ... but you're just thinking about it wrong. It's the same as advertising - if done well - it helps you discover things you need or want with less effort on your side. I.e. everyone is happy! See how to do it the right way in 2026 🤓 https://paragraph.com/@buildbetter/cold-outreach-is-alive-but-for-2026-it-has-changed

Good refresher: when prompting - AIs or Humans - always include constraints and desired outcome 😇

You should be Grading Your Audience inside your funnel and recognize that each of the "5 Levels of Awareness" needs a different approach ... am I right? 🤔

What http://RAAC.io is doing is unique in many ways - especially from Web3 business point of view. But very interesting point that might interest many is that it is template which can be used not just for gold mining, but maybe oil fields or (hot topic) data centers building 🚨 Think about it. How cool and useful is that! Full episode coming on Thursday to BuildBetter YouTube channel 🎥 (link below)

If you're not making daily contact with your fields of fascination - you're not a real builder nor founder. 🙄 The problem you may have is that you didn't make "distribution" - one of your fields of fascination. So you're almost like an artist that's waiting for inspiration that never comes on its own. Every great artist searches for it constantly. You don't need more hours or smarter people or more research; You need smarter set of fields on your "fascinations" list 😉
