Guess what USD<>ARs rate you get on peanut today? 1503.90 - 6% less than with card payment. Not only that, but a lot of places offer 10% discount if you pay with Peanut! Save 16% https://x.com/AriEiberman/status/1975884614888816749

one thing i realized between the friends circle and network is that suddenly many investors and VCs are turning either a builder or an operator. 🧐🧐🤔 Are times changing, seems like we entering the bootstrap era?

if you’re building on fc - be it a mini-app, client, or whatever - please do everyone a favor and tag yourself and your founding team in the project bio. don’t make us work to figure out who you are, esp if you’re doxxed. makes you a million times more credible and the transparency makes it easier for users to do DD. i’m far more likely to not engage with something if i can’t easily figure out who built it. conversely, i'm incredibly likely to at least dig in more if i see: names i recognize, low FID, mutual connections, etc. i’m always so surprised at how many projects don’t do this, cuz the R:R is so high.

Reality is a personal construct. You can bend it to your will. https://whatnow.com/san-francisco/restaurants/clayton-farms-salads-planning-first-bay-area-site/

Something I’ve observed a lot: If you can’t do more with less, you will probably do less with more. We don’t want to believe that being lean is a superpower (bc if so, landing a magical check won’t save us). But… being lean is a superpower.

One of the hardest parts of being a founder is deciding when to double down on something that hasn't fully cut through vs shifting focus towards something that feels promising but has no immediate tangible data to prove it'll work There's a constant balance between trusting your gut and intuition and also staying focused and executing on what's already in motion

Sometimes you don’t wait for the meeting… you make it happen. A few unanswered DMs later, I showed up to Christopher Okada’s office uninvited. Elevator opens right into the bullpen. Everyone looks up. “Who’s this guy?” No appointment. Just belief. Weeks later, we sat down and he said something that stuck: “What do I need to do right now to make money?” From DMs to Real Life — Week 21. Next stops: Dallas, Nashville, and Atlanta. Who should I meet next? 👉 gabeeinhorn.beehiiv.com

So proud of the brand we built with @shira! If you’re a community builder on farcaster, there’s no better way to recognize and reward your community with @giftr. https://www.heygiftr.com

That feeling of having a dozen move-the-needle things that you are dying ship, but only being able to focus on one or two at a time can feel very frustrating. But it's 1,000x more fun than the opposite, ie, just not knowing what's worth building next. I've come to savor the former as a "great problem"

Launch day fades fast. What endures is the moment you first captured mindshare.

TBT to that time Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph gave me the best advice I ever received when we just started @coinage to revolutionize media (again) "The technology is going to change. The market is going to change." Sometime's you're ahead of the market. Luckily, the time for Creator Capital Markets has arrived.
