Every lie is actually two lies: 1) the lie you’re telling the other person 2) the lie you told yourself about why you need to lie

Bitcoin disappoints both optimists and pessimists
10 years ago, Netflix spent $0 on original content. This year: Netflix: $11B Apple: $6B Disney: $1B + amazon, hulu HBO etc. = $20B+ Here's a crazy startup idea to take a swing at this $20B+ content piñata. 👇 Here's a quick business plan 🤔

The easiest way to get customers will be Google Ads, Yelp Ads, and offline stuff like flyers or partnering with moving co's In most cities, there’s nobody advertising for the keywords “moving bin rental + [cityname]” eg. miami, the company advertising doesn't even serve Miami! pic.twitter.com/DlmQCS7aw3

Here's a lesson on how to do cold outreach right. Don't ask someone for "coffee" or a "quick 20 min call" (or worst of all - "to pick their brain". You brain pickers stay away) Here's an example of how my cousin hustled & got connected with @chamath

Bitcoin is either priced 100x too high, or 100x too low. We'll find out in 10 years.
