"Half genius"? - That's enough!
It seems that the founder of a successful startup has to be a generalist. He must be fluent in programming, sales, copywriting, recruiting and many other skills. While such people do exist, they are extremely rare. But what if you're only "half a genius"? If you're only great at one skill, does that mean you should forget about startups? Or should you start learning something you're not so good at? However, two "half geniuses", each in their own field, can form a full team capa...

I’ve been using Metamask for ~1000 days
I’ve been using Metamask for ~1000 days now as the only wallet I started with and I suspect that I’m not alone. I wanted to write a few comments (pros and cons) about them, but I thought it would be better if Metamask improved its super mega popular crypto wallet with: 1/ Explanation of the difference between the "Approve" and "Permit" methods in the context of cryptocurrency transactions. 2/ Issues with the Metamask interface, which sometimes fails to display the necessary data when signing ...

If your product isn’t great, make it so!
If you feel hesitant about selling, don’t be shy. There’s no shame in selling something excellent. And if your product isn’t great, strive to make it so! One of the YC partners points out, ’The biggest marketing mistake startup founders make today is writing landing page copy and sales letters as if it were the last century,’ gradually building an argument from a distance and only arriving at a meaningful conclusion at the end. It should be the opposite. Start with the strongest conclusion, t...

If you don't know what to do, don't do anything!
Researchers locked students in an empty room with no windows, computers or telephones for 15 minutes and asked them to sit quietly and just think about something. There was a special button in the room and the volunteers were warned that if they pressed it, they would receive a noticeable electric shock. 12 out of 18 male students (67%) pressed the button one or more times and received an electric shock. One man even pressed the button 190 times! Of the 24 female students, only 6 pressed the ...

The founder starts to learn how to push his product
The founder starts to learn how to push his product. And for some, it works. But after a while, customers realise they've been sold something they don't want - and stop paying for it. The long-term success of a startup, however, depends only on customers who pay regularly, either through subscriptions or regular purchases. It's like compound interest on the idea you invested in the startup, like money in the bank. First you get interest, then interest on interest, and so on. So...
