Most people think launching in crypto is hard or only for insiders. @Orynth changes that. WUAP went from a 10-year idea to a live market in a day—showing how easy it is to launch, get support, and even see real upside early. It’s not just hype—it’s a new way to fund and validate ideas in public. If you’ve got an idea, just launch it! Carlos has made over 2k in one day! What's your excuse?

I was invited to launch WUAP on @orynth. I’ve had this idea for almost 10 years, and now with AI it finally feels possible. Since being in SF, I’ve felt the energy to build something of my own and bring this vision to life. WUAP is a consumer personal finance app for LatAm savers. Our vision is to build an AI financial coach that helps people better understand their money, save more, and prepare for the future inside the crypto ecosystem. I’m using Orynth as a crypto launchpad, similar to how builders use other platforms to get early support while building. There is a market associated with WUAP on the platform, and like any crypto asset, it is volatile and carries risk. WUAP is designed for the crypto environment, and support here helps fund development, licenses, certifications, and product progress.

@lottsnomad Proof of work is the only signal that actually answers the real question.

the entire hiring industry is built on a false assumption that you need to know someone for a long time before you can trust them with real work so the process gets stacked with proxies: cvs, recruiters, interviews, reference checks, and trial periods each step is supposed to reduce risk but most of the time, it just delays the moment of truth a good interview tells you someone interviews well a strong cv tells you they know how to position their past a reference check tells you they found people willing to say nice things about them none of that gets to the real question fast enough: can this person perform? that's the problem hiring is one of the biggest decisions a company makes, yet the system is still designed around indirect signals instead of real evidence that’s the shift we care about at grade we believe the future of hiring moves away from credentials as the main signal and closer to performance itself less time spent guessing more time spent measuring what someone produces away from proxies and toward proof because the goal was never to run someone through the longest process possible the goal was to figure out, as quickly as possible, whether they can actually do the job

You can vibe code a full app in a day now. You still can't vibe code a reason for someone to care.

I keep talking to founders who've never heard of YC, don't know anyone in venture capital, and have never written a line of code. And yet.. they're building better vertical software than 99% of silicon valley founder I've met. Almost all of their stories start with "this process is so broken I can't take it anymore." Blue collar builders build because the pain is personal. Every single one I've talked to built the thing they wished existed for the last 10 years. They just couldn't before, but now they can. The thing I love most about AI is that it's turning workers into founders. Frustration is the most underrated founder quality. And the trades have more of it than any industry in America.

@lottsnomad Yes. Execution on a proven idea beats a brilliant idea half-committed every time.

stop you don’t need a breakthrough idea you need the conviction to go all-in on something that already works

there’s a moment in every startup where it feels like nothing is happening you’re shipping you’re posting you’re talking to users and nothing moves then one week something clicks more signups bigger customers better conversations and it feels like it happened overnight it didn’t you just stayed long enough to see it bend

@hthieblot The companies that make it 30% of the interview loop now will have a serious talent advantage over the ones that add it to the job description in 2027...

6 months ago, you were a boomer if you weren’t using AI daily. Now you’re a boomer if you’re not using agentic workflows or AI super-assistants. 90% of people in tech are boomers suddenly, crazy how fast it’s evolving. Companies should make this 30% of the interview loop.

nobody’s gonna tell you this, so i will. building a business is a beautiful thing. but it breaks the moment you do it for anyone but yourself. if you do it: - for ego - for approval - to get into YC - to impress your high school bully you lose all leverage. it's really simple, just build something you enjoy waking up every day and making progress on if you do this, everything will click into place in a way that is far bigger than dollars.
