Good Products are Opinionated. “Every great founder I’ve seen up close, or even from afar, is highly opinionated and they’re almost dictatorial in how they run things. Also, early-stage teams are opinionated. And the products they build are opinionated. Opinionated means they have a strong vision for what it should and should not do. If you don’t have a strong vision of what it should and should not do, then you end up with a giant mess of competing features. @Jack Dorsey has a great phrase: “Limit the number of details and make every detail perfect.” And that’s especially important in consumer products. You have to be extremely opinionated. All the best products in consumer-land get there through simplicity. You could argue the recent success of ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots is because they’re even simpler than Google. Google looked like the simplest product you could possibly build. It was just a box. But even that box had limitations in what you could do. You were trained not to talk to it conversationally. You would enter keywords and you had to be careful with those keywords. You couldn’t just ask a question outright and get a sensible answer. It wouldn’t do proper synonym matching, and then it would spit you back a whole bunch of results. That was complicated. You’d have to sift through and figure out which ones were ads, which ones were real, were they sorted correctly, and then you’d have to click through and read it. ChatGPT and the chatbot simplified that even further. You just talk to it like a human—use your voice or you type and it gives you back a straight answer. It might not always be right, but it’s good enough, and it gives you back a straight answer in text or voice or images or whatever you prefer. So it simplifies what we looked at as the simplest product on the Internet, which was formerly Google, and makes it even simpler. And you just cannot make a product that’s simple enough. To be simple, you have to be extremely opinionated. You have to remove everything that doesn’t match your opinion of what the product should be doing. You have to meticulously remove every single click, every single extra button, every single setting. In fact, things in the settings menu are an indication that you’ve abdicated your responsibility to the user. Choices for the user are an abdication of your responsibility. Maybe for legal or important reasons, you can have a few of these, but you should struggle and resist against every single choice the user has to make. In the age of TikTok and ChatGPT, that’s more obvious than ever. People don’t want to make choices. They don’t want the cognitive load. They want you to figure out what the right defaults are and what they should be doing and looking at, and they want you to present it to them.”

Environmentalists spent 20 years begging cows to stop farting and closing coal plants. And AI just walked in and drank their milkshake. 

And now regular Americans are facing thousand-dollar electric bills.

Crypto is… Desperate gamblers chasing their first bag. Investors funding the buildout of the global casino. Bankers hypnotizing the masses to collect their vig. …all meaningless and ephemeral without the cypherpunks, who defend the dream of encrypted and unstoppable cash.

I turned 40 this year. These are the things I wish I had known at 20. Starting with... 1. Develop the ability to add and delete habits. I’ve observed that recovering addicts can have an edge on normal people--they have come to the stark realization that change is existential. Change is the price of survival for all of us. (For me, deleting is easier than adding. You might be different.)

@trading_axe Dr. Axe never misses 🎯—parody badge needs to come off immediately!

MANY PEOPLE are asking me—"Dr. Axius, how did you predict this so accurately?" Look at my track record. I hold the 𝑺𝑼𝑷𝑬𝑹𝑭𝑶𝑹𝑬𝑪𝑨𝑺𝑻𝑬𝑹 championship belt. But if you want to understand the thought process behind it, it's very simple: - Trump was destined to win the 2024 presidential election. - Trump back in power would mean that a lot of "damage" would have to be undone [gay liberal shit]. - Elon was also going to jump into the mix here, I said this on a previous tweet too that Trump + Elon would become duos and crypto would be at the forefront of it. ^This was before Elon endorsed Trump. You see Elon didn't buy Twitter for no reason. He didn't just buy it because, "Twitter sucks, I can do a better job with it! Free speech!" He bought it for POLITICAL POWER. And who was Elon going to back with the most powerful weapon in existence - complete control of social media? Kamala? Really nigga? You guys might think that it's Trump who's endorsing these " masculine " [I use that term quoted very loosely] influencers. But no. It's Elon creating a real-life army of KOLs. Key Opinion Leaders in the real world. Elon chooses who gets the spotlight. Elon chooses whose voice is heard above others. That's where "X" becomes a nuclear weapon. And Elon advises Trump to get done whatever litigation is necessary, Even if it includes KOLs living in a different country, In order to promote the message HE wants. Conor was, yet again, always going to be used in this agenda. Influential and outspoken. See it for what it is, it's all one big storyline. ~ Dr. Axius. Retar Dio.

@itsmarkmoran 💯!!

A while ago it came out that Harry Sisson is a paid influencer by the left (ok, fine, I’m not here to debate that)…he was born in Singapore and is an Irish citizen…an article published yesterday said that he wan’t an American citizen and thus can’t vote… Now it comes out that Ian Miles Chong, who lives in Malaysia and also can’t vote in the US, is paid for by the right and is now advocating for big soda and for SNAP benefits to continue to be used for them…further creating race and socioeconomic disparities… When I get elected to office, I am going to draft and introduce the most punitive bill to punish foreign citizens acting as influencers in our elections so that if they ever dare to step foot here, they are arrested at the airport and after given due process, face years and years of lock up, so that it prevents all these fucking grifters from daring to do this in the future I am unapologetically for protecting our democratic republic and I hope to punish all foreign actors who try to influence our people

Even though I lost a lot on luna, I’m surprised there aren’t more calls to pardon Do Kwon. He built one of the largest crypto protocols ever in public, all top exchanges had UST vaults, and nearly every major VC was active in Luna. The mechanisms were all publicly disclosed and widely discussed. He was def very arrogant at the top and should’ve listened to criticism and feedback more effectively, but if industry decides to scapegoat him it actually makes it much less likely that it is able to attract higher ambition founders. There are similar lvl failures in every industry, but w crypto now as a founder debating pure ai, other earlytech, and crypto, you have to add on the cost that industry blames specifically you for the ideas that you help bring to market. This would be the equivalent of jailing Vitalik after the dao hack.

just took my adderall. Wow…..Everything’s computer.

@trading_axe ‘Remember, I’m just a parody account..’ lmfaoo 🤣—this is straight-up art! Dr. Axius fucking up the canvas like Picasso

Binance is trying to kill off Hyperliquid. I have acquired some intel with Chinese logs, an agent working close to the group of perpetrators. Had to reach out to an ex-MSS Chinese translator and even he said, I quote here: “I have never seen anything like this.” “Who knew a cartel could exist online? CZ is fucking ruthless. This is kill or be killed.” I believe if this ever comes to light, We may see a repeat of CZ vs SBF in terms of CEX vs DEX. However there are no similarities to FTX for CZ to capitalize on. So he is BRUTEFORCE ATTACKING with his infinite wealth. “Don’t trade on hype, trade on knowledge.” Remember, I’m just a parody account and none of this is real. Retar Dio.
