there's this idea that solving problems from a lived experience is the best way to build it's a common advice that works very well, i'm practicing it too, but i think it's not the only door in. i think you don't have to live the problem to solve it, you just have to let it become yours. there's another type of founder - the one who looks at someone else's problem and can't look away. not because it's a good market opportunity but because watching it persist starts to feel like a personal failure. that shift from "their" problem to "your" problem, is where real solutions come from. when the gap between how things are and how they should be genuinely bothers you, atp you stop building features and start solving the actual thing. you stay up not because of the pitch deck, but because the problem still isn't fixed and that bothers you personally. and here's the quiet truth in all of this: when you solve it, you both {the founder and the user} feel better. not as a marketing strategy, but as a natural consequence of actually giving a damn. that's just what 'good' building looks like thought? until then... see you arr-round ❦

@iam0xJosh well put man 👏🏻 it's part of marketing in as much as you are dealing with humans – understanding what drives 'em, what motivates 'em and positioning your product that way - is key to satisfying 'em.

you don’t need KOLs to go viral you need psychology, an idea and a good execution here are 3 things projects and individuals did to rack up attention this week Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to understand how and why all these work you need to know this it's basically a psychology model of human motivations if you want someone's attention you need to strike one or more of these Experiment #1: doodle ai This falls under belonging + identity because everyone is doing it, it becomes a signal and you want to be part of it not because they paid you but because its human behaviour when you then use it you either like it (most likely) or don't then you think to yourself this is actually cool I'd like to use it /(identify it) as my profile picture barely any stunts just a site, ai and creativity and it took over the TL Experiment #2: X scores - Self esteem + belonging if you got a good score you probably felt good i mean who wouldn't but if you didn't you probably either felt bad or felt the urge to improve This isn't news but we recently had some people vibecoding theirs recently the likes of @BawsaXBT Experiment #3: The situation room - belonging if done well would take over the TL on its first day everyone remotely close would want to take a picture to post (free marketing) and prove that they were there (belonging) belonging and esteem seems to be the trend here key takeaway? virality is psychology, not budget

@iam0xJosh @miragedottrade @CatalystLabsX pretty good lists would prolly look at 'em

early projects i found for doomscrolling pt.3 @miragedottrade - trading app → trade assets and commodities like a CEX but with a DEX experience @CatalystLabsX - agentic layer → agent layer app that does your defi operations with a simple prompt from perps to swaps @deloraprotocol - AI defi app → AI native app with embedded multichain swaps and bridges, automating your activity @_lumeapp - tokenized assets → buy tokenized stocks in one UI @AkaraMarkets - prediction app → real time prediction app but with an in game experience what apps do you think would have great impact?

@angelinarusse at some point in my life, i was living daily just to get validation from ppl after some time, i realized i wasn't getting that fulfilment or happiness i desire. i learnt this simple truth and now i really don't care lol. i just do things.

Let people do their thing. Let them post their Doodles. Let them vibe code their apps and websites. Let them explore without needing approval. Not everything is meant to be validated by others.

@CreateWithTony you are not wrong it's a two way street. humans will always be humans - good outcomes most times, and bad outcomes too. the thing is, just be kind, that's all.

can also be the worst investment you'll ever make.

@aixarizzo missed one - i'm still here :) making it 11

so between the ones that left crypto and the ones replaced with ai, we're around 10 here?

@aominethefirst oh well the journey continues.

when you're too tired to work, but too poor to quit

sometimes life just hits hard. you’re trying so hard to build sum’n, yet it feels like you ain’t doing shii. then life starts stacking up… health dips, and now you gotta fix that too. and then you might go offline for a day or two. ’cause real work only happens when you’re good. that’s where i’m at right now. hope i get through this soon. see you around, fren.

@0x_Timi it was obvious 😅

@Web3Yitzhak chelsea never stood a chance anyway 😂

well... is this a sign to start trading on prediction market?? 😂

@zclare245 i doubt if most chelsea fans could sleep properly last night 😂 this is the reason i don't give too much of my attention to football.

@Web3Yitzhak Crazy game it was😂

@D33n_web3 a lot of ppl are even defending it. onchain sporty - that's my fun way of referencing pm

@Web3Yitzhak yeah because it is gambling people make it feel less of gambling when it actually is

@iam0xJosh lol i laughed so hard yesterday when i saw the results

@Web3Yitzhak Absolutely cinema from psg

@Heisrae_Vibez you are one dude that i have seen embodying kindness 💜

@Web3Yitzhak be kind!!

"kindness may be one of the most difficult and most deliberate things you can choose, especially now. but it may also be one of the most rewarding, both for our personal lives and for our collective one." lately this has become a thing for me, regardless of how difficult it can be. i will try to let it shape everything i do and everything i become. be kind my fren ❦

@surgeonwhizz i wish most of us knew this

@Web3Yitzhak Kindness is necessary

@iam0xJosh yeah, it's part of the elements of empathy. the thing is, the reward isn't always extrinsic. that fulfilment & inner peace - is most times enough.

@Web3Yitzhak kindness is always rewarded somehow

@zclare245 just like JESUS did 💜

@Web3Yitzhak Let empathy overwhelm your need for self preservation

@0x_Timi it's so underated man

@Web3Yitzhak the power of kindness >>>

@surgeonwhizz exactly fren 👏🏻

@Web3Yitzhak Yeah point on, will make you understand the product more and even increase usage

i'm always excited when i know sum'n is made specifically for me. i know you have similar feelings too. when someone says "hey i made this for you" it gives that feeling of belongings, care and genuine concern. that emotion can get someone attached to you - you will feel like giving sum'n back. now imagine if founders adopt this mindset. we wouldn't have to complain too much about a lotta products. users will happily use it because "it was made for 'em" and they will stay because someone cared enough to solve their problem. a win win :) i really can't wait to start using web 3 products like this fr. see you arr-round ❦

@D33n_web3 i see pm as gambling i'm never getting close to it man 🙂

@Web3Yitzhak no bro don't
