I spent time on the ground in Jakarta over the last few days and came away more convinced that it will play a growing and significant role in the internet financial system  In many ways it already is; Indonesia has extremely high crypto and stablecoin adoption.  Hard to think otherwise after meeting so many leading entrepreneurs and innovators.  @williamsutanto of @indodax has built Indonesia's largest crypto assets platform.  @CalvinKizana and @sndyc of Tokocrypto operate one of Indonesia’s leading platforms, focused on delivering simple, secure, and seamless crypto trading and transactions. The @mobee_id team is focused on providing seamless access to digital asset trading and liquidity through an easy-to-use platform for both individuals and businesses.  It was so great to spend time again with Vince Iswara, founder and CEO of @danawallet, which continues to improve the financial wellbeing of so many through innovation, and is the largest digital wallet platform in Indonesia.   @pangxuekai and his team @ICExGroup have built an OJK-licensed bourse for digital assets, operating Indonesia’s integrated exchange alongside clearing and custody infrastructure.  @archie_anugrah, @andyputra, @ririnadani and the whole team @PintuID have built a mobile-first digital asset platform that serves millions and has been innovating in the space from the early days. Natasha Ardiani and the team at Durianpay are laser focused on making payments seamless across the entire ecosystem. The Lippo Group and Nobu Bank are thinking deeply about the digital future at one of Asia’s largest diversified conglomerates and digital bank, clearly poised to continue the firm’s legacy as an industry pioneer in Indonesia and beyond. jeth_soetoyo of CFX and I first met in 2018 before Circle had even launched USDC! It’s impressive what he did with Pintu and is now doing with @cfx_id, a licensed bourse that is on a mission to accelerate the adoption of digital assets. I got to meet with him and leaders from ICC, KKI and IKS.  @D3Labsdotio is a secure and compliant asset tokenization infrastructure for asset issuance, management, and transactions. taking an innovative approach to tokenization and real world assets. It was great to meet Chung Ying Lai and Tigran Adiwirya. They have a deep commitment to the local crypto community!  Very strong energy across the board, excited about what we can do together and the potential for growth in this highly dynamic market.

@SbuxIndonesia kak saya udah top up 50rb via applikasi koq belom dapet kupon 50% nya?

@mandiricare di website jelas2 di bilang gak ada minimum transaksi untuk merchant lounge malacca toast terminal 2F. tapi tiba2 tetep kena charge 92rb ke visa signature aku, alesannya ada minimal charge 150rb. lha koq beda sama di website??

@TeamYouTube Masalahnya.. 3 teguran itu menurut aku gak fair. karena beberapa video (mgkn ada 10) itu di takedown sekaligus di saat yang bersamaan, tanpa warning sebelumnya. sehingga sy tidak merasa pernah di tegur. namun karena jumlah vid nya banyak, youtube merasa sudah melakukan 3 teguran

@sndyc Seperti yg sudah kami infokan, jika sudah terima 3 teguran hak cipta, akunmu, bersama channel terkait, bisa dihentikan. Untuk bisa pulihkan akun yang dihapus karena pelanggaran hak cipta, bisa coba dua opsi yang sudah kami sampaikan di tweet sebelumnya

@TeamYouTube halo youtube, beberapa video yang sudah aku upload cukup lama, kena copyright strike sekaligus. gara2 kena nya sekaligus, jadi nya aku dianggap violate 3 kali, sehingga akun ku terminate, padahal belum di warning sebelumnya :( pls help

@TeamYouTube nah aku tuh gak mau minta pencabutan dari pemilik hak cipta, cuman mau channel aku di restore aja, gpp video yang terkena hak cipta nya di hapus kak. karena di channel aku ada video lain yang gak berhubungan dgn video yang di hapus, apalagi akun youtube nya premium.

@sndyc (2/2) Untuk bisa pulihkan channel yang terkena hak cipta kamu ada opsi minta pencabutan dari pemilik hak cipta: goo.gle/42anr0o Atau ajuin permintaan pemulihan hak cipta, cek di sini: goo.gle/4heqlpg

If only someone told me this before my first startup: 1. Validate idea first. I wasted a decade building stuff nobody needed. Incubators and VCs served to me as a validation, but I was so wrong. 2. Kill your EGO. It’s not about me, but the user. I must want what the user wants, not what I want. My taste isn't important. The user has expectations, and I must fulfill them. 3. Don’t chaise investors. Chase users, and then investors will be chasing you. I've never had more incoming interest from VC than now when I'm the least interested in them. 4. Never hire managers. Only hire doers until PMF. So many people know how to manage people and so few can actually get sh*t done barehand. 5. Landing page is the least important thing in a startup. Pick a simple template, edit texts with a no-code website builder in less than an hour and that's it! At the early stage, You win traffic outside of your website, people are already interested, so don't make them search for the signup button among the texts! Focus on conversion optimization only when the traffic is consistent. Keep it to one page. Nobody gonna browse this website. 6. Hire only fullstack devs. There is nothing less productive in this world than a team of developers for an early-stage product. One full stack dev building the whole product. That’s it. 7. Chase global market from day 1. If the product and marketing are good, it will work on the global market too, if it’s bad, it won’t work on the local market too. So better go global from day 1, so that if it works, the upside is 100x bigger. I launched all startups for the Norwegian market, hoping we will scale to international at some point. I wish I launched to international from day 1 as I do now. The size of the market is 10000x bigger. I can validate and grow products in days, not in years as it used to be. 8. Do SEO from day 2. As early as you can. I ignored this for 14 years. It’s my biggest regret. It takes just 5 minutes to get it done on your landing page. Go to Google Keyword Planner, enter a few keywords around your product, sort them by traffic, filter out high competition kws, pick the top 10, and place them natively on your home page and meta tags. Add one blog article every week. Either manually or by paying for an AI blogging tool. 9. Sell features, before building them. Ask existing users if they want this feature. I run DMs with 10-20 users every day, where I chat about all my ideas and features I wanna add. I clearly see what resonates with me most and only go build those. If you don't have followers, try HN, Reddit, or just search on X for posts and ask it in the replies. People are helpful, they will reply if the question is easy to understand. 10. Hire only people you would wanna hug. My cofounder, an old Danish man said this to me in 2015. And it was a big shift. I realized that if I don’t wanna hug the person, it means I dislike them on a chemical/animal level. Even if I can’t say why, but that’s the fact. Sooner or later, we would have a conflict and eventually break up. It takes up to 10 years to build a startup, make sure you do it with people you have this connection with. 11. Invest all money into your startups and friends. Not crypt0, not stockmarket, not properties. I did some math, if I kept investing all my money into all my friends’ startups, that would be about 70 investments. 3 of them turned into unicorns eventually. Even 1 would have made the bank. Since 2022, I have invested all my money into my products, friends, and network. If you don't have friends who do startups, invest it in yourself. 12. Post on Twitter daily. I started posting here in March last year. It’s my primary source of new connections and growth. I could have started it earlier, I don't know why I didn't. If you are at the same place, start today. I promise you won't regret it. 13. Don’t work/partner with corporates. Corporations always seem like an amazing opportunity. They’re big and rich, they promise huge stuff, millions of users, etc. But every single time none of this happens. Because you talk to a regular employees there. They waste your time, destroy focus, shift priorities, and eventually bring in no users/money. 14. Don’t get ever distracted by hype, e.g. crypt0. I lost 1.5 years of my life this way. I met the worst people along the way. Fricks, scammers, thieves. Some of my close friends turned into thieves along the way, just because it was so common in that space. I wish this didn’t happen to me. I wish I was stronger and stayed on my mission. 15. Don’t build consumer apps. Only b2b. Consumer apps are so hard, like a lottery. It’s just 0.00001% who make it big. The rest don’t. Even if I got many users, then there is a monetization challenge. I’ve spent 4 years in consumer apps and regret it. 16. Don’t hold on bad project for too long, max 1 year. Some projects just don’t work. In most cases, it’s either the idea that’s so wrong that you can’t even pivot it or it’s a team that is good one by one but can’t make it as a team. Don’t drag this out for years. 17. Tech conferences are a waste of time. They cost money, take energy, and time and you never really meet anyone there. Most people there are the “good” employees of corporations who were sent there as a perk for being loyal to the corporation. Very few fellow makers. 18. Scrum is a Scam. If I had a team that had to be nagged every morning with questions as if they were children in kindergarten, then things would eventually fail. The only good stuff I managed to do happened with people who were grownups and could manage their stuff on their own. We would just do everything over chat as a sync on goals and plans. 19. Outsource nothing at all until PMF. In a startup, almost everything needs to be done in a slightly different way, more creative, and more integrated into the vision. When outsourcing, the external members get no love and no case for the product. It’s just yet another assignment in their boring job. Instead of coming up with great ideas for your project they will be just focusing on ramping up their skills to get a promotion or a better job offer. 20. Bootstrap. I spent way too much time raising money. I raised more than 10 times, preseed, seeded, and series A. But each time it was a 3-9 month project, meetings every week, and lots of destruction. I could afford to bootstrap, but I still went the VC-funded way, I don’t know why. To be honest, I didn’t know bootstrapping was a thing I could do or anyone does. 21. It may take a decade. When I was 20, I was convinced it takes a few years to build and succeed with a startup. So I kept pushing my plans forward, to do it once I exited. Family, kids. I wish I married earlier. I wish I had kids earlier. 22. No Free Tier. I'd launch a tool with a free tier, and it'd get sign-ups, but very few would convert. I'd treat free sign-ups as KPIs and run on it for years. I'd brag about signups and visitors. I'd even raise VC money with these stats. But eventually, I would fail to reach PMF. Because my main feedback would come from free users and the product turned into a perfect free product. Once I switched to "paid only" until I validated the product, things went really well. Free and paid users often need different products. Don't fall into this trap as I did. 23. Being To Cheap. I always started by checking all competitors and setting the lowest price. I thought this would be one of the key advantages of my product. But no, I was wrong. The audience on $5 and $50 are totally different. $5: pain in the *ss, never happy, never recommend you to a friend, leave in 4 months. $50: polite, give genuine feedback, happy, share with friends, become your big fan if you solve their request. 24. I will fail. When I started my first startup. I thought if I did everything right, it would work out. But it turned out that almost every startup fails. I wish I knew that and I tried to fail faster, to get to the second iteration, then to the third, and keep going on, until I either find out nothing works or make it work. 25. Use boilerplates. I wasted years of dev time and millions of VC money to pay for basic things. To build yet another sidebar, yet another dashboard, and payment integration... I had too much pride, I couldn't see myself taking someone else code as a basis for my product. I wanted it to be 100% mine, original, from scratch. Because my product seems special to me. 26. Spend more time with Family & Friends. I missed the weddings of all my best friends and family. I was so busy. I thought if I didn't do it on time, the world would end. Looking back today, it was so wrong. I meet my friends and can't share those memories with them, which makes me very sad. I realized now, that spending 10% of my time with family and friends would practically make no negative impact on my startups. 27. Build Products For Audiences You Love. I never thought of this. I'd often build products either for corporates, consumers, or for developers. It turns out I have no love for all 3. But I deeply love indie founders. Because they are risk-takers and partly kids in their hearts. Once I switched the focus to indie makers on my products, my level of joy increased by 100x for me. 28. Write Every Single Day. When I was a kid, I loved writing stories. In school, they would give an assignment, and I'd often write a long story for it, however, the teacher would put an F on it. The reason was simple, I had an issue with the direction of the letters and the sequence of letters in the words. I still have it, it's just the Grammarly app helping me to correct these issues. So the teacher would fail my stories because almost every sentence had a spelling mistake that I couldn't even see. It made me think I'm made at writing. So I stopped, for 15 years. But I kept telling stories all these years. Recently I realized that in any group, the setup ends up turning into me telling stories to everyone. So I tried it all again, here on X 10 months ago. I love it, the process, the feedback from people. I write every day. I wish I had done it all these years. The End.
