Interesting takeaway from this advice.
Especially for more novel/ niche things ai is not good enough to write anything of quality. Ai can likely make a better deck than a memo.
we're in this weird liminal phase where it's trivial to spin up a convincing slide deck but still hard to write a couple coherent sentences on what you're building
Takeaway: sometimes for net new markets, "build it and they will come" isn't always enough. No amount of customer discovery can validate a market that doesn't exist.
Especially early on, you have to manufacture demand. Storytelling / narrative will be a big part of that.

Payed Friedman to write an article supporting the idea.
The IMM launched a year later.

Short term multiverse market idea:
SPY if there are 20,000 confirmed hanta virus cases by June 1st.
Likely wouldn't do volume at this point, but would be interesting to look at and likely get some coverage.
Have always liked this quote. Recently realized it's just as applicable to builders as investors.
Too much of crypto is focused on chasing cyclical trends and quick exits. The industry is visibly maturing as that strategies returns are diminishing.
Extend your time horizons.
An interesting observation is that I recently changed my hinge from
"fintech marketing" to "gainfully unemployed"
and matches have increased significantly.
