It's not that I hate managing people,
it's that I love being an individual contributor.
To work on things that have the most impact.

* Actually, I do hate managing people.

Thanks for your support everyone. Closing this up at midnight tonight EST.

Here's the tally so far:
twitter: $9k
DiamondApp.com (DeSo/BitClout): $8k
LinkedIn: $15k

So, $32k so far -- which is already higher than my prediction of about $25k.

Thank you. 🙏

My approach to social media posting (here on DeSo and elsewhere):

1) Post when you have something to say -- not just when you have something to sell.

2) If you don't have something to say, amplify the voice of others with a repost.

3) If you come across a question that you have a helpful answer to, try and answer the question.

4) It is OK to criticize other people's ideas, but don't make it a habit. And, keep it constructive.

5) Try new things. Have fun. Life is short.

What Moore's Law giveth,
the blockchain taketh away.

And the best complement to a diamond is a follow.

Diamonds are my favorite kind of compliment. 💎

I really like the IDEA of decentralization that's at the core of #web3. Enable creators to own/control their creations.

However, I don't like the IMPLEMENTATION of most of the popular "proof of work" blockchains. Super-inefficient and worrisome climate impact.

DeSo uses a more efficient approach, but most people don't understand why.

Hello, my name is Dharmesh.

It has been 17 hours since I last used BitClout.com.

Thank you for your support, love and understanding.

Trying to come up with a price for your product?

There's ONE thing that I think is key when figuring out an early price.

Short video (< 2 min) from my ongoing YouTube series at http://OnStartups.tv

web3 = web1 + web2

web1: open and decentralized. But, few were creators, most just consumed.

web2: centralized and democratized. Anyone can be a creator. But few own.

#web3 best of web1 and web2. Decentralized and democratized. Anyone can create *and* own.

Really love the simplicity of the Dune logo/title.

That is all.

Anyone else having a hard time completely switching from bitclout.com to diamondapp.com even though you know it is better?

Just me?

Saying "no" is often hard.

It's particularly hard to say NO to big, prospective customers.

One of my favorite slides from HubSpot's Culture Code deck (http://CultureCode.com)

Companies should build *two* products. One for their customers -- and one for their employees. Culture is the product you build for your people.

I've made my share of startup mistakes, but one stands out as the most painful. If I could do it all over, I'd do it differently.

And it's one that you can probably avoid.
