Just published my latest longform article.

It dives deep into how top innovators and investors pick skills to learn.

It is a result of years of research on learning how to learn and how top entrepreneurs think differently than others.

Most would agree that providing value is the key to long-term success on BitClout.

Given that, what's the best way to split your time between your followers & coin holders?

A. 80% followers / 20% holders
B. 50 / 50
C. 20 / 80

Thoughts?

I think A is optimal. Here's why...

What's the best coin holder benefit you've seen so far on BitClout?

Share what the benefit is and tag the creator.

COIN STRATEGY

I'm realizing that I'd rather go the route of providing unique value to my coin holders and encouraging HODLing.

I admire @Rajlahoti's experimentation, but I wonder if it just encourages speculators who will then sell when the coin price rises.

Thoughts?

REAL TALK

What's the proper etiquette on selling someone else's coin?

A. It's rug pulling. Always bad.
B. It's ok if you let the creator know.
C. It's always ok. No justification needed.
D. Depends on how much you owe.

Something else?

BitClout + Wiki Feature Idea

Info overwhelm is real. Discovery on the Internet is broken from a learning perspective.

I'd love to see ppl be compensated for curating the best content on the Internet and receive BitClout based on how useful others find it.

Exciting to see Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia active on the platform again. Excited to see something like WikiClout one day!

I was skeptical at first whether this was the real Jimmy Wales, since his coin was so low, but then I saw his tweet claiming the account.

Goooooood morning!

I saw some news recently about Clout possibly being traded somewhere - any updates on that?

@JimmyWales

What's the #1 approach to increase your coin's value:

A. Help onboard others on to BitClout
B. Post valuable content consistently
C. "You invest $X in me, I invest $X in you"
D. Stating how much you'll invest into your coin
E. Benefits for HODLers

Something else?

Really excited to see what you do on the platform with interviewing folks.

As you know, I'm a huge fan of Mixergy (https://mixergy.com). I've listened to 200+ of your 1,500 episodes. Your ability to get real stories and tangible advice from entrepreneurs is unparalleled.

By the way, we talked about how much you helped me get going here. Thank you, Michael.

I'm surprised how Twitter people judge Bitclout without even trying it. It's eye-opening.

Almost all of the critiques were never true or are no longer true (ie - Bitclout is now open-source).

LESSON

When you see skepticism, explore first and judge second.

Who are the most influential people who have joined BitClout this week and become active?

Biggest one I have noticed is @markmanson.

What are your BitClout plans for the next month?

A. Go all in
B. Consistently engage (post, comment, etc)
C. Dabble

Excited to have my friend Lauren Proctor on BitClout. She previously sold a company to Twitter, owns a successful agency, and is on top of almost every trend. She is also exploring creating a BitClout app.

At $187.53, her coin is a steal, and I'm a proud investor in it!

Will BitClout become like other social networks (e.g. paid influencers doing shoutout posts, growth tools, branded profiles, etc).

Curious to hear people's thoughts and reasoning.
