we’re building the world’s best human travel concierge at Anecdote Travel.
everyone is racing to automate travel. we’re obsessed with making booking and experiencing travel feel human again.
now we’re looking for a Head of Marketing to tell that story to the world !!
we are outsourcing care, empathy, and basic human interaction to agents in the name of efficiency.
call me cynical. i don’t think we’re ready for what that does to us as humans.
i think what ppl forget is that incentives can manufacture interest but they can’t manufacture belief
if the value isn’t obvious without a reward, the product isn’t there (yet!)
this reflects a broader maturity shift in crypto. @Uniswap has supported users via email support since 2022.
best-in-class support is secure, intentional, and scalable.
every single chance I get I'm namedropping @saramanj into conversations. my genuine inspiration for creating meaningful IRL experiences and bringing crypto mainstream

culture is the future of your product standing out
there is a reason why things like labubu, sneakers, pokemon cards do well
or even wise vs revolut vs monzo vs every neobank. there is a culture behind all these products going out there and getting users/mindshare
or even polymarket vs kalshi
product-market fit depends on culture way more than we admit
you can’t build money products without understanding how people create trust, share value + support each other
culture is the infrastructure
‼️attention‼️
please ignore all posts and DMs sent by @sarinasid. her account was compromised last night and we are trying to recover.
have gotten a few DMs saying the account has sent them malicious links - do not click anything!
most people don’t adopt new money systems just because they’re better
they adopt them because they feel safer, more familiar, or more in control
we underestimate how emotional money really is
most people live in their domestic currency, not USD
so it’s odd that stablecoins only behave like USD savings accounts
maybe the real frontier is helping local economies move, not routing everything through the US dollar
uniswap community initiatives popping up in Nigeria is so cool to see 🦄🇳🇬
proud that our mission is simple: help more people feel confident, safe, and empowered whenever they transact onchain
highest leverage growth hack is just being indispensable
just solve a pain point so well that ppl reorganize habits around you
everything else is noise until that happens
underrated growth metric: economic depth per user
basically how much trust + conviction someone has in your product
i would take a smaller group of people who actually show up to trade/stake/lend with their hard earned money over a million empty wallets any day
been thinking a lot about how fintech + crypto products break into emerging markets. default strategy is top-down noise…splashy marketing, partnerships, hackathons, incentives etc
imo the real impact + roi tends to come when you start from the ground level: does the product actually line up with how people live + feel about money? what use cases fit into cultural moments?
kinda a “start with why” but rooted deeply in what’s actually happening on the ground.
