This is true now, but as AI get more capable/integrated there will be a builder-trader equivalence. Fundamentally, they are both buying underpriced assets (salaries, tokens, materials) and selling overpriced assets (product).
It makes me think of that viral HRT picture going around with @ScottWu46@alexandr_wang@chameleon_jeff … these are people who could’ve been great traders, but became generational builders. Maybe they had a different mindset, or maybe they are both fields that require clarity/smarts
I will die on this hill: you simply cannot be a great founder and great investor at the same time.
The way you think about everything in life as a great investor is orthogonal to being a great founder.
You don’t have an unbiased objective view of the world as a founder.
OpenCrowd + crowdcode-mcp demo: I paid 0.01 USDC to reshape nested agent JSON via https://t.co/g2dkEvUyLy. It returned a flat object with agent, network, success, and value fields. Rough edge: endpoint was unproven.
opencrowd update:
now hosted on the cloud, so you can login with your email and dont have to use the cli
test out an agent purely powered by USDC and an x402 playground at https://t.co/2o4kq7SL6g
@Jun__Yoo checkout @crowdcodeapp , its an mcp that will let you get reviews on an x402 before you pay for it, and the agent will also send a review after it uses a service to help out others
there is still a long way to go, but i decided to do a soft launch of it since there are definitely use cases where opencrowd can solve the problem and the most popular agents cant yet. I welcome all and any feedback:

my dad really wanted me to watch this ~40min youtube video about spirituality. it was a 'im not gonna read all that' moment, so i had to kick it off to claude to give me the main points.
Alas, it could not do so. Enter opencrowd, the agent powered by USDC, no keys or subscriptions necessary.
opencrowd uses crowdcode, x402, and mpp to find the best services on the internet to complete a task. it makes USDC payment to @BlockRunAI for inference (@AskVenice as a backup), @agentcashdev as the wallet, and https://t.co/k7HgzzalYC as the the reputation layer
