This is going to really upset some people but this is the part of the cycle where you can pretty much do a screen by sector = semiconductor, find the last names that haven’t tripled this cycle yet and still trade at the lower end of historical valuation range and then just buy em

In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree.

Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling.

Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time.

Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.

Building a profitable app feels great, but even better: Building tech that helps people in need.

@kurbaitaev seeing a dangerous flood hit his home country Dagestan by doing what he does best: Building.

The app quickly went viral and empowered many people seek and offer help.

[brian @bdguan]

as a founder, you’re job is to find opportunity.

when I joined crypto in 2022, I saw opportunity. that led to me starting unlonely, raising $2m, and running many fun experiments.

now, opportunity is elsewhere. if you’re staying in crypto because it’s all you know, or because it’s the only place you think you have an edge, you’ve already lost.

you’re biggest edge is your adaptability and speed. go into content. into AI. into robotics. expand. don’t make decisions out of fear.

Built a disaster relief app with Agent 4 on Replit. Went viral on social media in less than 24 hours. Here's the story.

Floods hit Dagestan. 400,000 people evacuated. Thousands of homes destroyed.

People were offering help everywhere. Food, clothes, housing. But it was scattered across hundreds of comment sections and group chats.

So I built a platform that connects victims with local helpers. Posted the link on Telegram. Went to sleep.

By morning:
→ 450+ posts on the platform
→ 50,000+ visits
→ 15,000+ reposts
→ 40+ volunteers signed up
→ People reaching out saying they're getting real help

Forecast show more floods. Lock in.

[Magomed Kurbaitaev @kurbaitaev]

more than 15000 people visited platform, 250 posts, mostly people offering help, more than 20 volounteers already connecting those in need and those offering help.

my social media is blowing with reposts, government is reaching out. i was so sad to be 10,000 km away from my people when they need help but used that energy to help with what i can.

Hope to grow the platform so more people get what they need. thousands of people lost their homes with furniture, appliances and everything else. most of these people worked their whole life to build this.

I needed 10-15 athletes who are active online to pilot Gameplan.

Posted a single Reel. 80 signups in less than 24 hours.

By the time I'm writing this post it's past 100 and still growing.

The demand is real 🤯

[Magomed Kurbaitaev @kurbaitaev]

Vibe-coded an app on Replit to track what’s actually happening in Dubai’s property market.

My timeline was flooded with takes about how the market is “cooked.”
Even CZ reposted a site claiming “huge drops.”
So I checked it myself:

Aggregated multiple data sources

Built a scoring system to surface real deals

Synced everything with official government data

Result: no "panic sellers"

@AricChang congrats!

Working on something ambitious is like climbing a mountain that’s covered in fog.

You can't see a clear path to the top. You have to take a few steps into the unknown to be able to see the next few steps in front of you. Inevitably, sometimes you’ll end up a local maximum and have to backtrack. That’s fine, just keep moving.

I spent 100 hours over the past week researching, writing and editing the piece we just put out.

It’s a scenario, not a prediction like most of our work. But it was rigorously constructed, dismissing it outright requires the kind of intellectual laziness that tends to get expensive.

And we’ve released it for free. Hopefully you enjoy it.

Secular deflation has already been the crowning thesis of techno-optimism for a decade now. AI and robots will make stuff much cheaper. You won't need to work. The entire economy will become leisure.

What jobs will the kids do? Well there are very low birth rates everywhere. The kids will inherit incredible abundance and spacious conditions.

The gen alpha / gen Z trend of looksmaxxing instead of hyper-gambling is a foreshadowing of this trend. No, the kids are not going to hyper-gamble their way to more money. They are going to get fit and looksmaxx and tangping while waiting for their parents or govt to give them money. True unemployment and underemployment rates for under 25yo are probably north of 30%.

This is already the status quo in advanced Asian economies like Taiwan. Equities and land at ATHs, while incomes are at $1k usd/month. A senior TSMC engineer makes less than a Cupertino Apple first-year. The youth are looksmaxxing and save 0% while living with their parents. All earned income is spent on fashion, cosmetic surgery, and vacations. Parents are happy that the kids are dependent and present. Marriages will be mostly arranged and come with free condos paid for by both sets of parents. Welcome to Confucian utopia.

@Dyor_0x yes, but does the coinbase ecosystem really need a token?
