1. Building in public works wonders.
Building in public is a powerful way to validate your idea, pivot quickly, and build your network. Twitter is an awesome community with genuine supporters. Avoid building in isolation. #buildinpublic #networking #validation

2/n Over the last 12 months, @cz_binance has acquired at least three companies - @BinanceJEX, @WazirXIndia, and @dapp_review. Looking at the big picture, it is a notable development as @cz_binance mops up the key players in the #decentralized fundraising space
3/n If you're looking to develop a #dapp, your best best is soon going to be the #Binance Blockchain. Why? Because it tacitly lets #developers know that it has the most well-oiled machinery in the much muddied #crypto space.
