Wow the YouTube comment scammers are working hardcore tonight on my YouTube channel. I assure you, do not trust Mariana Amber just as you should not trust YouTube comments for financial advice. Good god.
Do not trust Brian Allen. This person is a scam artist.
It’s whack a mole too. Seems like they are making hundreds of accounts like this.
This is fixable with a few if statements.
This one is creative, they created a brand new avatar image for me. 🤔
This is truly the laziest part of the YouTube Studio app and most embarrassing. Right, hide future comments. Don’t give me a way to mass delete hundreds of the spam comments they’ve already posted.
Look at this astonishingly elaborate scam thread with multiple accounts. Ends with “thanks for the credible information.”
😆

In 2013 I wrote to potential Coinbase Series A investors: "All the Bitcoins in the world today are worth about $300M—up 400% in the last year. With Coinbase at the forefront, I think this is one of the most disruptive opportunities I’ve ever seen." 🚀
This is what Coinbase's early product market fit looked like:
💰 Doing 15% of all transactions on the world's biggest Bitcoin exchange at the time, Mt Gox
♽ Hitting working capital constraints set by their bank daily
🏆 The only fiat-to-crypto onramp w/ a FDIC-insured US bank
Things I got right: fiat to crypto onramp was the key moat, and software eating money is a big deal
Things I got wrong: I underestimated store of value— I was pretty sure medium of exchange was going to be why crypto would expand
About 50 reviews through 300 YC applications submitted for comment.
Surprising how unaware people are of competition. Yes, you don't die by competition, but when you make something new, you should be hyper-aware of what Google might tell people to use instead of you.
2nd most common mistake: Describing what a startup does, but failing to communicate why it’s a great product/service.
New things must massively outperform incumbents just to have a chance at escaping obscurity.
Step 1 - What is it?
Step 2 - Is it great?
3rd most common mistake: Not highlighting the product, design, and what’s built
The majority of YC apps are still basically just an idea and a bunch of words. If you have a demo, wireframes, mockups, a working site, DEFINITELY link it and drive people to it.
