Old: talent + distribution
New: talent = distribution
To clarify

Traditional media distributors' leverage is eroding:

1/ Pay someone else a percentage to broadcast your thing

2/ Broadcast your thing
To get to the point where someone would offer you a deal to broadcast your thing often means you've found enough momentum to do it yourself
And keep a significantly higher portion of the upside you created

The Symbol for Satoshis: (design process thread)
Got this great little design prompt from
@PatrickWStanley via DM yesterday.
After a bit of googling, there have been a few attempts at branding Sats, most were complex or too difficult to reproduce by hand.

So the answer needs to be both distinct and recognisable, but incredibly simple to reproduce by hand.

Conversion rate is a concept that I wish I grasped earlier.

Know what conversion rate is (try more stuff)
Don't know what conversion rate is (give up)
Sustained results are merely relentless iteration
6 out of 100 people buying something from your website is a *world-class* conversion rate.

NFT projects with commercial rights to characters = decentralized Disney.
Most creative industries have been firehosed with crypto FUD, but will soon realize that it's simply a scared gatekeeper narrative.

Creativity plus code as law means creative output aligned economic upside in perpetuity, without paying an enormous tax to Gatekeeper Inc.
The "distribution flippening" has already happened in many industries, and is not far off in others.
