"I could just sit down and write out like 20 ideas I'd love to build or to see someone else build. So as a founder, I'd say the biggest downside now is just not being able to build up the side projects that I want." - Conlan Rios

Today, I'll be sharing the book highlights of @peterthiel's Zero to One. Peter Thiel is a serial entrepreneur who helped to start up many companies, like @PayPal and @PalantirTech, and invested in Facebook.

If he has something to say about startups, I want to know. Read on πŸ‘‡ Image
There are 2 kinds of progress:
β€’ Horizontal (1 to n)
β€’ Vertically (0 to 1)

E.g. Horizontal progress is about getting existing products distributed to more places (globalization), while vertical progress is about coming up with new products (tech). Image
From the book's title, you should be able to deduce which is the better kind of progress. Going from zero to one will be hard, but the rewards will be way better than going from 1 to many.

πŸ‘‰ Look for companies that go from 0 to 1 instead of 1 to n.

Heard of the crypto game @The_Delysium? We're quite blown away by what they are offering right now, and this could possibly be an AAA title in #Web3!

In this thread, we'll share more about Delysium and also the token sale of DMA.

πŸ”₯ Let's go! πŸ”₯
Delysium can be played right now. You just need to download the launcher and off you go.

Just look at the gameplay video to see how amazing this crypto-powered MMO looks like πŸ‘‡

We wanted to take a look at the whitepaper to see what this is all about, and were pleasantly surprised (and impressed) by their playable whitepaper!

Go ahead, try it! (switch on your audio for the best experience)

Recycling your passwords is a bad security practice ❌

Why not use a password manager to help with generating and maintaining passwords?

In this episode of the #OSINT show, host @IntelTechniques revisits password managers and #2FA πŸ‘‡
Recommendations For Password Managers

Previously

πŸ”Ή Have always recommended @KeePassXC or @Bitwarden:
πŸ”Έ KeePassXC: A completely offline tool. Reserved for extreme scenarios
πŸ”Έ Bitwarden: A secure password manager that synchronizes your password database across multiple devices
Now

πŸ”Ή Online password managers have advanced quite a bit
πŸ”Ή Every reputable password manager encrypts everything on your machine before it goes into the database
πŸ”Ή Does not recommend LastPass, 1Password, Dashlane
πŸ”Ή For people new to password managers, he recommends Bitwarden
