At Stanford, I took a business class titled "Principled Entrepreneurial Decisions".

Every week, tech company CEOs (Tableau, Cloudflare, etc.) explained how they made a specific tough business decision.

Here are 3 case studies and 3 key takeaways for all startup founders 🧵👇 1/14

1. THERE ARE NO "RIGHT" DECISIONS

CASE STUDY #1:
A tire company discovers a product flaw through internal auditing. They can legally avoid product recall b/c the T&C allow it but fear legitimate safety concerns. A recall means firing 30% of the workforce.

What do you do?

21 Twitter algorithm tips to increase engagement 🧵👇 1. Tweet at least once a day. The algo punishes accounts that don't tweet consistently.

How to market your NFT project in a bear market 🧵👇 1/23

During the summer 2021 NFT bull run, the sell out formula was simple:

1. Doxxed team
2. 10k+ Twitter followers. 5k+ Discord members.
3. A website with a "roadmap"

Today's 🐻 market is very different. Even builders with experience are having trouble gaining traction.

Exactly 1 year ago, I bought my Bored Ape and started this Twitter account.

Since then, I've:

- grown from 0 => 20K followers
- advised multiple web3 projects
- started my own web3 projects

Here are my 16 biggest learnings from year 1. 🧵👇 1/20

This 🧵 is for anyone who believes in a web3 future and wants to dive deeper into the space. I cover:

How can P2E gaming become a sustainable business??

I analyzed popular P2E games (Axie, STEPN) and traditional games (Fortnite, Minecraft) to figure out the best business model for the future of gaming.

🧵👇 1/26

Gaming is seen as the next frontier for crypto/web3 adoption but the current P2E model is unsustainable. Several issues:

1. P2E == ponzinomics
2. P2E games are not fun
3. NFT traders are not gamers
4. Tokenomics incentivize selling
5. NFTs cut into long term profits

What will NFT utility look like in the next 6 months??

As an IRL silicon valley tech product manager, I have been evaluating the data and trends. Here's what I have found.

🧵👇 1/27

In the past year, the focus for NFTs/Defi has largely been on:

1. Price speculation based on fomo, fud, attention, and influencers
2. Memes + CC0
3. Technology infrastructure + shortcomings
4. Products that didn't need to leverage web3 technology

How I almost got scammed in the @The333Club discord (I clicked the link)

🧵👇 1/3

Got a discord notification from what appeared to be @Zeneca_33 and quickly read through it.

There were a few “fomo inducing elements” to the post:

1. Only 250/333 available

2. URL link looked legit, no weird words

3. Some special utility that sounded cool

Today it is down to 800%.

Is this a trend or is this sustainable? And if so, for how long?

Shiba Inu Coin will cause the next #NFT bull run #changemymind #SHIB #SHIBARMY

Here's why 👇👇🧵 1/ Coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are meme coins fueled by fomo and the desire to get rich quick. It's the ultimate legal Ponzi scheme —> folks buy because they think others will buy as well. No utility.
