Companies move 🚀 FASTER when they collaborate ⬇️ LESS.

No meetings. No calls.

How to move fast as a remote startup 👇 We need to change how we communicate.

More of us are working remotely and across timezones.

Being mindful of everybody's time and priorities is the practical kindness you can show at the workplace.

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO REMOTE WORK (PART 1/3)
==

Remote work is not just about your skills.

Exceptional remote workers do one thing differently.

They know WHAT to communicate.

You can learn it too 👇 (full of practical examples) We've all been in situations where we find ourselves saying things like, "I thought...", "I assumed...", "I was about to..."

These are symptoms of not communicating enough.

Over-communicate, always!

You have got 24 hours in a day.

Right?

❌ Wrong.

Some people have practically infinite time to do stuff.

How to unlock the 25th hour of the day?

👇 The secret formula is:

Time = Money

Most of us use it in one direction:
Time → Money

Rich people use it in reverse:
Time ← Money

We just need to reverse the arrow. Here's how...

In 2022, @awilkinson and I are bringing Tiny to 🇮🇳 India.

Tiny India is a company that makes more companies.

Let me tell you –

1. what we are building
2. how we are building it
3. how you can be a part of this rocketship 🚀

Come along! 👇 Tiny India is a company that makes more companies.

It's a venture studio.

(Yes, we will invest, buy, and do all the wonderful stuff as well.)

But the focus will be on starting more companies.

I manage 3 companies, am involved in multiple side projects & invest in startups.

Yet this is how my calendar looks. What's my secret?

Asynchronous Work.

Let me share how it's done. 👇 More meetings =/= More work.

Instead, it’s the exact opposite.

🌟 WTF are NFTs?
=============

The ultimate thread (in simple English) to take you from zero to hero.

Get some coffee and come with me on this journey 👇 NFT stands for "Non-Fungible Token".

But that doesn't help, does it?

Let's take one step at a time. What is a token?

Here's how I think of web3.

Some protocols are stateless. Each request has the complete context.

Some are stateful. The context is maintained across requests within the same session.

Web3 is super-stateful. The context is maintained not just across requests, but sessions.

Super-stateful: Request happening in 2021 will have the context of the request that happened in 2011.

This is something that's not trivial to wrap your head around. And the implications are even more surreal.

Some examples...

Do you know someone who says –

"I love blockchain technology but hate crypto."

Let me tell you why they are wrong. ❌

A blockchain cannot exist without crypto. Here's why 👇 First things first, what makes blockchain work?

It's the fact that there are hundreds and thousands of people deploying their ⚡️ energy and 👾 computing power to keep the blockchain secure.

Years before Bitcoin, there was another mysterious Satoshi.

It took 14 years for the internet to find him.

Here's the story of this mystery man. 👇 There's an idea called "Six Degrees of Separation."

It means all people on average are six, or fewer, social connections away from each other.

Question is – Is it possible to locate a man given only his photograph and first name?

He is Satoshi.

Last week, I sat with @DanielScrivner and talked for an hour about life, startups, and investments.

Daniel has invested in over 100+ startups, and he has worked with Apple, Square, Nike, Disney, and Target.

Here are the top 10 ideas shared by him.

THREAD 🧵 1/ 💣 Earn the right to take risks.

"If you do the work and build a solid foundation, then you get the right to take risks and have fun. You get the chance to spend the money, do advertising, and write big cheques. But first, you’ve to do the hard work."

Not just the products, but also some people are just not suitablebto build a venture-backed business.

Example: yours truly.

A short 🧵... My very first product had gained ~300 monthly paying customers within eight months.

Then I though: "They are only 300. Not enough."

Now I think: "Getting 300 paying users is no small feat. We were profitable."

1/ What will happen if all the countries (super powerful ones included) in the world goes against crypto, but then, a tiny country that no one has heard of before comes up and says, "We welcome cryptopreneurs and are excited about blockchain. Build your businesses here." 2/ Smartest people and the smartest money will move over that country. The country that no one had ever heard of before, will become the next superpower.
