What is insane about asking who put tens of millions into the coin? It is absolutely unprecedented for a sitting president to have an investment vehicle that he profits from! And on top of that the people investing are secret. That is the insane part!
Create a tool that empowers others to create.
There is a lot of important stuff in this new paper by Anthropic that shows how people are actually using Claude.
1) The tasks that people are asking AI to do are some of the highest-value (& often intellectually challenging)
2) Adoption is uneven, but many fields already high
A little-known Turkish app studio is secretly making $100M+ a year.
With 9 apps pulling $200K+ per month.

Whatever you do in life.
Put your heart into it.
Or it’ll cost you your peace.
Decisions that can change your life:
Sticking to anything daily for an entire year
Moving cities
Upgrading romantic partners
Eliminating drinking & drugs
Saying no to shiny objects
Going to bed at 9pm daily
If you don’t like where you’re at, try one.
Life can change fast.
In fact the optimal point to aim at, if you're writing AI applications, is something that is just short of working. This requires great judgment; it would be so easy to lie to yourself about such a thing. But the prize for getting it right could be huge.
With AI though you can do this in multiple dimensions. You can make something that's too expensive, knowing it will get cheaper. But you can also make something that barely works, knowing it will start to work better.
Occasional work doesn’t bring success.
Consistent one does.
It’s all about the daily show up.

"Give me 6hrs to chop down a tree,
and I'll spend 4 hrs sharpening the axe."
The 2025 dev version?
“Give me a product to build, and I’ll spend 90% of my time planning, structuring, and refining AI prompts.”
A sharp system cuts through everything.
Post at least 3-5 times a day.
Why?
Because at the end of the month you'll have 150 posts.
Analyse what worked. Understand why.
Analyse what didn't. Understand why.
Do more of what worked.
That's how I gained 1000 followers in 50 days.
Your effort limits the downside.
Your strategy limits the upside.
If only someone told me this before my 1st startup:
1. Validate.
I wasted at least 5 years building stuff nobody needed.
2. Kill your EGO.
Make your users happy instead of yourself.
3. Don’t chaise investors; chase users, and then investors will chase you.
4...
Focus on helping people.
The money comes naturally.
I started writing daily long forms.
Result?
300 new followers in 10 days.
Want to grow?
Do what 99% aren’t doing.
developers be like:
"let me add:
for an app with zero users.
Stop selling always the product.
Start selling the transformation.
Anyone can do this, it just takes 4 years of hard work.
Yes, yes we are.
It’s not the lack of money.
It’s not the lack of time.
It’s the lack of urgency.
