Watched this last night on YT. Worth it. The level of corruption and cronyism in Russian politics is out of this world.

I've been running a studio-style business for about 10 years in Toronto. Funding it from services and working on product on the side is absolutely brutal, as I'm sure many of you already know.

It doesn't really allow you to fully concentrate on your product and put the 110% effort required into quickly iterating on product/market fit.

Eventually what most of the time ends up happening is dropping the ball on the client work and failing to launch a successful product.

I'm now a bit more pragmatic about this whole thing and I'm helping clients deliver on their vision of a product by providing solid dev work and tips/consulting from my start-up experience.

Someone made a comment that Joe Rogan is the dumb man's celebrity smart guy. I tend to agree, but I do enjoy some of his podcasts.

Very interesting, but you can greatly improve the UI/UX with minimal work. At the moment is a bit too cumbersome to use.

From my understanding, the US market is not a priority for them with this project. They're looking at the unbanked markets first and foremost.

I believe it is more a matter of affordability than anything else and it only applies to people living in or around the downtown core of major cities in NA. Unless one of the on-demand ride sharing services, gets some kind of membership going, that would be cheaper monthly than owning a car outright, I don't see it. Most people need the convenience of owning a vehicle and having it available 24/7. I do see more services like Turo helping with reducing the financial burden of car ownership though.

I see some similarities here between VW Dieselgate and DB. Must be a German thing :)

Spot on with this one. Now that I think about it, it makes so much sense thinking of some peeps I know. Never really got GV and usually can't stand people preaching too much to other about success.

It's still too early for most people to understand how amazing the concept around MakerDAO and DAI actually is. They will, but it will take a bit of time.
