I gave Bret the same feedback. My point was that if he could package up a smaller version of it (say with a pico projector and a simple webcam) then you could have a ton of creative efforts happen in parallel. There are a ton of use cases for the home and for schools and I'm sad that the potential there is not fully realized..

Create in English, Krit in Sanskrit, ecrit in French. Death is Mrit in Sanskrit, and morte in French. Is is astu in Sanskrit, Ast in Farsi (if I recall correctly).

Even for the app - if its a cost argument, then allow others to compete on a cost basis. Of course, apple will not let you set up your own app store with the same guarantees that apple provides around privacy security etc. If its a discovery and cost of marketing argument than I dont understand the perpetuity of payments, you can pay a first time purchase fee but subscriptions afterwards should not have any fees tacked on.

I think here you need to look at their main weakness, which is strong reliance on government contracts. If Trump loses the next election then there will be a major change that will likely adversely affect them. Peter Thiel is one of the founders of Palantir.

Not to mention that the main benefit of playing an instrument is... playing the instrument!

Why not combine the methods? Use the BTC stuff to fund the stock stuff, and have different twitter accounts do different things. Biden's for BTC, and Musk's for stock market manipulation. Plus steal the DM's for sale on the dark web.

I believe they are trying to make it up in volume.
