GM

I don’t hate Elon and couldn’t if I tried. I respect his competence too much and it’s much more fun to compete against him.

Am I writing a note that can never be deleted saying I wanna compete against the greatest entrepreneur that ever lived?

Of course I am. We’re gonna die one day. How could you not want to take a shot at that? It’s also a moral imperative to create competition for the everything-non-free-speech-mind programming-VISA-cucking-app.

Hear me out on the why it’s possible.

Doug Leone from Sequoia, statistically the best venture firm, is on record multiple times saying the number one thing they look for in an entrepreneur is a chip on their shoulder. Maybe it emerged from something from an earlier childhood trauma for example but it creates an unbreakable resolve to win.

Josh Koppelman of First Round Capital, statistically one of the best seed stage investors said he looks for entrepreneurs that are “heat seeking missiles”. Heat seeking missiles will find the solution to the biggest opportunity from the biggest problem no matter what.

There are close to 2 million people on NOSTR now.

MANY with chips on shoulders.
MANY that are heat seeking missiles

Not just one. MANY.
Many chip-on-shoulder-heat-seeking-missiles.

They are pissed at having their voices silenced so much so that the chip on their shoulder manifests as heat seeking missiles for working for free for NOSTR. They are recruiters, engineers, evangelists and marketers. And they will not stop.

Elon installed the terminator chip on their shoulders himself and then laughed at them.

He laughed at the personality types humble enough to get Bitcoin, courageous enough to speak their mind, and sharp enough to build NOSTR.

Add some low time preferences, competence, cunning, open source veracity and the network of the World’s next capital allocators and suddenly it’s not a crazy idea that we win.

Let’s get to work.
