Was in Geneva and visited an Audemars Piguet store for the first time, to discover that their Royal Oak watch (retailing at $33k) wait list is currently 20 years long 🤯 There were always speculators in the watch community but apparently this population exploded post Covid
Lots of renewed interest in gamefi tokens this cycle but it turns out how well the tokens are doing is more linked to community speculative interest than how good the game is. Have not yet seen a sustainable game web3 economy design that doesn’t reduce the token to something…

This trend on China’s Reddit (XiaoHongShu) of Westerners crowdsourcing #glowup advice from Chinese users is a hilarious cross-cultural moment. Sometimes we just want that tiger mom non-PC feedback

Has any startup fumbled a $450M “seed round” worse than Yuga labs!? They pretty much delivered nothing in 2yrs… Hopin at least had revenue and gave investors $ back Curious how much founders etc cashed out during this time.
I was today years old when I learned that 30 year old guys are trying to look older, not younger.
@amytongwu Ya VCs should fight less for valuation and more for ownership
@amytongwu @MadhuYalamarthi But isn't this going to prove the downfall for many as has in the past... Power law is real, but building enduring businesses regardless of fomo moments is realer, and revenue vs. ARR is realest. 💯💯💯 on being someone outlier founders want a check from
RE this dumbass marketing thing. Yes, we don’t have a credited marketer. I know it’s weird. We paid A LOT of money to trial the industry’s best agencies for this shit and they came up with nothing good. We learned some genuinely meaningful, replicable things from it.
