Exciting product. Criticism: the detachable controllers don't appear very ergonomic. They are small in size and the detaching mechanism look looks somewhat flimsy.

Bitcoin has been around for 8 years, and general awareness has really only kicked in over the last 4. These Bitcoin companies are the first generation. I think it's reasonable that in the next 10 years the tasks you performed will be more seamlessly orchestrated, and greater competition will drive the price down. It would take an order-of-magnitude improvement to undercut the wire fee ($35) which may well happen.
Edited out consideration: traffic in your area might be a good proxy for Uber volume. Traffic late at night is generally low.
Understanding how Facebook connects different people might help prevent this from happening, but as Facebook's tech becomes more advanced/pervasive Facebook will need to provide an explicit feature to protect user privacy for situations like this. As it stands, the implications of sharing your phone number, location, etc are already far from explicit.
This is good general advice. The credibility of a person, VC or otherwise, does not suffice as proper consideration, let alone multiple data points.
Now I use the Soundcloud and Spotify apps for roughly the same respective purposes (Spotify replacing YouTube). I prefer the simplicity of the Soundcloud app over the feature-rich but complex Spotify app. There's plenty of data not displayed in the Soundcloud app that might be shown in the Spotify app, but good luck becoming consistent at finding that data.
Overall I'm happy they cleaned up the app and dropped the old webapp features.
Edit: "launching" multiple times is totally a thing, too, so don't fear getting the product/market fit wrong the first time.
I see a lot of people trying to map the functionality of this onto their non-retired lifestyles, but I think that's missing the point. This will mostly benefit seniors.
The proof of work threshold for a block (aka the difficulty) was the same when the fork started. The function that adjusts the difficulty (a function of time-between-blocks) is the same across both forks. It would take considerable time for the non-fork chain's difficulty to adjust to where it can make blocks at pace with the fork chain again. And even if it did, the fork would represent less work due to a lower difficulty.
Twitter et al. should really become the blockquote service for the internet.
They usually apply basic criteria such as monthly active users (MAUs) here when promoting such stats. Your account likely wouldn't meet the criteria. In the case of bots, being "active" can be programmatically achieved, however.
