The author is predicting a -80% crash (37$ as fair value vs 189$ current)

Bitcoin was invented so that anybody could be a bank. Therefore, Coinbase will fail in the long term if Bitcoin will succeed. I think one day we'll invent biometric access to bitcoin wallet so there is no more worry to lose the private key because we'll also able to restore it.

This is very relevant during this large crypto correction.

Nobody wants to know that BTC will reach $3,000 within 1-2 years.

Why the market went up after the FED raised interest rate?

Shouldn’t raising rates bad for stocks?

The term "small" is not so cool. A founder is an ambitious person, so it doesn't say "i want to build a small business" even if in the end, it's likely it will build a SB. Therefore media coverage tends to focus on unicorn and vc-startups. Write article on "small business" is no so cool and entertainment. That's why we need to find a new term if we want to make "small business great again". I would like to see more PR coverage for bootstrapped/small business instead of VC-startups.

Luna token is losing -50%

The also lost 800M despite being one of most expensive trading exchange. Recently the focused a lot on gambling having listed a lot if shitcoin to earn commission from retail traders. Now retail trader have lost all their money and they have no more customers.

I am ok with boring success. The problem is that the media or common public cheer to VC-startup because terms like indieHackers, bootstrapped business or lifestyle business are not cool. I can definitely bet that if we a have fancier name for this kind of business or funding strategies it will be different. It must be cooler to create a profitable privately-owned business than a VC-owner business in loss

It’s a PR problem. I think it matters the name we use to call them and how they are interpreted by general public.

Currently we call them like IndieHackers, bootstrapped startup, life style business.

All not fancy as “unicorn” it is. We need a new PR that makes this kind of business cool for the general public.

In these day if you have a profitable bootstrapped business (<1M$) people say that you should raise capital to grow and become an unicorn and your are not cool or not get PR attention until you raise funds. I think is a PR problem. There is an opportunity for a new media space. Like IndieHackers but without the term “hackers” in the title which reminds something dark for the general public.

I work at Amazon and this not happen. It's not true.

Why not switching to Amazon Handmade program?

You need to factor population over the century.

Why not excluding the brand name as negative phrase keyword?

Yeah, but isn't related to this initiative. You are referring to something happened in the past for another company. It doesn't make sense.

I am startup owner (SRL, limited liability company). I have incorporated the company in 1 day through a notary. Other activities related to taxes are outsourced by €2k-3k/year accountant. Yeah, it could be easier, but it's not the problem.

If you build a startup and your main concern are those tax activities, I assume you are not building a startup. That's definitely not the hardest part :)

It's just a stereotype, come on!

HN is one of the first websites I open every day since years.

I recommend "The pyramid principle" book.

Would be great to have a file upload button to test the OCR API from the UI, without to perform the CURL. Just to test how your API works from UI.

Could you share your best practices about writing documentation?

For video file could you open a webtorrent video player instead of linking to magnet?

“If you lose the electrical power, the pathogens in the freezers warm up,” he said. “If the ventilation system is damaged, or the building itself is damaged, and these now ambient-temperature pathogens are able to escape the facility, then they can be potentially infectious in the region around the facility.”

It arrivinh spring soon, so it's a problem until next Sept-October 2022

It's incredible how much press coverage it gets a startup when raising VC funds compared to a startup growing in revenues/profits.
