Building is exciting. The possibilities feel endless. It’s a thrill to create something that could change the world.<br/><br/>But I never stopped to ask the basics. Who is this for exactly? How will it be sustainable? Is what I’m building valuable enough that people will actually pay for it?<br/><br/>In business, inaction can kill you just as much as snap decisions. But there are fundamental questions every founder should ask before throwing money or time at an idea.<br/><br/>The best approach I’ve found is Paul Graham’s “do things that don’t scale” method. Rather than building a £20k MVP, focus on a cheap, manual, inefficient way to prove people care about what you’re building. It’s not flashy, it’s not pretty, but it quickly tells you whether your idea has legs so you can spend more time building what people actually want. 2025-09-30T18:33:42Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspuq6q58xh5qsv2x782j639asedyzecwsg4nz3lc3542nupkax2lszyqacas5ch67me84c6hgc8ewgcmxdz9z9ph7e9h3vk4hh47ghtwlhk9628xq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfe2ae485cquwcndft4jrgtnapv2vphsltz9r7z62r7gaarn8f2qs0uu067'>nevent1q…u067</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Similar journey myself.

With Bitcoin, change is tied to physical cost. You can’t just push an update or flip a switch, you need to burn real resources. That’s what makes attacks prohibitively expensive and the system uniquely resilient.<br/><br/>Another fascinating aspect is how consensus protects the network. If miners or large institutions want to change the rules of Bitcoin, that’s fine! They can fork off and create their own chain. The main Bitcoin network, enforced by nodes following the existing consensus rules, keeps running as before. This means no single group can force changes on everyone, and the integrity of the system is maintained by the collective agreement of participants rather than any central authority.<br/><br/>From a cyber security perspective it’s brilliant. No central point of failure, no authority to compromise, yet globally robust against adversaries. It’s trust without trusting. <br/><br/>Bitcoin isn’t just money, it’s a masterclass in security architecture. Elegant. Transparent. Built to last. 2025-09-28T18:05:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsprlevdv4g5n6n6sjed5llewz3wthzqk7wx4syqfhl38rf4qyfpcgzyqacas5ch67me84c6hgc8ewgcmxdz9z9ph7e9h3vk4hh47ghtwlhk2s8l8v In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdc5sgr0f2zaa7mteetvxt2z7hrv3nxtl08qfzn7k2gx5p3uy235qvllky7'>nevent1q…lky7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That pretty much sums up the discussions I’ve seen 🤣 2025-09-28T14:19:45Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd0l56e73r3np4r44d284w0aj3zr40xhv88m9f7zk2g2xn5q5e7fszyqacas5ch67me84c6hgc8ewgcmxdz9z9ph7e9h3vk4hh47ghtwlhkr5jegd My thoughts on Bitcoin’s current dip after casually watching it go from $69,000 to $16,000 in the last cycle.<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/38b28a13ca74a75ce34687489a714940ccbc79150ee49891e00bc2ad3ceb8cc3.png"> 2025-09-26T18:54:42Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9gkylqq4khx0r8rn2ctu8yyahdkkpplpaxheteqwhaw53c9dtquszyqacas5ch67me84c6hgc8ewgcmxdz9z9ph7e9h3vk4hh47ghtwlhkvwccfu I don’t need a new car to prove anything.

That meant I was constantly playing catch up. 80-hour weeks became the norm, and the people I was supposedly “doing this for” were the ones I was neglecting most.<br/><br/>It took those life events to shake me into realising something I’d overlooked: hustling, titles, social media followers, even “success” itself doesn’t matter if you’re sacrificing what’s truly important.<br/><br/>Don’t get me wrong, I believe you can build something meaningful and still have time for family. But when your job or business is your life, that’s when it becomes dangerous.<br/><br/>At the end of the day, meaningful relationships are the only thing that carry through every stage of your life.

The real issue is the centralised database behind it.<br/><br/>Linking everything about you into one system doesn’t just create a surveillance risk. It creates a massive security vulnerability. Once that data is breached or misused, you can’t put it back in the box.<br/><br/>It also hands government unprecedented control. The ability to link, track, or even restrict access to everyday life is not something any free society should give up lightly.<br/><br/>Privacy isn’t just about liberty, it’s about safety. Centralising sensitive data in this way puts both at risk.<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/2fe87db73cec9a3b23dffcf3c9eff5d18f81f6ef163df39090c68295a6a20ede.jpg"> 2025-09-20T20:48:47Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs05hxgdlzq2lq5hxlyp5s7az886lkwexsulzvcnqgak3vr44aw6hszyqacas5ch67me84c6hgc8ewgcmxdz9z9ph7e9h3vk4hh47ghtwlhkrwc4lw This is why I Bitcoin.<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/da8942968480050ff2d9a6eb3d57fd2bc8cf67fd3076da9d54940fedf1333fd7.jpg"> 2025-09-20T11:54:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsggn5dw3245ndhghx8yuktret24y2ncw7lt82w03mn0mj76pjy9hszyqacas5ch67me84c6hgc8ewgcmxdz9z9ph7e9h3vk4hh47ghtwlhklpzv9p One good thing that has come from this Core vs Knots debate is that at least more people are running nodes! 2025-09-20T11:54:21Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsym50txl4dqzh24kjpp4xxzu00eejjlv8t7sn4dg8clrg2lm4ya5szyqacas5ch67me84c6hgc8ewgcmxdz9z9ph7e9h3vk4hh47ghtwlhk8sk2fg It’s crazy how the Core vs Knots debate differs between people on Nostr and X.
