Henry Ford showed that making tech affordable can reveal its true value, as he did with cars. The Metaverse, on the other hand, shows that even bold ideas need the right timing to gain traction. Tesla, too, started with exclusivity, but people embraced it once they saw the long-term vision. Sometimes, what seems obvious just needs the right conditions to thrive.
Thank you Andrew, this is exactly what (and when) I needed; simple to understand and complex to implement at the same time. Will follow the advice of going for the target customers’ perspective.
When I'm so ingrained in a topic and sweating on the detail I struggle to zoom out to this 'simple' level... and communicating to stakeholders suffers as a result. Really appreciated this post - thanks Andrew!
UH WHAT: A social network for funding. Including rapid tokenized p2p payments.
WTF: 5 zero-to-one proprietary components nobody can imagine til they see them. All unfair competitive advantages.
DOUBLE WTF: A better way to tell a story, a better way to give, a way to give better.
Examples: The first touchscreen iPhone, and, The SX-70, the first instant land camera. Two devices for the palm of your hand.
Coming: Anyone can tell a visual story, be a creator, and share it with the world from the palm of your hand. The ultimate creator/giving economy. Democratizing giving on mobile for the masses in a new emerging Web2/3 world.

Metaverse is not a timing problem. It's the lack of inherent value creation.

The cleverer your idea, the dumber the execution has to be.

Henry Ford democratized (mass assembly) personal auto ownership.
SIMPLE: pledge + circle = pledgcircle Two powerful words compounded.
The art of giving....simplified.
OK.GOT: An app for giving.
HUH: Your everything app for giving.
