Saturday founder conversation: Product Market Fit. I was thinking about @pmarca’s legendary post, “The Only Thing that Matters,” so I re-read the post and called @BobBodily to chat about it. It’s easy to get distracted, but in the end PMF is the only thing that matters. I’m

Yesterday I said that Internet Computer (ICP token) is MASSIVELY undervalued. I think ICP will grow 10x. Here are 7 reasons to back up that claim:.

The Internet Computer is amazing blockchain technology with endless possibilities 🤯 — but a bit overwhelming at first. 😬. So, I decide to make it super easy. Here’s a list of VERY easy ways to start learning about #InternetComputer:.

Chris Dixon is the top crypto investor in the world, managing a $7.6B fund. But you probably haven't heard of Internet Computer, one of his biggest investments. So why is @cdixon bullish on the #InternetComputer?. 5 Massive Opportunities for the Internet Computer ↓

1) For all the excitement of Ethereum, Solana, Terra, Avalanche, et al. — none can actually store data on chain affordably. It costs millions to store just 1 GB of data on ETH, and at least $1m to store 1 GB on SOL. How much is 1 GB of data on ICP for one year? $5.

I’ve only posted about Internet Computer a few times, but — the community is unbelievable. I’ve never encountered a more active, motivated, friendly group on the internet. Pretty inspiring. And contagious.
The IC community is the brightest and kindest! We are honored to be part of this ecosystem with you all!!. Now lets build some dope stuff, change the world and have fun while we’re at it!. #StrongerTogether $ICP.

Today's a great day to talk about NFTs on the #InternetComputer!. Why do some projects sell out and others don't? If a project doesn't sell out on day 1, is it a bad project? If it does sell out on day 1, is it a good project?. Let's go through this in detail 👇.

2) With storage costs so high, majority of projects are hosted on centralized 3rd party cloud servers: AWS, Azure, etc. It’s hard to get excited about decentralized software that is dependent on centralized servers. Not a problem on Internet Computer—100% decentralized on-chain.

3) Every crypto fan has felt the pain of gas fees. Exorbitant on ETH, somewhat manageable on other chains. Guess what? ICP has “reverse gas fees,” paid by the developer. Across @Entrepot collections in the last 3 months (millions in volume) this is our grand total in fees: <$20.

7) Last point is qualitative. I’ve worked with a lot of people heavily invested in ICP and there are a TON of early ETH supporters (devs, investors, etc.) . These are crypto OGs who moved from ETH to the #InternetComputer. Huge crypto wisdom & experience built into the ecosystem.

I’m case you’re not familiar: ICP is massively undervalued. So much happening on #InternetComputer right now.

6) Almost every coin with momentum has benefited from super-hyped DEFI projects. Internet Computer launched more recently, and just enabled the key feature (ICP in canisters) to make DEFI possible. Watch for a DEFI boom on the IC 3-6 months after Thanksgiving.

4) All the newer chains have solved this problem but it needs to be said: Transaction speed on the Internet Computer is web speed. TX times on BTC and ETH are basically unusable for anything but financial transfers. IC transactions occur in seconds, not minutes or hours.

@VicVijayakumar I think about this a lot. I think there’s something in the brain’s ability to process abstract vs concrete. Cutting cost is immediate, concrete, and simple. Adding income is much more abstract and complex. One is intuitive, the other is not. I agree with you 100% of course.

Improve your writing by eliminating cliches. People use cliches when they don’t want to exert effort to find their own way of expressing something. Cliches make your writing less authentic. Cliches signal to your readers that they can stop paying attention.

Here’s a reminder that the Internet Computer Protocol ($ICP) blockchain has:. - no gas fees.- cheap, on-chain storage.- phenomenal speed. If you want to build web products with the benefits of blockchain, ICP is the answer. Every other chain has too many trade-offs. 💎👐.

@lpolovets I feel like I’m seeing many responses to this that are missing the point. The point isn’t number of followers or “how many engagements” you get on a post, because that isn’t networking. The point is that you can start authentic conversations with so many people.

Cronics are the first NFTs launched on Internet Computer. At launch they sold for ~$8 USD. Current floor in the @EntrepotApp market is ~$800 USD. 😮. And the game hasn't even launched yet!.

Proud to be part of the 8-year-gang with some of my $ICP locked in an 8-year-neuron, with no dissolve. Takes belief and commitment but I’m very bullish on the #internetcomputer.
Fun Fact: There are 112.8M $ICP in 8-year neurons. Of those, 110.8M (98.2%) are still locked. That's 23.1% of TOTAL $ICP supply maximally committed. #8YearGang #MaximumCommitment.
