@codyschneiderxx It's definitely worth testing.

It depends on the nature of your newsletter.

If your newsletter is always a "link roundup" it can work (thinking about @hnshah's SaaS newsletter)

Replying to @rsobers
@rsobers Yup.

What’s the saying?

It’s way easier to spot a speck of sawdust in someone else’s eye, than the plank in your own eye?

Are our startups unintentionally (or intentionally!) creating externalities?

If so, what are we going to do about it?

(Btw, I’m really not pointing my finger at anyone. I’m examining my own motivation here more than anything else)

@OlutosinFashusi Was in a coffee shop the other day, and an unemployed guy turns to me and says: “I’ve spent $1,800 on Clash of Clans.”

@lowestdef Yup. And depending on your standards, what’s leftover can get super slim.

Does anyone have any advice on being Canadian, and being a shareholder in an American startup?

Specifically: what are the tax implications?

(Is this something @stripe atlas covers?)

Replying to @MattHayashi33
@MattHayashi33 Apple should be "engineering for enjoyment" as opposed to "engineering for engagement."

Ideas:
- make "no notifications" the default setting
- make it easy for people to track usage
- prompt folks to "get off phone" when they go over self-imposed limits

@matdrewin @TheIlyaP Deferring personal tax: you keep the cash in the business, and wait until your personal tax rate goes down (retirement)

Replying to @TheIlyaVP
@TheIlyaP You want more retained earnings in the business so you can:

- invest in growth
- invest in new projects
- build up a cash reserve
- defer tax

@patio11 @markbutlershow Hey Mark, here are my current (un-audited) numbers, plus some modeling.

I'll DM you my full income statement. I'd love to have you take a look.

Replying to @MrSimonBennett
@MrSimonBennett Yes. Same in Canada, but many solopreneurs use dividends as personal income (for tax reasons).

The point being, your profit is what's left over *after* you've paid yourself.

@drewwilson @toddo Lots of steps need to happen here:

1. Easier way to acquire crypto
2. Easier way to store + access crypto
3. Easier way to spend crypto

All of this needs to be accessible on the consumer & retailer side.

I’m still skeptical.

Replying to @toddo
@toddo @drewwilson Do you think people will start spending crypto? Unless there’s a stable price, it feels like people will hold (or dump).

Also: I’m pretty technical, and I find acquiring, holding, and trading crypto *very* confusing.

@rkcudjoe It really depends on the group.

It’s one reason that folks who are already in the group tend to win.

They observe the struggle their peers are having, and then do something about it.

@MoreWillie Yeah, I found that just grabbing a few highlight clips worked best (way less work - actually possible) 😂

@TheOmarZenhom loved hearing your friendly voice on @noahkagan’s pod. 🙌

It’s been too long since we’ve hung out. I’m speaking in Vegas Apr 28 - May 4. You in town for anything then? 🙏
