If it's not viable, it's not a minimum viable product because it's not viable. If it's not something you can sell or at least market to customers, it's not a minimum viable product because it's not a product. If it doesn't meet enough needs in a clear enough way, it's not a minimum viable product because you haven't met the minimum. MVP is not a longterm goal, but it can be an important stepping stone. All three of those words matter, though, not just the "minimum". It has to be a viable product. Once you have an product that is viable, you can start selling it as a solution to some problems and find out what else those paying customers want it to do. Don't give up three years of income making a product more than it has to be, but don't release that small starter version yet if it's buggy or confusing, either.
