It's incredible how many successful entrepreneurs have become followers, think the latest trends are the ones on techcrunch etc. There are very few entrepreneurs left who still think for themselves and are in for the interest of others

That's not what he's comparing himself to, he's not comparing himself to people with sick parents, disabilities or a family to take care of. He's comparing himself to young and educated indulging the life of well-earning

Once you made your first million, you become an Angel investor of course, hacking the startup ecosysstem. :) But you don't spend on cars or shit like that's just baggage. For every new item you own, you have to think of it, you ha

It's funny how many people are still offended by others discovering entrepreneurship. even on hackernews. Anybody an idea why?

Then everybody would have their own startup. Awesome. :)

In the short run, but for every dollar you spend, you give a bit more of your own freedom away.

He's not looking down on anyone or comparing himself with people who are disabled, he's looking at people who have the same responsibilites as him, but rather go for short term gratification than for creating their own freedom. Gr

Well you're a creator and being in the hamster wheel of having a job just doesn't logically make sense to you. You seek freedom to create thing with nothing except from your own neurons. That's why you'll be a millionair

Whenever these things happen to me and my startup, I always get insane bursts of energy. I think if you want to survive in this world, you need to have this ability of a super-sayan that when you very close to death and survive, you only em

Hey, I started Tennis Buddy, thought I'd chip in what we had in mind. Everything we built upon is what what Matt Cohler said last year at TC disrupt to the question that the next big thing in mobile is gonna be that you just "push a button

This is a great idea, however probably the 5th time this has been on Hackernews this year. Again, there are 100 startups all trying the same thing and it just doesn't work, because you have incredibly high critical mass and no marketing cha

Ok and where/how do I get it?

Well with 90% of startups failing and as far as I can tell from the numebers here, 20% of PhDs failing, doing a PhD is 8 times safer.

For me, the 98% of VCs are all like Gandalf the Grey. They have kind of an idea what they are doing, they maybe actually understand 98% of investment, but they just can't get the last 2%. The thing is, they are all followers: Never would th

Stop making career and start making a life. (Finally try that idea you always wanted to do) Do that for 2 months and then get a contracting job where you charge £60/h if you need money.

I just wanted to put it in comparison with the 10000x, YC got with AirBnb and Dropbox.

by wellboy 13y ago
Mind that that's "only" 50x. Still not bad though.

Yeah that's online, that has been solved, I should have mentioned offline. Connecting like-minded people offline is the problem nobody has achieved to solve yet.

Connecting like-minded people, the problem startups have been trying to solve for the last few years, but still haven't succeeded to.

Is there a wallet that is in the cloud and safe of being shut down, because what if my hard drive crashes?

Yeah I should probably do that instead. Thx for the tip and also with Coinbase!

First, all my bitcoins in bitcoin-24.com got frozen, then in bitfloor and now the same thing will happen to mtgox?? Seriously, it took a month until I could access them again. Good that I know better now, because now I will withdraw all my
