    You can learn more about a product manager by analyzing their work in version 1.1 rather 1.0 The second release truly separates the good from the great Who did they listen to? Are they reading the customer? What did (or didn’t) they modify? How did they deal with pressure?

    CoinBase partnering with BlackRock is simply awesome for the space (if it happens) An ETF with both parties involved will widen the aperture of the market, bringing much needed trust and accessibility I sure hope this comes to fruition

    My investment criteria: * Can this explode? * What is the product hook? * What is the distribution trick? * What’s the friction to scale? Can the team solve? * How big can it get? * What makes it hard to copy? Blog post coming soon. Thx for format.

    My investment criteria.
