In short: Right now NFT's are built on an absolute house of cards constructed by the people selling them.

It is likely that _every_ NFT sold so far will be broken within a decade.

Will that make them worthless? Hard to say

You spend a year as PM of facebook voice before quitting and traveling across south east asia for a year.

It's not all bad. you had a hell of a ride, and made some good money.

You vow to only work on enterprise saas for the rest of your career

the end.

It worked in the tech bubble, because the hype cycle drove in so many tech people that you hit critical mass. You can't replicate that magic in every community

The end of the story isn't so much fun. growth slows. users churn. You end up getting acquired for $90M by facebook.

Recording feature ships.

Sadly - it flops.

When creators care more about the recording, they stop inviting in random audience members. The fun of "live" is gone.

Listeners: what's the point of showing up live? why not just listen to the podcast later?

3 - On Clubhouse, if you join a convo 45 minutes late, you missed the best talking points and might be lost.

But with Twitch, the "game stores the context". No matter when I join, I look at the game and I know what the player is doing. So it's "live" but not "urgent".

Those other apps (IG, Tiktok etc.) have millions of pieces of content to choose from. So their algorithms get really really good at finding juicy content for you right away.

But clubhouse is LIVE.

So you need something INTERESTING that's ALSO happening RIGHT NOW.

It keeps going. Logan Paul. Beeple.

Gary V sees that you've created a new place to yell, and immediately starts a room telling 24 year olds if they really want to make money, just move back in with their parents & sell their parents furniture on craigslist.

So... everyone seems to think clubhouse is the "next big thing" - but I think it's going to fail.

Here's how I think it all goes down..

I can give you lots more. With your phone number, it’s scary how much I can learn about you from the phone network. Your exact location, your home address…

I can listen in on your calls or sms without you knowing. Redirect calls and sms. Get your imsi.

The entire phone system was designed assuming that it was a closed system. Security was all physical. If you can connect, you must be authorized.

Opening it up and connecting it to the internet has created a wonderful mess.

New: this is truly insane. For $16, a hacker rerouted my texts; received messages meant for me; broke into my online accounts. This isn't SIM jacking or SS7.

Anyway if you're wondering what you've been missing on Twitter, today Twitter started instantly autobanning anyone who said the word "Memphis" and did not figure out what had happened and fix it for like six hours
The entire time people were experimentally tweeting "Wait, do you really get banned if you say 'Memphis'?" and getting banned
