These are the crazy things I learned last week.

1/ A crypto company was valued at $5 Billion and is getting sold for $250M to $25M 📉 in less than a year. I am talking about BlockFI.

And you know how much I LOVE cringe videos, especially when it has to do with crypto - like the 4 Billion $ in Bitcoin hackers.

The latest one comes from BlockFI, and it has to do with their fundraising.

The crypto/web3 space is like a soap opera on steroids!

2/ Pretty heavy accusations towards one of the biggest NFT projects - Bored Apes - are flying around, along with lawsuits.

Conspiracy theories, Nazi symbols, mystical gateways to another dimension, and tons of money.

Have you followed the story? What's your opinion? 🤔

3/ There is a saying in the Startup world: Go big or go home. 🚀

Many entrepreneurs don't understand that to be the best, you just have to be the best. No need for hard work.

Does the lion have to work to be a lion? Or a giraffe? Or an armadillo?

Take my advice and see my latest video.

If it is not personal, just make it.

Please subscribe, like and share it - it would mean a lot to me! 🙏

4/ Do you know what a Product Owner is? What about the Product Manager?

What are the differences between these 2 roles? Do you need to hire a Product guy for your Tech startup, or is it better to hire another engineer?

In this 📰 article, our Chief of Chaos describes the core responsibilities and skills required for a successful Product Owner.

Enjoy!
