Lately, I’ve come up with so many product ideas, only to reject them one by one.
I hate AI so much. Back in the day, if you knew how to code, you could become some so-called tech genius. You could throw together a few tools or scripts and have plenty of chances to get rich. Now that AI is everywhere, anyone can build things, and even selling shovels has become a losing business.
I’ve been through the wars—from being a top hunter to becoming a trader, and then spending every day sucking up to people for referral commissions. What a story of a high-flying start and a steady decline. Most of the friends who were around at the same time have left the scene, but the ones who stayed have become big shots. I’m the only one still scraping by, asking them to sign up through my referral link.
When I see people making money trading, I admit I feel tempted too. I’m not satisfied with my own returns either. But as an engineer, I know all too well that in this space, the big money comes from riding the industry’s growth; profiting from market movements is always the lesser path. That’s not to say trading is bad—it’s just that I failed at it, and this path isn’t for me.
For me, building my own product and solving a genuine market need or pain point means one success could bring outsized returns. But after thinking about it for so long, I can’t even figure out what the market needs anymore. Is crypto really all about ruthless trading now?
AI, slow down a little, will you? Miss three days of learning and you’re already behind.
