Working on something non-consensus is a blessing and a curse.

  • Working on something non-consensus is a blessing and a curse.
    • It's a blessing because it has the potential to create discontinuous value.
    • But investors and participants have to believe that it will one day be consensus.
    • One way to do it: make a consensus-style product that adds obvious value.
      • "This thing everyone wants, but better."
    • Then, add a non-consensus bonus.
      • "Here's a bonus feature that's different in a way that changes the game."
    • You get people to see why it's plausible because it's not too out there, but then they see the benefit of the part that's different.
