I experienced #1 a year ago.

A long time ago now, I had a cofounder. 

We both felt the pain of crypto taxes in 2022 after using Solana. And we decided to solve it. 

So for the last few months of 2022, I hunkered down to build the mvp. We launched Jan 1, 2023.

At first it was very exciting. People lovedddd what we built.

But then tax season ended. And the excitement with it. 

The seasonality makes monitoring your emotions very hard. After working together for a year, he had lost interest.

And at this time, fell in love with memecoins. We decided to build an app to make it easier for retail to buy them.

I have no problems with memecoins, but as we started to get users for that. And they started to only lose money. 

I realized this was not a product I would use myself. So I probably shouldn’t be selling it. 

I’m a lot happier personally following #1 on this list. But also a lot poorer 😂
