Reflection: Everything is just a wrapper for a winner. The game is literally: 1. Arbitrage a money printer into a new market 2. Make bank on it until the gap closes 3. Build your own vision — or go back to step 1 This is why it’s often more logical to fork or innovate on top of what’s already working. Is it novel? Probably not by mainstream standards. But it does give you as a startup or builder the best chance to live another day. And that’s something the romanticized pursuit of “pure innovation” often forgets. First thing you need to do is to survive.
