However as a potential customer interested in this space - I'm not sure the pricing/value prop is competitive for me. I used a service called InsideTracker (lab based blood test) earlier this year which measures 43 biomarkers (including hsCRP - my result was 0.4). I think I paid ~$500 for it but that gives a much more holistic view.
Is there a case for tracking hsCRP more frequently if my lifestyle is relatively healthy? Are there a few other biomarkers you could include for tracking more regularly with a finger prick? I could see at-home tests being more convenient.
It feels weird that supporting crypto almost feels like a contrarian view judging from the comments here.
It sounds like the author is describing crypto as a ponzi (rather than a bubble) and I'd agree too if crypto never ends up on delivering real value. But it already has in terms in efficiencies (e.g. money transfer and cutting out middlemen is a 10x improvement) and I definitely think we're starting to see more.
I think that crypto hasn't quite integrated with society yet (yet is the key word). Once it does, crypto will be operating less within its own sandbox and will have more impact on society. It needs to marry into our legal system and deal more with oracles bridging the real world into the crypto world.
When you say Bitcoin is 13 years old you're only looking at it from a technology standpoint. It's made a few strides in this time period, but I think we could also consider Bitcoin as a monetary good. From that lens, as something to think about, how long did it take for gold to be accepted as currency?
The rest of crypto is much less than 13 years old and I think we'll start seeing more of their impact in the next 5 years.
Have you thought about de-emphasizing the less relevant experiences? Find the companies you're interested in, tailor your resumé to be mostly what is applicable, and then hint at your expanded experience. As an example, a one-liner on "optics, microwave engineering, and semiconductor fabrication" says a lot already.
Well, if you invested $25mm, saying such a thing would be perfectly reasonable.
Also, keep in mind the context of the quote.. it's not referring to the current state of the product. There's probably a lot more we haven't seen from this article.
