Thanks so much Aaron! Having amazing YC partners certainly helps.
The biggest learning for me has been the power of trust. Working with amazing people, partners, investors, etc. who are deeply trusted means that the friction of every task, project, job, launch, deal is much easier. A small decrease in friction at each small step of the way compounds into a faster and faster flywheel of momentum over time.
Two things:
1. We're hiring and would love to speak with you: www.cointracker.io/about
2. When crypto ends up being properly treated as a currency, it may take off in such a significant way that our portfolio tracking and other related products may drown out our tax business entirely
Thanks for the feedback. We'd love your thoughts here as we think through this: https://feedback.cointracker.io/features/p/unified-pricing

It was a pleasure learning from Aaron during YC. Perhaps best of all was his uncanny ability to take some pieced together ideas that founders had but which didn't make any sense and re-structure them into the most compelling and eloquent pitches I've ever heard. Can't wait to see how you apply yourself next!
A 50% (opt-in) discount instead of a competitive payment marketplace. What a deal for Apple.

Seems long overdue given the value that most users are getting from Netflix plus the relative inability for most traditional Hollywood studios to produce films at previous rates for the foreseeable future.
I recently switched from Lemonade to Goodcover and the process couldn't have been easier (and saved money too!). Huge fan, congrats to the team.
Most crypto users have custodial assets (e.g. those held on an exchange) which don't have a unique address. Therefore we need some identity layer to tie together a specific users transactions for tax purposes. That can be Google sign-in, Coinbase sign-in, throwaway email + password

Google does a bunch of things that are less than ideal. What this complaint alleges doesn't seem to be one of those things.
Here's Google's response: https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/public-policy/respo...
"under [psychedelic mushroom's] influence I realized that most of my consciousness was unknown to me. It was as if I had spent my life in a garden until then, and now I suddenly discovered that this garden has a gate through which I can enter a strange and wonderful forest, that was largely unknown to me."
Crazy that psychedelics are illegal in so many places. There certainly are risks that need to be taken seriously, but their potential seems incredible.

America is a lot more poor than these statistics let on when compared to the rest of the first world.

tl;dr — when labor markets are artificially depressed by employers with monopsony power (e.g. workers only have one employer to work for), a minimum wage can improve efficiency of the marketplace.
Enjoyed the dispassionate take on the age old minimum wage question. It is difficult to figure out which people are in monopsony labor markets because it depends on so many things including geography and even within a zip code could vary based on a variety of factors such as internet access, public transportation access, etc. Makes sense that in some cases, when there is only one employer, they are artificially driving the price of labor down because people have no choice.
Have policymakers considered other solutions to this monopsony problem? For example guaranteed government jobs that pay a certain $ amount adjusted for the geography to incentivize private sector to match or beat that price?
Seemed to be on the cusp of an important change; an inflection point
Thanks for sharing your journey. Curious, what makes you think that the food system is at an inflection point?
Don't blame you ... it's super confusing
