Experimenting with Discord/Telegram

~ michael_msft ~ Leave a comment

Update :: In trying to manage firewalls and make group voice chats easier – I am also messing with discord – https://discord.gg/sp3CckG

——-

Been a regular blogger for years – it serves a purpose for me. I get to write and some people read it.

I love twitter but my reach is pretty weak.

I never got into Snapchat and I don’t use Facebook or Instagram much.

People use chat a ton.

With that premise I thought I would experiment with telegram supergroups – the idea is have a place to share and chat but with a slightly different goal than most.

In my own life and work I try to connect people with other people I know to help folks find jobs, solve a business problem, land a customer or raise funds – not just from SeedPlus either.

It’s the new always on version of pay it forward. Will it work or get used? I don’t know but I think it’s worth a shot.

Matthew McConaughey’s Brother: Bitcoin Is ‘Like Trading Underwear’ | Fortune

This is a fun read. Always liked Matthew – didn’t know his brother was a VC.

Matthew McConaughey’s Brother: Bitcoin Is ‘Like Trading Underwear’ | Fortune:

What are some of the key elements you look for in a founder or company before investing?

McConaughey: We look for integrity and for someone who’s willing to hang in there. We’re not used to getting rich overnight. We don’t know anything about that. We weren’t these fat-bellied guys who had all this money at age 30. I mean, it happened for me one time but it only lasted a day or two. I was a Donald Trump millionaire for like a day and a half. It was a slow process. We don’t have any sympathy for these guys who want to get rich quick. We didn’t make our money until we were 50 years old.
