The easiest way to lose money in crypto?

Ignoring these 6 boring questions.

1. Is it a real company or just a project/Discord?
2. Are the founders doxxed or anonymous and does the reason make sense?
3. Is there an actual product, not just a deck + token?
4. Do the founders have skin in the game (locked, meaningful)?
5. Is there a real team, or just a solo “visionary” and a Telegram app?
6. Do they have any revenue or real users, or only “community size” and promises?

If it fails most of these, it’s not an investment you are making, its a donation.

Confession: I got rugged… by a blockchain dating app.
Now it’s a funny story and a checklist I use before investing a dirham or a minute.

Your biggest risk in business or crypto isn’t the market. It’s you burning out.

Fresh air, Walks, Training, Breathing, Family, Friends.
Protect yourself, or the whole system fails.

Investors look at many factors when evaluating a pitch, but after pitching to both Web3 investors and institutional (Web2) investors, I’ve noticed the same three questions come up most often, regardless of the market cycle or thesis.

As a founder who gave up the 9-5, the hardest part is getting off the fence and going on all in. You need the "No backup plan" mindset and commit! #startup #founder #dubai #entrepreneur #Web3 #Aİ #recruitment
