CoinGeek’s Alex Moon joined Brittany Faslun on the Brittany Bitz podcast to discuss Bitcoin SV, entrepreneurship on the blockchain, and the grand vision of Bitcoin as a global network.
How do we get people to think in more entrepreneurial terms?
Faslun begins the conversation by asking Moon how we can get people in BSV to think in more business-minded ways.
Moon replies without hesitation that “BSV is the plumbing.” He thinks this is a key concept for others to understand. Aside from this, he believes people should think about how they will change the world and why they exist, noting that this is what people really buy into.
Moon brings up legendary marketing philosopher Simon Sinek and his concept of the Golden Circle. Sinek talks about why, how, and what as the key stages in product development rather than what, how, and then why as the order in which most entrepreneurs tackle it. He says that CoinGeek approached things this way, getting the why right first before moving on to how and what, and encourages other entrepreneurs on BSV to focus on how they communicate that to attract and retain customers.
Faslun asks Moon if those involved in BSV should stop talking about why it’s better and just demonstrate it. He replies that talking about why it’s better has its place in specific contexts but that, ultimately, just using it and showing how it works is the way forward. He emphasizes that it’s plumbing, similar to the TCP/IP protocol he’s using to communicate with Faslun on the podcast.
Giving examples of great apps that work using BSV, Moon mentions Haste Arcade, La Mint, TonicPow, and Genuine Retweets. Bitcoin powers these, but the customers don’t need to know that. “They’re just great apps,” Moon says, driving his point home.
How does BSV fix different industries and enable them to provide the services we need?
Moon responds to this question by saying that it depends on the challenges of the industry concerned. Giving the example…
