The children game

 Childrens are innocent and playful and they are very good at making up games to play in.

They involve adults easily in the games they play. And the games usually are pure imagination with rules made by the children.

This is perfectly fine as a child, but what if adults do this? I had observed numerous scammy models where people ask for your adult non-imaginary money and promise you impossible things. This is happening now with many crypto projects, but the adults still want to play. This time out of greed.

If you see something being a game and you know something to be a game, expect to have sooner or later losers and winners and the children always win. If you are not the child in the game, it is better to rethink your strategy.

The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
