The main thing to consider when starting a niche side hustle is, that it should be a product you can scale up and distribute only on digital pathways or even automate the whole process if possible.

Let's take a mechanic as an example too: you should create a blog about cars, repairs, old timers, etc. and after the traffic is there, you should drop your e-books (i.e. How to do XYZ, Maintaining your car, Tips and Tricks from a mechanic...) for a low price i.e. 9,90$.

Plus: learn how to place ads from @AdsAlchemist on twitter.

Keep up the good work guys. Yeah the teen selling weed was something. I didn't know the mariachi band was denied at the perimeter. My observation:

* The 2 early 20 kids I talked to skipped college altogether. I have had jobs where kids would work fresh out of high school. We might be seeing the college bubble beginning to pop with attendance going down.

even most normies realise that for 99% of degrees the cost/benefit just isn't there anymore, will be interesting to see how it plays out

It's the parents that are pushing the kids to college. It's going to be harder in the coming years and at the risk of doxxing myself I'm doing my part to help out. By doing this I want to create win win partnerships with everybody...well except for the higher ed and banking cartel.

No college should charge those insane prices. Our education system is hilariously outdated.

No problem! Yeah when you think about the optics now it makes sense as to why everyone was so worried. In the end the troll is worth the memories. And. Everyone got to see their friends/family so it was a win.

The creativity of BTB is insane. From the island to trolling, let alone the analysis, the substack is severely undervalued at $100/yr. Never had this much fun online. God bless y'all

The way we win (not just the substack referring to all of us including commenters) is through creativity. Then no one can copy, it becomes more decentralized and we recruit more people for niche tasks and helping improve the community.

**Idea for founding member Degens: auto subscription to the new Defi stack when it drops

Sure this is reasonable will have to look to figure out how we can see which ones refunded and switched off of it. If you threw in $300 will definitely give you the defi one for free for a year.

I agree. It would be awesome to have some sort of Founding Member "Bonus Access". Either way, I'm still going to subscribe to the Defi stack. Bowtied Bull has provided the most valuable content in the world in my opinion. Can't wait to move to Degen Island in 2035.

The recent portfolio update has no stakes in $BNB, even though BTB were bullish then. So is it overvalued at this point?

You will have to wait a whopping 3-5 days to find out whats going on!

Seems like it’s just the temporary training wheels to guide Defi projects while the true decentralized ETH makes their gas fees more efficient

I thought you guys were anti BInance/BSC because it’s centralized and the CZ guy/CCP can just do whatever they want

Looking forward. But the more I read the more I think BSC ecosystem is just a Chinese quasi-centralized td ameritrade with smart contracts

Yeah the VC/HFs are in the pump and dump game it is incredibly obvious. When you see "for institutional investors" it just means trying to pump and dump usually

Exactly, people in the 20s and 30s are lucky to have these type of knowledge organized in such a precise and focused matter.
