  @Ilegvm An oldie but goodie response to her This Article is From Mar 26, 2014 Pretty girl in search of rich husband gets reality check from 'J P Morgan CEO' New Delhi: Some years ago, a 25-year-old gold-digger in search of a rich husband stuck her neck out on Craigslist New York asking for tips on landing Mr Moneybags. Ms Pretty, as she called herself, was rewarded by a letter from someone claiming to be the CEO of J P Morgan (never verified) containing a pill so bitter that she took herself and her post off Craigslist. The internet being what it is, however, has kept Ms Pretty's plea and the businesslike deconstruction of her worth as a rich man's potential mate alive and in social media circulation. Seven years after Ms Pretty slunk away tail between legs, the supposed J P Morgan CEO's advice still holds good for others of her tribe. It's also really funny. Ms Pretty's quest to cash in: I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough. I'm here humbly to ask a few questions: 1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym) 2) Which age group should I target? 3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I've met a few girls who don't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys. 4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married) Ms. Pretty The answering salvo: Dear Ms. Pretty, I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money" : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position". If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased". Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool. Hope this reply helps. signed, J.P. Morgan CEO

  10 marketing tips: 1. If you can’t own the “big thing” in people’s minds, own something else. #2 in a market doesn’t win by claiming the same ground as the leader. Study Apple’s “Think Different”. They claimed creativity and differentiation. Own a word, a feeling, a niche. 2. Superior technology does not win. Craigslist, an ugly webpage from 1995, beat polished rivals. Nintendo ships weaker hardware than Sony and Microsoft on purpose, and the Wii outsold both. The Switch did it again. VHS beat the technically better Betamax. Minecraft looks like it was carved out of soap and it necame the best selling game of all time. None of these won by being the most impressive product. They won because networked users became their de facto sales force. 3. Popularity adds to those network effects. Sociologists once conducted an experiment with music. In some versions of the experiment people could see how many times each song had been downloaded. When downloads were visible, hits consolidated. People gravitated toward what they saw that others liked. Many people came to Solana because it is where they saw everyone else going, whether for memecoins, NFTs, or otherwise (and were delighted by the best UX in crypto). Perceived popularity created more popularity, which resulted in momentum and increased network effects. 4. The goal of marketing is not simply awareness. Awareness is the top of a funnel. The ultimate goal is happy customers who become advocates and do your marketing for free. Shouting at strangers is only useful to convert them into customers, making your existing users so happy they do the shouting for you is arguably an even larger part of the equation for success. Word of mouth is the strongest form of marketing. People buy products they see people they trust believing in. 5. Network effects compound and build moats Newspapers didn’t die because news was easier to read online, but because classifieds, their real moat, got eaten by Craigslist. Phones and chatrooms were worthless until enough people joined that joining became worth it. People bought PCs to be compatible with everyone else on PCs. If your product has no network advantage, you’re stuck competing on features , and features are very easily copied. 6. Dominate a niche, then expand outward. A product for everyone is a product targeting no one. Crypto is a top tier offender. New projects try to conquer the world before winning a single existing user base where they already live. If you’re building a new global financial system, start with remittance users, traders, creators getting tipped, etc. Win them completely. Then move to the adjacent niche. 7. Every company should become, at least in part, a media company. Go direct. Build owned distribution. Renting your audience from platforms and press means someone else owns it. Study Apple, Nintendo, Google, Sony, etc. 8. People want to stand FOR something. There’s a fine line between naming problems and being a cynic. Spend more time describing what you are than what you’re not. If you criticize competitors, make it clearly in service of defining yourself. If you do stand against something, Wall Street, banks, whatever, make the alternative you represent clear. 9. You’ll get bored of your message before the market ever hears it. Your team will be sick of the tagline before most of the market has seen it once. People often need to see your brand and USP 7+ times before it even starts to exist in their mind beyond “an ad i saw”. Consistency compounds along with network effects. 10. Be human. People bond with people. Winning brands today aren’t the ones best at drilling jargon into your skull about being cheap and convenient. They’re the ones that feel human. Admit mistakes instead of spinning them. Customers whose problem gets handled honestly will often end up MORE loyal. An accessible founder who owns an L in public earns more trust than an ivory tower brand. People forgive fallibility but not fakeness.

  A solo dev opened Flutter, spent 3 weeks on it, and shipped a ride-hail app a casual user couldn't tell apart from Uber. Yellow branding. Live map. GoabX, GoabXL, GoabBike tiers with prices. Visa 4242 on file. Home, Work, Airport saved. "Confirm GoabX" button. The whole flow. Pause at 0:08. Look at the split screen. Simulator on the right running the sign-up screen. auth_screen.dart on the left — the actual Flutter source with _Chip extending StatelessWidget, _CircleBtn wrapping a GestureDetector, BoxDecoration in black and white, Icon at 17.sp. That's not a mockup. That's a shipped auth flow. What the clone has: → Flutter frontend, one codebase, iOS and Android at once → Google Maps + custom route rendering → Ride-tier chips (X / XL / Bike) → Card-on-file with Visa masking → Google + Apple + Facebook social login stubs What the clone doesn't have: → 5 million active drivers → Regulatory clearance in 10,000 cities → A $60 billion payout rail already routed → Insurance underwriters who approved the safety model → Every dispute-resolution playbook Uber wrote from 2012 to now That's the entire product. Here's what nobody in the "just clone it" space is saying out loud: the interface was never Uber's moat. The moat is a two-sided marketplace with 5 million drivers who show up at 3 AM when you tap a button. You can build the button in Flutter in 3 weeks. You can't build the 5 million drivers in 3 lifetimes. The old loop is dead: study successful app → clone the frontend → deploy on the App Store → wonder where the users went. The new loop: study successful app → identify the offline-supply moat → build the supply first → treat the app as the last 5%. The point worth arguing about: the hardest part of building an Uber isn't Uber. It's convincing a stranger with a car to log in on Tuesday at 3 AM when it's raining. Everything else is a Figma file. I know a founder who spent 18 months writing beautiful marketplace code and shipped to zero drivers. Meanwhile a friend of mine ran Craigslist ads for 2 weeks, found 40 house cleaners in one city, matched them with 60 buyers, took 15%. He didn't need a Flutter app. He had a Google Form. The interface is free. The supply is the whole company. Literally.

  My business partner and I built the taco truck from a used food trailer we found on Craigslist, painted it ourselves in his driveway over a weekend, split every cost down to the propane tanks. He called me on a Sunday to say he'd bought a second truck, said it like an update, not a question, said he'd already lined up a new logo and a new name for it, one that didn't include mine anywhere. I asked whose name was on the LLC for the new one. He said just his, said it was "cleaner that way for taxes." I didn't argue on the phone. I went by the commissary kitchen we shared the next morning and looked at the schedule board, saw our regular Thursday spot at the farmers market now listed under the new truck's name, our truck moved to a Tuesday slot near the highway nobody requests. He was there loading ice when I walked in. He said, "I figured you'd rather keep things simple, focus on the original truck, not stretch yourself thin." I told him that wasn't his decision to make for me. He shrugged, said the market coordinators had already approved the swap, nothing to be done about it now. I called the coordinator myself that afternoon, said I had questions about the vendor agreement, asked her to email me a copy of what he'd submitted. It's sitting in my inbox now, unopened, the subject line just "RE: Vendor Info Request." I keep meaning to read it between shifts, and keep finding a reason not to.

  interesting form of intellect bounty hunting. the new form of 'ask reddit' or 'ask stackoverflow' is coalescing. downstream, i would bet this runs into metaculus + craigslist esque domains. micro prediction markets as reward caches for open problems, with pricing to inform compute + harness direction.

  🧵 the forgotten market the standard pushback on any marketplace founder (few are left) going after horizontal C2C: „it‘s too hard. We looked at this space (and lost a lot of money)“  the core mechanic is trivial:  1. build a a place to buy and sell 2. onboard regular sellers 3. onboard regular buyers 4. match them 5. monetize the network asset  It‘s 2026 and every country has a dominant horizontal marketplace that dates back at least 10-30 yrs Founding dates Desktop era Craigslist: 1995 eBay: 1995 Blocket 🇸🇪: 1996 Ricardo 🇨🇭: 1999 Mercado Libre 🇦🇷: 1999 Gumtree 🇬🇧: 2000 Leboncoin 🇫🇷: 2006 … Mobile era Vinted 🇪🇺: 2008 OfferUp : 2011 Depop: 2011 Carousel 🇸🇬: 2012 Wallapop 🇪🇸: 2013 Facebook Marketplaces: 2016 … Void 2026 Combined valuation of all of them ~$250B I‘ve been trying to find NEW startups over the past year that go after this market and asked investors I talked to if they can point at any. The only one I found that was geared at regular sellers horizontally was tradepost raising $4M last year.  Their last iOS update was 6 months ago and hope that just means a stealth v2 or smth is coming, because it feels strangely lonely.  Like the one lunatic from Switzerland with a tiny team of 2 1/2 and the monetary firepower of a spoon trying to win a ~$250B industry.  $250B only includes what‘s visible: 80% are throwing (un)used goods away or let them depreciate. So why are we/startups are not trying to solve this? It‘s not like it‘s a niche problem or the prize of winning is too small. We now have global solutions for almost anything and our horizontal C2C trade infrastructure is running on Pearl or Java (mostly isolated by country). The UI and UX are like asking kids today to play Command and Conquer and Halo (no, they are not as good as you remember, don‘t try playing them and destroy your awesome memory) there are two camps: a) everyone failed, so it doesn’t work b) verticals win and a newer third one c) agents will replace them I‘m not going to address a) for obvious reasons  b) logical vertical fallacy that consumer convenience revolves around having ten apps to sell or buy something (un)used. c) I see some agent probability for (non-discretionary) B2C and B2B, but C2C would require the 80% offline supply to be online in the first place (which agent is taking the picture?). Automation for regular sellers is still the right move (there is also some element of selling hobby though) But C2C buyers are more like treasure hunters. They love exploring, going to the flea market. It‘s a hobby/passion. Finding that vintage lamp from the 60s for a bargain.  My daughter went happily shopping today and it wasn’t about buying smth specific, it was about the journey much more than the destination. (I personally love discovering and hate shopping btw) We‘re not going to send agents playing beach volleyball and proudly tell our friends we automated leisure.  It‘s why so many of us spend so much time on x, when we could also just ask Claude: „give me cool things to read“.  C2C has this social/culture layer that‘s really hard to capture without a timeline/feed and C2C UI tooling (swipes, taps, maps, connections, etc).  It‘s not as transactional as „how many vitamins does chocolate have?“ We addressed „big market“ and „horizontal UI/UX app layer“  I guess the most important question remains:  Why did nobody solve this yet and users are now even going to private chat groups? The people who tried were beyond smart, well funded (we‘re talking billions that were burnt). Some managed to put a (big) dent in e.g. eBay like Vinted for fashion, but we‘re still ridiculously far away from a Spotify like dominance over the global horizontal C2C app layer. Many failed to win the grand prize. Cold-start funding would be the easy answer (there are many people on earth). This is missing a much bigger issue: we forgot how building C2C works.

  "the info space is saturated" is the most expensive lie in this industry. there's a huge difference between SATURATED and CONCENTRATED. anyone who understands that difference will get filthy rich look at any info niche and you'll see the same thing... one aesthetic swallowed the entire category: Trading → Lamborghinis, penthouse charts, Dubai skyline, 22-year-old in a watch he financed. Agency → same Dubai, rented Rolls, "I was broke 9 months ago," whiteboard, hoodie. Fitness → shirtless 24-year-old with abs he had at 16, screaming about discipline. Real estate → no-money-down, "I closed this off Craigslist," podcast studio nobody records in. every single one of those lanes is a bloodbath. 400 people fighting over the same customer. now ask the question nobody asks: who does that aesthetic actively repel? because that person still wants the outcome. they just refuse to become that guy to get it. the 44-year-old dad who wants $2k a month trading before work and would be embarrassed if his wife saw a Lambo video in his feed. The guy in Ohio who wants $15k a month and to stay in Ohio, near his parents, in his house. the 38-year-old with a bad back and 45 minutes, who cannot be coached by someone who's never been tired. the nurse who wants one duplex. Not thirty doors. One. run the math on any of these. If the dominant aesthetic pulls 15% of the market, generously, then 85% of the buyers in your "saturated" niche have no one speaking to them at all. there is no second option for them to choose. you'd be the only one. this is Counter Positioning, and it's the only reason to enter a crowded market. You don't beat the category leaders. just become answer for everyone the leader repels. I did this with a women's day trading coach. 2,000 followers, $200/month when we started. This past July we hit $250K in a month... in the single most saturated niche on the internet. Not by being a better version of the Lambo guys. By being the opposite of them, on purpose. want the full 25-minute breakdown for free? Like Comment "info" RT Follow it's yours player 🤝

  Day 9 Watch out for these scams! Hi Everyone! Today we’re covering Real Estate and Rental Scams. Real Estate and Rental Scams Real estate-related scams (fake rentals, investment fraud, wire fraud in transactions, title fraud) caused $275.1 million in losses across 12,368 complaints in 2025 according to the FBI IC3 Report — up from $173.6 million across 9,359 complaints in 2024, a 58% increase. These losses often overlap with investment, BEC, and impersonation categories, and rental scams spike further in competitive housing markets. Common variants include fake rental listings on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Zillow, etc. (scammer 'owns' a property they don’t, collects deposits/first month’s rent, then vanishes or demands more). Another major type is wire fraud during home purchases or refinances—scammers compromise emails or spoof closing instructions to divert wire transfers to their accounts. Other types: Fake 'we buy houses' cash offers that lead to lowball or fraudulent contracts; foreclosure rescue scams; phony investment property deals or REITs; and title/deed fraud where criminals forge documents to steal equity or sell properties they don’t own. Social Engineering Tactics Scammers exploit the high stakes, emotion, and complexity of housing transactions, plus urgency in competitive markets. Here’s how: • Create Urgency: 'Act fast or lose the property,' 'other applicants are ready,' or pressure to wire funds same-day for 'closing.' • Impersonate Legitimate Parties: Pose as landlords, realtors, title companies, lenders, or sellers using fake listings, websites, and documents. • Exploit Research: Target specific listings, use real property details and photos from public records, and research victims' timelines. • Build False Trust: Professional photos, fake references, 'virtual tours,' or spoofed emails from lookalike domains. Stay Safe: For rentals: Never wire money or send gift cards for a property you haven’t seen in person or verified. Meet landlords in person and verify ownership. For purchases: Always verify wire instructions verbally with the title company/lender using a known phone number (not from the email). Tips to Avoid • For rentals: Insist on seeing the property in person, verify the landlord owns it (county property records search), and never pay via wire, gift cards, or crypto. Use official rental platforms with buyer/renter protection where possible. • For home purchases/refinances: Establish verbal verification of any last-minute changes to wiring instructions or payee details. Call the title company or lender using a number you look up independently. • Research any 'investment opportunity' or cash buyer thoroughly—check licenses, reviews, and use escrow/title services you choose. • Be wary of deals that seem too good (below-market rent or price with pressure to decide fast). • Use official sources for property records and work with licensed, reputable real estate professionals you verify. If You’re a Victim • Document everything: Listing screenshots, communications, payment proofs, property addresses, and any contracts or wire details. • Block the scammer and report the listing to the platform (Craigslist, Facebook, Zillow, etc.) immediately. • File a police report (especially important for rental deposits or wire fraud) and submit an IC3 report with full details. • Contact your bank or wire service immediately if money was sent—request recall/chargeback and provide police report. For wires, speed matters. • If it was a rental scam, also report to local housing authorities or consumer protection if in your area. For title/ownership issues, consult a real estate attorney quickly. • Monitor credit and consider a freeze if personal/financial info was shared. Wire fraud in real estate closings is often a BEC variant—report it as such to IC3 for priority handling. Check pics/reply/dm for help. @CagneyAvah @DianaPrinceAVAH

  @WexitPepe Otherwise the stuff would go to the junkyard to it’s still worth it for me. Facebook marketplace or Craigslist are the only other viable options and there are 2 major issues: 1) geographical constraints I.E. limited market 2) Everyone wants your stuff for free so you end up lowering the price just to move it. Having sold significant amounts on all platforms I prefer eBay for the smaller hard to sell locally stuff.

  When I saw this log cabin for sale on Craigslist 5 years ago I thought it was a scam. I talked to the 80-year old owner on the phone & still thought it couldn’t be real. It was impressive how elaborate this hoax was. Pulling down the long driveway, I still didn’t know if it would be real then there it was. Perfectly placed on the hill like something out of a fairytale. Everyone else interested in buying the property were going to tear it down. It couldn’t be saved they said. It took me the better part of 2 years but I saved it and in turned it saved me. It made me a believer again.

  3/N But here's the thing: Craigslist ads get you applicants. They don't get you world-class data. That part comes down to how you treat the people collecting it.

  When I was graduating college, I could have taken an $80K/yr job in 2012. Instead, I started a business carrying boxes up and down spiral staircases, driving a beat up $1,500 cargo van I bought off Craigslist. I wasn't passionate about pickup and delivery student storage. I just saw a need from other students who were willing to pay me to do this work. I traded my time for money and built the skills, capital, and network I needed to get to the next level. It's hard to imagine where I'd be if I never took that leap.

  That’s protocol control. I’m asking about economic control. They don’t need to control development, my node, or the miners to matter in a split. Miners will go where the money is. So if Wall Street controls a growing share of the capital, custody, ETFs, and liquidity, and Bitcoin splits, which side gets that money? I’ve been in Bitcoin since 2009. Back then, we had to guess what the damn thing was worth. We’d post on Craigslist and trade BTC for $25 so we could grab a quarter sack, or swap it for PC parts. Trust me, that loyal era of Bitcoiners is gone. When it comes down to it, they’ll go where the money is.

  @JustineBateman I gotta find a car to fix up for fun. No one’s using Craigslist anymore. FB seems to the only place.

  @benwegmann I’ve sold nine phones on Swappa and probably a dozen things on OfferUp and Craigslist over the years, I’ve never once had a problem. I’ve tried selling things on eBay TWICE and both times the seller attempted to scam me. eBay and PayPal are a cesspit

  @Rationale_Male No it's not. I used to run with a whole gaggle of knuckleheads from poor and broken homes. 1 is in prison. The cousins he was raised with are both dead. Some are alcoholics and burnouts who are 30 to 40 years old still living with their parents. The ones that are ok are divorced, sometimes 2x over, or living lives of service doing charity work for troubled kids through churches. The few determiners between me and everyone else I grew up with is slightly more money ( I was lower to middle middle class) and the fact I had a two parent home. Where as most of my friends grew up in poverty , raised by single moms , or an aunt in one case. Or by an alcoholic step mom in another case. I wouldn't trade my life with anyone I was friends with. I wouldn't trade the outcomes or lessons learned between me and them either And given the account I'm replying to, a couple in some instances may have attracted more women when they were 15. But not by the time I was in my 20s , and I'm the one who ended up in a stable marriage with a kid that excels. At best they ended up with baby mamas with kids that curse them out in the grocery store. If they got a woman or a kid at all There's nothing glorious or glamorous about struggling as a youth 1 out of 100 learns amazing lessons from it. Most get trampled by the experience and never exceed the adults that raised them Come back and talk when you know girls that went into porn and it just seemed like a no duh bc her mom sold her *** on Craigslist. Or when your buddy who's mom was a ****** and dad was a unknown John , mom died so Grandma took him in. Grandma dies so he becomes a foster kid . Aunt figures she can get social security check so she brings him in but soon as he's old enough to work odd jobs he has to buy his own toilet paper, toothpaste and grew up using water with cereal bc he wasn't allowed to touch the milk used from his aunt, cousins and whatever man she was sleeping with . He ended up in juvie and later as an adult . prison . Or the twins who were raised my mom and daddy number 3 with 4 other siblings who got beat by their sherrif step father Or the dentists child who got divorced and dentist won custody. Remarried. Dentist gets nailed for dealing drugs. Step mom raisj the child and she's passed out on the couch every night from drinking Or or or..I could write. A book of stories. The fights. The theft rings. The drugs at 13 and 14 years old that most people don't even get offered until they're in college , at best. My childhood first girlfriend was raw dawged ********** at a house party 3 houses from where I grew up. About 2 to 3 months after we broke up. I had to turn down ' my turn'. I was barely 14. She was 13. So yeah. Uh. **** kids struggling. A whole lot of other **** comes along with being raised by struggling parents who are trying to do it alone , they're over worked and come home exhausted and stressed to the point they hide in a bottle or zone out in front of TV while their kids run around tearing down the world.
