Nick Huber (@sweatystartup) reportedWhen 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.

Stephen Davis (@scdavis14633) reported@Ravious101 Learned, never list for free. Put some money on it and let them talk you down. People are leary of free stuff. Next time go craigslist, Facebook is full of crazy people when it comes to buying.

Alex Minecan (@alexpagepilot) reportedthe ugliest product pages on the internet outsell the most beautiful ones and nobody wants to accept this craigslist is ugly. does $1B+/year. the design screams 2003. nobody cares. amazon is ugly. the product page is a wall of text, a dozen images, and bullet points in 4 different fonts. it converts higher than any custom-designed ecom store on earth the pattern: ugly pages convert because they prioritize information density over aesthetics. the buyer doesn't visit your page to admire your design. she visits to answer 5 questions: - does this solve my problem? - can I trust this store? - when will it arrive? - what if I don't like it? - is this a good price? the beautiful page answers 2 of these and hides the rest behind whitespace and animations. the ugly page answers all 5 in the first scroll. she doesn't need the page to look good. she needs the page to answer fast the stores obsessing over design are optimizing for other designers. the stores obsessing over information are optimizing for the buyer. one group wins awards. the other group makes money

JRP (@joeparado) reported@SubxNews Maxwell Street was like Craigslist on the west side. You can get anything you want there. City closed this down because the only money they were making is from permits & license fees. They hated the fact that it was cash-based and decentralized.

Michael Fischer (@Holden_Rye_) reportedI owned $4B in Bitcoin. Imagine its 2009 and you’re in your own little nerdy world when you learn about this thing called digital money. It was so new it sounded like sci-fi. Something that would probably never actually go anywhere. But you didn’t care. You just wanted to understand the technology and the idea behind it. This thing called blockchain. What ******** is that? A ledger? How boring. But wait… Decentralized? The hacker in you raises an eyebrow. “Do tell me more about this Bitcoin.” It was so new that it barely had value, but you were nerdy enough to figure out how and where to get it. Guess where I bought some of my first Bitcoin? From a guy I met at a park in Virginia Beach. He had it listed on Craigslist. I bought 16,000 BTC for $25 because he wanted the cash to buy a quarter sack of ****. And the transaction went down exactly how you’d imagine a nerdy digital drug deal in 2009. Two nerds. One laptop. $25 cash. A handshake in a park. Both wearing hoodies. Both hackers. Except the thing being traded wasn’t illegal. It was Bitcoin. That was Bitcoin back then. Over the following months, I bought and traded for more. Not everything was a cash sale. Sometimes it was PC parts or whatever else somebody wanted. From 2009 through 2010, I owned roughly 60,000 Bitcoin in total. At today’s prices, that would be around $4 billion. Yes. $4,000,000,000. What did it cost me back then? Probably a few grand total. That’s how early this was. We weren’t sitting around calculating what Bitcoin would be worth 17 years later. We were nerds playing with a new technology most of the world didn’t even know existed. And when we tried telling people in traditional finance about it? They laughed at us. Bitcoiners were treated like criminals, drug dealers, hackers and idiots for using some fake internet money instead of fiat. I remember a stockbroker telling me in 2017 that if his firm knew he owned Bitcoin, he could lose his job. Think about that now. Bitcoin is known for its “cycles.” People talk about Bitcoin season and alt season like these concepts came with an instruction manual. They didn’t. People had to watch the market. We had to watch money move from Bitcoin into other coins. Watch what happened around halvings. Watch bubbles form and collapse. Watch retail disappear and eventually come back. Then people compared notes, shared what they saw and slowly mapped the behavior. I was one of those people. Not some guru. Not some billionaire Bitcoin mastermind. There really weren’t any. I was one of many nerds playing around with nerd money and trying to understand what the hell we had found. We had no clue that things we were learning would eventually be studied and used by Wall Street. Larry Fink talks about Bitcoin now. There are Bitcoin ETFs. Institutions own it. Governments debate it. Millions of people around the world know what Bitcoin is. Really think about that. It’s ******* insane to see what Bitcoin became from where I first saw it. We were called criminals. Now they want it. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have tears rolling down my face typing this. Because we built this **** brick by brick. Developers. Miners. Cypherpunks. Hackers. Early users. Weirdos buying Bitcoin on Craigslist. People running nodes from their houses. People teaching each other how the damn thing worked. Nobody gave us permission. Nobody could have stopped us anyway. And now our voices can sometimes feel tiny compared with the institutions that have arrived. But that’s the beautiful part. Bitcoin was designed for exactly this problem. No matter how much money enters Bitcoin, money alone doesn’t get to rewrite the rules. That is what decentralization was supposed to protect. Bitcoin went from nerd money traded in parks for **** and computer parts to an asset sitting on Wall Street. And somehow, underneath all of it, blocks keep coming. To my fellow hackers, the real ones, good job 🫡

Tyler (@Tylerz_55) reportedI've only ever been employed for less than 10 days my entire life, split across 3 different jobs. Funny enough, 2 of those jobs I got scammed. So, I can understand why a lot of young folks may have negative opinions on businesses. 1) Dog walker when I was 19 years old, found a small business on craigslist. Said $13/hour. I spent an hour training with the owner, then went to work the next day. During a normal shift of 6 hours, there'd be a scheduled route for all the clients. Many of the clients were 15-20 minutes away from each other, and you didn't get paid for the travel time. Additionally, gas wasn't reimbursed. Net I was making about $5-6/hour. quit the next day, guy seemed annoyed 2) Cable salesman for DirectTV, but I didn't work for corporate directly. Some guy who ran a 3rd party sales business through them and had a booth inside of Costco. We would stand at the entrance and try to get customers to the booth to sell them cable. Pay was $10+ 20% commission I did nearly a full week of training to start off -- the work was paid to be clear, that part wasn't the scam. However, it wasn't until after that entire week did he show me the employment contract. The catch? You only got the 20% commission once you got over $1000 in sales, and that number was reset weekly. Thus $1200 in sales would only result in commission on the $200 surplus = $40 instead of $240 He didn't even apologize for the lack of clarity, in fact, he doubled down: "If you do a lot of commission sales why's that a problem?"

Pete Mogck (@peteyboardman) reportedOur first warehouse was a sublease in the Longfellow neighborhood of South Minneapolis. A glorified garage, really. We shared it with other businesses and made every square foot count. Selling on Craigslist was still a thing. We popped up in malls around Christmas and ran Groupon offers to find customers wherever we could. Once we made a little money, we immediately bought an old Volkswagen truck. It broke down every time we drove it and took up valuable warehouse space. 💀 But it was “cool” Looking back, the first six years were about figuring out how to run a business. The last six have been about building one that can sustain itself. There was no clean transition between the two. No moment where we suddenly knew what we were doing. We just slowly got better at making decisions, hiring people, managing money, and admitting when something wasn’t working. A lot of the things that helped us survive early on, eventually held us back. Doing everything ourselves. Saying yes to every opportunity. Hiring only people we already knew. Making decisions based on instinct instead of numbers. Those things weren’t necessarily wrong at the time. They were just part of the stage we were in. Every version of the business requires a slightly different version of us. I’m glad we didn’t wait until we were ready. We never would have started.
