That must be an accounting nightnare though? Like every coffee you buy with Bitcoin is a capital gain?
What will the future of new products look like with AI? I believe taste will play a key role:
Entrepreneurship is gonna look a lot more like art than business because the only moat left will be taste, not technicality. The role of art has always been to detect the signs of cultural change—artists find creative arbitrages, saying what people think before they realize it themselves. So the future of consumer products depends on how well you can detect, define, and create what people want before they know it. Traditional market research might be less useful because most people don’t know/can’t articulate what they want—it’s up to the artistically intuitive and psychologically inclined thinkers to find the local religion or patterns of belief and desire in a given market.

🔚 Hope this helps someone out there looking to break into Product Management. We all start somewhere
This approach has worked well for several friends I've mentored. It might not be the conventional path, but sometimes that's exactly what you need to stand out.
The market is tough right now for entry-level positions. But remember: Every PM started somewhere. Focus on proving your value through actual work, not just applications.
CV tip: Only include relevant experience. Remove unrelated jobs. Be precise about your product experience – don't inflate numbers. Quality > Quantity.
Don't code? No problem. Use AI tools (like Claude) to help with development. But learning basic coding never hurts. The key is being resourceful and shipping something people actually use.
Another approach: Launch 1-2 real projects for local non-profits or small businesses. This forces you to:
Talk to users
Build something real
Iterate on feedback
Be resourceful
Perfect PM experience 😉
Great PMs think like founders. Show this by doing upfront work for products you love. Yes, this means investing time without guaranteed returns – but it's a way to stand out in a crowded market.
But here's the key: Don't lead with your CV. Instead, show them real product work:
Share product improvement ideas (e.g Redesign their onboarding flow for better conversions)
Share new product ideas
Suggest website tweaks
Point out and fix issues
Share market expansion analysis
Find 5-10 small startups you love (crypto startups are often way more remote-friendly than startups in other sectors in my experience). Reach out even if they don't have any openings and be willing to do the work: e.g paid/unpaid 3-6 month internships with a 1-month trial period
Want to get hired? Prove you can already do the job. And I don't mean just having a CV – I mean actually doing the work. Here's what I'd do 👇
🧵 I've spent the last 6+ years as part of the Product Team at @Buffer (where we embrace remote work, 4-day weeks, and async culture) and 10+ years in Product Management. Recently got an email asking for advice on breaking into Product Management. Here's what I shared:
We're building a new service at Buffer to help creators and small businesses build an audience by making sure you can easily stay on top of your comments. Any requests? Suggestions or Ideas? We'd love to hear them
