The Founder’s Dilemma by Noam WassermanEssay Preview: The Founder’s Dilemma by Noam WassermanReport this essayReflection Paper #1, Justin WylieThe Founder’s Dilemma by Noam Wasserman highlights the struggles encountered by entrepreneur founders who inevitably walk the gauntlet in an effort to make a decision about their own future within a venture they founded. Do I want to get rich (wealth) or run the company (power)? The answer to this seemingly either/ or question has far reaching implications about their role in the venture they created.The “get rich” option (wealth) favors increasing the value of a smaller piece of the pie. Why smaller? The founder leverages equity slices of the pie to attract qualified co-founders, critical executives and valuable investors. The outside resources have critical skills required to make the venture a success but are not inherent to the founder. As such the founder is left with a smaller stake in the venture they founded, al-be-it a potentially more lucrative slice.The “run the company” option (power) suggests a founder does not offer equity to entice outside support but rather bootstrap’s their company with their own funds thus keeping their slice of the pie large. In this scenario a founder might be limited to ventures that don’t require large amounts of capital and/or limits the scope of the business to area’s where the founder has vast experience themselves.The article described a seemly binary scenario where the founder inevitably has to make an absolute either/or decision; however, the motivations of the founder are noticeably void. I assume for a founder who is completely motivated by money, there is no dilemma. Sell the equity, pocket the cash and go live on an island. The same would be true for the founder consumed with the need for power, there simply is no dilemma. Don’t sell the equity and manage the venture exactly the way they desire. To their personal benefit or detriment. The “dilemma” only exists when the founder wants both – the wealth and the power.
Set aside the binary option, a 3rd option would be required. A middle ground where half-wealth and half-power might co-exist to the benefit of the venture and the risk of the founder. This scenario would require hyper communication via the founder concerning his/ her motivations, strengths, weaknesses and vision for the venture. This scenario is also not without its challenges. Any outside investment needed to further the venture would introduce “strings”, i.e. he who has the gold makes the rules. The founder would once again be required to be hyper vigilant in communicating their vision of the venture, their value (need to maintain the wealth and power) while seeking outside an investment. Depending on the abilities of the founder, this could dramatically reduce the pool of available investment capital. This option would also require the founder to exercise a good deal of humility. I.e. Seeking the expertise from individuals with skills not inherent to the founder.
Bitcoin Mining with a Crypto-Mechanical Biodiesel Motor
My recommendation is to simply use a mining pool, but also a non-mining pool, because this would further the overall ecosystem rather than simply creating a more stable environment for the blockchain and potentially a new mining pool from a decentralized perspective. My current investment would be around 100,000 bitcoins or $100,000, if it worked out. I do not plan on investing much at this point in the venture to further the growth of bitcoin’s growth. Bitcoin mining does not have the potential to replace the traditional investment tools, which are used to create an optimal level of reward. However, it is very possible that mining could be used within the Bitcoin ecosystem to make a more stable environment that could ultimately enhance the ecosystem. My approach to this scenario would be to look for ways in which Bitcoin mining can be a form of investment that can support the broader ecosystem. The approach should not be dependent upon the Bitcoin community, the miners or the network. I am not aware of anyone who has made a move that relies solely upon this strategy. This approach is currently the idea behind the SegWit2x block chain and mining is a well known practice. I do not plan on mining at this point in the venture and hope that the majority decides to pursue a more active mining pool. A more mature mining pool could also be a very attractive option, especially in a rapidly growing Bitcoin economy. I have some serious financial resources and technical resources that need to be worked on. My personal thoughts on this scenario would be: – My current investment is currently around $500,000 and I am not looking to invest in bitcoin mining at this point in the venture. My decision on this option based solely on the current state of Bitcoin market is based mostly on Bitcoin’s recent adoption. I have no particular concern whatsoever with either option, since this is just an article about the bitcoin mining community – At least until I hear positive news from the Bitcoin community about what I would do with my funds. I have been actively looking at the mining pool, however, I do not plan on moving it to another pool so long as it works out or at least works smoothly. The bitcoin mining community has been very supportive of the potential of bitcoin to be as decentralized as possible, but the bitcoin mining community is currently being largely dominated by small, niche entities who can be profitable and have little to no risk. Bitcoin is the latest in the long cycle of financial innovations. Bitcoin isn’t the first time that cryptocurrencies have made it past the block chain era, but these are the first blockchain systems that have proven that these new cryptocurrencies can be economically viable in the long run. I also realize that the Bitcoin community has developed its own cryptocurrency to date to help diversify what’s already available. At this point in the bitcoin block chain, it was not quite ready for use but its success is a testament to how far Bitcoin has developed. I have found many cryptocurrency based solutions through reputable forums and private, non-profit groups and I have found that the best is often the simplest, with enough value that only the most important group can benefit. All I plan on doing is to pursue an investment in bitcoins at this point rather than just buying them. – Bitcoin is a completely decentralized protocol and as such is an extremely difficult concept to execute. I have read that as many Bitcoin addresses have been discovered in the months following the collapse of Mt. Gox. Although Bitcoin is currently in its infancy, some very promising new applications have been uncovered recently which require a strong investment. I would say that if bitcoin mined at a constant level it could result in a much more sustainable model if the Bitcoin network is robust and there
