This is probably the most uncomfortable crypto story I've read this year

the whole trump crypto thing has me thinking about who these launches actually make money for

spent maybe ten minutes reading through the disclosures earlier and just sat with it after. from what ive seen reported, most of the retail buyers who came in on the hype are underwater, and the people running the ecosystem walked with a pretty staggering number. thats not a unique story in crypto btw, most launches follow the same shape.

the trump attachment just makes this one impossible to ignore.

what i keep coming back to is how differently id have processed this a few years ago. back then id probably have spent an hour convincing myself i was missing something. now the first question in my head is basically, would i want to hold this if you stripped the celebrity off. usually the answer is pretty quickly no, which makes the decision easy in a way it didnt used to be.

think this is why my portfolio has slowly gotten more boring. not because ive become more disciplined. more that ive stopped confusing "this is interesting to read about" with this is something i should buy.

still fun to follow the story. still open bitpanda a few times a week to see what people are moving into. just dont trade off it anymore

is "fated mates" lazy or am I just bitter because I can't make mine work

genuinely asking cause I'm writing one and halfway through I started resenting the whole trope because the bond does so much heavy lifting that I stopped having to earn the romance they're drawn together because Magic Says So. cool. but now when they fall for each other it doesn't feel like they chose it, it feels like the plot assigned it

is there a way to write fated mates where the fate is the start of the problem and not the answer to it? everything I love (acotar, serpent and dove kind of) seems to make them fight the bond for ages. is that the trick, just make them hate that it's happening

Got my first custom made sneakers from Knickgasm 👟

Never really looked into custom sneakers before but somehow ended up ordering these from Knickgasm

Got them today and honestly wasn't sure what to expect They're definitely better than anything else I own but I kinda mess with them

I still can't decide if they're actually cool or I just spent money on a pair of meme shoes

books with a really satisfying "the whole thing was connected" ending

I love that feeling when you finish a book and realize every little thing that seemed random was actually load-bearing. the throwaway detail in chapter two pays off in chapter forty. the whole structure clicks into place and you want to immediately reread it knowing what you know now

​

what books gave you that. the ones where the ending makes you sit back and go "oh, it was ALL on purpose." spoiler-free recs ideally so I get the full effect

I have 40,000 words of worldbuilding and barely any actual story, please tell me i'm not alone

let me paint the picture for you, i've a fully mapped magic system with hard rules and costs and i have the political history of a continent going back 800 years languages, partial ones, but still and i have gods, and a schism between the gods, and the religious war that followed the schism.

and still barely have, generously, one chapter of actual story

​

i know what happened here.. the worldbuilding is the fun part and i kept building because it felt productive while quietly being the most elaborate procrastination known to man and now i'm a little scared to start the actual book because what if the story can't live up to the world

​

i feel like every serious worldbuilder has hit this exact wall and the iceberg gets so big the ship can't move.

where do you all talk about this? is there any solution even? i want a community of people who get the worldbuilding disease and have figured out how to actually write the book anyway, if not lets build some where we can share recs

which author would you trust to write your eulogy and which one would absolutely ruin it

I'd want terry pratchett. he will make everyone laugh and then absolutely wreck them in the last line, which is exactly the funeral energy I'm going for and I would NOT want cormac mccarthy because there would be no punctuation and somebody would die of dysentery halfway through and the sun would be described as a bleeding wound four times

​

go. dream eulogist and worst possible choice

How do pharmacies handle medication adherence?

yooo everyone

I'm a medical student currently building DoseMint, a platform focused on helping pharmacies improve medication adherence through refill reminders and medicine reminders.

While working on this, I realized I don't actually know how most pharmacies handle this today.

For pharmacy owners and pharmacists here:

Do you remind patients when it's time to refill their medicines?

Do you remind them to take their medicines on time?

Or is this usually left entirely to the patient?
Would love to hear how things work in real pharmacies and what challenges you face with long-term patients.

How do pharmacy owners keep long-term patients consistent with treatment?

Quick question for pharmacy owners and pharmacists.

When a patient buys medicines for conditions like diabetes, BP, thyroid, etc., do you have any system to:

  • Remind them when it's time for a refill?
  • Remind them to actually take their medicines on time?

Or do you usually leave that to the patient?

Just curious how pharmacies handle this in real life.

I've spoken to a few pharmacy owners and everyone seems to do things differently, so I wanted to hear from more people here.

I think the product is good. Now I need people who know marketing.

yo everyone,

just wanted to put this out here.

I've been working on a startup called DoseMint for quite some time now. We're trying to help pharmacies improve medicine adherence through reminders and follow ups so patients don't miss their medications.

Right now I'm honestly looking for people who are interested in marketing, growth, outreach, content, or anything related to getting a product in front of people and getting the product out in the market.

If you've ever wanted to be part of a startup, learn something new, build your portfolio, or just help out, feel free to reach out. Doesn't matter if you're experienced or just curious. :))

And if you're not interested but know someone who might be a good fit, we would really appreciate it if you could connect us.

Just trying to find a few good people and see where it goes. Thanks :))

The comeback is actually insane.

A few months ago I posted here saying DoseMint was dead.

Today?

WE ARE SO BACK 😭

And this comeback genuinely feels unreal.

A few months ago I was walking into pharmacies thinking:

“Bro this startup is finished.”

Most people didn’t care.

Most calls went nowhere.

Most pharmacy owners were already locked into old systems.

And honestly?

That phase destroyed my confidence for a while.

I almost quit completely.

But somewhere in between all the failure, confusion, overthinking, and random late-night discussions…

I realized something:

The problem was NEVER fake.

My approach was.

So I stopped trying to build a “startup.”

Stopped chasing fancy features.

Stopped trying to sound like some LinkedIn founder.

And just focused on building something pharmacies would actually enjoy using.

So I rebuilt DoseMint from scratch.

More practicality.

And now pharmacies testing it are actually giving REAL feedback instead of fake “yeah bro looks nice” validation 😭

That feeling is honestly crazy.

Also trying some fun stuff this time:

- free trials

- referral gifts

- actually listening before building

(insane concept, I know)

Still learning.

Still making mistakes.

Still balancing MBBS with all this somehow.

But damn.

It feels GOOD to be building again.

Would genuinely love marketing ideas from you guys though.

If YOU had to grow something like this from scratch in India, what would you do?

Because right now I’m basically learning startup-building through pure chaos 💀
