This month marked the nails in a coffin for a business idea I was validating and researching and I’m publishing this post such that I can continue to learn in public.

Like many people who work on these projects I structured my approach and meticulously took notes in a document which I collaborated on with other people I respect the objective opinion of. 

This post is effectively a narrated version of the document. If you wanted to replicate the way I structure my thoughts I have attached the document at the end of the post. If you can find a fault with it, please let me know in the comments or on Twitter. More on that later.

What even is this? Well, for this one post only, I am taking a break from my normal writing to create a searchable, shareable guide to:

• Earning crypto while browsing the web
• Buying USDC stablecoins
• Earning 8% interest (paid daily) on USDC balances on Nexo
