My favorite movie is Iain Softley’s “Hackers”, but this story is not about it. Instead, it is the story of a young man in great distress, who finds solace in a world very reminiscent of the one portrayed by the movie. It is the story of me, whether I like it or not.

Reflections on the Movie Hackers

This absolutely, unbelievable story began at the moment our team leader, from another one of my startups, got tired of managing a motley team of “remote workers” and decided to resign. He said that being a manager of remote workers was much more difficult than doing the same thing in a traditional office.

When the bubble finally popped last year, the “market cap” of all crypto fell over $700B, an 85% drop from its peak in January — steeper than the dotcom bubble’s 78% crash. The media gawked at this collapse, and as usual, proclaimed this was the <a href="https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/" target="_blank">nail in the coffin</a> for cryptocurrencies.

My company <a href="https://www.pared.com" target="_blank">Pared</a> was recently included in an essay from <a href="https://andrewchen.co/" target="_blank">Andrew Chen</a> and <a href="https://a16z.com/author/li-jin/" target="_blank">Li Jin</a> entitled <a href="https://a16z.com/2018/11/27/services-marketplaces-service-economy-evolution-whats-next/" target="_blank">What’s next for marketplace startups?</a> Recently I’ve been seeing some great pieces about network effects coming from the insightful minds over at a16z such as <a href="https://a16z.com/2018/12/13/16-metrics-network-effects/" target="_blank">16 Ways to Measure Network Effects</a> and <a href="https://a16z.com/2018/12/13/network-effects-dynamics-in-practice/" target="_blank">The Dynamics of Network Effects</a>. I always enjoy reading the analysis of smart people who are trying to synthesize and create themes about businesses like my own. <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesCurrier" target="_blank">James Currier</a> at NFX Guild does a fantastic job of this and I’ve always been a fan of his take <a href="https://www.nfx.com/post/10-years-about-market-networks" target="_blank">The Next 10 Years Will Be About “Market Networks</a>” because it hits so close to home. The challenge is synthesizing so many disparate business models into a single tidy blog post. Unfortunately, the downside of generalizing is that you miss out on the nuances and key differentiators to success of any one business or model. Andrew or James wouldn’t get many readers if they focused on very specific businesses or companies because it wouldn’t resonate with a broader audience.

Okay, to be clear, I won’t be talking about PokemonGo or even the Vatican’s Follow JC Go (yes <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45965025" target="_blank">this is a real app</a> through which users chase around Jesus and other Christian figures).
