Crypto Tech News Platform

Create a Hacker News-style platform specifically for crypto that filters out price discussions and focuses on technology, development, and industry news.

Key Points:

• Core Concept:

  • Similar to Hacker News but exclusively for crypto
  • Explicitly excludes price-related discussions and trading talk
  • Focus on technological developments and industry news

• Market Gap:

  • Currently no dominant platform for non-price crypto discussions
  • Most crypto platforms are overwhelmed by price movement discussions
  • Need for "firewall" against price discussions to maintain quality

• Business Model:

  • Similar to Hacker News which can generate ~$8M/year in revenue
  • Can operate with minimal employees
  • Potential value of $50-100M if executed well

• Existing Competition:

  • CaseBitcoin.com - dashboard of stats
  • CryptoPanic.com - news aggregator
  • None have successfully become the go-to platform for the crypto community

• Key Success Factor:

  • Needs a central figurehead (like Paul Graham for Hacker News)
  • Suggestion that "Pump" could be the right person to create this
