Product-Speculation-Fit VS Product-Market-Fit
Top Tweets/Bite-Sized Insights of the week
MISTAKES OF WEB3 FOUNDERS

Let’s pop the BUBBLE…
Why many metrics are focused on speculation in Web3:
Let’s dive into the Web3 maze together, decoding Product-Market Fit (PMF) and Product-Speculation-Fit (PSF). It's not just about the numbers; it's about understanding what they truly mean! 📊
Speculation Fit: 🎲
Total Raised/Funded: It's flashy but is it sustainable? We're exploring the real impact beyond the dollar signs.
Expected Milestones: Are they just dreams or are we making tangible strides? Let's decipher.
Wallet Signups: Vanity or reality? Let's focus on converting those signups into active users.
Total Transactions: More isn't always better. It's about the frequency and value behind each transaction.
Airdrops: Great but what's the follow-through? Let's measure the real impact post-airdrop.
Market Fit: 🚀
Actual Profit/Rev Model: Funds raised are like a loan, profit is the “real” money! Let's move from speculation to real revenue streams. The heart of sustainability!
Achievements (Launch/Audits): Tangible milestones – because launches and audits are more than just checkboxes!
Daily/Monthly Active Users or Retention: It's not about the numbers but the users who stick around. Let's focus on real engagement.
Transaction Frequency/CLV: How often are users transacting? What's their long-term value? The real magic numbers!
User Activation Rate: How many convert into active, engaged users?
Remember, it's not about being lost in the metrics; it's about decoding them for actionable insights. Only if you truly understand your product, you can improve and find your product-market-fit! 💪
