Nice presentation, after watching the video I realise that house does not build in a day, it takes a long process to achieve a great results, for you to make life easier patience is very important and that what bring out steem community, you need to work hard for everything you lay your hand on and believe in the power of humanity. With the way things are going in seven77 challenge by @nathanmars make me more to have the believes and the concept that say we all need ourselves. This presentation let us to understand that you need to move along with people around and have believe in there capability. Let keep the movement on, we are here to make a great impact in promoting steem in the eye of humanity for better results in the coming days.. steem on✈️✈️✈️✈️💪✈️ with the power of @nathanmars
That was indeed insightful. I think I also watched this video a few years back. What I like Chamath is that he always think of the consumer/user. I think it's a great idea to build trust first before even thinking of monetizing a product. Focusing on the long term instead of becoming impatient and bite the short term benefits which usually leads to something 'bad'. Personally, I think Steem still has the potential. I mean we've seen it before and I'm optimistic that we'll see it in a much stronger and consistent form in the future.
I have seen this video before, but it's worth watching again. The concept of not alienating your perspective base is a valid one. Also, the focus on long term goals, in today's society there is too much emphasis on instant gratification. You can't build a great product overnight - or even in 77 nights! You are very wise @nathanmars in taking your time and not rushing your development. Move too soon with an underdeveloped idea and you risk losing out on the great potential you could have built. His example about LinkedIn was right on point - we need patience and hard work. Getting the best people for the right job. Concentrate on building the brand - Steem should be on the tip of everyone's tongue at every opportunity.
I've gotta be honest, I watched the whole video, and I think I watched it before actually, but what hit me the most watching this... is how little it has to do with my goals and creative endeavours in life. I can take one thing away from it, which is an overriding truth about most things in life; if you want to succeed you have to work hard and never give up.
But I'm a writer.
I'm not an entrepreneur, and more importantly, I don't want to be one. It neither aligns with my skills, or my world view.
I will serve both my ambition and talent better at this point, to put 8+ hours/day into formulating, planning and writing a novel.
I've been struggling for a while with this insane social conditioning that pervades steem where we should all be trying to make projects etc. It's a damaging thing for a creative writer to be pushed away from creating toward project work that stifles creative expression, or at the very least pushes that creative expression away from what I think is important; creating new and entertaining characters and worlds of imagination.
Some people may be able to do both, good for them.
For me, I've found myself writing less and less high quality stories and poems. This is a direct effect of the culture on steem and I've had enough of it!
I will continue to promote on twitter with Seven77 to make it to 77 days, as this is not something that particularly takes much time or energy. Also I believe in what you're doing and want to help where I can. But after that I don't know what my future on steem will be if I'm honest. If this isn't a place that rewards high quality content highly, then it's not a place I want to be. It's not just me this effects, I read a serielised story today by someone who's been here a long time, and they're getting pennies for fiction which is amazing!
I've been at this 2 years on steem, and the reality is that I have worked myself sicker than I was before, and into more than £2000 of debt, and I'm earning considerably less on posts now than I did 14 months ago.
I've kept all this bottled up for far too long. It's not aimed at you Nathan, or at anyone promoting steem for Seven77, but sometimes people need a reality check (I'm talking about myself here). I've realised that I need to seriously consider what I'm doing here and the time I'm spending.
I wanna say thank you, as it was only watching this video that this realisation hit me so powerfully.
I think it's interesting how he said if you can't answer basic questions about you lose yourself. We often think of doing basic, repetitive, and foundational tasks as unoriginal or drawing us away from our creative selves. But in a way, that can be the mind's way of wiggling out of the work we don't want to do under the guise of "creative freedom". If you don't have a solid foundation, you don't have anything.
His voice is quite similar to the YouTuber Jay Shetty. :P Well, he is so on point and I second that. Good product with a great mind always touches the high level. I skipped Facebook when I feel regret that why am I wasting my precious time on useless.
Listen to the consumer and give them high values is just like Steemit should do the same to make it high and prove that STEEM is a father of all blockchain blogging platforms. Here we have a chance to feed our tummies while FB is a place of wasting time.
This (Steemit) is a life-changing platform for all of us and it will break all-time high FB shit and proves that good product always rocks. It is only a matter of time. Steemit will show the power of its loyal community.
More power to you @nathanmars
It's been like every Steemian Started from Reputation 25 and today is on some good level. Everything is possible with Patience and Hard Work. Nothing comes in seconds or in a day would have to choose Right if you want to go somewhere. Shortcuts never work everyday or every Time.
These discussion had many ideas. But mainly focus long term plan. Short term plans not get more rewarded. If we want to seek only long term vision. Steemians can bring more value to our blockchain via share our blockchain things to other centralized social medias. We don't need to get upset with other medias. We have big ability to bring core values through seven77 movement. @nathanmars, you became huge impact to our blockchain.
Posted using Partiko Android
That was definitely worth 40 minutes to watch, thanks for sharing it @nathanmars.
The first thing I really took to heart was core value of the product and not hype, and that is really something which Steem is building massively right now, and I think that will pay off a lot quite fast and much more so in the long term.
The second thing I thought was very important was that anyone should be able to use it, and here I think Steem has some way to go, both in terms of the whole signup process and how to use the network itself, it's easy enough for the people that really want to learn, but way too hard for the average person on Facebook and Twitter.
And the third thing was learning from mistakes and having an environment where it's a good thing to experiment and celebrating failure because that's how we learn, and I think this is something we have a lot of, want to make a dapp, just go right ahead, and if it doesn't work the first time adjust it until it does, that's great.
And the fourth thing is engagement of the users and I think that seven77 and PushBook Network really does a great job here, it makes new and experienced Steemians come together and communicate and use Steem, I for example made my first online video with seven77, that led me to do videos on Dtube, it makes people active on the Steem blockchain and enthusiastic about it and that is more important than anything else.
I'm glad I came across this blog, a big thank you to @josediccus... Having watched and understood the video, here are my main take away points.
At the earlier part of video, Chamath said;
"Smart enough to be greedy, but not smart enough to be useful"
That statement prompted me to do a little research and I got to a conclusion that being greedy in the right way is actually a good thing, because it motivates and drive you to ensure you achieve what you want. but not making and effective use of what you have achieved simply depicts one "not being smart enough to be useful".
I also got an affirmation from what he has said that it doesn't depend on the number of individuals who are willing to work. It all depends on the motive of those that are working. He said;
"it took just 7 individuals to move Facebook users to 100 million users back then"
Another pick was from where he stated two extreme difficult choices, which are;
- Doing what you think its right independent of what the external feedback loop is.
- Doing what you read about and what you get credit for and what people will tell you is interesting.
So I picked that going with the First choice certainly pays, because the second choice "destroys ones ability to build something interesting".
Another pick is expressing your aim in the most simplest form, because "simplicity can be extremely useful"
Another pick is Always be the tough guy. Try ti solve an existing problem, "Don't ramble about already solved problems"
Another pick is to Eliminate Ego, and be comfortable with not being rewarded in the short term for our works.
Chamath also said
"You can't be extremely clinical and extremely unemotionally detached from the things you are building, if not you will make the massive mistake and things won't grow because you don't understand what happened"
For me that's a pick that too much emotions should be attached to ones aim, if not there will be a confusion in the mind at some point about the set aim.
Another pick is to be straight-forward with your aims, be strategic, be flexible no matter what the feedback lops is.
Another pick is one should be able to take the courage to stand and continue with your aims.
Another pick is being able to think fast within the most tiniest seconds.
Here's the best part, and I'm gonna quote him because it contains all the points. He said;
"Detach egos, focus on what is important, not leaving the hype, not trying to follow some lifestyle but dong what you think is important and focusing on core values, ruthlessly prioritizing and getting people who believes in these things.
These things in consideration are simple THE STEEM BLOCKCHAIN AND ITS ECOSYSTEM.
Another pick is sharing ideas.
Do not buckle on short-term pressure.
Respect the person but constantly challenge his/her ideas.
And finally "Never get distracted with things that shouldn't be done.
Those are my pick from the video. Also while I was watching I could depict some things. Most things said by Chamath were actually characters possesed by you Sir Nathan. And all I could picture was NathanMars explaining how we moved Steem to $77 at SteemFest 7
I just can't wait for SteemFest 7
Thanks for sharing such an amazing video Nathan
Hi @nathanmars I have watched the the complete video and finds few points very much. He is focusing more on the long term investment and that perfectly correct because in short term it's very difficult to get success. Everything needs time to grow and with the same we need to follow the same. Apart form this ego is a problem and should not be in the place. Avoid ego and need to focus on what customer is looking for. We must see the customer requirements then only we can build a product which will be adopted by the Market. Rather than thinking that what we like, we should see what others like and that idea can make the product popular.
We need to understand the core product value and this understanding will take us to next level of success.
Thanks for sharing this very nice video. This quite useful for Steemians.

A video worth watching.. Thanks for sharing. Here are my takeaway from the video.
Lets have patience and make #STEEM 7.77$
It necessary to focus on long term results instead of short term quick gain. Patient and hard work pays off. System is the key of success. This time we have to stack our steem so we can achieve 7.77 target this year. Long term vision is necessary in order to maximize our gain
We are steem

I spent 40 minutes watching this video and it was worth watching. I would like to brief on my take away from this video.
The most important point is
There is no shame to follow tge great leader. Definatly should be check out. 👍
Posted using Partiko Android
I get one point
Thanks for your effort! I like your video and made a subscription.
Tye truth about Chamath is that he's probably the most outspoken entrepreneur/angel investor I've ever known, I like the way he indulged people with his Life lessons highlighting his mistakes as well as his sucesses and where he definitely needed to change in his career. I took 17 minutes listening to him and oh my goodness I realised he's even more experienced I see this from when he spoke about eBay. The fact that he spoke about how people think they're doing an amazing job and yet at the end they're wondering where they get it wrong is something I think people in the 777 should always take note of.
Sometimes we need to stop and ask ourselves, I'm I getting it wrong? How can I improve, even if it seems it's going okay, what other measure will we put in place to better improve everyday instead of doing stupid things, wasting time when we should have high level goal
In the end I learnt that core value is imperative, focusing on the right people we need to recruit a to help build our projects, our dreams which of course Will come at the cost of so many mistakes however not dwelling on the mistakes but finding New ways to go forward. This is my stance after watching for 20 minutes.
In the end the people who are holding one position or the other on Steem needs to watch and learn from this kind of core values because relentless chasing of it Will raise Steem even more than Facebook and Steem in it's eventuality.
PushBook Startup will try to raise Seed Funding from Chamath Palihapitiya some point this year
Please elaborate more on your above stances, have we finally made a breakthrough with Chamath?
Chamath studied something related to commerce, worked for a long time in a bank. He is greedy enough to undertake on his own, leaving the bank and devoting himself to jobs on the internet.
Which worked constantly until today to build something great.
Pause in the 6:18 minute, I get the idea about the extremist consumer, products that are too much, stuffed, unnecessary, when there are priorities like the food that is much needed, instead of investing in essential and vital things, the trade focuses on making money with aesthetic materialism to feed the ego.
It is my interpretation
Another pause at minute 11:39
To eliminate the ego, to stop thinking about short-term pleasures, to live a lifestyle based on egocentrism, is practically to live under that façade that society and the system domesticates you.
The ego would sum up the father of all sins and society the mother of all vices.
Another pause at minute 12:49 To build a company cleaning the ego, I imagine a working environment, everyone who is part of the team without the poisonous envy that we currently see in companies, everyone thinking of a win-win, that the basis is ethics and an honest vision free of selfishness.
Nowadays there are many companies that are an example of the massive mistakes they make when building on the basis of ego.
Another interesting point: don't confuse luck and skill
Another interesting point: you can be arrogant, rather I think you can be proud of your company without believing yourself more than anyone else, although personally I am not offended when someone emphasizes its success in a presumptuous way, sincerely looks funny because deep down we know that we are human with gifts and weaknesses, that you highlight your strengths does not hide the defects, unless you are from those people who brag, that rather exposes the weaknesses.
Another interesting point, listen only your instinct and not to customers serious mistake,
Not focusing on things that destroy
An interesting point at minute 20, the profile that companies normally choose on their academic basis in prestigious institutes and universities, and in Japan they do it by blood type,
Completely different cultures that, although they seem to make no sense, allow things to be done from another perspective.
Another interesting point, when you think something works, it probably won't work for everyone. Find a framework that allows you to restructure and reorganize the things you're doing to expose different people in different situations in different ways.
In short, dare to constantly rebuild yourself, change perspective in such a way that you make a short term feedback loop.
"Not following a lifestyle, but doing what you think."
Pause in the 26th minute, interpreting the theme, success has been achieved through a complex and dedicated organization, and not those companies that only think in the short term that in the end only turn out to be spam.
"Prioritize, focus on the central value, ruthlessly prioritizing and getting the right people to create and support in order to form a productive team.
"Time and a very high IQ explains itself A strong sense of purpose not to give in to short-term ambition."
"a relentless focus on success so competitive that you'll do whatever it takes to win aggressive and competitive."
"people who always respect people, constantly challenge the idea of a high quality bar that limits perfectionism"
The last point is to see the real value of things, to separate superficiality and to discover what is essential for the soul.
Research Chamath Palihapitiya the first thing that came out of me is: "Social networks are tearing society apart," says former Facebook executive
It is incredible how this information appears to me almost effortlessly through the universe and energies.
I was somewhat stressed that better way to clear my mind by steemit, is a clear example that social networks are evolving and instead of tearing us into a 2.0 future.
Chamath estudio algo relacionado en comercio, trabajo durante un largo tiempo en un banco. él es codicioso, lo suficiente como para emprender por su cuenta, dejando el banco y dedicándose a trabajos por internet.
La cual trabajo constantemente que hasta el día de hoy construyo algo grandioso.
Pause en el minuto 6:18, capto la idea sobre el consumidor extremista, productos que son de sobra, relleno, innecesarios, cuando hay prioridades como la comida que hace mucha falta, en vez invertir en cosas imprescindibles y vitales, el comercio se centra en ganar dinero con materialismo estético para alimentar el ego.
Es mi interpretación
Otra pausa en el minuto 11:39
Eliminar el ego, dejar de pensar en placeres a corto plazo, vivir un estilo de vida basado en el egocentrismo, prácticamente es vivir bajo esa fachada que la sociedad y el sistema te doméstica.
Resumiría el ego el padre de todos los pecados y la sociedad la madre de todos los vicios.
Otra pausa en el minuto 12:49 Construir una empresa limpiando el ego, me imagino un ambiente laboral, todo quien sea parte del equipo sin la envida venenosa que actualmente vemos en las empresas, todos pensando en un ganar-ganar, que la base sea la ética y una visión honesta libre de egoísmo.
Actualmente hay muchas empresas que son ejemplo de los errores masivos que cometen al construir en base al ego.
Otro punto interesante: no confundir suerte y habilidad
Otro punto interesante: puedes ser arrogante, más bien creo que puedes estar orgulloso de tu empresa sin creerte más que nadie, aunque en lo personal no me ofende cuando alguien recalca su éxito de un modo presuntuoso, sinceramente se ve gracioso porque en el fondo sabemos que somos humanos con dones y debilidades, que resaltes tus fortalezas no esconde los defectos, al menos que seas de aquellas personas que fanfarronea, eso más bien deja en evidencia las debilidades.
Otro punto interesante, escuchar solo tu instinto y no a los clientes grave error,
No enfocarse en cosas que destruyen
Un punto interesante en el minuto 20, el perfil que normalmente escogen las empresas sobre su base académica en institutos y universidades prestigiosas, y en japón lo hacen por el tipo de sangre,
Culturas completamente diferentes que, aunque parezca que no tienen sentido, permiten hacer las cosas desde otra perspectiva
Otro punto interesante, cuando creas que algo funciona, probablemente no funcione para todos. Encontrar un marco que te permita reestructurar y reorganizar las cosas que estás haciendo para exponer de diferentes maneras a diferentes personas en diferentes situaciones.
En pocas palabras atreverte a reconstruirte constantemente, cambiar de perspectiva de tal modo que hagas un bucle de retroalimentación a corto plazo.
"No seguir un estilo de vida, pero haciendo lo que piensas"
Pause en el minuto 26, interpretando el tema, el éxito se ha logrado mediante una compleja y dedicada organización, y no esas empresas que solo piensan a corto plazo que al final solo resultan ser spam.
"Priorizar, enfocarte en el valor central, despiadadamente priorizando y obteniendo las personas indicadas que crean y apoyen con el fin de formar un equipo productivo"
"El tiempo y un IQ muy alto se explica por sí mismo Un fuerte sentido de propósito para no doblegarse por la ambición a corto plazo"
"un enfoque implacable en el éxito tan competitivo que harás lo que sea para ganar agresivo y competitivo"
"personas que siempre respetan a las personas, constantemente desafiar la idea de una alta barra de calidad que limita con el perfeccionismo"
El último punto es ver el valor real de las cosas, separar la superficialidad y descubrir lo esencial para el alma, recalca que para esto se necesita mucho coraje.
Investigue a Chamath Palihapitiya lo primero que me salió es: “Las redes sociales están desgarrando a la sociedad”, dice un exejecutivo de Facebook
Es increíble como esta información me aparece ante mi casi que, sin esfuerzo alguno, por medio del universo y las energías.
Estaba algo estresado que mejor manera de despejar mi mente mediante steemit, es un ejemplo claro que las redes sociales están evolucionando y en vez de desgarrar nos engranan a un futuro 2.0
Greetings @nathanmars I love your activities by putting the community to work!
Hello @nathanmars Thanks for the invitation, The video has good translation into Spanish from Venezuela. It is understood very well. Definitely just having an investor's mind I have allowed myself to grow a bit in steemit. Several times I have been about to withdraw funds from the account. But I say ... I can stand this, wait a bit and then another way out comes to the problem and so I'm going to my 100 sp that I want to have before I turn the year into steem. Thanks to the desire of many people like you who want to help through contests, initiatives etc, I know that in the long term I can have a good base that I can show to others and recommend as an investment model. Thank you for the opportunity.
The general idea is that with any project we must be entrepreneurs building good things that come to the customer's preference. We must be complacent and elegant and have good communication to develop well and positively our product reaching the client demonstrating good strategies, being constant, original, perfectionists, disciplined, focused. Mastering the essential elements and a good strategy for our product or project will give us that good result that we hope for our great dedication and dedication. A great greeting dear friend @nathanmars7. Thank you very much for showing us this motivating video that gives us much more strength and knowledge to continue stronger and confident in our projects. 💜💗💪💪💕💖💝💞
Alot of things to take away.
My best, looking at the long term bigger picture. Especially for steem, we have to stop looking at what we can get now in the short term but focus on the future. Steem is here to stay and we have a long way to go but only we can build it. If we don't leave ego aside and work for a better steem, we are doing bad to ourselves.
BIGGER PICTURE
I had seen him speak before. Im always interested in simplicity and core value of product. When you combine that with human behavior its easy to get to that aha moment. In my opinion we have something very simple here and that should be enough to get us to scale. That's why I like the simple aspects of our ecosystem and investment in the community. That should bring scale. At least I hope.
What I took away from the video was not focusing on the things that destroys long term value, that I took with me because it is easier to get distracted from our goal either through comparing our progress with others or other factors.
I have to be comfortable with not getting rewarded in the short term as well as cultures always win over capability.
Those are the points I took with me.

When ego is involved, businesses collapse, organizations fall. These are issues to avoid. The STEEM community is not under pressure. Let's stay focused cos we're moving at a very good pace and with time, we'll achieve what we want. Thanks @nathanmars for sharing. #think #long #term
Thank you @nathanmars for yet another opportunity for earning.
What I understood from that video is basically not making it viral but making it useful and for a longer term.

To became like facebook, we need to be more friendly to other social media. Centralized platforms are not our enemy. We can use them all to promote steem even more. We shouldn't say that we are the best and others are not, we can be everywhere and promote steem there. We have so many social media to use. If we just use them all, it will give a big impact and steem will be in the head of every human in the planet. Just like Facebook, or even better, because steem is paying, facebook not. You see how many times I said the word ''Facebook'' ?
In any article we write, we should mention steem somewhere, any video we make, we should mention steem there, we are already doing that, but we should push harder now.
No matter what change we will have in steem and we like or dislike about it, the main idea is to pay for content and it's not important, how much we are earning or we will earn in the future, the concept is great. That's the most important.
I hope @andrarchy will take a look at this and more people from the team. We can just change a bit our thinking a bit and the future is ours.
@nathanmars thanks for sharing ! :) 💙 ♬ to B Connected relationship need lots of time invest in long period

Getting people to the AHA ! moment is the key .... most of us who are still here actively posting is purely because we saw the AHAAA ! moment in STEEM and we are just in love with the community and would love to see this blockchain grow. Thanks for the share @nathanmars.
ego.
it’ll ruin you. and i know first hand what happens when that little voice inside your head screams ‘me me me me me’
the take away for me (when putting steem into the talk) is that we need to stay the course. leave the ego out of the picture and continue to build this community.
nothing overnight. nothing immediate. slow and steady.
great video man. thanks for sharing it.

The points I took away was when trying to build a good product:)
I think these factors attract growth when building a product. Thanks for sharing such impactful video brother!
It has my points, not to get rewarded in a short term. If the product is best with lot of great minds then it will take to another level.
Get 7 users in 7 days was a key goal. This is one of the points I found very interesting. Thank you @nathanmars for sharing and building our community!! :)
A lot of really good stuff. Thank you for sharing!
Besides the basic leave your ego at the door and long term thinking, I loved the illustration from how culture is different. Not all Spanish speaking people are alike. On a steem related topic. Forcing the SMS/Text verification for Steemit is a hassle for some Surinamese people, because the text doesn't come true. They would be greatful for an email verification (without the text verification).
It also got me thinking about the core product value of Steem, Steemit and Seven77. How clearly are they defined for the outside world, with zero knowledge about blockchain technology.
I always love to have information right to the point and in that case, I stopped after 5 or 6 minutes. The video starts to play around 8 minutes and the essence of the message I heard.
Focus on the 3 more important points from a customer perspective!
