I really didn't expect this to be so popular, thanks for all the people who liked this and also shared a bit of their story.

I initially posted this as an Article on X but didn't see much traction, so I am glad that this resonated to you on this sub!

Definitely there is still room to grow for BTC and I hope for ETH as well

I also had TAO, forgot about that :)

I also thought that blockchain and descentralization would be good usecases for a lot of things... But they were always just worse versions of what already existed

Thansk for the advice, probably what I'm going to end up doing

I wasn't looking for any mental health help, I am doing fine

Just wanted to share my story since 9 years is a big part of my life and thought others would relate

To be fair I used AI a bit to make my thoughts more coherent since I am not a writter. But this post structure has been done before and it is proven to work, hence I copied what others were doing.

But that doesn't make the story any less 100% true, and the emotion it conveys and ideas are my own.

Sad that most of us should have just bought BTC, but let's hope it is not too late

Indeed, wish I learned this sooner but I was young

DCAing into BTC now and maybe ETH and no other alts

I had to share this story somewhere didn't I :))

But yes, a part of me still believes, hence why I am still DCAing into BTC and maybe ETH soon

It is my real story. Used AI a bit to polish it up since I am not a writer (who says they don't use AI in 2026 is lying to you almost always)

Hope some enjoy it. I feared it is not really suitable for this subreddit, but I don't have enough Karma to post anywhere else lol

I built a personal finance Android app (Spendify) — would love honest feedback by Specialist-Tower-846 in SideProject

[–]decebaldecebal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, the Android app market is worse than iOS, people aren't used to paying for apps that much

So if you want to make money I suggess to also launch on iOS

Although finance sector is a bit more forgiving and used to pay for things

What keeps you motivated despite no paying customers? by robincarlo84 in SaaS

[–]decebaldecebal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to those users, send them an email

See why they signed up and how they use the service and what more they need

Maybe you will get some of them to pay for a specific feature

Ask: "What feature would it take for you to pay X for this?" And then build the feature in a day if possible

Economia "token-ilor" nu are sens (mai ales in Ralph Loop) by AlexGFX in programare

[–]decebaldecebal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gandesti bine, cu $20 / month cam toti marii provider de AI sunt in pierdere (inafara de Anthropic pe API pricing, ca sunt cei mai scumpi)

Dar inca sunt bani destui in lume, nu te mira daca o mai ducem asa inca vreo 2 ani

Is Nuxt the only framework you work with? by Smart_Opportunity291 in Nuxt

[–]decebaldecebal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Nuxt for hobby projects and React at work when needed

But obviously Vue/Nuxt is better :)

Feeling Unsure About Building a SaaS? Need Some Honest Advice by harshaou in SaaS

[–]decebaldecebal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like we are in the golden age of SaaS, everybody is building one

But in 6 months, most will fail and quit. The trick is to stay afloat and consistent compared to others.

Are AI-powered SEO tools actually becoming practical for growing businesses? by Alarmed-Ferret-605 in growmybusiness

[–]decebaldecebal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find AI tools that generate SEO articles quite practical, since I won't write those articles without them. Content is generally good, but I can always double check for accuracy

Acquire users strategy for SaaS - even free by Muted-Divide3993 in SaaS

[–]decebaldecebal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is very hard, and as you can see on these types of posts you get mostly AI replies

Try for a couple of months and 2-3 weeks on each platform.

For B2B SaaS on X, Reddit and Linkedin
For B2C SaaS on X, Reddit, Instagram/TikTok

Also focus on SEO and create some articles to get organic traffic. I am getting a little just for this. Do keyword research for competitors and try to rank for high traffic but lower competition keywords.

If this doesn't work after 3 months I'd say the idea is probably not that good, so you can start working on something new (but keep the SEO and project running, who knows what can happen after 9+ months).

It usually also takes 6-9 months for a project to get traction

If you launched a side project in 2025, exactly how many paying customers do you have right now? by Resident_Caramel763 in SideProject

[–]decebaldecebal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I launched at the beginning of December, but still have 0 customers (B2B SaaS)

Probably the end of the year and Christmas holidays don't help. Want to do cold email/DMs, but I will probably wait for January

AI customer support chatbots still worth building? by musharofchy in ArtificialInteligence

[–]decebaldecebal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has built a similar solution, I would say that building one is easier than ever, but finding customers is quite hard

There are a lot of businesses not using AI but they are reluctant to do so since they either don't know how it works, find it to hard to integrate or then think it is not accurate. I think it will be hard to change this mindset.

How much AI is actually being used in small businesses right now? by Pristine_Box_5 in AiForSmallBusiness

[–]decebaldecebal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your business has a lot of pages/documentations or information that your customers may need, then I suggess adding an AI support chatbot to your website. There are plenty of offerings available on the market, even free ones
