    1. @Silverback_VIIApr 2023· in “Ask HN: How to Protect Ideas and Implementation?”

      This lecture by Kawasaki addresses the topic: this video If a large corporation steals your idea, you can try to sue if you have taken measures to protect your idea, and in rare cases, even succeed. However, it won't really get you any further.

    2. @vinchucoNov 2013· in “Bitcoin Target Price: $23,809.52”

      It reminded me of one of the mistakes Guy Kawasaki said here this video about linear thinking in valuations. Not that I disagree with the post. I could only verify those figures in the future.
