"Most successful founders tend to work on ideas that few besides them realize are good. Which is not that far from a description of insanity, till you reach the point where you see results. Paul Graham"
It's funny how true this is. It explains exactly who I am. Mostly I'm insane. If you went through my startup closest you would find quite a few of these types of ideas of mine. To me the vision is never completely clear, yet it's always more clear to me than anyone else.

The art of taking your idea and getting others to believe in it enough to join you in your insanity quest is like painting the picture for each person individually and the painting never comes out as an exact duplicate. It's leaving my brain at eleven million milliseconds and entering into the others at a much slower rate. They are processing the idea all the while I'm still adding more paint. Sometimes when I tell someone about Passdown, it strikes me and other pieces to the paintings puzzle is revealed. The person I told doesn't know that. Only I do. Shhh
This is where you get the revelers who express joy in your idea, and the scoffers who just cannot grasp the vision. It's a hard place for us treps to be. At least for me it is. In my last post I had asked the startup Gods to send me developers and for the Broncos to win. In seconds the Bronco's won! But I didn't put much hope into finding developers as they are in high demand. They do not need to work for free, on someones insanity vision. Okay there are no startup Gods, but it's a nice thing to believe in. Exactly twenty four hours later I received my second request answered. Woah! maybe they're really are startup Gods?
A very kind developer stated "This is a good idea" and I want to know more about it. He also offered his extensive developing background. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You see I take delight in the person who see's something in the idea of Passdown. The people who do this, fit into the quote above. They see, and realize something is good. And they want to be apart of it.

Honestly I've seen the vision of Passdown about one hundred years into the future. I've seen humanity using it, talking about it, sharing it, in the future. I've pictured many of the problems Passdown will have to overcome. I've invented code algorithms in my head even though I do not code. I've seen what it will do for humanity in it's most precious form. I've overlooked from the balcony at the ones who will get greedy. Yeah, I'm still in the magical aura of Passdown. Yeah, it's still just an idea. But it growing. It's taking roads where schoffers do not walk. It's riding right up the path to the user soul. And the users will say if it's a go. No one else has any say in it, not even my team.
Yep, it's the road of uncertainty, lined with users. For now they tell us to build, so we will do that.
