In this conversation, Anthony Castrio, founder of the Indie Worldwide Community, interviews Elie Steinbock, founder of Sharemint.xyz, CryptoFighters, and FrontWork. Elie shares his journey from running a front-end development agency to working on Sharemint, a Web3 referral platform for startup partnerships. He discusses how he met his cofounder, Aamir, and built a strong working relationship with him.

Elie explains that launching a Web3 business is similar to launching other businesses but emphasizes the importance of finding users on platforms like Twitter, Telegram, and Discord. He believes that building a valuable business during a bear market is more sustainable than focusing on quick gains during a bull market.

Sharemint currently has a handful of clients and is making between $5,000 and $10,000 a month. Elie shares the challenges of managing finances in cryptocurrency and advises those looking to build a Web3 business to focus on providing value to users rather than launching unnecessary tokens.

Elie is optimistic about the potential of Web3 and NFTs as alternative authentication systems and voting rights within organizations. He plans to focus on growing Sharemint over the next few years and hopes to become more established in the crypto space.

In terms of the Indie Worldwide community, Elie appreciates the monthly calls and small group chats, but suggests hosting these calls more frequently to deepen connections within the community. His parting wisdom for aspiring indie hackers is that there is no right way to do things and that it's important to be open-minded and adaptable.
