What are we doing? #PucaTrade Week 2 of 52:

Let’s call this last week a “PucaTrade Brainstorming Session.” Ok, fine. I was on holiday vacation. BUT— I did think about PucaTrade a lot. A new year always serves as a call for reflection on progress made, and an opportunity for consideration of future goals. My goal is to make PucaTrade the ultimate trading website. We’ve just about exhausted the progress we can make with a couple guys coding in their respective basements. Slow (if steady) progress would be a disservice to the 1,300 people who are now trading Magic the Gathering cards on PucaTrade and want it to be the best it can be. My feeling is that it’s time for radical improvement, and radical growth. This requires a dedicated labor force working roughly 40 hours each week (read: this requires money). Fortunately, I live in Silicon Valley, and there’s a thriving culture of net-based entrepreneurship here, along with a ton of financial support for people trying to breathe life into great ideas. So I begin walking down the road towards investment, always with images of the penultimate version of PucaTrade behind my mind’s eye; two roads overlapping in pursuit of more trades and a better trading experience for you, every time you visit the site. If that sounds overly dramatic, it’s not. This is my dream—dreams get to be dramatic. I hope you enjoy the site.
