I guess you want people to blow smoke up your butt.
Talking about ridiculous reasons why it's going to be "successful" is encouraging but it's misleading: it's not very likely that your venture will be successful in these way. Hobbe's "encouragement" completely ignored the stuff you talked about.
You talked about people being "hung up" on being profitable. I'm like the only person who realized that that wasn't an issue for you and you aren't happy with that either.
Since "failure" is not an issue for you, you can't really fail (the point you keep missing). Being clear about that is more real encouragement then talking about unrealistic results.
