COVID could be crypto's moment: It showed our gov'ts are incompetent so we need charter cities, our media is cynical so we need prediction markets, & our gov’t will print their way through everything so we need bitcoin. Trust in institutions is low, & crypto is all about trust.
Cryptocurrencies are digitally-native monies that outcompete pre-internet monies on several dimensions. What are the digital equivalents for status signaling that outcompete other signaling purchases, and could even obsolete them one day? Digital versions of rims, sneakers, etc
Coinbase founders meeting on Reddit is like Wordpress/Gitlab succeeding as a distributed company: it proves it can be done, and makes it easier to sell because you can point to a winner.
What are the best crypto funds under $50M? Or the best angels more broadly in the space? We're looking for great folks to include as co-investors.
In the same way that crypto-networks aim to wrest power away from centralized corporations—to change “don’t be evil” to “can’t be evil”— The pseudonymous economy aims to wrest power from decentralized mobs—to change “don’t cancel others you disagree with”to “can’t cancel others”
I don't know many people who believe in something more than my bitcoin friends believe in BTC. There are memes and then there are religions.
Bitcoin is a constant marshmallow test, except the marshmallow alternates between expanding and shrinking wildly.
I wonder if longevity could rally a similarly powerful community as the bitcoin community. Longevity has raw ingredients (ideology, transcendence), the only thing missing is everyone getting rich on the way up. Maybe they'll live longer, tho that gratification is more delayed.
Gold is not a valuable money because it has value as, say, Jewelry. It has value as Jewelry b/c it’s a valuable money. This misunderstanding causes people to overrate gold as it relates to BTC There’s a similar misunderstanding that leads people to overrate art relative to NFTs
“Investors get into trouble when they only make bets that make them look sophisticated—at the expense of something that looks too obvious or available.” - an unnamed investor who’s largest holding was bitcoin, a couple years ago.
if you're investing in Bitcoin at these prices, more power to ya
It's really neat how the crypto world is basically this non stop Bretton Woods. Except with more skin in the game and tighter feedback loops. EIP-1559 is a fascinating example of that.
