Unfortunately we are seeing a lot of hype and dubious projects, we're in an asset bubble with intense FOMO. I try to ignore that and think about the promise of crypto. As compared to equities. Remember, equities took decades before the

I'm on the pro-crypto side, but the US dollar has more than consumer confidence, it has the largest armed forces the world has ever seen. So a better comparison is something like gold, I think, that has value because we say it has valu

The net value to society is likely negative since the impact on the target is large, and a society that allowed such things may see time horizons constrict. You raise some good points, though. I personally am probably coming with an unspoke

I’m glad you went direct. As a small retail investor it allows me to have access, and buying from employees and giving them some liquidity feels good like what a market should do. They also use restricted supply to keep the price high. Ever

Wondering what a modern, digital version would be? Imagine a repo could work for the time-stamping and not deleting mistakes (immutable record). Images, annotations (i.e. 'Circle rogue points') seem much harder.

Good question. The metaphor though would be something like: ... and your soul cost you $1 M to obtain in the first place. There's something special about seeing the future and investing on a team with a dream. It's not the cash fl
