Crypto shortens the time from entrepreneur to investor by 10x.

This is amazing for entrepreneurs and bad for traditional investors.

Quick thoughts on why this matters.

1/

@foundersfund

2/ In traditional tech, a founder builds a company for 10+ years then exits and makes money.

Then they start angel investing and many launch their own funds.

These founders create VC funds that entrepreneurs love having on the cap table

(ex: @foundersfund & @khoslaventures)

3/ But now we have 100s of VCs run by non-entrepreneurs.

These are the MBAs who create funds bc it’s the cool thing to do.

They only make safe bets and can’t empathize w/ the entrepreneur bc they haven’t done it themselves.

They don’t add much value outside their capital.

1/ CryptoPunks will eventually trade for $10 million each

Here’s why 🧵

2/ For nearly a decade, crypto was a tool for financial innovation.

NFTs created a tool for cultural innovation.

CryptoPunks symbolize this evolution from the financialization of crypto to the cultural revolution of crypto.

3/ The value of a collector’s item boils down to 4 traits.

- Community
- Story & passion
- Ability to show off
- Personal joy

Vinyl records, comic books, classic cars, trading cards, fine art… it’s all the same.

The stronger the sum of the traits, the more valuable the item.

@yanisvaroufakis

The simplest explanation of inflation I've ever read comes from a story about cigarettes and prisoners.

It's written by @yanisvaroufakis and it perfectly describes why inflation hurts savers.

Here's a story about a prisoner-of-war camp...

1/ Periodically, the Red Cross would place a few more cigarettes in the prisoners’ packages but keep the quantity of chocolate, tea, and coffee the same.

When extra cigarettes arrived, each cigarette now bought less coffee, less chocolate, and less tea.

Why?

2/ Since a larger number of cigs now corresponded to the same amount of coffee/tea, each individual cigarette corresponded to less coffee/less tea.

The opposite also held true:

The fewer cigs the Red Cross placed, the greater the exchange value (purchasing power) of each cig.

Back in New York after an incredible week at Bitcoin 2021.

Some thoughts on the conference, the industry, the money, and Bitcoin.

👇

@BitcoinMagazine

1/ First, the conference was incredible.

If you followed it on Twitter, you saw a Dogecoiner bombard the stage and other shenanigans.

You missed the amazing panels and thousands of side conversations.

Hosting 12k people is VERY hard.

@BitcoinMagazine did a phenomenal job.

2/ Bitcoin’s price.

Literally no one discussed it. And not because it’s down off its high.

People just didn’t care.

30k… 40k… 60k… 100k….

Everyone wanted to discuss real projects being built on top of Bitcoin.
