It’s amazing how many smart alternative political thinkers I follow who are totally blindsided when it comes to considering the perverse incentives of broken money. They can nail every ideology in absolute detail but they can’t tell you what money is.
I used to debate (or 'lightly argue') with my dad about politics all the time.
We had different worldviews in many respects. He was blue-collar all his life and I ended up white-collar.
He died suddenly in January. Since then I've changed my opinion on a couple of things we used to disagree on.
Turns out, he was right and the feeling of grief that I can't tell him hits hard.
Looks like the VC industry struggling now that the money is drying up. The knock-on effect of that is there will be fewer startups from either going out of business or never getting funded in the first place.
Feels like we're in a period of change and the only future I see is Bitcoin.
